A civil war has erupted in Syria as rebels launch a large-scale attack on government forces in Western Aleppo. This coincides with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's visit to Russia, where he met with President Putin. The Russian government has been actively supporting Syria, conducting airstrikes that reportedly killed over 200 rebel members. These rebels are linked to groups the U.S. fought in Afghanistan. Reports indicate that the rebels have captured 10 locations previously held by the Syrian government. In response, both Russia and Syria are planning bombing campaigns to regain control. Updates will follow as the situation develops.

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.

The Trump administration quietly lifted sanctions on individuals like Abu Mohammed al-Jahlani, a former Al Qaeda affiliate, to facilitate cooperation with Israeli and American demands, such as normalizing ties with Israel and removing Palestinian factions. This is described as a "Faustian bargain" that will harm Syrian minorities. The administration also delisted warlords Abu Hamshah and Saif Abu Bakr, previously accused by the US Treasury of kidnapping, extortion, sexual violence, and involvement in the massacre of over 1,500 Alawites. The speaker claims that while Western media promotes the idea that Syria's diversity is being preserved, Christians are being persecuted. The speaker alleges that the goal is to erase Syria's secular identity, cleanse minorities, and establish a compliant, ultra-religious state. The speaker concludes that this policy is a betrayal and complicity, repeating the mistakes made in Afghanistan, and warns of future blowback.

Reports indicate a gas or chemical attack in Syria, resulting in numerous casualties, including children. U.S. military analysts believe Bashar al-Assad's regime is responsible. However, there is skepticism about the evidence supporting this claim, as no inspectors were on the ground to confirm the use of chemical weapons. The conversation shifts to the implications of U.S. military involvement, with concerns about training groups that may align with Al-Qaeda. Questions arise about the motivations behind U.S. actions, particularly regarding support for Islamist movements against regimes that protect religious minorities, like Assad, who has historically safeguarded Christians in Syria. The discussion emphasizes the need for critical questioning of government narratives and the consequences of foreign policy decisions.

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.

I've looked into both Assad and the opposition, but the problem is we don't know who the opposition really is. They could be even worse than Assad. We supply them with weapons and resources, but we're essentially in the dark about who they are. Why are we involved in this conflict at all? Of course, getting rid of ISIS is important, but Assad seems like the lesser of two evils. We've backed the wrong side before, and it ended in disaster. Russia seems to support Assad, so maybe we should let them handle ISIS and let them fight it out.

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.

The speaker warns about covert operations in Syria, orchestrated by the global elite and supported by the US government. They predict that this will lead to a disastrous war, causing severe consequences for the US and the world. The speaker emphasizes that the US will be targeted through asymmetrical warfare, weakening its military, economy, and ability to maintain the dollar as the world reserve currency. This will also impact the flow of oil and energy to the US.

The Assad regime in Syria has fallen after 13 years of civil war, marking a historic opportunity for the Syrian people to build a better future. The United States will work with regional partners to manage the transition and ensure stability. Iran, Hezbollah, and Russia, previously Assad's main supporters, have weakened significantly due to recent conflicts, including the war in Ukraine and attacks on Israel. The U.S. will maintain its military presence to counter ISIS and support a political transition towards a sovereign Syria with a new government. Vigilance is necessary as some rebel groups have troubling histories. The U.S. remains committed to humanitarian relief and the safe return of American citizens, including Austin Tice. This moment presents both risks and opportunities for a more secure Middle East.

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.

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.

There is a significant conflict between Donald Trump, his adviser Steve Bannon, and U.S. intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA. This tension centers on Syria, where the CIA has invested heavily in efforts to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. Trump's campaign policy suggested cooperation with Assad and Russia to combat ISIS, which contradicts the CIA's objectives. This creates challenges for the CIA, as many of its personnel have built careers and alliances with countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey to support the overthrow of Assad.

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.

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.

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.

"the CIA and Saudi Arabia together, in covert operations tried to overthrow Assad." "It was a disaster" and it "also brought in Russia." The speaker calls this "the permanent state" and says "We have made a proxy war in Syria" that has "killed 500,000 people, displaced 10,000,000," and "I predicted it seven years ago that there was no way to do this and that it would make a complete chaos." He urges, "get out." Another speaker adds, "six hundred thousand dead and 14,000,000 displaced," and says the United States should be part of the solution. He notes this happened because of us, cites "timber sycamore"—"The CIA operation together with Saudi Arabia"—"shrouded in secrecy" and "never debated by Congress, never explained." Ending the fight means stopping overthrow of a government and rebel support; "contrary to international law, contrary to the UN Charter"; risk of "an imminent confrontation with Russia." "Go to the UN Security Council ... with Russia on a strategy for ending the fight."

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.

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.

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.
