No Tears for Turkey’s Terrorists
No Tears for Turkey’s Terrorists
This, my fourth volume on the Syrian crisis is, in essence, a compendium of the first three volumes, with this short introduction appended.
At the late-February 2016 time of writing, the Syrian, Lebanese and Russian forces continue to drive the rebel criminals back towards their Raqqa and Idlib bolt holes, thousands of rebels stream into their Turkish safe haven, Turkey continues to slaughter the Kurds, Turkey and Saudi Arabia threaten Armageddon, Western charities and their Western Intelligence sponsors still collaborate with the terrorists, the German people have lost confidence in the Merkel regime and the killing and the carnage continue.
In short, Syria’s Final Solutions continue, as NATO, the Gulf States and their remaining rebel proxies continue to put Syria to the sword. The Syrian rebels still gang rape women and children, they still wreck churches, mosques and shrines and they continue to kill imams and priests. They still not only get away with their war crimes but they are still supported by the Western powers and their media outlets, as if they were the polar opposites of the devils that they are.
Groups and charities like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, Goal and Hand in Hand for Syria have serious criminal cases to answer. They have to explain to war crimes tribunals what gave them the right to enter Syria illegally to give medical help to rebel criminals, why they incited Libyans to summarily lynch black Africans, and what logistical and other help they gave and continue to give the rebel gangsters operating in Syria and Libya.
Because the previous three volumes have documented more than enough prima facie evidence of their crimes of collaboration, it is important to move from crime to punishment and all that that infers. To be blunt about it: these and related groups have been complicit in the most serious of war crimes and, though no punishment is too severe for them, it currently looks like they will escape censure because they and their paymasters are so well insulated from criticism.
But, just as with the Nazis, those who were complicit in spinning the truth on their behalf also have to answer for their crimes of collusion. Specific media figures will have to answer for their deliberate lies about such specific events as the Ghouta chemical gas attack, BBC Panorama’s Saving Syria’s Children farce, the al Bouti assassination and countless more. These crimes of collusion go far beyond waving the flag in times of war. They have been an integral part of imposing a Nazi like final solution on Syria and for that, specific media figures should pay with their liberty, with their livelihoods and with their lives.
The same goes for the specific members of the western intelligence services who colluded with them in these war crimes. They too must swing. The Muslim Brotherhood, their main conduit to the rebels, must be ruthlessly crushed wherever they raise their loathsome heads. Soros, Sutherland and the other puppet masters must likewise swing as the damage they have done to the people and fabric of Syria can never be repaired.
In trying to impose a Final Solution on the people of Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Nigeria and Gaza, these people are as vile as the Nazis on which they are modeled (and who they currently support in Ukraine). Although either they or their vile deeds could have been depicted on the cover, I instead ran with a depiction of another Final Solution, which is not only the polar opposite to theirs but is the one we must strive for. It shows a bunch of children in liberated Ma’loula under the protection of the heroes of the Syrian Arab Army, whose members have saved their homeland, at the cost, in tens of thousands of cases, of their lives.
These children and the communities that begat them must be saved and must be allowed to lead their lives in the peace and prosperity that is their birthright. Those, like Russia, who wish to help them in that regard, must be helped and those NATO and Gulf State autocrats who waged war without mercy upon them must be brought to account not only for their crimes against the Syrian people but also for those against the people of Yemen, Iraq and Nigeria as well.

Abstract, Introduction, Acknowledgments, Caveats
These three small pieces of work are a distillation of my experiences from the Syrian crisis. In contributing to building a framework on how to move Syria’s peace process forward, they survey the main players destroying Syria. These players are identified as the NATO and Gulf State countries, their allies, their proxies, their counter gangs and the various well-funded NGO, media and other groups that aid their crimes. This volume is divided into three chapters to identify these players, with chapter one identifying the main state players, chapter two their proxies and chapter three the media and other non-state players aiding their crimes. Although there is a large degree of overlap between these three groups of players, this division allows us to help formulate policy responses to their crimes and that is the real goal of these three volumes.
The situation in Syria is so dire that its message needs to be told in stark terms. Now is the time for actions to stop these ongoing sanctions and wars of extermination against the Syrian, Arab and other peoples. That being so, these volumes were produced on the old Hollywood maxim of: I don’t want it perfect. I want it done by Tuesday. Though all three volumes are rushed, the message, the core take away content of the three volumes, is not. They lay out who and what are at the heart of the Syrian nightmare and how and why we have to intervene on the side of the Syrian people against the invaders.
This book is the first of three volumes, with the second saluting the civilian and other heroes of Syria who battle on against the odds, and the third plotting a way out of the morass. These heroes are numbered in their millions and include the countless Syrian women and children left widowed and orphaned as a result of the criminal policies of the USA, her allies and their proxies. They are our light in this great darkness.
My hope is that these e books will help the Syrians to tell their own story of betrayal and defiance. Syria is the Stalingrad of our day, a disparate group of peoples resisting amoral foreign powers and their local agents and collaborators. Syria gives us simple and moral choices, to stand with the angels, with the Syrians and with all that is right, or to stand with the devils of Saudi Arabia and their hirelings. There are no moral shades of gray in this for any of us. We can choose to stand with the Syrian Arab Republic and civilization or we can choose the moral abyss that Saudi Arabia and those who stand with Saudi Arabia exemplify.
Despite the carnage, despite the armies of paid Syrian shills and pseudo-experts that pollute the airwaves, outside of Patrick Cockburn’s work on ISIS, or Will Dalrymple’s From the Holy Mountain, Gerard Russell’s Heirs to the Forgotten Kingdoms and Tim Anderson‘s The Dirty War on Syria, there are few books worth consulting, let alone reading, making assembling a bibliography redundant at this time. Though I could add my 437 page defense against a threatened lawsuit by Hand in Hand for Syria and Robert Stuart’s filleting of BBC Panorama’s Saving Syria’s Children black propaganda program to that short list, works like them show there are many people out there proclaiming the truth if only we search for them. Those looking for more current leads can see who I follow on twitter and take it from there. Though some of them, like al-Masdar News, are very current with events on the ground, being in the line of actual fire, they do not have the luxury of taking a strategic overview. This volume is a start in that direction.

CHAPTER ONE
Syria: Playground for Murder Inc
By identifying the main players in the Syrian conflict, this chapter also identifies who gain by the slaughter of Syria’s innocents. It concludes that the main beneficiaries are the USA, together with its NATO, Gulf State and other regional partners in crime.
The Syrian Arab Republic has these powerful long-standing enemies for a number of important reasons. Because, like Lebanon, it is secular, multicultural, diverse and pluralistic, Syria’s very existence negates the efforts of Israel to paint itself as an embattled and vulnerable minority, the region’s only democracy, surrounded on all sides by the stereotypical fanatical Muslim
Arabs that appear in the comic book propaganda Fox News, the New York Times and the Guardian churn out. Because Israel, like the USA, wants only compliant Arab mini-states that will collude with their plans of conquest, the Syrian Arab Republic, its many minorities and all they represent have to be ground down and dispersed to the four corners of the world, just as those of Libya and Iraq were before them.
Because, with the late Colonel Nasser of Egypt, it has stood four-square against the terrorism of the Muslim Brotherhood supremacists and solidly for Arab unity, Arab secularism, Arab solidarity and Arab nationalism, goals that are the antithesis of everything the Muslim Brotherhood criminal fraternity and its Western and Gulf State paymasters stand for, Syria must fall. Using this Mafia model rather than some political one past its sell-by date, it is really that simple. Further, given that the main Mafia forces arrayed against the Syrian Arab Republic have experience aplenty in ethnic cleansing, in genocide and in all the other hallmarks of the Iraqi and Syrian wars of extermination, Murder Inc’s end game for Syria is clear. Let’s roll out a few key examples, beginning with Israel’s collusion with the foreign al Nusra cut-throats on the Golan Heights to make the point that this is a Mafia-style shakedown on Syria.
Surrender/ No Surrender on the Golan Heights
Though the soldiers of Fiji have a fantastic fighting record with the United Nations peace-keeping forces, the UN ordered them to unconditionally surrender to the fanatics of the Al Nusra franchise on the Golan Heights. The most obvious beneficiaries of this abject and humiliating UN surrender were the al Nusra murder gang and its Israeli allies as the UN handed over a large part of the Golan Heights and its defenseless Druze population to them. Were Israel to oppose rather than to collude with the terrorists, this could not have happened.
When the al Nusra’s UN High Command collaborators ordered the forces of the Philippines on the Golan Heights to also unconditionally surrender to the same al Nusra cut-throats, their soldiers phoned up Manila where they were ordered not to surrender under any circumstances and to instead fight to the last bullet. With the help of air strikes from the Syrian air force, these heroes escaped to the Irish UN peace-keepers, who were encamped nearby and, aided by the Syrian defense forces, they extricated themselves from a fate potentially worse than death.
The UN’s behavior on the Golan Heights is but one in a rosary of examples showing that, despite the often heroic work of contingents such as these, the UN is not fit for purpose. More often than not, its High Command dances to the tune of Uncle Sam, Israel and counter-gangs like al Nusra that are in cahoots with them. Although its collusion over the illegal invasion of Iraq or its farcical treatment of Iran over the Syrian negotiations could be cited, these are diversions from our main point that the UN is, by and large, the USA’s puppet and that Iran, Libya, Syria and Iraq are only four of all too many footnotes in the UN’s long hall of collusion, collaboration and corruption with the Great Satan.
Israel: In Bed with al Nusra
Israel is a major player in the war to dismember Syria. Not only does it continue to illegally occupy Syria’s Golan Heights and to suppress the Druze living there, but it actually succors the terrorists slaughtering the Golan Druze and has patched up thousands of these killers in its hospitals before letting them loose to kill and rape again.
In all of this, Israel’s divisive strategies are clear: it wants to help set the Sunnis on the Shia and other vulnerable minorities, to cause as much rancor as they can and to replicate the 1948 Palestinian Holocaust on as many Arabs as possible.
Because extremist Muslim terror gangs are on the same page as Israel regarding all of this, they work alongside Israel and the USA for Syria’s destruction. Thus, on the Golan Heights, the al Nusra terror gang work alongside their Israeli allies against their common enemies: the UN peace-keeping forces and the Syrian Arab Army and its allies.
As the dominant regional power, Israel has nothing to fear from these hired cut throats. There is no possible way al Nusra, ISIS or any of our other counter-gang franchises could threaten Israel by open warfare. Nor could they hope to launch a sustainable guerrilla war against Israel as, unlike Hezbollah, they have no hinterland to operate from, no sympathetic sea to swim in or populace to leech from. Were al Nusra, the Free Syrian Army and the other franchises in a position to threaten Israel either in open combat or by guerrilla warfare, Israel would, of course, respond with overwhelming force and use the opportunity to test-drive their latest American-supplied weaponry to make of Syria another Gaza-like graveyard.
Because the real threat to Israel lies in Arab unity, in Arab nationalism and in Arab peaceful co-existence, Israel is a major player in the Syrian war, not only in the Golan Heights but even in Damascus itself where its air force deliberately bombed the Christian Jarama suburb a few days before Christmas 2015 and where its al Nusra and Free Syrian Army agents have even assassinated research scientists on its behalf. In its war against the Syrian civilian population, Israel, as its experiences in Gaza, in the Nakba and in Lebanon all show, is simply being true to form. As with its allies, questions of compassion, mercy and obeying the rules of war do not not apply. Israel, in any case, is above all of that as America’s UN lapdog never enforces any resolutions against Israel. Israel is never held to account and the very idea that it might be is unthinkable.
Israeli Jihad
Just as with the autocratic states of Turkey and Jordan, so also has Israel shared border patrol duties with the al Nusra and other head-hacking terrorists. Although such an apparently unholy alliance would seem most improbable to the casual observer, it is a fact and one that has important precedents, the most notable of which is when Israel set up Hamas with the intention of undermining the infinitely more secular movements of Fatah, the PFLP and their offshoots. Although Hamas have given Israel a few headaches and superficial black eyes over the years, they are not the existential threat to Israel that peace, secularism and Arab unity are. Israel can not only live with the handful of fireworks Hamas occasionally sends its way but it actually profits from them in a myriad of ways. The human laboratory, which is Gaza, allows Israel to experiment with all kinds of weapons with what is, in essence, a captive audience of human guinea pigs. Israel and its allies get to push the humanitarian bombing envelope that bit further, by keeping the Gazans on a Belsen-like diet
, as they ineloquently put
