The US initiated the war in Syria through the CIA Special Activity Center, seizing a significant part of the country illegally. John Kerry mentioned a Plan B involving the American seizure of northern Syria, a vital breadbasket for the Syrian people.

Benghazi was a logistics hub for arming anti-Assad terrorists. Russia exposed this operation by attacking the CIA center, putting a stop to it. The Western media didn't report on it. The efforts to overthrow Assad continue, but now weapons are primarily coming from Croatia. This poses a threat to Russia, so they are waging war against America by targeting our weak economy, specifically the oil-backed dollar.

Russia was initially hesitant to engage in the Syrian conflict, which began in 2011 when the U.S. coordinated with Al Qaeda and other groups. The CIA's secret operation, Timber Sycamore, provided Al Qaeda with anti-tank and anti-air weapons, making them a proxy force for U.S. interests alongside ISIS. The U.S. aimed to overthrow the legitimate Syrian government by using these proxies, including various terrorist factions. In Aleppo, the Syrian Army, supported by Hezbollah and some Iranian-organized troops, led the efforts to reclaim territory. A similar strategy is currently observed in Ukraine.

In 2011, Obama suggested overthrowing Bashar al Assad, leading to years of war in Syria. The US attempted regime change, obstructing a UN peace agreement. Motives for overthrowing Assad remain unclear, possibly due to arrogance or financial interests. Similar actions in Libya resulted in chaos. These decisions lack transparency and have long-lasting consequences.

After the sanctions started, we learned a lot. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. They will never kill us, so they are making us stronger.

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 CAESAR sanctions imposed on Syria were unprecedentedly harsh, even more so than those during World War II. These sanctions included a naval blockade and actions that devalued Syria's currency through the SWIFT system, severely restricting access to essential medications. As a result, many Syrian women suffering from breast cancer could not receive treatment, leading to tragic outcomes. Additionally, a significant explosion in the Beirut harbor, which killed and injured many, devastated Lebanon's economy and banking system, a crucial support for Syria. There are suspicions that this explosion was orchestrated, possibly with the knowledge of the CIA, to further undermine Syria.

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.

The CAESAR sanctions imposed on Syria were unprecedentedly harsh, even more so than those during World War II. A naval blockade and currency devaluation through the SWIFT system made it impossible for Syrians to access essential medical supplies. As a result, women suffering from breast cancer in Syria faced dire consequences without treatment. Additionally, a significant explosion in the Beirut harbor, which killed and injured many, severely impacted Lebanon's economy and banking system, a crucial support for Syria. There are suspicions that this explosion was orchestrated, possibly with the knowledge of the CIA, to further undermine the region.

Syria had a surplus of wheat before the war, but we wanted to create famine by taking it away. We also seized oil and gas fields to disrupt transportation and freeze the population during winter. Despite our efforts, the resilient Syrian people resisted against overwhelming military force for over a decade. To regain control, the US imposed harsh CAESAR sanctions on Syria.

Russia initially resisted involvement in Syria, where the US supported Al Qaeda through covert operations. The CIA supplied weapons, including anti-tank and anti-air missiles, to Al Qaeda in Idlib province. The US used proxies like Al Qaeda and ISIS to overthrow Syria's government. In Aleppo, the Syrian Army, Hezbollah, and Iranian-backed troops were key players. Similar proxy tactics are seen in Ukraine.

In 2000, Saddam Hussein announced that Iraq would sell oil in euros instead of dollars, leading to the US invasion in 2003. Similarly, Venezuela's plan to sell oil for euros in 2002 resulted in a failed coup backed by the US. Despite having the largest oil reserves, Venezuela is now one of the poorest economies. Libya, with the largest oil reserves in Africa, also faced consequences when Muammar Gaddafi suggested selling oil for gold instead of dollars. NATO intervened in Libya, leading to Gaddafi's execution. These countries wanted to break away from using the dollar for oil payments, but faced the wrath of America.

The CAESAR sanctions imposed on Syria were harsh, including a naval blockade and devaluation of their currency. Medical supplies were cut off, leading to preventable deaths. A mysterious explosion in Lebanon's harbor, possibly orchestrated, devastated the country and severed a vital lifeline to Syria. It is suspected that the CIA may have been involved in this destructive act.

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.

El Fasher, North Darfur, a city of 400,000 civilians, has been under RSF blockade for eighteen months with no food, no medicine, and no way out. Drones circle overhead; aid convoys are bombed; children survive on animal feed. Hospitals have collapsed and disease spreads through the camps. The world calls it famine, but this is described as deliberate starvation. The UAE is alleged to be central to the war’s continuation, with claims that the architect behind the siege survives only through a lifeline built in Abu Dhabi. UN investigators documented a heavy rotation of cargo flights from UAE airfields to Chad and Darfur, and aircraft disappearing from radar manifests with Red Crescent logos masking crates of weapons and drones. When the United Nations tried to condemn the El Fasher siege, the UAE blocked the resolution shielding the forced starving civilians. Each plane landing in Darfur is said to keep the siege alive. Independent inquiries confirm RSF forces systematically target non-Arab tribes, including Massalit, Zaghawa, and Berti. In 2023, up to 15,000 people were massacred in El Janaina; in 2025, another 1,500 were slaughtered at Sudan’s largest displacement camp. Survivors recount commanders ordering fighters to wipe out all the Zaghawa, with entire villages burned and civilians executed at checkpoints, and women and children buried in mass graves. This is described as genocide, financed by foreign gold and protected by silence. The UAE could end Sudan’s war but it won’t. The report mentions chemical weapons and foreign mercenaries, with doctors in Darfur describing victims with severe burns, respiratory failure, and corneal injuries after RSF bombardments, symptoms suggested to be exposure to chemical agents. These reports are under investigation, but if proven, they would mark a new phase of chemical warfare against civilians under Emirati-supplied skies. Investigative files also allege Colombian mercenaries recruited through private networks linked to Emirati contractors, trained veterans deployed to reinforce RSF positions during the siege, bringing imported expertise and death. The UAE could end Sudan’s war but it won’t. The motive is described as gold and power. Between 2012 and 2022, an estimated 2,569 tons of undeclared gold valued at about $115 billion were illicitly exported from Africa, the vast majority flowing to Dubai. Swiss aid notes the UAE has emerged as a key center for smuggled African gold, importing hundreds of tons annually, including roughly 435 tons in 2022. RSF front companies, run by Hamedi’s brothers in Dubai, allegedly sell this gold, launder profits, and purchase weapons devastating Sudan. Every ounce refined in Dubai is said to carry the weight of Sudanese blood. The false narrative claims Abu Dhabi backs the RSF to fight Islamism, yet the RSF was created by Islamists. The real goal is control of Sudan’s gold, farmland, and Red Sea ports. The pattern—proxies, fuel chaos, then profit from reconstruction and resource access—extends from Yemen to Libya to Darfur. The final claim is that cut Emirati funding, stop the flights, and freeze the cover would cause the RSF to collapse within weeks, lifting the siege, allowing aid to flow, and ending famine, but it concludes that Abu Dhabi will not act because chaos is profitable and gold outweighs justice. Every child starving in El Fasher, every body in a shallow grave, every smuggled bar of gold is linked to the same source: the UAE could end Sudan’s war but it won’t.

Syria had a significant wheat surplus before the war, and there were plans to seize this wheat to create famine. Additionally, oil and gas fields in northern Syria were targeted to disrupt transportation and harm the civilian population during harsh winters. The goal was to starve and freeze the Syrian people, but their resilience against overwhelming military force frustrated these efforts. To regain control, the US Congress imposed the CAESAR sanctions, which were among the most severe sanctions ever placed on a nation.

The United States will collaborate with partners in Syria to manage risks following the recent decline of support for Assad from Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia. This shift stems from Iran's miscalculations after the October 7 attacks on Israel and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which has weakened Russia's ability to assist Assad. The U.S. has maintained sanctions on Assad, supported military operations against ISIS, and backed Israel's actions against Iranian networks. Moving forward, the U.S. will support Syria's neighbors, ensure stability in Eastern Syria, engage with Syrian groups for a political transition, and remain vigilant regarding the actions of rebel groups. Humanitarian relief efforts will also be prioritized to aid Syria's recovery from years of conflict.

Mike Billington interviews Colonel Richard Black about the US/UK/NATO surrogate war with Russia in Ukraine and the Syria conflict. Black says Russia was 'extremely reluctant to get involved in combat in Syria' and that the US began the war by coordinating with Al Qaeda; 'the CIA supplied them under secret Operation Timber Sycamore' and 'we gave them all of their anti tank weapons, all of their anti air missiles.' He notes 'Plan B was the American seizure of that northern portion of Syria' to seize the breadbasket and oil and gas fields, followed by 'Caesar sanctions' described as 'the most brutal sanctions ever imposed on any nation' and a naval blockade via SWIFT. He cites 'a campaign of rape' and Assad's 2016 discussions on citizenship for children born to ISIS. On Ukraine, he says Putin offered peace proposals in December 2021; Russia preempted an attack, and escalation risks nuclear war, urging a Westphalian peace and development.

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.

Jeffrey Sachs argues that "economic statecraft" is a euphemism for coercion, describing it as "war by economic means" used largely by the United States to crush other economies rather than to promote development or cooperation. He notes that treasury officials have framed it proudly as a tool to bring about regime change, citing Scott Besent’s Davos remarks about crushing the Iranian economy to foment change. Sachs emphasizes that this machinery is "warfare" aimed at destruction, not at improving well-being or enriching the United States, and it has real human costs—driving impoverishment, health crises, and rising mortality. To understand this tool, Sachs situates it within American imperial practice, which he says relies on indirect rule through puppet regimes rather than outright territorial conquest. He traces the lineage to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, the phasing of interventions in Latin America under the Monroe Doctrine’s Roosevelt Corollary, and the 1954 Guatemalan coup against Jacobo Arbenz. He cites Lindsey O’Rourke’s Covert Regime Change, which counted 64 covert regime-change operations by the United States between 1947 and 1989. Economic statecraft, in his view, can function as a regime-change instrument by weakening an economy enough to destabilize a government, facilitating CIA-led or CIA-backed interventions, sometimes wrapped as color revolutions. In the Venezuela case, Sachs traces the shift from a failed 2002 coup attempt to economic coercion as the primary mechanism of pressure. He explains how Venezuela’s oil wealth, once seen as the world’s largest reserves, interacted with U.S. corporate and political power—ExxonMobil and Chevron among them—and how that dynamic fed efforts to topple the Chávez/Maduro governments. He describes the sequence starting with 2014 color-revolution attempts, the role of U.S. funding and media operations via organizations like the National Endowment for Democracy, and the crackdown that followed protests. Sanctions escalated under Obama with the designation of Venezuela as a national security emergency and intensified under Trump, including confiscating foreign-exchange reserves, freezing accounts, and declaring PDVSA under sanction. This culminated in Severe economic collapse: oil production fell about 75% from 2016 to 2020, currency and import capacities deteriorated, and per-capita output dropped by about two-thirds, which Sachs characterizes as "worse than a war." He also points to Trump’s unorthodox actions, such as naming Juan Guaidó as president in IMF context, signaling a unilateral reshaping of legitimacy. For Iran, Sachs describes decades of comprehensive sanctions and Trump’s renewed push to crush the economy using OFAC and extraterritorial sanctions. He cites Scott Besant’s interview claiming that by December, the currency had plummeted and dollar shortages followed, framing this as a deliberate regime-change strategy. He notes that mainstream media largely omitted the causal narrative—U.S. role in provoking protests—despite Besant’s public account. Looking ahead, Sachs discusses the multi-polarity challenge. He suggests that the dollar's dominance is waning as alternative settlement systems emerge, such as non-dollar currencies and parallel institutions, notably driven by China and BRICS members. He envisions a shift toward non-dollar settlements—potentially 25% of global transactions within ten years—enabled by digital settlements and new infrastructure that reduces the reach of U.S. extraterritorial sanctions. However, achieving this requires new, dollar-independent institutions, since existing banks remain reluctant to abandon dollar-based business due to sanctions risk. He concludes by noting that the United States’ heavy-handed currency policy may not be sustainable in the long run, as sanctions reach could lessen once non-dollar settlement networks gain traction. The host closes, recognizing this as a pivotal moment where U.S. coercion could either deter rivals or precipitate broader self-harm, and thanks Sachs for his insights.

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.

The Iraq war was seen by many as an attempt to control the region's oil resources and maintain Washington's influence in global energy policies. In 2000, Saddam Hussein planned to switch Iraq's oil trade from the dollar to the euro, but the US invasion in 2003 ensured that Iraq's oil industry continued to be denominated in dollars.

The U.S. involvement in Syria is characterized as a war of aggression, initiated by the CIA's Special Activity Center, which coordinated with Al Qaeda elements. The conflict began after the U.S. sent operatives into Syria without invitation. The U.S. has seized significant areas, particularly a major part of northern Syria along the Euphrates River, which is considered illegal under international law. This seizure was acknowledged by former Secretary of State John Kerry, who expressed frustration over Syrian forces' victories against Al Qaeda and ISIS. The northern region is crucial as it serves as the breadbasket for the Syrian population.

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.
