How the Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Creates Genetically Modified Humans

Posted on by

2nd Smartest Guy in the World

The genetic sequence found in Pfizer’s Modified mRNA slow kill bioweapon “vaccine” integrates into the human genome, and now all future “vaccinated” generations are genetically modified, as well as their offspring.

These Pfizer genetic sequences will be passed on forever in not just the “vaccinated,” but, also, in the offspring of unvaccinated individuals procreating with those that have been genetically modified.

And now, for the first time ever, it has been irrefutably proven that DNA contamination from these “vaccines” is not some accidental “contamination” or benign artifact, but, rather, a ticking time bomb that will permanently alter the genetic fabric of humanity.

We have evidence that the SV40 promotor sequences that were deliberately added to Pfizer’s deadly “vaccine” are aggressively replicating inside the very tumors that they are causing, thus accelerating the metastization of VAIDS-induced turbo cancers; to wit:

The evidence for this recent horrific development:

The video clip of Kevin McKernan providing absolutely indisputable proof that most of humanity has already been genetically modified, and are now walking VAIDS spike protein factories that will continue to drive the rapidly worsening turbo cancer epidemic.

The video transcript:

So here is the shocker, is that we recently were given cancer biopsies to look at this, because our thinking— if you look through the previous literature on this — if you look in all the wrong tissues you won’t find this.

You have to think about where are you most likely to find such events, and in my opinion that’s probably in a tumor, because tumors tend to grow aggressively. And if it happens to be an immunogenisis event it will overwhelm the tissue in terms of copy number, so you’re more likely to find this in tumors; let’s go looking under the lamp post here.

So we got a colon biopsy from a group in Germany that we’ve been working with, and we were quite shocked by the results. This is a person vaccinated four times by Pfizer. One year since vaccination: tumors emerge. Person dead within a month.

We got three biopsies out of them. One postmortem. All of them have SV40 in the origin of replication from the Pfizer vaccine. We performed some sequencing which we’re going deeper on right now, but even at preliminary sequencing shows this is in fact Pfizer’s vaccine. There are sequences in there from spike and other places.

Now, what is shocking in this work is we were never expecting to find the DNA at the copy number greater than the human genome; like if you get an insertional mutagenesis event and that is a driver mutation, that means that tumor is taking off — the insertional mutation should be at the same copy number as another human gene.

What we were expecting to find was that maybe 10 or 20% of the tumor was actually mutated; therefore, it would come out later on PCR that our human gene— we’re seeing the opposite here: this has expanded inside the patient, and that if we— we’re getting signals inside the PCR that are so hot that it looks like we actually have amplified the vaccine directly from the vial, and that’s impossible.

That means after you inject someone with 300 microliters — this person got 4 (Pfizer doses), so 1.2mL’s — you should have a 64,000 fold dilution into their body. So we should see 6CT shift, and where this PCR signal comes out from dilution alone. We don’t see that. We see something where it’s coming in at the same concentration as the original vial, or higher.

That tells us the DNA is replicating.

That tells us the mammalian origin of replication that is in Pfizer’s vaccine is active in human tumors.

So, this filed up. It’s not peer-reviewed. We doing deeper sequencing now, but this may explain shedding…

It is important to appreciate that while shedding may sicken an unvaccinated person with the spike proteins (SP2), it will, unlike the source of the shedding, in no way genetically alter their DNA. So while an unvaccinated person being shed upon is certainly not a particularly optimal situation, they still remain ‘“pure-blooded.”

The implications are staggering:

  • Turbo Cancer Epidemic: Aggressive cancers are appearing in vaccinated individuals at an alarming rate, fueled by the DNA integration and the spike protein’s suppression of tumor-suppressor pathways.
  • Generational Impact: Once integrated into the genome, this DNA is heritable, meaning the genetic modifications will persist in offspring.
  • Immune System Degradation: Alongside the cancer risks, we are seeing immune suppression, lymphocytopenia, and a cascade of immunological dysfunctions that leave individuals vulnerable to diseases they could once fend off.

The bad news:

Anyone who received even a single dose of Pfizer’s C19 “vaccine” is irreparably genetically harmed, as are their progeny.

The good news:

While the Pfizer genetic mutations can never be reversed, the associated lifelong VAIDS symptoms may be effectively managed and kept at bay with a synergistic treatment approach that to readers of this Substack is well known.

The solution:

In the face of this unprecedented global eugenics bioterrorism escalation, Ivermectin and Fenbendazole emerge as lifesaving interventions. Their mechanisms are proven, affordable, and safe.

Black Flag Over Damascus

Posted on by

Mike Whitney

 

The black flag of Salafist Islam has been raised over Damascus. ISIS/Al Qaeda has won…. The same terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. Whom we waged war against in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Losing thousands of our servicemen and women. Costing trillions of dollars. They won. And we helped them. America stands for nothing. … Scott Ritter@RealScottRitter

General Mike Flynn, the former head of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), warned his colleagues in the Obama administration, that supporting terrorist groups to prosecute proxy wars on Washington’s behalf, was a risky business that would eventually backfire leading to the establishment of ‘a Salafist principality in Syria.’ That warning has now become a reality.

Of the 50-or-so mainstream articles on the fall of the Syrian government, not one bothered to mention the fact that the Sunni militia that toppled Bashar al-Assad is currently on the US State Department’s list of terrorist organizations. Nor did they mention that the same jihadist group is on the United Nations list of terrorist organizations. Nor did they mention that the leader of the group—Abu Mohammad al-Jolani—has a $10 million bounty on his head offered by the US government. None of this information was reported to the public because the media does not want the American people to know that Washington just helped install a terrorist regime at the center of the Middle East. But that’s what’s really going on.

And it’s even worse than it looks because, ultimately, the 13-year-old Syrian campaign is not really aimed at Syria, but Iran. Syria is just the last obstacle on the path to Tehran, but Tehran is the icing on the cake. Crush Iran and Israel takes the ‘top spot’ in the Middle East; it becomes the regional hegemon overnight. Meanwhile—Uncle Sam gains access to the pipeline corridors it has sought for over 2 decades, corridors that will transport natural gas from Qatar to the Mediterranean and then onward to markets in Europe. The gas will be provided by a US puppet, extracted by western oil companies, sold in US Dollars, and used to maintain a stranglehold on European politics. At the same time, all other competitors will be either sanctioned, sabotaged or excluded entirely. (Nordstream)

Most people are unaware of how pipeline politics have shaped events in Syria making the country a target for US aggression. But from 1949 until today, US intelligence services have tried repeatedly to topple the leader of the Syrian government in order to oversee and control a Trans-Arabian Pipeline “intended to connect the oil fields of Saudi Arabia to the ports of Lebanon via Syria.” Robert F Kennedy summed it up in a brilliant article he wrote more than a decade ago:

The CIA began its active meddling in Syria in 1949—barely a year after the agency’s creation. Syrian patriots had declared war on the Nazis, expelled their Vichy French colonial rulers and crafted a fragile secularist democracy based on the American model. But in March 1949, Syria’s democratically elected president, Shukri-al-Quwatli, hesitated to approve the Trans-Arabian Pipeline, an American project intended to connect the oil fields of Saudi Arabia to the ports of Lebanon via Syria. In his book, Legacy of Ashes, CIA historian Tim Weiner recounts that i n retaliation for Al-Quwatli’s lack of enthusiasm for the U.S. pipeline, the CIA engineered a coup replacing al-Quwatli with the CIA’s handpicked dictator, a convicted swindler named Husni al-Za’im. Al-Za’im barely had time to dissolve parliament and approve the American pipeline before his countrymen deposed him, four and a half months into his regime. Why the Arabs Don’t Want Us in Syria, Robert Kennedy, Politico

Washington’s long history of covert action against Syria is well documented in Kennedy’s piece which also pinpoints the precise moment when the US decided it would do ‘whatever it takes’ to topple the regime and replace it with a compliant flunky. Here’s Kennedy:

… our war against Bashar Assad did not begin with the peaceful civil protests of the Arab Spring in 2011. Instead it began in 2000, when Qatar proposed to construct a $10 billion, 1,500 kilometer pipeline through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and Turkey. Qatar shares with Iran the South Pars/North Dome gas field, the world’s richest natural gas repository. The international trade embargo until recently prohibited Iran from selling gas abroad. Meanwhile, Qatar’s gas can reach European markets only if it is liquefied and shipped by sea, a route that restricts volume and dramatically raises costs. The proposed pipeline would have linked Qatar directly to European energy markets via distribution terminals in Turkey, which would pocket rich transit fees. The Qatar/Turkey pipeline would give the Sunni kingdoms of the Persian Gulf decisive domination of world natural gas markets and strengthen Qatar, America’s closest ally in the Arab world. Qatar hosts two massive American military bases and the U.S. Central Command’s Mideast headquarters. Why the Arabs Don’t Want Us in Syria, Robert Kennedy, Politico

This helps to explain why Syria factors so largely in US geopolitical plans to control critical resources as a way to preserve the dominance of the dollar and to contain China’s explosive economic growth. The US is determined to control the vast resources of the Middle East to maintain its privileged position in the global order. Here’s more:

Assad further enraged the Gulf’s Sunni monarchs by endorsing a Russian-approved “Islamic pipeline” running from Iran’s side of the gas field through Syria and to the ports of Lebanon. The Islamic pipeline would make Shiite Iran, not Sunni Qatar, the principal supplier to the European energy market and dramatically increase Tehran’s influence in the Middle East and the world. Israel also was understandably determined to derail the Islamic pipeline, which would enrich Iran and Syria and presumably strengthen their proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria. It is important to note that this was well before the Arab Spring-engendered uprising against Assad. Why the Arabs Don’t Want Us in Syria, Robert Kennedy, Politico

So, once Assad agreed to the “Islamic pipeline”, his goose was cooked. Washington was never going to let that happen. As we said earlier, Washington is fully committed to controlling critical resources in the Middle East as a way to contain China and maintain its increasingly tenuous grip on global power. The Abraham Accords also factor into this geopolitical strategy by normalizing relations between Israel and its Islamic neighbors (primarily Saudi Arabia) in order to create an economic corridor that allows for the rapid transport of manufactured goods from India to Europe. Washington sees economic integration in the region as the principle means for preserving its global primacy. That doesn’t mean that Israel’s ambitions to dominate the Middle East wasn’t the driving force behind the war in Syria and the ousting of Assad. It was, but there were other considerations as well, geopolitical considerations.

So, you can see why the US wanted to install a government that was more receptive to Washington’s interests. What’s hard to understand, however, is how this is all supposed to work. Assad is gone and al Qaida won. We know that. Now what?

I can’t imagine that any of the young men who have spent the last decade of their lives gallivanting around the dessert in 4x4s blasting anything that moves, know a lot about running a government. So, who’s going to run the agencies, pay the workers and perform the mundane clerical tasks that that are expected of every government? Who’s going to run the schools, fix the roads, and police the streets? Of course, maybe Mr. al-Jawlani has talents we don’t know about and will miraculously rise to the occasion making sure the agencies are fully staffed and the trains run on time, but that seems extremely unlikely. What is more probable is that the architects of this dreadful fiasco plan to run the country and its flailing economy into the ground, greatly intensifying the suffering of ordinary working people, increasing the public dissatisfaction until an attempt is made to violently overthrow the new regime.

We could be wrong. There is a remote chance that the Sunni militants in HTS will address the needs of the people and lead them to a prosperous and secure future. But we all know that is not going to happen. This regime is merely a tool in the hands of foreign interests who want to seize as much of Syria’s natural wealth as possible while eliminating a potential threat to Israel’s relentless expansion. In short, the neocon powerbrokers who fomented this evil strategy did so without the slightest regard for the safety or well-being of any of the 23 million people who currently call Syria home. Their lives just don’t matter.

What does matter (to Tel Aviv and Washington) is having a proxy army that is willing to do its bidding in an upcoming war with Iran. That matters. And that is why the US and Turkey use “contract” soldiers who will do what they are told in exchange for the lavish salaries they receive. HTS is paid for its services, and those services are going to involve the launching of attacks on Iran and Hezbollah. So, this is NOT an experiment in new forms of governance. Hayat Tahrir al-Sham doesn’t have the slightest interest in running the government. Syria is merely a base of operations for launching attacks on Iran and Hezbollah. That’s it. That’s what they’re paid to do, make war.

Syria’s Post-Mortem

Posted on by
Reply

The NATO-Israeli cabal cheering on Damascus’s fall will get more than they bargained for. Power struggles and infighting among extremist militias and civil society, each backed by different regional and foreign actors who want a piece of the pie.

Pepe Escobar

Terror, occupation, and Palestine

The late Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah was adamant when he insisted on the deeper meaning of losing Syria: “Palestine would be lost.” More than ever, it’s up to a Global Resistance not to allow it. 

The short headline defining the abrupt, swift end of Syria as we knew it would be: Eretz Israel meets new-Ottomanism. The subtitle? A win-win for the west, and a lethal blow against the Axis of Resistance.

But to quote still pervasive American pop culture, perhaps the owls are not what they seem.

Let’s start with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s surrender. Qatari diplomats, off the record, maintain that Assad tried to negotiate a transfer of power with the armed opposition that had launched a major military offensive in the days prior, starting with Aleppo, then swiftly headed southward toward Hama, Homs, aiming for Damascus. That’s what was discussed in detail between Russia, Iran, and Turkiye behind closed doors in Doha this past weekend, during the last sigh of the moribund “Astana process” to demilitarize Syria

The transfer of power negotiation failed. Hence, Assad was offered asylum by Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. That explains why both Iran and Russia instantly changed the terminology while still in Doha, and began to refer to the “legitimate opposition” in a bid to distinguish non-militant reformists from the armed extremists cutting a swathe across the state.  

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov – his body language telling everything about his anger – literally said, “Assad must negotiate with the legitimate opposition, which is on the UN list.”

Very important: Lavrov did not mean Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Salafi-jihadi, or Rent-a-Jihadi mob financed by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) with weapons funded by Qatar, and fully supported by NATO and Tel Aviv. 

What happened after the funeral in Doha was quite murky, suggesting a western intel remote-controlled coup, developing as fast as lightning, complete with reports of domestic betrayals. 

The original Astana idea was to keep Damascus safe and to have Ankara manage HTS. Yet Assad had already committed a serious strategic blunder, believing in lofty promises by NATO messaged through his newfound Arab leader friends in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.    

To his own astonishment, according to Syrian and regional officials, Assad finally realized how fragile his own position was, having turned down military assistance from his stalwart regional allies, Iran and Hezbollah, believing that his new Arab allies might keep him safe.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was in shambles after 13 years of war and ruthless US sanctions. Logistics were prey to deplorable corruption. The rot was systemic. But importantly, while many were prepared to fight the foreign-backed terror groups once again, insiders say Assad never fully deployed his army to counterattack the onslaught.

Tehran and Moscow tried everything – up to the last minute. In fact, Assad was already in deep trouble since his visit to Moscow on 29 November that reaped no tangible results. The Damascus establishment thus regarded Russia’s insistence that Assad must abandon his previous red lines on negotiating a political settlement as a de facto signal pointing to the end. 

Turkiye: ‘we have nothing to do with it’

Apart from doing nothing to prevent the increasing atrophy and collapse of the SAA, Assad did nothing to rein in Israel, which has been bombing Syria non-stop for years. 

Until the very last moment, Tehran was willing to help: two brigades were ready to get into Syria, but it would take at least two weeks to deploy them.      

The Fars News Agency explained the mechanism in detail – from the Syrian leadership’s inexorable lack of motivation to fight the terror brigades to Assad ignoring serious warnings from Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei since June, all the way to two months ago, with other Iranian officials warning that HTS and its foreign backers were preparing a blitzkrieg. According to the Iranians: 

“After Aleppo fell, it became clear that Assad had no real intentions of staying in power, so we started to engage in diplomatic talks with the opposition, and arranged the safe exit of our troops from Syria. If the SAA does not fight, neither will we risk our soldiers’ lives. Russia and the UAE had managed to convince him to step down, so there was nothing we could do.”

There’s no Russian confirmation that they convinced Assad to step down: one just needs to interpret that failed meeting in Moscow on 29 November. Yet, significantly, there is confirmation, before that, about Turkiye knowing everything about the HTS offensive as far back as six months ago. 

Ankara’s version is predictably murky: HTS told them about it, and asked them not to intervene. Additionally, the Turkish Foreign Ministry spun that President-Caliph Recep Tayyip Erdogan tried to warn Assad (no word from Damascus on that). Ankara, on the record, via Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, firmly denies orchestrating or approving the Rent-a-Jihadi offensive. They may regret this yet, with everyone from Washington to Tel Aviv jumping in to take credit for the fall of Damascus.

Only the NATO propaganda machine believes this version – as HTS has been for years completely supported not only by Turkiye, but also, covertly, by Israel, which was outed for paying salaries to the extremists during the Syrian war, and famously helped rehabilitate Al-Qaeda fighters injured in battle. 

All that leads to the predominant scenario of a carefully calculated CIA/MI6/Mossad controlled demolition, complete with a non-stop weaponizing flow, Ukrainian training of takfiris on the use of FPV kamikaze drones, and Samsonites full of cash bribing high-ranking Syrian officials. 

New Great Game reloaded        

The Syrian collapse may be a classic case of “extending Russia” – and also Iran, when it comes to the all-crucial land bridge that connects it with its allies in the Mediterranean (the Lebanese and Palestinian resistance movements). Not to mention sending a message to China, which, for all its lofty “community of a shared future” rhetoric, had done absolutely nothing to help in the reconstruction of Syria. 

On the geo-energy level, now there are no more obstacles to the resolution of an epic Pipelineistan saga – and one of the key reasons for the war on Syria, as I analyzed it nine years ago: building the Qatar–Turkiye gas pipeline through Syrian territory to provide Europe with an alternative to Russian gas. Assad had rejected that project, after which Doha helped fund the Syrian war to depose him.

There’s no evidence that key Persian Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia and UAE will gleefully accept Qatar’s geoeconomic stardom if the pipeline is built. For starters, it needs to run through Saudi territory, and Riyadh may no longer be open to that. 

This burning question connects to a pile-up of other questions, including, with the Syrian gateway all but gone: how will Hezbollah receive weapons supplies in the future, and how will the Arab world react to Turkiye trying to go full Neo-Ottoman?   

Then there’s the thorny case of BRICS partner-state Turkiye directly clashing with top BRICS members Russia, China, and Iran. Ankara’s new turn may even end up causing it to be rejected by BRICS, and not granted a favorable trade status by China. 

While a case can certainly be made that losing Syria may be devastating for Russia and the Global Majority, hold those horses – for now. In the event of losing the port of Tartous that the USSR-Russia has run since 1971, alongside the Hmeimim air base – and thus being ousted from the Eastern Mediterranean – Moscow would have replacing options, with different degrees of feasibility. 

We have Algeria (a BRICS partner), Egypt (a BRICS member), and Libya. Even the Persian Gulf: that, incidentally, could become part of the Russia–Iran comprehensive strategic partnership, to be officially signed on 25 January in Moscow by Putin and his Iranian counterpart President Masoud Pezeshkian. 

It’s extremely naïve to assume that Moscow was caught by surprise by the staging of an alleged Kursk 2.0. As if all Russian intel assets – bases, satellites, ground intel – would not have scrutinized a bunch of Salafi-Jihadis for months assembling an army of tens of thousands in Greater Idlib, complete with a tank division.

So it’s quite plausible that what’s being played is classic Russia, combined with Persian guile. It didn’t take long for Tehran and Moscow to do the math on what they would lose – especially in terms of human resources – by falling into the trap of supporting an already enfeebled Assad in yet another bloody, protracted ground war.  Still, Tehran offered military support, and Moscow, air support, and negotiations scenarios till the very end.

Now, the whole Syrian tragedy – including a possible Caliphate of all-Sham led by reformed, minority-hugging jihadist Abu Mohammad al-Julani – falls into the full managing responsibility of the NATO/Tel Aviv/Ankara combo. 

They are simply not prepared to navigate the ultra-complex tribal, clannish, embedded in corruption Syrian matrix – not to mention the magma of 37 terror outfits only kept together, so far, by the tiny glue of ousting Assad. This volcano will certainly explode in their collective faces, potentially in the form of horrendous internal battles that may last at least a few years.   

Syria’s northeast and east are already, instantly, mired in total anarchy, with a multitude of local tribes bent on keeping their mafioso schemes at all costs, refusing to be controlled by a US–Kurd Rojava composite that is largely communist and secular. Some of these tribes are already getting cozy with the Turk-supported Salafi-jihadis. Other Arab tribes had this year joined forces with Damascus against both the extremists and Kurdish secessionists.    

Western Syria may also be anarchy territory, as in Idlib: bloody rivalry between terror and bandit networks, between clans, tribes, ethnic groups, and religious groups regimented by Assad, the panorama even more complex than in Libya under former President Muammar al-Gaddafi. 

As for the Head-Choppers’ supply lines, they will inevitably be stretched – and then it will be easy to cut them off, not only by Iran, for instance, but also by the NATO wing via Turkiye/Israel when they turn against the Caliphate, as they invariably may if the latter’s abuses become too media-apparent.   
No one is able to foresee what will happen to the carcass of Assad-dynasty Syria. Millions of refugees may return, especially from Turkiye, which Washington has for years tried to prevent to protect its “Kurdification” project in the north – but at the same time, millions will flee, terrified by the prospect of a new Caliphate and a renewed civil war.

Is there a possible ray of light amongst such gloom? The leader of the transition government will be Mohammad al-Bashir, who was, until recently, the prime minister of the so-called Syrian Salvation Government (SSG) in HTS-ruled Idlib. An electrical engineer by training, Bashir added a further degree to his education in 2021: Sharia and law.

What to Know About Israeli PM Netanyahu’s Corruption Trial

Posted on by

Supporters of Israel's Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, seen in poster, gather outside a court in Tel Aviv, Israel, Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024 as Netanyahu is set to take the stand in his long-running trial on corruption charges. - Sputnik International, 1920, 10.12.2024

Svetlana Ekimenko

Benjamin Netanyahu takes the witness stand for the first time in his ongoing corruption trial on Tuesday. Ahead of the testimony, Israel’s first serving Prime Minister on trial insisted that he was eager to “present the truth and finally explode the delusional unfounded accusations, the brutal witch hunt.”

The corruption charges against Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu were filed in 2019.

let’s take a closer look at the allegations that Netanyahu has repeatedly denied.

Case 1000 centers on allegations that Netanyahu and his wife Sara received extravagant illicit gifts like champagne, cigars, and jewelry from Israel-born Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian investor James Packer in 2007-2016 to a tune of $186,000. Netanyahu reportedly helped Milchan renew his US visa and extended the tax exemption for returning expatriate Israelis.

In Case 2000, he is accused of fraud over an alleged deal with publisher Arnon Mozes, owner of the Yedioth Ahronoth. He reportedly considered enacting regulatory legislation to weaken rival outlet Israel Hayom, according to the indictment’s summary. Netanyahu did not follow through on that promise.

In Case 4000 (Bezeq-Walla), Netanyahu as communications minister is accused of authorizing regulatory decisions from 2012 to 2017 that financially benefited Israeli telecommunications company Bezeq, then owned by Shaul Elovitch. In exchange, Elovitch provided favorable coverage on his Walla news website. Elovitch and his wife are also on trial and deny wrongdoing. Netanyahu has denied any wrongdoing and rejected calls for his resignation.

Did Russia Just Set a HUGE Trap in Syria?

Posted on by

Cynthia Chung

I have just finished watching an insightful interview by Alex Krainer on his thoughts as to how Syria could have fallen in a matter of days without what appears to be any significant resistance. Alex makes some interesting points as to how things may not appear to be as they seem and that this could all very well have been a trap with the plan to attrition the enemy, a new Afghanistan scenario except this time it is the Zionist/Anglo-American forces who have walked into the sinking sand rather than the Russians et al. Only time will tell, but I think Alex’s points are important since, if he is correct, it shows that things are not as insane or incompetent as they seem to be right now, at least concerning the Shanghai Corporation Organization, and thus all of this strategizing to be free from the Zionist/Anglo-American stranglehold over decades has not been for nought.

I highly recommend people watch Alex’s interview which can be viewed above!

Is a New Russian Turkey Alliance Forming? Syrian President Assad Moves to Moscow

Posted on by

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the most recent BRICS conference in Kazan, Russia.

by Brian Shilhavy
Editor, Health Impact News

It’s been a few days since I have provided an update to the current conflicts in these beginning stages of World War III, and much has happened within a very short period of time.

Let me outline the chronology of events first, before providing commentary.

As I previously reported, on November 11, 2024, Russia shocked the world by launching their new missile, the Oreshnik, into Ukraine which demolished a Ukrainian defense industry facility in Dnepropetrovsk.

There are currently no missile defense systems that can intercept these new missiles. See: Russia Threatens Air Strikes with New Missile on American Bases in the Middle East, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and North Dakota

Four days later, on November 25, 2024, Russia issued a public statement that was quoted in the Turkish media calling for an end to Israeli airstrikes on civilians in Lebanon. (Source.)

That same day, it was announced suddenly in the U.S. corporate media that a ceasefire agreement had been reached between Israel and Lebanon.

The next day, on November 26, 2024, Turkey publicly complained about new sanctions on Russia that the Biden administration had just implemented, that would affect Turkey’s ability to pay for natural gas from Russia to get through the winter.

Türkiye seeks exemption from US sanctions on Russia’s Gazprombank

As winter nears, Türkiye’s industries rely on secure gas supplies, with Russian gas playing a key role, says Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar.

Ankara wants an exemption from US sanctions on Russia’s Gazprombank, said the Turkish energy and natural resources minister, warning that such measures would jeopardise the security of the country’s gas supplies.

“These sanctions will affect Türkiye. We cannot pay, if we cannot pay we cannot buy the goods. The foreign ministry is in talks,” Alparslan Bayraktar told reporters late on Monday.

As winter approaches, Türkiye’s industries need secure gas supplies and Russian gas plays an important role, he said.

Noting that previous Iran sanctions included a natural gas exemption, Bayraktar said: “We seek a similar exemption from the US.”

Bayraktar noted that the Biden administration made this decision about 45 days before president-elect Donald Trump is set to take office, adding: “We don’t understand the Biden administration’s timing.”

“The problem is that lifting these sanctions is not something that can be done overnight,” he added.

Separately, a Turkish official said that representatives from Turkish and Russian foreign, trade and finance ministries as well as central banks met on Monday to discuss the US move and its impact on bilateral energy trade.

“We discussed with the Russian delegation what can be done to prevent Turkey from being subject to sanctions during this process and what the effects of this will be,” the Turkish source said.

Aside from Russia, Türkiye is directly affected by this decision, Bayraktar said, adding that the country’s supply security is at risk.

Last week, the US announced sanctions against 118 individuals and entities tied to Russia’s financial sector, including Gazprombank, the country’s largest remaining bank yet to be blocked by Washington. (Source.)

The day after this was published, on November 27, 2024, anti-Syrian rebel forces started a lightning fast military campaign that soon took over Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city.

These forces then rapidly marched on Damascus, Syrian’s largest city, this weekend, with the result that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has now fled to Moscow, allegedly bringing with him much of Syria’s national assets to ensure a comfortable lifestyle for his new home is Russia.

Who exactly is going to run Syrian’s government at this point is not clear, at the time of my writing this.

So those are some of the facts, and all of this has happened so rapidly, that it appears there is no scripted description of these events in the world’s English media newsrooms at this time.

The perspective on what has just happened these past several days, will differ widely depending on which English news you are reading, as U.S., Russian, Arab, Iranian, and Turkish English news all have a different slant on what just happened in Syria.

Sputnik News, an English news medium out of Russia, has published what I think is a good summary of each country’s interest in Syria.

Syrian Crisis: Key Interests of the US, Israel, Turkiye, Iran, and Russia

The 13-year-long Syrian civil war, culminating in the fall of the Bashar al-Assad government and the risk of further fragmentation of Syria, has significant implications for both global and regional players.

Here’s a look at the strategic interests of key stakeholders:

The United States

  • Washington viewed Syria’s fragmentation as a way to undermine Iran, which, along with Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraqi Shiite militias, and Yemeni Houthis, forms the Axis of Resistance against US-backed Israel.
  • Weakening this Axis ensures greater security for Washington’s ally, Israel.
  • A declassified 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency report revealed that the US planned to support the creation of a Sunni Salafist principality in Syria to isolate government-controlled territories considered the “strategic depth of Shia expansion” for Iran and Iraqi Shiite militias.

Israel

  • Technically at war with Syria since 1948, Israel views the collapse of Syria as removing a long-standing adversary. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have targeted Syria’s arms stockpiles and military installations to eliminate its war potential.
  • Syria was also a critical link for Iran to supply Hezbollah in Lebanon. Syria’s disintegration benefits Israel by weakening the Axis of Resistance and reducing external pressure on its policies regarding Palestinian territories.
  • Additionally, Syria’s fragmentation has enabled Israel to solidify its control over the Golan Heights, nullify the 1974 ceasefire agreement, and expand its territory by seizing Syria-controlled Golan areas.

Turkiye

  • Ankara aims to maintain control over northern Syria, bordering Turkiye, where the US-backed Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), designated as terrorists by Turkey, currently operate.
  • Syria’s fragmentation poses a threat to Turkiye due to the Kurdish aspiration for an independent state, which threatens Turkiye’s national security and territorial integrity. Approximately 30 million Kurds live in the mountainous regions of Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkiye.
  • The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army has recently expelled the YPG from Tal Rifaat (north of Aleppo), severed a key route between Raqqa and Aleppo, and encircled the city of Manbij from three sides.

Iran

  • Syria played an important role in the Axis of Resistance in confronting Israel and defending the Palestinians, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
  • Iran and Syria also cooperated in the joint fight against ISIS* and other sectarian factions threatening Iran and its Shiite allies.
  • Iran sought to preserve Syria’s territorial integrity and assisted in political reconciliation between warring parties to prevent chaos and fragmentation, which could lead to broader regional instability.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has expressed concerns about the potential for sectarian war, civil war, Syria’s disintegration, and its transformation into a hub of terrorists.

Russia

  • Syria has been a longstanding Russian ally, providing the Russian Navy with a permanent presence in the Mediterranean Sea at the port city of Tartus since 1971.
  • Russia’s involvement in the Syrian conflict coincided with the ISIS* expansion and came at Damascus’ request to combat terrorism “abroad to prevent it from striking at home,” as President Vladimir Putin stated in 2015. The Syria crisis threatened to expand to Russia’s Caucasus and beyond.
  • Following the defeat of ISIS, Russia’s strategic interests included stabilizing the situation on the ground, curbing remaining terrorist threats, and ensuring reconciliation of warring parties along with a political settlement to maintain regional stability.

In my opinion, Russia is probably the one who brokered this deal, especially considering the chain of events that started after they unveiled their Oreshnik missile.

Consider also that Russia, while allowing the government in Syria to end and bringing Assad to Moscow, maintained their very key military bases in the region.

Syrian opposition guarantees security of Russian military bases — Kremlin source

Russian officials are in touch with representatives of armed Syrian opposition, the source said

MOSCOW, December 8. /TASS/. Leaders of armed Syrian opposition have guaranteed security of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions on the Syrian soil, a source in the Kremlin said.

“Russian officials are in touch with representatives of armed Syrian opposition, whose leaders have guaranteed security of Russian military bases and diplomatic missions on the Syrian territory,” the source said. (Source.)

However, while Russia may have been the driving force to allow this to happen, many sources believe it was Turkey who carried out the plans, and at this point, based on everything I have read so far, I tend to agree.

The Turkish – Kurdish problem is a problem that has existed for decades now, and Turkey blames the Kurdish resistance forces as “terrorists” and a threat to their borders.

I lived and worked in Turkey for several years in the 1980s, and I was hired by a private NGO firm in 1990 to go to southeastern Turkey after the Gulf War to help with repatriating Kurds into northern Iraq who had fled Saddam Hussein’s attacks on their cities.

I was hired as a translator, since I was fluent in Turkish at the time.

This could mean that with Russia’s new prominence in weapons technology with the launching of their Oreshnik missile, that they are forming a stronger alliance with Turkey, with whom they have continued to supply energy resources with even during the Ukraine war with sanctions in place, and that includes nuclear power.

[…]

Things seem to be developing very rapidly now, and it is hard to know what the immediate future holds, since Russia has introduced this new missile that apparently cannot be defended at this point.

Dr Fauci: Biowarfare Champion.

Thank You, Dr Fauci

Directed by Jenner Furst (2024)

Film Review

I have a big problem with this film. While gain of function (ie biowarfare) research is unquestionably dangerous, illegal and immoral, I dispute the filmmaker’s assertion that the Covid19 research funded by Anthony Fauci is responsible for the death of 2 million Americans. Despite solid evidence that Fauci funded illegal gain of function research at China’s Wuhan Lab, the 2 million death figure stems less from his actions than from gross over diagnosis of Covid19, combined with gross medical mismanagement of Covid19 patients.

I particularly object to Hurst’s parting warning that new GOF organisms coming down the pike (particularly bird flu) are poised to kill millions more Americans. The scientifically informed audience this film aims at are totally over the fear porn mentality cultivated by the ruling elite’s tech industry.

Exaggerated Covid Death Rate

As epidemiologists have carefully documented, Covid19 was grossly overdiagnosed throughout the pandemic, assigning violent deaths (from car crashes, etc) as Covid cases if victims manifested a positive PCR test.*  A close look at the data reveals that seasonal influenza epidemics failed to occur in 2020 and 2021 for the first time in more than fifty years. Patients (mainly seniors) who died of complications of viral respiratory illness in 2019 were recorded as influenza victims, while those dying of virtually identical illnesses in 2020, 2021 and 2022 nearly all had PCR testing and were recorded as Covid19 deaths.

Covid19 Low Mortality Illness

Assuming Covid19 was originally designed as a bioweapon, it wasn’t a very good one, given its mortality of slightly under 1%, roughly equivalent to that of severe influenza.

Gross Medical Mismanagement

  • Suppression of documented treatments – of the fraction of genuine Covid19 patients who were hospitalized and died, peer-reviewed research documents the vast majority could have been saved by early outpatient treatment with hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin or even Vitamin D. Western governments deliberately suppressed these treatments, through illegal bans and censorship and prosecution of doctors who prescribed them.
  • Failure to diagnose and treat secondary bacterial infections in Covid19 patients, which was most often the main cause of fatal pneumonia.
  • Iatrogenic renal failure caused by the highly toxic (and ineffective) antiviral drug Remdesivir.
  • Iatrogenic respiratory failure caused by denying Covid19 patients oxygen and placing them prematurely on ventilators.

Intriguing Context

The context of the film is intriguing. Dr Fauci’s office contacted award winning documentary filmmaker Jenner Furst to do a puff piece on his management of the Covid pandemic. Furst’s background research led him down a rabbit hole when he uncovered unquestionable evidence of Fauci’s involvement in gain-of-function research in China’s Wuhan lab.

Prior to viewing Thank You, Dr Fauci, I was unaware former CDC Director Dr Robert Redfield was one of the first to suggest (in January 2020) that the Covid19 virus was the product of gain-of-function research. He was eventually forced out of his job for refusing go along with Fauci’s attempted cover-up of funding he approved for GOF research at China’s Wuhan lab.

Redfield’s conclusion that Covid19 was manmade was largely due to unique genetic material (a furin cleavage site on the spike protein). This could only happen naturally by the virtually impossible scenario of a bat becoming infected by two distinct coronaviruses at the same time.

Following Redfield’s dismissal, whistleblowers leaked an email storm between Fauci and various colleagues (mostly virologists who were dependent on him for grants) orchestrating their coverup of billions of dollars of grant funding he authorized for GOF research at China’s Wuhan lab. According to Peter Daczak of EcoHealth Alliance and other scientists involved in administrating these grants, their alleged motivation was to enable the CIA to spy on Chinese researchers at the Wuhan lab. Release of these emails and other evidence under the Freedom of Information Act eventually led to Fauci’s resignation in December 2022.

Why the Clintons Need Biden’s ‘Blanket Pardons’ More Than Other Democrats

After President Joe Biden issued an unusual blanket pardon for his son, Hunter, Democratic Congressman Ed Markey has urged the president to extend “preemptive pardons” to other top Democrats whom Donald Trump believes “harmed him” and might otherwise be treated by him in a “fascistic way.”

“After nearly four years of weaponizing US government resources against perceived enemies of certain dynastic political families, Markey and Biden have some nerve suggesting that the Trump administration will be engaging in ‘fascist’ retaliation starting January 20, 2025,” Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel tells Sputnik, referencing Biden’s prosecution of January 6 protestors and labeling MAGA supporters as “extremists.”

US journalist Jonathan Martin reported on December 4 that Biden’s senior aides are debating the issue, and the alleged pardon list might include Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, former COVID czar Anthony Fauci.

“The public has yet to learn how deep the rot became across America ever since 1988, when elites embraced unregulated globalism and a turbocharged spoils system where trillions of dollars in spending that is not audited (by design) can be pilfered or diverted to fund political campaigns and multiple-mansion lifestyles,” Ortel says.

According to the analyst, the political trajectories of the Biden, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Pelosi, and Cheney dynasty families warrant close scrutiny for alleged influence-peddling and other questionable conduct.

Why Hillary and Bill Clinton Need Biden’s Pardons

In 2018, two forensic investigators-turned-whistleblowers, John Moynihan and Larry Doyle, testified before the US Congress that the Clinton Foundation does not operate as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization but acts as a foreign agent and owes the US government between $400 million and $2.5 billion in taxes.

Additionally, Special Counsel John Durham’s probe indicated that Hillary Clinton and her team played a significant role in shaping and promoting the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. According to Ortel, this hoax was used to prevent Trump from investigating the Clintons’ apparent pay-to-play schemes, mishandling of classified information, and alleged money laundering.

Biden’s Pardon Makes Hunter Invaluable Witness

[One] report notes that the Biden family may now have greater exposure since Hunter can no longer readily invoke the Fifth Amendment,” Ortel points out.

The Washington Free Beacon reported on December 3 that Hunter will no longer be able to rely on his Fifth Amendment right to silence regarding any potential federal crimes for which he’s been pardoned, according to two former House general counsels.

The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination; however, with Hunter no longer at risk of federal prosecution for the period between January 2014 and December 2024, he appears to be ineligible for this protection.

The newspaper alleges that Republican lawmakers should jump at the opportunity to subpoena Hunter Biden for new information about his family’s knowledge or involvement in his apparent influence-peddling schemes.

There are a lot of questions concerning the Biden family’s conduct in post-coup Ukraine where Hunter helped secure millions of dollars of funding for Metabiota, a Pentagon bio-reseach contractor, and where he got a hefty salary from Bursima gas firm.

“Finally, offering Hunter pardons for federal crimes back to January 1, 2014 raises suspicions that Joe may know of illegal activities in which Hunter engaged, years before crimes alleged in the indictments in the gun (2018) and tax (2019) cases,” Ortel stresses.

Syria falls to rebels who are “a tool of NATO, Israel and Turkey” with US role included

Turkey Recognizes Rebel Group as Head of Syria - The New York Times

By Uriel Araujo | December 9, 2024

After combating terrorism and rebel groups for over twelve years, the former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fled the capital of Damascus with his family on December 7, shortly before it fell to the rebels. The victorious insurgents are the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) organization along with an umbrella group called the Syrian National Army.

Craig Murray (former British ambassador to Uzbekistan), in a panel about “the end of pluralism in the Middle East”, described the “Syrian rebels” as “a tool of NATO, Israel and Turkey”. This is a complex description for a complex situation indeed. Of the three, many analysts are focusing on the Israeli and Turkish angle—not so much on the American angle, though.

To recap, since the 2011 armed rebellion, Syria has counted on military aid from its allies Iran and Russia. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard, as well as the (Tehran-backed) Lebanese Hezbollah have in fact been the main anti-terrorist actors in the Levant, by deterring the expansion of terrorist group ISIS (Daesh) and thereby making the region safer for Christians and other minorities. Islamic Wahhabi/Salafi extremists were, after all, beheading some of them while kidnapping others and selling women as slaves.

The fact is that the rebels who have won in Syria now are not of a very different persuasion, and it is no wonder many are now concerned. Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens for one has urged the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs to aid the Christian population in Syria. He wrote: “The advance of extremist armed groups and the capture of Aleppo threaten… the interfaith composition of the region’s population… there is now a looming danger of the complete eradication… of Greek Orthodoxy and Christianity from the wider region.”

Such concerns are well founded. One should bear in mind that (Saudi-born) Abu Mohammed al-Julani, the very leader of Turkish-backed HTS, the group who has captured Aleppo (Syria’s second largest city), joined Al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2003, later establishing its split branch in Syria, the so-called al-Nusra Front. This group, under al-Julani, cooperated with the infamous Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of Al-Qaeda’s split offshoot called “Islamic State in Iraq”, later known as ISIL (ISIS) or Daesh.

Al-Julani’s own later split from al-Qaeda and creation of the aforementioned HTS has been described as merely a “bid” to “stress his group’s national, as opposed to transnational, ambitions.” In other words, the group is just another re-branded offshoot of ISIS/Al-Qaeda. And those are the people who have now conquered Syria.

One might disapprove of Assad’s ruling but such a development can hardly be described by most as anything other than a disaster. Turkey (who aids the rebels) and Israel, as already mentioned, do benefit from this outcome, however, for their own reasons—and much is already being talked about that. But not so many analysts are highlighting the American role in all of it.

For example, the US-backed Syrian Free Army (a coalition which has taken control of Hom’s Palmyra district) announced that they are “open to friendship with everyone in the region – including Israel. We don’t have enemies other than the Assad regime, Hezbollah and Iran. What Israel did against Hezbollah in Lebanon helped us a great deal” – while claiming they are not allied with Turkey. The group, being increasingly dependent on Turkey, is a close ally of the United States, and was even hosted at the American military base at al-Tanf. Turkey, despite its differences with Washington is of course also, let us not forget, a NATO member.

The future of Syria and the concerned parties is far from clear now, there being lots of room for infighting among the different rebel factions. Turkey, which has long occupied northern Syria, has taken advantage of the ceasefire in Lebanon to give the rebels the green-light for launching an offensive (with Iran weakened in Syria and Hezbollah cornered in Lebanon). However Turkish-American differences pertaining to the Kurdish question are to remain a focal point for tensions.

HTS is indeed Turkish-backed but, as mentioned, its roots can be traced to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other such groups empowered by Washington’s policy. One should not forget the fact that there are still around 900 US troops in Syria (mostly in the northeast, near Turkish strongholds) which witnessed the rebel victory. This has led some analysts to comment that “whether the Pentagon wants to admit it or not”, these troops are “likely involved in the broader conflict unfolding there right now.”

Moreover, there is nothing new about the West praising and empowering brutal terrorism and radicals when such is deemed geopolitically convenient: if former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton under President Barack Obama had achieved her stated goals, Syria would be in a similar situation to Libya since 2011 – in Libya, coincidence or not, arms provided by the US to rebels there also “ended up” in ISIS hands, according to Amnesty reports.

Back to the Levant region, it is a well-established fact that Washington played a key role in the empowerment of ISIS (or Daesh) both in Syria and Iraq (as well as other brutal radicals), with the Pentagon and the CIA arming mostly foreign Islamic militias that ended up even fighting among themselves. This is consistent with American foreign policy elsewhere too. The infamous Clinton emails also show how the US was aware of their allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia supporting Daesh terror.

The White House National Security Council (NSC) spokesperson Sean Savett said in a recent statement that Washington “has nothing to do with this offensive.” Considering all of the above, one can certainly be justified in taking such statements with a grain of salt. For Washington, further destabilizing Syria might also serve the role of “countering” Russia in the region. The US has consistently aided, funded, armed and trained Fundamentalist rebels who operate in the Levant for over a decade and there is no reason to assume anything is different now with the newest developments.

Finally, still on the topic of the Christian minority, US foreign policy—for a variety of reasons—has actually often involved dividing or destabilizing Eastern Christian (both Orthodox and Miaphysitist) populations or sometimes even aiding or turning a blind eye to the ethnic-religious cleansing of such groups or of Christians in general in the Levant region, for that matter.

The Syria Tragedy & The New Omni-War

Posted on by
1

Pepe Escobar

Until recently, a serious geopolitical working hypothesis was that West Asia and Ukraine were two vectors of the standard Hegemon modus operandi, which is to incite and unleash Forever Wars. Now both wars are united in an Omni-War.

A coalition of Straussian neo-cons in the US, hardcore revisionist Zionists in Tel Aviv and Ukrainian neo-nazi shades of grey is now betting on a Final Confrontation – with several overtones ranging from expanding lebensraum to provoking the Apocalypse.

What stands in their way is essentially two of the top BRICS: Russia and Iran.

China, self-protected by their collective lofty dream of “community of a shared future for mankind”, warily watches on the sidelines, as they know that at the end of the road, the true “existential” war by the Hegemon will be against them.

Meanwhile, Russia and Iran need to mobilize for Totalen Krieg. Because that’s what the enemy is launching.

Undermining BRICS and the INSTC

The total destabilisation of Syria, with heavy CIA-MI6 input, now proceeding in real time, is a carefully engineered gambit to undermine BRICS and beyond.

It proceeds in parallel to Pashinyan removing Armenia from the CSTO – based on a US promise to support Yerevan in a possible new clash with Baku; India being encouraged to ramp up a weapons race with Pakistan; and across-the-board intimidation of Iran.

So this is also a war to destabilize the International North South Transportation Corridor (INSTC), of which the three major protagonists are BRICS members Russia, Iran and India.

As it stands, the INSTC is totally geopolitical risk-free. As a top BRICS corridor-in-the-making, it carries the potential to become even more effective than several of China’s cross-Heartland corridors of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The INSTC would be a key lifeline for a great deal of the global economy in case of a direct confrontation between the US/Israel combo and Iran – with the possible shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz leading to the collapse of a multi-quadrillion pile of financial derivatives, economically imploding the collective West.

Turkiye under Erdogan, as usual, is playing a double game. Rhetorically, Ankara stands by a genocide-free and sovereign Palestine. In practice, the Turkiye supports and funds a motley crew of Greater Idlibistan jihadis – trained by Ukrainian Neo-nazis in drone warfare and with weapons financed by Qatar – who have just marched on and conquered Aleppo, Hama, and possibly beyond.

If this army of mercenaries were real followers of Islam, they would be marching in defense of Palestine.

At the same time, the real picture inside the corridors of power in Tehran is extremely murky. There are factions favoring getting closer to the West, which clearly would have ramifications for the Axis of Resistance’s ability to fight Tel Aviv.

On Lebanon, Syria never wavered. History explains why: from the point of view of Damascus, Lebanon historically remains a governorate, so Damascus is responsible for the security of Beirut.

And that’s one of Tel Aviv’s key motives to propel the current Salafi-jihadi offensive on Syria – after smashing virtually every communication corridor between Syria and Lebanon. What Tel Aviv could not accomplish on the ground – a victory over Hezbollah in southern Lebanon – has been replaced by isolating Hezbollah from the Axis of Resistance.

When in Doubt, Re-Read Xenophon

Wars in West Asia are a complex mix of national, sectarian, tribal and religious vectors. In a sense, they are endless wars; controllable to an extent, but then back again.

The Russian strategy in Syria seemed to be very precise. As it was impossible to normalize a completely fragmented nation, Moscow opted to free the Syria that really matters – the capital, the most important cities, and the Eastern Mediterranean coast – from the Salafi-jihadi mobs.

The problem is that freezing the war in 2020, with direct implication by Russia, Iran and (reluctantly) Turkiye, did not solve the “moderate rebel” problem. Now they’re back – in full force, supported by a vast Rent-a-Jihadi mob, with NATOstan Intel behind them.

Some things never change.

2012. Jake Sullivan, then an aide to Hillary Clinton: “AQ [al-Qaeda*] is on our side in Syria.”

2021. James Jeffrey, special envoy to Syria under Trump (2018-2020): “HTS [Hayat Tahrir al-Sham*] is an asset to the US’s strategy in Idlib.”

There could not be better timing for the revival of the HTS “asset”. HTS if filling an enormous void; beware when that happens in West Asia. Russia is fully concentrated on Ukraine. Hezbollah suffered heavily from Tel Aviv’s bombings and serial killing. Tehran is fully concentrated on how to deal with Trump 2.0.

History always teaches us. Syria is now a West Asian Anabasis. Xenophon – a soldier and writer – tell us how, in the 4th century B.C., an “expedition” (“anabasis”, in Ancient Greek) of 10,000 Greek mercenaries were engaged by Cyrus the Younger against his brother Artaxerxes II, King of Persia, from Armenia to the Black Sea. The expedition miserably failed – and the painful return journey was endless.

2,400 years later, we see governments, armies and mercenaries still plunging into the endless West Asia wars – and extracting themselves now is even more insoluble.

Syria now is tired, attritted, with the SAA becoming complacent with the long freeze of the war since 2020. All that coupled with the vicious starvation siege unleashed by the US Caesar Act, and the impossibility to start rebuilding the nation with the help of at least 8 million citizens who fled the endless war.

Over these past 4 years, problems piled up. There were endless breaches of the Astana process and Israel bombed Syria almost daily with impunity.

China was basically immobile. Beijing simply did not invest in the rebuilding of Syria.

Perspective is sobering. Even Russia – which is a de facto Resistance icon in itself, even if not formally part of the West Asian Axis of Resistance – has taken nearly three years of hard slog in its fight with Ukraine.

Only a cohesive, consolidated Axis of Resistance – after getting rid of countless 5th columnists working inside – would have a chance against being picked off one by one by the same consolidated enemy, over and over again.
