				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following is a rough report by a Syrian young man who made the dangerous visit to Turkey for a month and came back to his city Idleb vowing to defend it against the coming Islamist (not Islamic) Wahhabi Jihadists after discovering the below very disturbing facts which we present un-edited except for a touch up and the indicative images.</p>
<p><b>A- Turkish Economy and the financial state of Syrians.</b></p>
<p>The Turkish economy is moving more and more into a Capitalism and Corporations-based economy. All the Turkish industries are monopolized by certain companies; for example there is only one gas company and two mineral water companies. As a price for the well organized streets, the beautiful parks, the easy transportation the nice police cars, and the magnificent governmental buildings, the Turkish people has to pay huge taxes all day.</p>
<p>Whatever medicine you need, even Panadol (pain killer tablets) I think, you have to get a prescription from a hospital who will charge you with 150 T.L that’s about $100!!! Heating in Turkey is based on coal; no one can offer to get a diesel heater. 1 liter of diesel is 4.5 T.L that is 200 S.P!!! (we used to buy diesel for 20 S.P before the unrest.)</p>
<div id="attachment_1282" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 440px"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/er.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1282 " alt="Erdoğan Proved Thieve" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/er.jpg?w=430&#038;h=319" width="430" height="319" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Erdoğan Proved Thieve</p></div>
<p>It would be a logical question to ask how the Syrians afford to live there!! Actually, those I met are mostly rich people with a 4000 T.L monthly spending “some Turkish people live on 1500 T.L in a month!” the Syrians I met are managing to live there without being in need for the Turks whatsoever. The only problem with these Syrians is that they are all traitors or traitors’ supporters.</p>
<p><b>B- Turkish Demography.</b></p>
<p>I’ll only talk about two parts that I lived in. I lived in Adana in a Kurdish area. This area is located in the old part of the city, neglected by the government, village-like streets, old houses, poor people, undrinkable tap water, and all the humiliating methods are adopted in that area. The Kurds are on their ongoing revolution; everyday they would go on their marches and be attacked by the brutal Turkish police, although they are completely peaceful!!</p>
<p>Coming to the second section which is the Alawite one, these people are now being under huge pressure and growing oppression thanks for the Syrian Revolution and the sectarian Turkish media. Turkish people are starting to hate the Turkish Alawites just because of their sects, sometimes they are deprived of job opportunities just because of their background!! The Syrians there are telling lies about the Alawite beliefs in Syria and some blind Turks are taking these stories as granted and start questioning the Alawites there about this and that… I, personally, think that this is not done by coincidence, but rather this is fueled by the sectarian government of Turkey. The Turkish people are not sectarian; they are fanatic to their own Turkish nationality, just as we the Arabs are, but now the Turkish government is doing its best to implant this hatred towards Alawites.</p>
<p><b>C- NATO</b></p>
<p>When I was in Adana I went to its university which is 5km away from Engerlik NATO base. I could see it from a very far distance: there was a lake separating the base from the city and you have to cross a guarded bridge to get to the other side… snipers are located all around the base with the permission to shoot anyone who get closer than 500m to the base!!!</p>
<p>The Turkish people’s stance of NATO presence in Turkey differs according to their political stance. Some are unaware of the danger and the meaning of the existence of that base in Turkey, these people are mostly those who don’t care about politics and who care only about their everyday problems.</p>
<p>Others are against its presence and are aware that this base is an authorized occupation of Turkey, these people are totally against Erdoğan and all of his policies (political, social, economical…) The third section, which is the largest, represents those who support Erdoğan and justify the base and all of Turkey’s relations with Israel and FUKUS as a result of the secular army. They always say that it’s not Erdoğan who agreed to install this base, but rather that he was forced to accept it after military pressure; they also say that a lot of Turkish military officers are Zionists and Masons!!! To cut it short, they believe that false play of military-government struggle.</p>
<p><b>D- Turkey and Syria.</b></p>
<p>Of course I cannot say that I could analyze everything is one month, but I’m just writing about what I’ve seen and about what I’ve heard.</p>
<p>Turkish people love Syria and the Syrians. I know it’s hard to believe this, and I personally did not believe this before I went there, but they do. The difference is in the vision of the future Syria! Of course the difference is totally based upon the political stance and therefore you’ll sense a clear cut in the Turks’ view of the Syrian crisis.</p>
<p>- Lots and lots of Turks are brainwashed by the mainstream media and believe that our army is killing us, support <a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/12/syrian-rebels-thanking-obama-clinton.html" target="_blank">FSA </a>not with money or fighters – and you’ll come to understand how- but they believe that the FSA is a real good patriotic army!! This is also believed by of different groups… some of them took this stance because of what their media and government tell them, others because of humanitarian causes, and the largest group is made of those who are part of the conspiracy against Syria and who are sectarian people called ‘Nurjian’ (I’ll talk about this group in detail in the coming parts).</p>
<p>- Some Turks are in favor of the Syrian Arab Army and Bashar Alassad. These people are not a small section but they are not allowed to say what they have to say, they are oppressed. This section is mostly made from those who are totally against Erdoğan and believe that Erdoğan (and I quote the exact words of a Turkish man) <b>“had turned Turkey into USA’s bitch”</b> they are against the Islamist orientation of the Turkish government. This pro-Syria section believes that Syria is the last frontier against Israel and the <b>NWO </b></p>
<p><b>(New World Order)</b></p>
<p>- Many and many more of Turks just don’t care about who wins the war, but they say that we love Syria and wish Syria and Syrians the best and that Turkey must not middle meddle in Syria and the Syrians. This group contains some supporters of Erdoğan, some of those against him, and those who don’t care about politics.</p>
<p>Where Syria is going?!</p>
<p><b>- Part of a new Ottoman Empire!</b></p>
<div id="attachment_1283" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 501px"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/erdo.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-1283 " alt="Islamist Caliph Erdogan" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/erdo.jpg?w=491&#038;h=386" width="491" height="386" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Islamist Caliph Erdogan</p></div>
<p><b></b>In Turkey there is an Islamist movement called the “Nurjia” it follows the teachings and writings if Badei’alzaman Saeed AlNursi. I have to go a little bit in the details of this group and its history so that you understand their perspectives.</p>
<p>This Saeed AlNursi lived in the 1920s, during the times of moving from the Ottoman Islamic Empire to the Turkish Secular Republic. He opposed Mustafa Kamal Ataturk’s secular view and was exiled to Anatolia where he wrote his books which, allegedly, are about religion. Actually, I’ve read some of his writings and it is clear that he is calling for the restoration of the Empire… the Nurjians today teach his books as religious ones but actually it’s nothing more than a cover to brainwash the students with the Ottomanist views. In every city they have many schools which are boarding schools, i.e. with no T.Vs, or internet. Students are being brainwashed all the time in a very sickening manner. These people are in complete power of everything in Turkey; even Erdoğan consults their head consulter. I spent few days with the head of a district (which I cannot name it for my own safety and to keep my identity concealed) and what I’ll write what this man told me (who once refused to meet Erdoğan because he was busy!!)</p>
<p>“Once you get rid of this ‘kafer’ sacrilegious regime there will be no need for the borders separating Syria from Turkey, we would become one united state. Lebanon will feel insecure and threatened if they don’t join this state. After that the now ongoing deliberation with Egypt will have reached its resolutions so that Egypt would join this new state and it’ll be called “the United Islamist States”. As you know Syria after the war like Egypt will be weak and it needs a strong country like Turkey to be allied with; and because countries after dictatorships and wars are usually politically infertile, the leader of this new state would be Erdoğan and a ‘Walli’ (governor) would be appointed in each part of this state. Maybe, after this state moves into its perfect state, elections would be held to appoint a new leader.” And the capital of this state would be Cairo, Damascus, or Istanbul?? I asked. “Of course it must be Istanbul, you remember that the last capital of Islamic caliphate was Istanbul, and Istanbul is already the center of the Middle East.” I told him that this is a real pleasure for me to hear this –I couldn’t express my pro-Syria attitude there for fear of being killed, and I liked the information I was getting because of this fake personality I took, I felt like a real spy- but I don’t think that the Syrians would accept this great Islamist spring. “Who said that? Most of the Syrian Imams and educated elites are in favor of this state and of course Imams are the leaders of any community. You’ll meet these honorable men”</p>
<p>In a few days I was fortune to meet these “Honorable men.” Doctors, architects, teachers, merchants, industrialists and most importantly Imams were present there. These men are from Aleppo, Aleppo rural, Idleb, Kifrenbel, Haas, Homs, Rastan, Kurds Mountains – Latakia rural and all the shitty sectarian places you may think about. With the fake anti-Assad identity, I was a real spy in this wasp nest. After lunch, a sermon was delivered by a Turkish Imam and translated into Arabic by a Syrian. After this, the Syrian Imams started to give their speeches… I could understand that the war in Syria is between Kafers and Muslims, that in Syria you cannot pray in a mosque more than the five prayers, the two stars in the Syrian flag are a symbol of the ruling “family” and the oppressed people, and that Syrians in the “freed” areas totally agree about this “great Islamic flowery state that would remove Kafers in the Arab world and Iran along with Israel once it’s established!!” after that they started to make Duaa’ to win this Jihad, asked Allah to give faith and support for the Mujahideen in Bilad Alsham, and to help them establish this new Islamic cornerstone to conquer the world!!</p>
<p><b>- A new Afghanistan with sectarian beliefs and plans.</b></p>
<p>I got a contact with some guys from Aleppo and Idleb rurals. They gave me a full account of where Syria is going once they take control; of course they believed that I’m with them, otherwise I’d be killed by now. When FSA invaded Aleppo rural they started to steal and vandalize the farms owned by Aleppo’s wealthy families. These guys used to travel into Syria when FSA gets in a new area, steal whatever they want and sell it in Turkey. When I asked them is this Halal (religiously approved) they screamed yes sure, our Imams in Jabhat AlNusra said that it’s OK to take whatever we want from these Shabiha’s houses because their money is ours and they stole it from our pockets!! I told them but this money should be divided among all the Syrians not only those who lay hands on these houses! They said that after the revolution victory rights would be given to its rightful owners.</p>
<p>In one of our conversation I intentionally mentioned Nubol and Alzahra’ (two villages in Aleppo rural with Shiaa in them, FSA couldn’t invade them but they are besieging these two villages) they told me that no food, water or any supplies are allowed into these two villages “we are strangling them” I told them that I’m happy about depriving the Syrian Arab Army (Assad gangs I said of course) of supplies, but that I’m sad for the civilians there… These guys told me: “are you crazy! Or you city city guys are so naive!! These two villages are Shia’ like Foua’ in your Idleb and they deserve it more than the Army, we are not aiming against the army by this siege, but also against these pigs sons living there. Our imams are now confused what to do with these people when we get into their villages; some say –and I’m in favor of this opinion- kill them all, kill the children before the men because the children will grow up with this Kafer seed in their hearts, so better get rid of them now than being a trouble in the future. Other imams are too kind they say that we kill only those who help the army and we send the rest into exile.” And where this exile should be? I asked. “in hell, why asking me!! They can go to hell or drown themselves in the sea, they can go to their head pig in Iran, but new Syria doesn’t need such people in it. Do you want them to stay?” I couldn’t hold myself from saying “yes of course, they are Syrians after all” and he gave me that disgusted look.</p>
<p>I won’t go into detail about the rest of the Syrian religious and ethnic groups, but I’ll just write what they have prepared for them. Armenians have to go back to their country in Armenia, why live in our country when they have their own!! Alawites are of different groups; those in the army MUST be killed, the others either go and live in the mountains tops or work as servants in the houses of Imams, and the revolution is too kind because it always offers them the exile option. Druze and Ismailies must convert into Islam (as If they are not) or go out of Syria. Christians: “you see our religion doesn’t tell us to force them into Islam, but they have to live in accordance to our conventions and traditions” what do you mean by this? I asked. “You see our Islam forbids us of seeing a woman’s hair, so they have to put the scarf. And they must pay the Jizyah (Islamic based taxing system.) The last thing they have to adapt with is that they cannot drink alcohol, neither publicly nor privately; not only because it’s Haram but also because it’s harmful; we are doing this for their sake too!!”</p>
<p><b>Intelligence Failure.</b></p>
<p>- In this age of hypertechnolgization, I feel that there is something I am missing in the performance of the the Syrian Intelligence. I am no spy, nor I have ever had any formal training, yet I was able, with my modest personal skills, to infiltrate some rebel militia leaders. I can say with confidence that I reached some important info. Syrian intelligence can do much better in its hunt for intel. I even know of cases where intel came to the security forces as easy as an unpaid snitch passing info, but it was not taken seriously. Something needs to be done regarding the intel war, and it needs to be done urgently.</p>
<p>- I came all the way from Turkey, passed by many military checkpoints, and NO ONE examined my luggage!!! I could smuggle 20 Kalashnikovs within my two bags without anyone to ask to check my ID. This is a deadly security failure on the side of our Syrian Army…</p>
<p><b>What I’ve seen on my way from and back to Syria</b></p>
<p>- I passed by infantry academy… they are in complete control of it!!! 3000 fighters from Altawheed brigade taking it as their base!! Why don’t the jets burn the hell out of it?? They are only shelling the residential areas… WHY??</p>
<p>- speaking about the rebels unity; FSA is by no way united…I asked this to the car driver on my way back whose cousin is one of the rats, why is only Altawheed brigade is in that base and he told me that he got the control of it after many clashes with the other brigades. And he told me too that once FSA was besieging a military base in Aleppo rural and they needed tanks to get into that base, they asked Altawheed brigades to help them with his tanks -he is the only tanks owner in Aleppo- and he refused to join unless third of the booties but the other groups refused to give more than a quarter and because of this the Syrian Army was able to push them back….They are nothing more than armed gangs….</p>
<p>- With 3 Allah Akbar you can steal any car you want and go to<a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/12/syrian-rebels-thanking-obama-clinton.html" target="_blank"> Jabhat AlNusra</a> who will give you papers for this car and you can drive it in the “Freed” areas!!! There is a huge automobile market in Tal Rifat for ‘Allah Akbar’ cars…</p>
<p>- I passed through the industrial area of Aleppo (Shekh Najar); it’s under Jabhat AlNusra control… No one can steal anything from it, otherwise they’ll kill any thief!! BUT, if you pay 500,000 SP you can choose any factory and take EVERYTHINNG in it “Halal-ly”</p>
<p>- When I first got into Syria, I was shocked to find no one of FSA terrorists to check who I am!!! All Mossad and CIA agents could enter Syria within 1 day!!! What shocked me even more was to find 7 trucks of 20 tons loading capacity -140 tons combined- stolen and being sent to Turkey!!! P.S we used to buy 1 K.G bread for 9 SP that is 20 cents!!! Now we are buying it for SyP100 that is $2!!!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Under the title: <b>Misleading Media on Syria &#8211; Shaping Public Opinion</b>, I aim to post a few examples of how the NATO aligned mainstream media is used to systematically shape public opinion by fabricating, misleading, dis-informing and deliberately manipulating in order to further the goal of theirs paymasters.</p>
<p>I endeavor to show irrefutable evidence of incidents that occurred while the NATO media was playing a huge role in demonizing the Syrian state, its army, its police &amp; security forces, even normal people who just didn&#8217;t support the NATO imposed &#8216;spontaneous public uprising&#8217; on them. These examples, aired by media channels based inside Syria, have caused these channels to be banned by the same parties preaching Syrians &#8216;democracy&#8217; &amp; &#8216;free speech&#8217;. On December 05, 2011 the European Union ministers of foreign affairs convened to come up with a decision that will stain their foreign policy &amp; label them hypocrites forever. They decided to ban a number of Syrian based channels, namely <a href="http://addounia.tv/index.php?page=live">Addounia </a> the privately owned satellite channel, <a href="http://www.champress.net/">Champress </a>a privately owned website &amp; <a href="http://www.alwatan.sy/">Al Watan Newspaper</a> a privately owned newspaper. And not surprisingly the Arab League, (a formation representing the governments of the Arab World, with the exception of Syria) issued an order on September 05, 2012 to 2 satellite management companies, Nilesat &amp; Arabsat, sponsored by the League, to take down Syrian State satellite TV, Syria News another state owned satellite channel &amp; Addounia TV the privately owned channel from air, for no publicly stated logical reason. But perhaps this is the real reason:</p>

<div>
<p>Top Muslim scholar and a teacher to over a million Muslim from all over the world, who taught them real Islam vs the evil Wahhabi version that terrorists follow, Dr. Muhammad Saeed Ramadan Al-Buti was killed by the Wahhabi terrorists sending him a suicide bomber that killed him inside Al Eman Mosque in the heart of Damascus while he was giving a lesson in Islam to a group of his students on 21st March 2013, the blast killed at least 49 of his students including his own grandson Ahmad Muhammad Tawfiq Al-Buti.</p>
<p>NATO propagandist media not only failed to condemn the killing, they tried, most of them, to cover the crime by drawing the accusation of the killing to the Syrian State, in the world of criminal investigation that is called: Complicity in crime, and bears the same punishment by the law in many countries over the world, and a little less punishment in some.</p>

<p>Sama TV, one of the Syrian based media banned off satellite broadcasting by a European Union decision in their free speech preaching, and banned before that by the Arab League led by Qatar &amp; Saudi Arabia, the two beacons of democracy and free speech in the region, made the following report to deface the NATO&#8217;s propagandists and examined the &#8216;evidences&#8217; they brought.</p>

<p>Faisal Kassem, the presenter in the Qatari Al Jazeera TV channel had a previous share in our misleading media series for criticizing the Egyptian opposition for calling for foreign help while pushing to the max the Syrian opposition to call for foreign help: <a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/11/so-he-bluffed-his-people-and-they.html" target="_blank">http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/11/so-he-bluffed-his-people-and-they.html</a></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">Under the title: <b>Misleading Media on Syria &#8211; Shaping Public Opinion</b>, I aim to post a few examples of how the NATO aligned mainstream media is used to systematically shape public opinion by fabricating, misleading, dis-informing and deliberately manipulating in order to further the goal of theirs paymasters.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I endeavor to show irrefutable evidence of incidents that occurred while the NATO media was playing a huge role in demonizing the Syrian state, its army, its police &amp; security forces, even normal people who just didn&#8217;t support the NATO imposed &#8216;spontaneous public uprising&#8217; on them. These examples, aired by media channels based inside Syria, have caused these channels to be banned by the same parties preaching Syrians &#8216;democracy&#8217; &amp; &#8216;free speech&#8217;. On December 05, 2011 the European Union ministers of foreign affairs convened to come up with a decision that will stain their foreign policy &amp; label them hypocrites forever. They decided to ban a number of Syrian based channels, namely <a href="http://addounia.tv/index.php?page=live">Addounia </a> the privately owned satellite channel, <a href="http://www.champress.net/">Champress </a>a privately owned website &amp; <a href="http://www.alwatan.sy/">Al Watan Newspaper</a> a privately owned newspaper. And not surprisingly the Arab League, (a formation representing the governments of the Arab World, with the exception of Syria) issued an order on September 05, 2012 to 2 satellite management companies, Nilesat &amp; Arabsat, sponsored by the League, to take down Syrian State satellite TV, Syria News another state owned satellite channel &amp; Addounia TV the privately owned channel from air, for no publicly stated logical reason. But perhaps this is the real reason:</p>

<h2 style="text-align:center;">Who&#8217;s Shelling Residential Neighborhoods</h2>

<p>If you wonder why Syrian &#8216;regime&#8217; didn&#8217;t fall yet with all the weapons given to tens of thousands of imported Wahhabi Al Qaeda FSA Sex Jihadists in Syria, because this is what they really target with their weapons: another Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Somalia, Serbia..</p>
<p>These Saudi &amp; Qatari supported prehistoric apes don&#8217;t seek &#8216;democracy&#8217; &amp; &#8216;freedom&#8217;, all they want is destruction &amp; killing the &#8216;infidels&#8217; &#8211; who don&#8217;t look like them.</p>

<p>Under the title: <b>Misleading Media on Syria &#8211; Shaping Public Opinion</b>, I aim to post a few examples of how the NATO aligned mainstream media is used to systematically shape public opinion by fabricating, misleading, dis-informing and deliberately manipulating in order to further the goal of theirs paymasters.</p>
<div></div>
<div>
<div>I endeavor to show irrefutable evidence of incidents that occurred while the NATO media was playing a huge role in demonizing the Syrian state, its army, its police &amp; security forces, even normal people who just didn&#8217;t support the NATO imposed &#8216;spontaneous public uprising&#8217; on them. These examples, aired by media channels based inside Syria, have caused these channels to be banned by the same parties preaching Syrians &#8216;democracy&#8217; &amp; &#8216;free speech&#8217;. On December 05, 2011 the European Union ministers of foreign affairs convened to come up with a decision that will stain their foreign policy &amp; label them hypocrites forever. They decided to ban a number of Syrian based channels, namely <a href="http://addounia.tv/index.php?page=live" target="_blank">Addounia </a> the privately owned satellite channel, <a href="http://www.champress.net/" target="_blank">Champress </a>a privately owned website &amp; <a href="http://www.alwatan.sy/" target="_blank">Al Watan Newspaper</a> a privately owned newspaper. And not surprisingly the Arab League, (a formation representing the governments of the Arab World, with the exception of Syria) issued an order on September 05, 2012 to 2 satellite management companies, Nilesat &amp; Arabsat, sponsored by the League, to take down Syrian State satellite TV, Syria News another state owned satellite channel &amp; Addounia TV the privately owned channel from air, for no publicly stated logical reason. But perhaps this is the real reason:</div>

<p>Married and has a daughter called Alma, his wife gave birth to his son 40 days after his martyrdom and they called the new baby Nidal.</p>
<p>So many similar stories of brutality targeted thousands of Syrian families in their loved ones, many were even more brutal and savage in nature, the story of Nidal stands out as it was the one that caused a massive shock to the Syrian public being one of the first such heinous crimes the Syrian community didn&#8217;t witness since the days of the Ottomans.</p>

<p>He was picked based on sectarian hatred, those who picked him wanted to cause strife among the people and initiate a civil war leading to more deaths and revenges, the thing they failed till date in causing and they&#8217;re not tired to stop as their enablers have opened their money taps very wide, and their arsenal to the max to the same terrorists they claim they fight elsewhere.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Imagine this scenario: You receive a call at work, a hysterical voice on the other end of the line screams there has been an accident in the neighborhood, and your child is somewhere on the street..</p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/damascusexplosion.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0;" alt="" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/damascusexplosion.jpg?w=352&#038;h=400" width="352" height="400" border="0" /></a></p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">You rush hysterically from work, reaching your neighborhood you are met with scenes of chaos, emergency vehicles and sounds of screaming sirens fill the entire area, you see body parts on the ground, people are frantically searching in the debris, seems there was an explosion, could be a gas pipe or a vehicle, you are still in a state of shock, when you suddenly notice a small body on the ground with familiar clothes, as you rush towards it, you notice a small pink school bag which you remember very well, your mind is very confused, as you realize  that this is your child laying on the ground, body charred, with limbs missing and covered in blood, gasping as she takes her last few breaths. You see at least a dozen bodies with the same horrific injuries, body parts are scattered everywhere, at the same time several news crews arrive on the scene as one begins filming the area a reporter starts asking witnesses about the circumstances surrounding the explosion and their reactions, people watching this live at home are commiserating with you, when suddenly the TV presenter notices there&#8217;s a sign on the other side of the street with the words written upside down, turning his focus, the reporter begins asking questions about the sign .. People watching from their homes start laughing, &#8216;activists&#8217; on media pick it up and begin sharing it on social media outlets, immediately the main media focus is on the sign, with the massive tragedy already forgotten.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>At the hospital with what&#8217;s left of your child&#8217;s body, you watch desperate people rush in and frantically ask for names of the deceased and injured, while the TV monitor in the corridor screens images of the “upside down” sign, as the presenters make jokes from their studios. Tell me about your feelings then.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><b><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Exhibit no. 13:</span> </b><b>Public opinion VS Imperialists </b></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><b><span style="font-size:x-large;">The Art of Trolling</span></b><b> </b></p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Syria has been subjected to an evil plan called the Arab Spring, we discussed this in detail before and you can check one of the tens of posts earlier on this same blog to see how they depended on the stupidity of the Sheeple and they weren&#8217;t disappointed: <a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-arab-spring-spontaneous-public.html">The Arab Spring, A Spontaneous Public Uprising, Or Is It?</a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">When the plot failed in Syria to follow the paths of Libya, Egypt and Tunisia and people didn&#8217;t take to the streets in the &#8216;soft revolution&#8217; as was planned, the always ready terrorists were a must to be used, and Al Qaeda was imported from Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, even from Egypt &amp; Tunisia, the project is about to collapse and all the gains are about to vaporize if the plotters didn&#8217;t react fast, and we started hearing terms like: &#8216;President is killing own people&#8217;, &#8216;Freedom&#8217;, &#8216;Massacres&#8217;, &#8216;Random Tanks Shelling&#8217;, and all these terms we got used to while the real perpetrators were none else than NATO&#8217;s most valuable asset: Al Qaeda.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/terrorist.jpg?w=300"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0;" alt="" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/terrorist.jpg?w=320&#038;h=245" width="320" height="245" border="0" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">But what is the real plan? Is it really spreading democracy? Out of a sudden and after killing millions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen.. the western leaders want to export their &#8216;wonderful freedom &amp; democracy&#8217; to our region? The answer is not as difficult as you think and the goals are so essential: &#8216;Control riches resources and secure Israel&#8217;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Levant is the next Persian Gulf, lots of riches including vast quantities of natural gas, oil, uranium among others were discovered in between Syria, Lebanon, Occupied Palestinian territories and Cyprus. This is a must have for the western economies. Add to that, the West wants to build the gas pipeline called <a href="http://www.nabucco-pipeline.com/">Nabucco Pipeline</a>, on one hand, and another pipeline (we accurately dubbed &#8216;<b>Camelistan</b>&#8216;), on the other hand. The latter pipeline is meant for Qatari oil to get to Europe through KSA, Jordan, Syria then Turkey and from there to Europe thus cutting Russian pipelines feeding Europe now. This network of pipelines has been nicknamed &#8216;<a href="http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/175050">Pipelinestan</a>&#8216; by Pepe Escobar, a brilliant political analyst.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">That&#8217;s not all, there&#8217;s another very important goal for the west to achieve in our region which is &#8216;protecting the security of Israel&#8217;, even if it was on the account of their own citizens, they don&#8217;t care. Most of the wars in the region including the invasion of Iraq, were having this main purpose on mind, remember dismantling the Iraqi army was the first decision of the US in Iraq? To achieve such a goal there should be a shift in the ideologies of the major armies in the region and namely: containing the Turkish army and dismantling the Syrian and Egyptian armies. While they are very successful on the Turkish front where tens of top army generals either resigned, imprisoned or early retired for no logical reason, read this piece 2 years ago, which was followed by many generals resigning in bulk ore ending their services one way or another: <a href="http://my.telegraph.co.uk/metinyilmaz/metin/495/step-by-step-to-tayyiban-revolution/">Step by Step to Tayyiban Revolution or Reborn of Rebublic of Turkey?</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/erdog.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" style="border:0;" alt="" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/erdog.jpg?w=400&#038;h=357" width="400" height="357" border="0" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">On the Egyptian front there&#8217;s a huge success for the western powers now with Muslim Brotherhood in power and I wouldn&#8217;t want to waste my time here repeating how this terrorist organization was founded, supported and supplied by the west, but now the Egyptian Army is being exhausted in internal issues and being morally weakened to avoid being any threat to Israel.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In Syria, well.. Here is where the western powers are still working hard to &#8216;achieve democracy&#8217; in any way they could, even getting their old buddies from Al Qaeda and rebranding them: Freedom Fighters, Rebels, Free Syrian Army, Jabhat Al Nusra.. whatever, just to exhaust the Syrian Army systematically while the mainstream media, NATO&#8217;s propaganda machines work hard to demonize the army by repeating: Syrian Army killing own people and such silly accusations to engrave it in the conscious of their audience: the Sleeping Sheeple. We reached a point where NATO openly is funding, training, supplying, leading Al Qaeda members in Syria and fighting them in Mali, Afghanistan and elsewhere. A friend of mine sent a comment to newly appointed John Kerry saying: &#8216;We have a problem now, our friends the rebels want to kill our friends in the opposition&#8217; and attaching the following video clip to him:</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='614' height='376' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/W8hoVo_Fiu4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:small;"><i>Video with English subtitles, open in YouTube and turn cc on if required</i></span></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">How to secure the &#8216;Jewish State of Israel&#8217; and control the resources of this region? Install puppet regimes who would follow orders blindly, but the Iraqi experience taught the west a huge lesson: after 8 years of direct occupation and as soon as Iraq started to get a grasp on its own sovereignty, the country shifted alliance from being a US stooge to the opposite camp. So the plan was keep on dividing the sovereign countries in the region into smaller, controllable sectarian based entities and keep them fighting together as long as possible to wear each other out, or ethnically cleanse the region and fulfill the biblical prophecies by working on establishing the Jewish Empire waiting their king, the anti-Christ, and on the other side support the establishing of an Islamist (not Islamic) state and laugh at the less educated and call it: the Islamic Caliphate.. <a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-rise-of-caliphate.html"><b>The Rise of the Caliphate</b></a>, is an excellent short piece to check.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A brave young man went on a personal journey from the city of Idleb, north west of Syria, into Turkey, the country that is mainly behind the &#8216;spontaneous public revolution in Syria&#8217; as if their own Kurdish prosecution is not enough for them, and came back with shocking and disturbing facts he put it in this report: <a href="http://realsyriaupdates.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/shocking-facts-exposed-a-syrian-infiltrator-behind-enemys-lines/">Shocking Facts from Behind Enemy Lines</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There is a major problem facing the western powers when it&#8217;s coming to Syria, they are not winning for many reasons, one of them is they exposed their own plans very early that the real international community noticed and helped Syria avoid a western intervention to install &#8216;democracy&#8217; in the country.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 330px"><a href="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/democracycoming.jpg"><img style="border:0;" alt="" src="http://arabisouri.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/democracycoming.jpg?w=320&#038;h=240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">If you don&#8217;t come to democracy, democracy will come to you</p></div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And there&#8217;s the Syrian Army which is adored and supported by the Syrian people, I know you might feel stupid reading this if it&#8217;s new for you, but it&#8217;s about time you wake up: (<b><a href="http://democratic-syria.blogspot.com/2012/10/syrians-adore-their-syrian-arab-army.html">Syrians Adore Their Syrian Arab Army</a></b>)</p>
</div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And finally the media is not working out because Syrians have a very long established anti-propaganda powerful genes in their 7,000 years of history accumulated, which arrogant plotters at the Pentagon ignored when they planned for the <b><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/plans-for-redrawing-the-middle-east-the-project-for-a-new-middle-east/3882">&#8216;New Middle East&#8217; through &#8216;Creative Chaos&#8217;</a></b>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">In order to divert attention of the truth seekers in the west who started realizing what fools they were in supporting this evil plan in the Middle East called the Arab Spring, NATO propaganda turned to what it does best: <b>Trolling</b>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">53 mostly civilians were killed, 238 wounded and the count is still on,</span> was the toll of a deadly suicide car bombing in a Mazraa residential neighborhood in Damascus yesterday. The horrible images from the scene were beyond describing. And instead of focusing on those lives lost and for what reason? And how to help the Syrians fight this kind of terror? Are the western countries doing good in supporting these &#8216;freedom fighters&#8217; in the country, well that&#8217;s not the goal, right? The propaganda machines come to work, and use all the trolling experience it has. There are millions effected from the Syrian Crisis, but there&#8217;s this one single person let&#8217;s concentrate on..! Remember the single Chinese blind man activist representing the aspiration of the 1.5 billion Chinese? The Burmese single activist Aung San Suu Kyi, who once her role is over and &#8216;democracy achieved&#8217; we started hearing stories of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Muslims_in_Burma">thousands of Muslims being killed in Burma</a> whom were protected previously by the &#8216;evil junta&#8217;?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">There&#8217;s a man who is either planted as an infiltrator to discredit the Syrian state media, or he has a personal media appearing desire, who trails the Syrian TV whenever it goes to a scene of a terrorist attack to appear on the screen and express his feelings. This single person is being picked by the mainstream and the 53 killed, hundreds wounded story was dwarfed in exchange. Remember the example this post started with? Imagine yourself in the place of someone who lost a love one in this bombing then check the Lede Blog of the New York Times, the western leading trolling propagandists, they pick on the man and present him in a sarcastic way in a very obvious trolling strategy:</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Then comes the other trolls for rescue, other mainstream media would pick on this single person and start spreading this piece of information diverting the attention of the Sheeple to something with a hidden opinion shaping: &#8216;Whatever comes from Syrian State Media is a lie&#8217;, which the sleeping conscious would apply to the news of those tens killed and hundreds injured then start to look elsewhere.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:right;">لفهم ما يواجهه السوريون، علكم أن تتعرفوا على الشخص الذي يقود &#8220;الثورة السورية&#8221; المزعومة ضدهم، ومن أفضل من عراب هذه الثورة المزعومة برأيكم؟ الشيخ عدنان العرعور، الذي يقود الثورة عن طريق محطتيه الفضائيتين صفا ووصال التي تبث من السعودية على نفس الأقمار الصناعية عربسات ونايلسات التي حجبت بث القنوات السورية وابقت على هاتين المحطتين.</p>
<p style="text-align:right;">في هذا الفيديو، يدعو الشيخ عدنان العرعور الى احراق دمشق العاصمة بكل الوسائل كحرق الأشجار، الحجارة، وسكب ما تبقى من النفط والزيت (بسبب العقوبات الغربية) على الطرقات واحراقها، اغراق السجاد بالوقود واحراقه.. الى ماهنالك..<br />
تمتعوا بمشاهدة هذا الجوكر وتذكروا كيف يعاني الشعب السوري من أتباع هذا المسخ الذين ينفذون تعليماته بحذافيرها (اضغطوا على cc للترجمة باللغة الانكليزية):</p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='614' height='376' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/yzGFPhjTHt4p?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;">في ظهور ثانٍ له، نفس الشخص يجن جنونه حول الأخبار عن أن أحد أعضاء مجموعة المعارضة السورية المدعومة من تركيا والمسماة &#8220;المجلس الوطني السوري&#8221; يؤكد بأنه شاهد عناصر من مجاهدي القاعدة في مدينة حلب، يقاتلون تحت لواء بلطجية الجيش الحر المدعوم من تركيا، فيجن جنون هذا الشخص ويسعى الى التغطية على وجود عناصر ارهابية من القاعدة في الاعلام، بالرغم من أن وجودهم قد تم اثباته مرات عدة على وسائل الاعلام، المراسلين الدوليين والمراقبين:</p>
<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text/html' width='614' height='376' src='http://www.youtube.com/embed/f76ZGI_Pkugp?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></p>
<p style="text-align:right;">كل من يقول بأن القاعدة موجودة في سوريا هو خائن &#8211; يقول عدنان العرعور، لأن القاعدة هي أحدى أفرع الجيش الحر الارهابي، الذي تحاول وسائل الاعلام بشتى الطرق تحيده واعطاء صورة على انه مكون فقط من جنود سوريين &#8220;منشقين&#8221; يقاتلون &#8220;القاعدة&#8221; ..!! اثنان من الفصائل التي يدعمها حلف شمال الأطلسي يتقاتلون فيما بينهم على الأرض السوري؟! حسنٌ، ومن سيصدق هذا؟</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Russian channel Rossiya 24 (Russian: Россия 24) has published a retrospective view about the seven months of reporting from Syria three days ago, in which the team of Anastasia Popova was on location there.</p>
<p>This period of reporting from Syria also leaves its mark at hard-nosed journalists &#8211; they have found many friends on site and they have lost a part of them again due to the terrorism. This movie is in its whole then also dedicated to the victims of the terrorism in Syria and especially to Amir Abu Jafar (Amir Abu Dschafar).</p>
<p>He first appeared in a <a href="http://apxwn.blogspot.de/2012/07/frontberichterstattung-homs.html" target="_blank">video report from the Syrian city of Homs</a> and he was later kidnapped by the &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221; (FSA) gangs and then brutally murdered.</p>
<p>This movie is <a href="http://www.vesti.ru/videos?vid=475233" target="_blank">in its original version</a> about 44 minutes long (the German version is shorter by one or two minutes due to the fact that some passages with &#8220;um, er, humph, hm&#8221; were cut off because it is hard to accompany them in a translation) and it should grab the viewers on a purely emotional level &#8211; without any tactical or even strategic implications.</p>
<p><span id="more-1230"></span><br />
One can look at the matter soberly and one is also able to identify some elements of black and white painting; overall, this movie would undoubtedly pass off under the label &#8220;propaganda&#8221;, or to name it more positive, under the label of &#8220;information war&#8221;. We are able to once let them get away with it from this side.</p>
<p>The build-up of emotions is characteristic for this kind of movie. However, the pointing out of the escalating brutality against civilians and prisoners under the guise of a &#8220;religious war&#8221; is here essential and the basic message which needs to be transported.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_1231" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 330px"><img src="http://www.syrianews.cc/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Amir-Abu-Jafar.jpg" alt="Amir Abu Jafar" width="320" height="274" class="size-full wp-image-1231" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Amir Abu Jafar<br /></p></div>War is war, soldiers die &#8211; this is &#8220;normal&#8221; in this ugly context. But one may wonder, for what or for whom they are doing this. So, one should not write off everything thereto with the propagandistic production of moods. Besides, this is also interesting.</p>
<p>The team of Anastasia Popova was honoured with the Medal &#8220;For Courage&#8221; (bravery medal) in Russia that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_%22For_Courage%22_(Russia)" target="_blank">is actually reserved for the military circles</a>. This is hardly surprising: they spurt along with the soldiers through the hail of bullets and they really do risk something in order to be authentic. Within the meaning of the fact that wars are nowadays fought apparently mainly in the media, so this is correct.</p>
<p>And this line is therefore also officially supported and wanted by the Russian side &#8211; also see the definition of the category of persons who are eligible for such an award:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;In exceptional cases to civilians due to personal bravery in the defence of the fatherland.&#8221;<br />
</em><br />
The German transcript of the film is released here (see link to source) in a very rough shape if someone feels called to do a translate of the text to Kiswahili, etc. &#8211; it was a very laborious write down by listening and writing, because Vesti.ru has not published the full text.</p>
<p>The English translation here is, as usual, not good and we are sorry for this bad translation. It may also be that there is no version of the text from this video about the seven month of reporting from Syria due to the fact that it was no newscast. The paragraphs are (almost) all marked with time codes (mmss) and the duration; the offsets refer to the <a href="http://www.vesti.ru/videos?vid=475233" target="_blank">original film</a>. So please do consider it as data (rather than to consider it as a reading).</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Anastasia Popova:<br />
0202-0239 37s</p>
<p>It has now been some time, but it is still hard to process it and to understand all that we have seen. All this seems to be a totally unreal nightmare, a strange picture that in principle can`t be there in reality, such things can simply not be.</p>
<p>It was once a nice, good and peaceful country. And in the 7 months during our stay on site, this idyll was simply blown up. We have spoken to many people in different places, both with members of the army as well as with Syrian civilians. Now, I am not even able to say who of them is still alive. Or whether they are still alive tomorrow.</p>
<p>Our film is a view at the events in Syria through the eyes of those who have already been convicted.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Nabil, a resident of Homs<br />
0256</p>
<p>Everyone who came to Syria knew that it is very peaceful here, there were not „such and such“, no different kinds, and we all lived similar. Everybody had his faith, which was no problem. There are even Jews in Damascus, an entire Jewish district. Because of that, no one has harmed another one &#8211; quite the opposite.</p>
<p>Our nation is well-disposed to every other nation, because we make no differences according to the ethnicity. The main thing is that you&#8217;re just a man. However, we do not know such things as now; we have never experienced these things. This happens for the first time in Syria.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Iyad, cameraman of the army<br />
0344-0408 24s</p>
<p>We are surrounded by a clean, unspoiled nature: rivers, waterfalls, trees; this beauty is within the man himself. This is the love for life, the goodness. The Syrians love such a life; this was it, which has been associated with the word &#8220;freedom.&#8221;</p>
<p>But then came the crisis, and unfortunately, therewith also people who are using the word &#8220;freedom&#8221; and other familiar, nice words, which have a deeper sense for the nation, on the behest of the West in order to destroy the beauty in which we have lived.</p>

<p>In the morning, we started to kill the inhabitants, many of them. We went into the houses and fired on those who were still asleep. Then we brought them into a room and filmed them with mobile phones in order to blame it on the soldiers.</p>
<p>Until we then heard that the Army is moving in our direction. A part of ours has run away, while the others have fired on the soldiers.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m willing to bet that you are not able to find a single educated person among them. What do they want? Freedom? They have destroyed the whole city.</p>
<p>Just ask only one of them, what a kind of liberty! To stab and kill people &#8211; is this freedom for you?</p>

<p>Every day someone dies, every day, missiles strike here and there is shooting with who knows with what. There are many wounded, but even more deaths. We are afraid of allowing the children to go outside on the streets. They really want to go outside, as we as kids, but we forbid it. We fear that something is happening to them. We have also fears when they go to school; the rebels often bombard the schools.</p>
<p>We are afraid to go to the bazaar (market). I go nevertheless, and I am thinking: what if I am kidnapped? We really just want the simplest: to be able to rest quietly. Now, the gun or the machine gun is always with us. We barricaded the doors, we walk through the garden every half hour due to the fear that somebody has thrown anything in or that somebody has attached an explosive device there.</p>
<p>I sleep at night with horrible thoughts: what if we are attacked, are raped in front of my husband`s eyes and then get killed?</p>

<p>This explosion happened around 7 o&#8217;clock in the morning. The children were just on the road to go to the school. Their parents drove them. A school bus is completely burned out; toys lay around. Many children have died.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>0743-0755 12s</p>
<p>How can somebody fight for liberty and thereby kill children, especially so barbaric, cruel and in blind rage?</p>

<p>We will continue to care about this humanitarian issue, we support the Syrian opposition, and we are committed to the plan for a political transition in Syria.</p>

<p>0831-0850 19s from Aleppo</p>
<p>Both mosques and churches in Syria are still named with the same word: a &#8220;temple&#8221;, in which all have admittance, regardless of their religion. The soldier from our escort is Muslim; he touched the icons and prays together with the Christian woman &#8211; in his own way.</p>
<p>It does not matter where and how you do that. The main thing is that the peace will return to Syria.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>0853 Popova Live (Subtitles)</p>
<p>That must have been a violent banging. Here, they have tried to separate two parts of the city from each other: a Christian and a Muslim. The people did not want that, so they (FSA) blew up the houses and expelled them&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>0905-0909 4s Yara Saleh, a reporter for Al-Akhbariya (Al-Ekhbariya)</p>

<p>They do not know what faith is. They, however, say that they are Muslims. They have absolutely no idea what that means. They know nothing. They are not Muslims at all.</p>

<p>It has happened so often, that we catch one and he is sitting there with a machine gun in his hand. He shakes his head, is completely mentally incompetent and stammered: &#8220;I&#8217;ve done nothing.&#8221; We take his blood for an analysis and then, drugs are found. We often find powder or tablets in the bags.</p>
<p>Another time, one came out and he went on the middle of the road while he has been shooting at us. We take cover and fire back &#8211; and we hit. But he is still going further; he is completely insensitive to pain. Something like that happens after taking a drug which is called &#8220;Raserin&#8221; [they are usually, according to a recent report by ANNA-News, Captagon tablets (Fenethylline) - apxwn]. Anyone who is taking such drugs has no more an idea of what he is doing. He recognizes no one anymore, he is able to kill his brother, his father, and he completely loses the orientation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1132-1142 10s Iyad</p>
<p>They say that they are doing all this because of the faith. They say to kill an infidel and to slit his throat would be a great honour for them. They believe that they get closer to God when they are doing this. There are actually also those.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1147</p>
<p>They are killing peaceful people, and then they shout the &#8220;Allāhu Akbar&#8221;-Takbīr in order to soothe their conscience &#8211; if they have such a thing &#8211; and to show others that they are on the proper path.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1201 Yara</p>
<p>Those, who are fighting there, are thinking in the following way: when I die, I will arrive to paradise and I will have many virgins. Yes, I am not speaking about the leaders, but about the common men. They are completely clueless.</p>
<p>One of them told me: You&#8217;re yet a journalist, and you know more than I do. Tell me, what will happen when all this is over? I told him: Well, look. Let&#8217;s be realistic. The Americans have never loved us. Obama doesn&#8217;t love us. Israel doesn&#8217;t love us. They do not give a damn about the Syrian people. Just take a look what has happened to Afghanistan and Iraq.</p>
<p>He says: I know. And so I said again: Well. Why do you then take money from them? You do not think that they give you money so that you can fight for your freedom? He said: No, we do not take money from them. &#8211; Well, but who gives you the money then? &#8211; The sheik. &#8211; And from where does he get the money? – I don`t know. &#8211; Aha, you have not asked yourself about it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1247-1322 35s</p>
<p>Another time, I told him then: You can be sure every time when there is an agreement. &#8211; What does this word mean &#8211; &#8220;agreement&#8221;? &#8211; Seriously, I am able to swear to that! So I said to him then: Nothing, sorry, just forget about it. Who can explain something to such a person? He does not know anything. And he is not the only one.</p>
<p>Another told me: I have been in all prisons in Syria because of drugs, theft, and such things.  &#8211; Well, what are you doing now? &#8211; I think God has forgiven me. &#8211; But you have not asked him, to forgive you? You think he has already forgiven you everything? Why? Who has told you that? – The sheik. He said that God had forgiven me, but now I have to fight with them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1331-1344 13s Bandit</p>
<p>I have killed three friends; I&#8217;ve cut the throats of all. I was told me that they were be traitors, that they would support the government. Then we have placed explosives in the houses, where we had previously killed people, and ignited it. It should look as if the Syrian army has carried out some artillery attacks there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1348-1445 58s N&#8230;</p>
<p>They are bandits. There are not even human. They have a completely different perspective on the life, on the faith. They are no ordinary people. Nobody knows what they are really thinking or what they want. They want freedom? What kind of freedom? Killing people, what kind of freedom is that? The slaughter of humans as if they are chickens or cattle.</p>
<p>How can you do such a thing, what&#8217;s this for a faith that allows to stab people and then to dance for joy? I am now 50 years old and I have been to many places and I have seen a lot, but what has now befallen over us here &#8211; I´ve never seen this or even heard of it. Nobody knows from where these people come.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1509-1513 4s Obama</p>
<p>The Syrian government must stop shooting at demonstrators, and they must allow peaceful demonstrations.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1529-1613 44s Mikhail Witkin</p>
<p>We have filmed a lot of corpses, both on the streets and in the hospitals, and in one hospital, a pathologist has told us that all those who were in the captivity of the rebel fighters, were maltreated without exception. Children, adults, and even the elderly.</p>
<p>The violence is exorbitantly. The people have even started to acquire hand grenades &#8211; that&#8217;s not an isolated case, we have heard from many &#8211; they obtain hand grenades for the case that they are able to blow up themselves if they are stopped by the &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221;. Nobody wants to fall into the hands of this scum &#8211; they rather put an end to their lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1620-1704 44s Yara</p>
<p>They receive their instructions from abroad. I am able to explain it why I know this. When they have kidnapped our film crew in the Syrian city of Al-Tal, they reported it to the &#8220;Syrian National Council&#8221;. It calls itself only &#8220;Syrian&#8221;, but was first in Turkey, then in Qatar. They were given the instruction to record two video messages.</p>
<p>One video message in which all three of us are visible and another video message with their commander. They have previously sent all the conditions of the release, every single sentence, which we were forced to say over satellites to other countries, and they received back a corrected version of the text.</p>
<p>I wrote the text from the phone to paper because scarcely anybody of them was able to write. Well, it was a message from a foreign number, more than 10 digits, and a few points. Qatar and Saudi Arabia were involved in negotiations with the Syrian government. Well, if you even get your instructions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar, who are you then &#8211; perhaps Syrians? I do not think so.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1707-1722 15s N.</p>
<p>Yes, there are also Syrians who are, let`s say, weak. You can lure such people with money. But the majority of these people are not from Syria.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1738-1746 8s Yara</p>
<p>Yes, that&#8217;s the first question: where are you from, what`s your faith? For example, our cameraman is a Christian but they forced him to pray like a Muslim.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1749 Yara</p>
<p>They gave me a scarf and told me: cover your head. I asked them: when you are really fighting for freedom, why don`t you then respect my freedom and why do you not allow me to dress me like I want to? They said: no, you cannot be without a hijab. &#8211;  They even wanted to kill us for what we have said.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1809-1821 12s N.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t do it for our people. On the contrary, they kill us and our children, they are destroying our lives. This is such a policy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1824-1829 5s Davutoglu</p>
<p>We are all interested in an advancement of the situation in Syria. We may have partially different views, but our goals are similar.</p>

<p>Once we have filmed at night, we even had a thermal vision camera with us, and we went to the frontline with the camera.</p>

<p>Well, the cleansing operation drifts into its active phase, you are able to hear it, what a shooting is in progress. The military personnel are moving from house to house, first, they carefully check every step to make no mistake. Turn it off!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1900</p>
<p>We move almost entirely groping forward through the destroyed houses and take a strategic position in a high house, from where one is able to see the entire city.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1908 Mikhail Witkin</p>
<p>After some time, a bullet flew past my head, just a few inches away.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Witkin 1914 live (subtitles)</p>
<p>This is sniper fire. That&#8217;s the worst. I just had luck that it hasn&#8217;t hit me now. Only 5 inches lower, then we would no longer talk.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1924 Popova</p>
<p>We are currently not able to get ahead further. We stay in the high house and wait until the shooting is over. At dawn, it continues; the designated target, a house filled with rebel fighters, is one kilometre away from us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1945-2006 21s Witkin</p>
<p>The first feeling is such a cold which crawls down your back. I jumped from the ladder, came down, and behind me was the colonel, who accompanied us there. I think he was even more scared than me and talked to me whether I was hit and if everything was ok and so on. We then found out, two days later, that this colonel was killed by a sniper.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2015 Yara</p>
<p>First, they have tied our hands, then we were beaten with thongs every day, we were kicked. They also tried to rape me; yes, this also happens. Then they killed the camera man because they have found pictures with the Syrian flag and pictures of soldiers on his mobile phone.</p>
<p>The sheikh had decided that we all deserve it to die, but the camera assistant was the first. They took him out of the room along with our driver Hussam &#8211; Hussam got a blindfold. He heard gunshots, and then they took off the blindfold and said to him: look at this; you will be punished the same way if you lie. You have to provide us with information that we do not have yet. They shot 60 bullets at him, two magazines with 30 rounds.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2053-2122 29s Iyad</p>
<p>It does not matter where these rebel fighters appear; the first thing that they are doing after they have penetrated into a territory are the public executions of civilians. Thereby, it doesn&#8217;t matter who these people are and to which religion they belong.</p>
<p>They are killed and it is filmed with mobile phones in order to upload it to the internet, so that anyone is able to see it. This also happened in the district of Sirian in the Syrian city of Aleppo: two pedestrians were caught and then stabbed on the street in front of the eyes of all other people. The rest of the inhabitants are so gripped by a sense of fear.</p>
<p>They see how someone&#8217;s throat is being cut and they imagine that they could be in the place of these unfortunates. So the civilians flee from those areas, they leave their homes, at least those who have a place to which they are able to go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2134-2213 39s Yara</p>
<p>You say, however, that the Syrian press lies a lot, right? Well, let&#8217;s suppose that we lie. You know, that we lie, and the whole world knows it, too. Then let us lie &#8211; but why do they kidnap and murder journalists, why are offices of our channel raided and why do bombs detonate in the building of the Syrian television? What for? If we really lie and if really no one believes us, as they say it at Al-Jazeera, Al-Arabiya and Ariyen TV; why do they then have fears of us in this way?</p>
<p>Just let us continue to lie if it is so. But that&#8217;s just not true. The rebel gangs are committing many atrocities &#8211; we show this and report about it. That`s why they hate us, and so they want to kill and destroy us. All journalists, who are working on the government side, are targets.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2237-2244 7s Yara</p>
<p>If you are moving with the army, you are the first and most important goal of the rebels. Who has an ugly face, does not like it to hear the truth about them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2246 Al Thani</p>
<p>Given this, I think it would be better for the Arab countries themselves, out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duty, to intervene and do whatever is necessary&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2258 Witkin</p>
<p>On the day when we started, already 35 people among those we knew have died. According to unofficial data, more than 9,000 military personnel have been killed already now. And I am especially not speaking about the civilian population, how many of them were perished by the hands of these so-called &#8220;Free Army&#8221;, by these freedom fighters&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2315-2257 42s Grand Mufti</p>
<p>The provocateurs only want one thing: to divide Syria along sectarian features in order to create a number of individual states on this basis. There is no consensus in the ranks of the opposition. Some want to establish a secular state; the others want a self-contained theocracy. Still others simply take up weapons in their hands and destroy the country. They are all the time arguing among themselves and with each other, as well as with the Syrian people and Government.</p>
<p>This opposition acts at the behest of foreign countries, it is controlled from outside. This opposition has no political ambitions; their job is it to create chaos and confusion. I have invited everyone to the negotiating table, even those, who are living abroad. They have declined the invitation.</p>
<p>Their goal is just to seize power. They always talk about it that the President has to go, only then, negotiations would take place. The only question is: with whom do they want to negotiate then?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2410-2428 18s N.</p>
<p>Where I have been underway with you the one and the other time &#8211; these neighbourhoods are already dead. In the areas where the rebels establish themselves, the life comes to a standstill. They destroy everything there; they expel the people from their homes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2432-2456 14s N.</p>
<p>They steal everything what they do find in these homes, they destroy everything and then make such movies in order to blame it on the Syrian army; they want to make the entire world believe that the Syrian army would progress like this. Everything evil which is visible &#8211; the Syrian army would have been responsible for this, and all the good, that would come from those who want the freedom. They also try to spread that the Syrian people would be on their side &#8211; but this is also not true.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2513-2533 20s Iyad</p>
<p>Are you able to remember what has happened to the mighty ancient city of Troy? It&#8217;s the same with us. <b>The word &#8220;freedom&#8221; is a Trojan horse, too. </b>It has destroyed the freedom and the carefree life, just like Troy has been destroyed. But nature gives us strength, I know that the &#8220;Good&#8221; will win and I am sure: no matter what happens, we will love each other and live together in peace, because we are part of this sacred land, which is Syria. We are living for this country&#8217;s sake.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2600-2646 46s Hanni Asishaid, mother of a dead soldier</p>
<p>I have not seen my son for more than 2 months. He called and said he wants to come home in the next morning, but the mother&#8217;s heart felt a looming disaster. He did not arrive, and then I called him, but there was no answer. Then I learnt what has happened. His unit defended the main mosque of Aleppo, they were surrounded by rebel gangs, and snipers have opened the fire.</p>
<p>Then they tried to blow up the gate of the mosque, ultimately they broke through the wall and they entered the mosque from the other side. We are actually Christians, but my boy has said that he will defend the mosque because this temple is a sacred place. He has even fought barefoot inside, due to the respect for the traditions, quite irrespective of the broken glass and the fragments of the plaster.</p>
<p>He was grazed by two bullets, and also his friend was wounded in the leg. He carried him out to the ambulance on his hands, but he did not wanted to get treated himself, he said that he will not abandon his comrades. As he returned, he was hit by further bullets. He was shot on the steps of the mosque.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2647-2706 19s Estel Asishaid, sister of the slain soldiers</p>
<p>I have told him that I am praying for him. But he has corrected me and said: pray first for Syria, and then for me. Syria was always the most important thing for him, more than anything else. I have not seen him for a long time, so called him often and said, please come home, I miss you and I want to see you soon. But now I was not able to see him again.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2724 Lebedev</p>
<p>On one of the days we were underway together with a unit of soldiers, not on the streets, but through the courtyards, houses, through kitchens and so on&#8230;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2732-2757 25s Popova</p>
<p>&#8230;and in one of the houses we met an old man, who already was very frail. He only lived there because of the army, and only had contact with the soldiers. He had no relatives anymore, and the soldiers always brought him food and water, they took care of him. And at every soldier, whom he saw with his eyes &#8211; he was blind in one eye &#8211; he jumped up, and he actually said to any of the soldiers, even if there were ten or more: welcome, welcome.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2804-2820 16s Witkin</p>
<p>This old man was then found dead. These animals have fired 17 bullets at him. They wrote on the wall: You are executed for your &#8220;long tongue&#8221;. In this way they have challenged all Christians who are living in Syria.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2829-2833 4s N.</p>
<p>Maybe they&#8217;ve seen him afterwards on TV? Therefore, they will have killed him.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2842 Nadia, Wife of Bessam</p>
<p>I have just one question to the gunmen: If there is a God who has created the world and all people, and if according to the scriptures all people are equal in their dignity and do not differ in their dignity, why do you kill us? Why do you say that you are killing for freedom and Allah? What have I done, for example, that you seek my life every day? Why do you kill peaceful people? Why do you kill the soldiers, for what?</p>
<p>For them, a murder is like a joke; it is worse for them to behead a ram &#8211; than to behead a normal guy. They have no feelings, no heart, and no dignity. They only think of themselves, they think they need to kill more people, so that the others have to deal with the fear, so that we fear them. We are tired of death, we are tired of killing, we are tired of all this.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2928-2350 22s Bandit</p>
<p>We have built up our position on the road to Hama and then stopped a car. An Alawi (Alawite) family sat in the car. We have arrested the father; his six year old daughter was raped. Then the coordinator called me, he appointed a meeting point, there he gave me a machine gun that came from Turkey; and he sent me to blow up a building of the military counterintelligence.</p>
<p>Back then, I&#8217;ve shot 7 soldiers. I took an axe and started to chop up one of them. I wanted to see if he has blood in him.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2952-3059 67s Witkin</p>
<p>How can somebody call this people ever as &#8220;peaceful opposition&#8221;? Or as freedom fighter? This is absolutely nonsense. I think, every person who thinks like this, should just travel to Syria and see it for himself, that there, where the army has the control, it is quiet. The army protects its people. I have the impression that on the other side, only completely demented idiots are fighting, people to whom nothing is sacred, really nothing.</p>
<p>Such people do not only betray their home, but also easily their families, mother and father. Just look at the pictures, would you want those democrats to govern your country? That they run around on your streets and play with your children? Just take a look in the faces of these people, or are they more like monsters? To whom do they resemble rather after all the crimes which they have done? I do not know if you would like to have those kinds of liberators in your own city, which fight for your security, your freedom and democracy in such a way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3108-3206 58s Bessam Abu Haidar</p>
<p>I got a call from an unfamiliar number; somebody asked if I am the brother of Ramez. I should pick up &#8220;my dog​“; they would have killed him in the district of Wadi Shah. When I saw my father and my brother in such a state, I was not able to believe it. There were dozens of deaths, and the rebels fired on the corpses, so that we could not recover the bodies.</p>
<p>One of the residents, who were brought to a safe place by the army, told then: the rebels have positioned the local residents in front of a wall and they set about to shoot them. But then a car came; that were my brother and my father.</p>
<p>They wanted to put a stop to the bandits. They were wounded, and then pulled out of the car, and they have thrown them on the tarmac. They drove with the wheel of the car several times over their heads as they were still alive. I am still unable to believe it. They lived still. Especially, since they initial have killed the son in front of his father`s eyes and then they killed the father.</p>
<p>One of those, who were also killed there, was a pregnant woman. They have sliced up her stomach, pulled out the unborn child and kicked it through the area (Notice: like a football). You cannot imagine that. Nobody is able to imagine that. That is inconceivable.</p>
<p>They rape women, kill small children &#8211; why? To have such things already just in the mind is completely unimaginable for me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3213-3242 29s Nadja</p>
<p>You became acquainted with Bessam. He is a very good-natured man, regardless even of the whole suffering that is happening at this time. He is fond of children, he loves our four girls. He likes to play with them, he deals a lot with them, but currently he is rarely at home, the children do miss him much.</p>
<p>He walks out of the house very early and comes back very late at night. We are very concerned. The rebels seek his life; they have even published a photo of him on a website. They show it on their channels and they have put a bounty on him. I call him often, but he doesn&#8217;t answer the phone &#8211; he has a lot to do.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3251-3321 30s</p>
<p>Then he calls back and calms me down. He says that he does not come for lunch, he remains with his comrades. He is afraid that something happens to them and he is not there so that he would be able to help. He loves his country and is willing to sacrifice his life for his country. Syria is more important to him than his wife, the parents or the children. I understand and support him. I&#8217;m willing to take that all on me [32:10f].</p>
<p>We are now ready for anything: we are ready to lose the fathers, sons and husbands; we are also willing to even join the army to regain the peace again, in which all have been living in Syria before.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3324-3337 14s</p>
<p>When I go into the fight, I look death in the eye, but I do not fear it, because it is a great honour for me to sacrifice myself for my country. So, as my brother and my father did. The most important thing is to restore the peace in which we have previously lived.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3339-3402 23s Iyad</p>
<p>My dream? I want to see Syria as it has been before, back then we have lived in silence and peace. I want that Syria persists in this world war. Sometimes you have to walk on a very difficult and arduous path if you want to climb a mountain.</p>
<p>We have to sacrifice a lot of things: relatives and friends in order to save Syria, to finally stand on the Mount Olympus, from which one is no longer able to see the other peaks. This is a big dream &#8211; to once again live in peace as it was back then, and that it will always remain this way.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3410-3512 62s Yara</p>
<p>We have visited 6 different locations in six days and have nowhere seen people. They have told me directly that there is no longer a single woman or anyone in the city, only those bandits. One night, we were taken to another city.</p>
<p>Then suddenly, a stun grenade detonated, the Army took the bandits under fire. I fell to the ground and waited until the shooting was over. The soldiers then shouted: Yara, we know that you are here, we hope you&#8217;re okay.</p>
<p>I was only able to say: My God, I thought I&#8217;d never see my mother again, it was like a joyful outcry: I am finally free! I got up and ran towards them. When I saw our soldiers and our flag: you know, such a beautiful red, white and black and two green stars, I only thought: oh god, I&#8217;m finally free.</p>
<p>I was no more able to walk. An officer carried me then; I was crying and he said: don`t worry, Abdallah is already with us. I jumped up, and just a half minute later, I already embraced my cameraman and said that Hussam, the driver is still in the hands of the &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221;. It pains me to say this, because they are neither free nor Syrian, nor an army. The officer said: no matter what it costs me, I&#8217;ll get him out of there. And he really did it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3545-3618 33s N.</p>
<p>The army is like our family. This army and the people live together like a family. Like brothers, like fathers and sons. We believe that our army is also our folk. They just work in the army. Others work elsewhere, but we are a family. So we have lived, we shall live this way, and &#8211; may God grant it &#8211; so we will continue to live!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3626 Popova Live (Subtitles)</p>
<p>Remarkably: when a helicopter arrives, the people start to walk with flags on the roofs and greet the helicopter&#8230;</p>
<p>3647-3742 55s Iyad</p>
<p>If one looks at the soldiers in the battle, you may think: they are so callous and tough, they are focused and serious and at any moment ready to sacrifice themselves in order to put a stop to these rebel gangs. Everyone is willing to stand before his comrades. They are determined and courageous, although many of them are very young.</p>
<p>Even many wounded ask that they are not being sent home, they want to return to their unit. If the operation is over, you are unable to recognize them again: the same brave soldiers, still warm from the fight, but they joke like little children, they are joking with each other, sit around and drink tea or Mate. This is our favourite tradition. The youngest is sent to fetch water, another has to fetch sugar, and somebody else has to fetch the tea kettle.</p>
<p>They laugh and joke, as if nothing happened. I see them and I hardly believe that they are the same soldiers who have just fought so bravely. And every night, they say goodbye to each other as if it would be forever. Who knows, maybe they are no more able to meet again in the next morning? They live only for a day, between life and death; no one knows when he will die. Therefore, they always say goodbye, as if it would be the last time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3838-3909 31s Bessam</p>
<p>Amir was my friend; we were together from the first day of the war. We have fought together, worked together and we also have spent time together. He has three children. He was a very brave and strong fighter, he was not afraid to take part in any operation, thereby, he was very good natured and calm, and he was joking frequently and helped the refugees.</p>
<p>We were sent on a mission to Aleppo. On the way, he felt that he could die there, and said: I beg you, please take care of my wife and children. I feel the smell of death. I told him: stop the nonsense, but he began to sing such sad songs and said: I sacrifice myself and I will not come back to Homs. Two days later, he was kidnapped.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3911-3956 45s Popova</p>
<p>The last time, we saw each other in Damascus. He called and said that he was in the area and he wanted to meet us. We met and I have barely recognized him: he was always so good-natured and funny, he was always joking. And here, he was bleak as some heavy clouds; it was like a negative energy which is coming out of him.</p>
<p>Back then, I yet thought: who knows, maybe he forebodes something bad. However, I have rapidly displaced this thought. Two days later we were informed that he had been kidnapped and that they demand money for him. We thought about what we do and how we can help, we wanted to at least do anything for him. Back then, an officer escorted us, and he said: if they get hold of military personnel, he will never get out alive.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4006-4032 26s Zeynab, the wife of Amir</p>
<p>I tried to call him; he did not answer the phone. Then I called Bessam who said that Amir went away to buy something. I dialled his number again, a strange voice answered and said that he is from the &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221;, your husband is with us, and we have kidnapped him. Either you give us a million lira, or we kill him. Then they turned off the phone. I called my uncle and told him that they had captured Amir, and later there were other calls. They made fun of me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4113-4153 40s Bessam</p>
<p>We have tried to reach an agreement with them about the ransom, we tried to get money, but they did not answer the phone anymore. We spoke on the phone several times before, talked several times about the money. Then they turned off the phone. They called the next day and said that they had left Amir in a suburb of Aleppo and that we can come and get him. We found him with a separated head.</p>
<p>Another three soldiers were lying beside him. They tortured and abused him, and then they murdered him &#8211; not with a knife, but they have laid him alive on a saw bench and then they have sawed off his head. For me, it is a really great loss, but why had they to kill him so brutish? They&#8217;re like animals, or better, not even animals act in such a way, so perfectly bestial. They always do it like this, before they kill someone, they cut off his limbs, slowly and carefully, and then, ultimately the head. I have no words on how someone can really do something like this.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4210-4231 21s Zeynab</p>
<p>He was a very good man. He loved God. He was so good that he gave all to the people, even if he needed it for himself. He loved the people, he helped everybody, and he loved me, our three children and our parents. May God never forget that they have murdered my husband. May their loved ones be taken away so that they feel what I&#8217;ve been through.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4239-4246 7s Zeynab</p>
<p>The &#8220;Free Army&#8221; has destroyed our peaceful and beautiful life. God will not help them and he will punish them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4253-4258 5s Clinton</p>
<p>The transition to democracy in Syria has begun, and Assad must go away from the way of this process.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Units of the Syrian Arab Army have eliminated several foreign-backed groups of extremists and religious fanatics near the Syrian capital Damascus.</p>
<p>According to some sources like Suria TV and contacts in the capital of Syria, these foreign-backed terrorist groups were liquidated by the Syrian Arab Army in the region between the two Syrian towns of Yabrud and Nabak.</p>
<p>Both Syrian towns are located about 55 kilometres away from Damascus and it is still the situation that some armed wings of the Islamist “Free Syrian Army” (FSA) are still active in the southern outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus.</p>
<p><span id="more-1229"></span><br />
Although the Syrian Arab Army has already carried out a lot of operations against these armed groups of religious radicals, terrorists and mercenaries, which are mainly not Syrian but citizens from other Arab countries, there are still more and more which penetrate into Syria in order to fight against the Syrian army and the government in Damascus &#8211; due to the constant support of Gulf States like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and other Arab countries as well as some European countries and the US administration.</p>
<p>In addition, the cover by the NATO media of the crimes against humanity, which are carried out by these foreign-backed terrorists, helps a lot to maintain the propaganda that these armed groups only defend themselves against the attacks of the Syrian army and would fight for democracy, freedom and peace; although everybody who cares about situation in Syria should already know that there is no good side in this conflict anymore.</p>
<p>Both sides, if one is really able to speak about two sides although it is obvious that one should rather speak about more sides in this conflict, have committed crimes while the Syrian people suffer more and more from week to week.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the hypocritical sanctions of the West against Syria only harm the population as usual. That these sanctions would (only) harm the Syrian elite / leadership is a typical fairy tale of Western politicians.</p>
<p>Of course, these Western politicians and governments do know that these sanctions harm the Syrian people first but they just do not care because these sanctions and the decreasing living standard which go hand in hand with the sanctions and the upgrade of these terrorists with weapons and ammunition by the West (which means on-going violence, terrorism and massacres against civilians and minorities) should trigger the turning away of (more and more) Syrian people from their President Bashar al-Assad and the government in Damascus.</p>
<p>At least, after all the time, it seems that this plan of the West has partly failed because a huge part of the Syrian people still oppose this &#8220;regime change&#8221; by force and some even have increased their level of support of the Syrian government and their rejection of the Western-backed terrorist groups like the &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221; (FSA). Although the known &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Option" target="_blank">Salvador option</a>&#8221; is working as this horrible plan is often (or even always) working, not all of the Syrian people have fallen into this sectarian trap and then started to lose their Syrian values.</p>
<p>This &#8220;Salvador option&#8221; always bares the dangers of a too religious society of different sects and this is a weak point in all Arab states (and some other areas on this planet). In addition, it is very obvious that this so-called &#8220;<a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-salvador-option-for-syria-us-nato-sponsored-death-squads-integrate-opposition-forces/31096" target="_blank">Salvador option</a>&#8221; is a good way to destabilize a state and to decrease the level of support between the different sects and minorities within this state.</p>
<p>Of course, it also increases the clashes between these groups. Thus, religion is a weak point since centuries and if an administration such as the government of the United States does not care about the civilians of another state and starts to use this &#8220;<a href="http://www.syrianews.cc/syria-terror-operation-massacre-jeffrey-feltman/" title="Syria: The terror operation of Jeffrey Feltman" target="_blank">Salvador option</a>&#8221; in order to achieve their questionable geo-political and economic goals, it seems legitimated to say that this has always worked and will always work as long as this foreign state has a lot of different religious minorities / sects on its soil.</p>
<p>The &#8220;<a href="http://www.syrianews.cc/syria-cia-helps-with-the-genocide/" title="Syria: CIA helps with the Genocide" target="_blank">Salvador option</a>&#8221; is a horrible method to achieve the destabilization of another country due to the fact that it also triggers a high level of violence between the different religious minorities and that these &#8220;sectarian conflicts&#8221; will stay for a very long time.</p>
<p>Richard Dawkins is truly correct with statements such as &#8220;At least the fundamentalists haven&#8217;t tried to dilute their message.</p>
<p>Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see&#8221; or &#8220;Bush and bin Laden are really on the same side: the side of faith and violence against the side of reason and discussion. Both have implacable faith that they are right and the other is evil. Each believes that when he dies he is going to heaven. Each believes that if he could kill the other, his path to paradise in the next world would be even swifter. The delusional &#8220;next world&#8221; is welcome to both of them. This world would be a much better place without either of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Not to mention the statements of others like Albert Einstein or Mark Twain who once said &#8220;Man is a Religious Animal. Man is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion &#8212; several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbour as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn&#8217;t straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother&#8217;s path to happiness and heaven&#8230;. The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.&#8221;</p>
<p>The conclusion is easy and obvious &#8211; religious people can be easily misused in order to achieve specific aims. The levels of religiosity and the levels of being such an easy target to be misused could even be conformable lines. Of course, other values such as prosperity / poverty / education (…) affect these levels.</p>
<p>Now back to the Syrian conflict. The so-called external Syrian opposition &#8211; a staged bunch of Syrian exiles, Islamists, careerists and propagandists who are not united in their aims, goals and intentions – rejects the invitation to so-called peace talks in the Russian capital Moscow. As usual, this questionable Syrian opposition is not interested in real peace talks which could lead to a political solution for the crisis and conflict in Syria. They have always rejected such negotiations and talks.</p>
<p>This external “Syrian opposition” is still the staged political arm of the Western- and Gulf-backed terrorists in Syria and it seems obvious that real peace talks will not lead to the dubious aims of these militant fighters. Thus, that they reject the invitation to peace talks in Russia is understandable but condemnable.</p>
<p>That the Western NATO media only condemns one side of this conflict, the Syrian government, is a normal method in this propaganda war against Syria and only confirms that the Western mainstream media is not objective.</p>
<p>Russia has sent this invitation to the so-called president of the questionable “National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces”, Moaz al-Khatib, on Friday. Of course, Moaz al-Khatib has rejected to take part in these peace talks in Russia. Instead, Moaz al-Khatib said that he wants an apology of the Russian government for its support of the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and the government in Damascus.</p>
<p>Such impertinence is then still backed by certain Western states and their violent regional allies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Turkish government under the head of the Ottoman madman Erdogan.</p>
<p>Of course, the further statements by Moaz al-Khatib only confirm that he is just another clown for the staged show of a so-called democratic opposition which is anything but really democratic. Instead, it is a bunch of religious fanatics, careerists and vindictive expatriate circles which receive their orders by Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>He was so bold that he has even explicitly demanded an excuse by the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov because the Russian FM Lavrov has “all the time said that the Syrian people will decide their destiny without foreign intervention”. What a hypocritical statement and demand by Moaz al-Khatib. Not to mention that it shows the true colours of this staged opposition council outside Syria, which has even not the support by the majority of the Syrian people.</p>
<p>Moaz al-Khatib suggested in a statement at the Qatari propaganda station Al-Jazeera that he and Mr Sergej Lavrov could meet in an Arab country (he sure means Saudi Arabia or Qatar probably…) if there would be a clear agenda” – This is again a brazenness.</p>
<p>The members of the several staged opposition council never were able to deliver a real again. Instead, a lot of them have constantly demanded a military intervention in Syria although this would trigger much more dead and also increase the already bad situation of many Syrians in Syria.</p>
<p>The Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again said shortly before Christmas that any decision about ending the conflict and crisis in Syria should be made by the Syrians themselves and he demanded that all different parties should be included in this process. Of course, the Russian President Vladimir Putin knows about the real stances and powers behind all sides in this conflict and he also represents a side – the Russian interests.</p>
<p>Vladimir Putin has also called for the establishment of a so-called “democratic order” that will “reflect the will of the Syrian people” although some would say that one should not throw bricks when he lives in a glass house due to the fact that Russia and a “democratic order” it itself not really congruent.</p>
<p>At least, the Russian President Putin has also once again underlined the need for a political process in order to reach a peaceful situation in Syria. Putin further said that Russia is not interested in a chaotic situation in Syria.</p>
<p>These peace talks are small glimmers of hope although it is very questionable whether these peace talks about Syria are really the way to solve the conflict in this Arab country.</p>
<p>Although peace talks about Syria sound good and desirable, it would be an important first step for peace if the Western governments and their allies, the totalitarian dictatorships of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, would just stop the delivery of arms and ammunition to the Islamist &#8220;Free Syrian Army&#8221; (FSA) in Syria.</p>
<p>So-called democratic governments in the West should not support the supply of weapons to Islamists and militants because this is just not democratic. It`s simple like that. Not to mention that the currently supported militants and fanatics in Syria are tomorrow&#8217;s enemies of the West.</p>
