Syria: Delusion and Disinformation – Lies Paralyze Us All
Syrian “Truth” Crippled by the Lies of Libya
by Gordon Duff, Senior Editor
Truth is the rarest commodity of all. Even sports reporting involves bribery. International relations, history books, newspapers, simply forget it.
How do you find truth, where do you start? You certainly don’t go to Pravda. We talk about “money in politics” turning government into a sewer.
News, universities, all sources of knowledge are polluted by payoffs, often orchestrated as complex game theory intelligence operations, in fact, this is almost invariably the case.
Whoever pretends to be involved, even Tel Aviv’s Al Qaeda franchise, there is a real revolution in Syria. Those who state otherwise do so knowing they are lying
VT has become an international news service. Wherever we don’t have people on the ground, those with the right contacts and the ability to understand lies when they hear them, we are paralyzed. Almost everything else that we get as “corrected” or “independent” news is a blend of occasional brilliance, usually “borrowed,” followed by “dot connnecting” that is beyond silly.
I still have a few crazy people trying to tell me how Libya was plotted against, the haven for mankind, the perfect government, overthrown by Jewish bankers and NATO.
Gaddafi vacationed with the Jewish bankers, was a NATO stooge all his life and, though was killed to silence what he knew, was a brutal animal.
Every rumor, the banks, the oil deals, the NATO invasions, his African Bank, the denials of his Israeli partnership and the thousands of mercenaries, many still being sorted out, all were proven false.
Remember how thousands of Al Qaeda were on the ground in Libya? How many times did you read dozens of “pundits” quote that one, using the same terms.
Not one of them has been found. Where do you go to apologize to Al Qaeda, Tel Aviv or Washington? Funny thing, those who wrote so many times that the CIA ran Al Qaeda were willing to change tunes when told to.
We call that “moral flexibility.” I call it folks I don’t care to hear from anymore.
VT had people on the ground, with the rebel army, infiltrating Gaddafi’s forces and eventually hunting him down.
So, when do all those who were caught lying in broadcast and column after column apologize for their lies now that the thousands of Israeli mercenaries are caught, now that the Central Bank rumor is disproven, now that 100,000 Marines that never existed turns out to be four maintenance workers?
BP still has their oil contract, everything is, if anything, too much the same.
Everything reported by dozens of “independent journalists” was either error or, in many cases, we tracked laundered payoff money from Israel to their secret accounts.
What damage did these fools and liars do? Now we face Syria and we can’t move because we are paralyzed by the Libyan liars brigade of hotel bound fantacists, many of whom were on the payroll of Tel Aviv, the Neocons of Washington or the brutal Gaddafi dictatorship.
Most important of all is real freedom for the people of Egypt. They are key.
They sit next to Israel, help control Gaza, have real power and are very much the victim of international plots.
A year after Mubarak falls, so much is still at risk and real freedom is still in doubt.
As is so often the case, dislodging the rats is a job nobody is trained for and, too often, only other rats can dislodge rats.
Let me put some of the Pravda email online, the one infecting the internet, the blend of truth and fantasy:
The west, and particularly the USA, have engineered, financed, armed, trained and encouraged civil war in the Middle East and Africa. In truth, the so-called “Arab Spring” was an Arab spring cleaning.
That is to say, time for the Empire to “clean out” those nations that won’t cooperate with their disgusting full spectrum world domination plan.
They have deliberately and with malice of forethought fomented these civil wars and “rebellions” that are destroying the tranquil, peaceful lives of men, women and children. They pretend to have an interest in the peace and safety of the people, when the opposite is true. They have no interest in seeing the violence come to an end.
This is while they continue to prop up disgusting fascist, racist, genocidal regimes such as in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Yemen, etc.
Once again, that pig-headed, big mouth flap jaw sinister female, Susan Rice, had to get her digs in with yet another verbose dishonest statement oozing of arrogance and stupidity.
“The United States is disgusted that a couple of members of this Council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose,” U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said.
Yes, we know your purpose, Ms. Rice. To destabilize countries. To kill their people. To destroy their way of life. To take over the world and make it groan under your heels.
“For months this Council has been held hostage by a couple of members,” she said, referring to Russia and China, who she said had been “delaying and stripping bare any text to force Assad to stop his actions.”
Taking a moment here, our writer is correct about Ms. Rice. What I don’t have is a staff in Syria I have known for years and I trust. In fact reporting from Syria is confusing to all of us.
I know Syria to be a vicious police state whose people have lived in fear for decades and that Assad minimally needs to step down and that a democratic government that serves the people needs to replace him.
I also know that doing that will draw in western intelligence agencies and that the Soviet Union, that chooses to pretend it is now “Russia,” has a vested interest in Syria. But, the writer is correct, those of the Gulf states have proven their worthlessness when they went into Bahrain.
And who, Ms. Rice, is going to stop YOU from your murderous, evil, demonic actions?
Without referring to Russia by name, she said the vetoes were “even more shameful” given that Russia has continued to sell weapons to to Syria. She called the vetoes “unforgivable” and said “any further blood that flows will be on their hands.”
Yes, Ms. Rice you only want weapons in the hands of the murderers, the terrorists and the population of Syria left defenseless.
The topper whopper of them all: Russia and China “remain steadfast in their willingness to sell out the Syrian people and shield a craven tyrant.”
Who does she think she’s kidding??
Yes, there are lessons from Libya. Was it necessary for the west, not NATO as France was the primary operator there and hasn’t been in NATO since 1959, but was it necessary for forced “regime change.”
I have my own opinions on that, opinions with foundation. Gaddafi choose to run to Israel and his friends in Washington, the Neocons, for protection from Obama and Sarkozy.
He assumed that if he promised undying love to Israel, promised to continue his secret WMD pact with them that Obama would back off.
Then, by going to Obama’s enemies, the Neocons, believing somehow that he was invisible, he felt he had found another ally ready to take his cash.
Little did he know of the rifts, how Obama had been betrayed by Israel and the Koch Brothers cash that tried to undermine reform in America, all with Neocon/Israel blessing.
He had stuck his head into the badger’s den and had it handed to him on a platter. He was stupid.
Sell out the Syrian people? How about them perpetrating the murders of hundreds of Syrian people and disrupting their lives, peace and safety so that they could get an inconvenient government out of their path to world domination?
Ms. Rice is fooling no one. It’s amazing she can lie like that with a straight face. It didn’t pass without notice that while the Syrian representative to the UN, Bashar Al Jaafari, spoke, she removed her ear piece to show her utter classless disrespect for the Syrian people. She wouldn’t even listen…what does that say?
All the blood that flows in Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan is the direct responsibility of the United States and its overlords in Tel Aviv. Disgusting USA and Rice, are you going to STOP now? The terrorists in Syria have Israeli weapons. How does she justify that?
Funny thing, the Israelis use American weapons. Go look? America M-4 and M- 16 rifles, American jets, bombs, the rest of it. Israel makes weapons, mostly for export and sells them. Were weapons brought into Syria, they would be chosen based on their ability to use captured ammunition, 7.62×39 and that AK-74 stuff, 5.34 caliber, not NATO 5.56.
There are hundreds of thousands of Soviet weapons in Israeli hands, they are cheap and efficient and this story we now read has the same credibility as the old tale from Kuwait of babies being taken out of incubators.
It is an embellishment.
As for Pravda’s statement that Assad represents the Syrian people, get real. Syria is a police state. I have friends who had to pay massive bribes just to move to a different apartment. It is and has been one of the nastiest places on earth.
I don’t hate Syria but I always felt horribly sorry for people who had to live under Syria’s insane police state government. We aren’t all idiots who buy the Kool Aid of Pravda, especially after their unmasking over Libya.
Exactly who is supplying weapons to terrorists, both in Syria and Libya? The United States and its sycophant “allies.” Who is telling the so-called “opposition” not to negotiate under any circumstances? The United States.
Who is providing the Goebbels propaganda machine of lies and disinformation? The United States and its sycophant allies. The United States arms expansionist, colonialist Israel and funds their ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians.
I have to decide if this was included just to put in an occasional fact or to propagandize and play to the crowd. Either way, it is truth among statements far less than true and, yes, America is untrustworthy.
As for serious and meaningful attacks on Israel, known well for its ability to orchestrate American policy, they seem strangely absent as is any mention of the strong decades old partnership between Israel and the Soviet Union against the United States. We aren’t children and we are hardly blind.
The position of Russia and China is clearly correct, moral and just. The vetoes by Russia and China now make it possible for the people of Syria to resolve their own issues.
The lesson of Libya was not lost on Russia and China, but was unfortunately on 13 other collaborator countries who voted, in essence, to approve of American domination and aggression.
When someone can prove the statements, that the Syrian deaths are actually films made in Qatar, prove it rather than simply say it as though it were true, I will be more than ready to listen.
In a world where every child has an IPhone, and email or upload capability though many Arab nations are restrictive and not at all free, I still expect evidence. Thus far, no evidence of any substance, though we are dealing with a news agency with full access to all of Syria, has come forward.
If you have it, if no military action has been perpetrated against civilians in Syria and you can prove it, please do. You do not do it here and have not yet done it.
Even Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News turned out live video in Tripoli with bullets going everywhere, actual quality journalism, obviously not staged.
Why can’t Pravda send satellite TV crews through Syria, to the front lines and talk to people among those who they tell us are not rebels and have us hear, first hand, how it is all being invented.
There was nothing correct in the resolution that was clearly one-sided, totally oblivious to the reality on the ground that Syria is under siege from without by foreign terrorist elements, armed and agitated by the west.
Russia and China refused to become part of the problem, which is western interference and bullying.
The resolutions on Libya merely called for a no-fly zone and the west so bastardized the wording that they turned it into an excuse for regime change, bombing the living daylights out of Libya, destroying its environment, infrastructure and civilian population, totally depopulating at least two cities, the ethnic cleansing of its black population, the rape of its women, seizure of its oil, use of illegal weaponry and a ground invasion.
Thousands of foreign troops have invaded Libya. They armed one side and denied the necessities of life to the other. How balanced is that? How just and fair is that?
There are no foreign troops in Libya. You just shot yourself in the foot, making statements where several million people all failed to film one second of video or a single photograph. The nation of Stalin now attacks the nation of Hitler.
Hitler is dead but do we now have proof that Stalin is alive and well? Seemingly so it seems.
How Hitlerian is that?
One can only say to Ms. Rice and her cohorts: Enough! You lose! You stink! Go to hell! Enough of your duplicitous hypocrisy and lies.
Lisa Karpova
Pravda.Ru
This diatribe of occasional truth mixed with propaganda and childish fantasy has moved around the world. What has it really done? It discredits those who seek the truth. Yes, we know the west has tried to undermine Assad.
We also know most of his own people would chop him to bits if they got a hold of him, same as with Gaddafi who you also defend.
We also know Assad made peace with Israel long ago, as did Mubarak and Gaddafi and Russia, who used Israel to spy on America for decades during the Cold War, a Russia that we now are increasingly finding to still be the Soviet Union of old.
Yes, America lies, Russia lies, China lies and the Gulf states are puppets with no respect for human freedom.
We also know Pravda lies.
All lies are equal, all enslave men, attempt to use and mislead for evil purpose, in this case, to enslave on behalf of the Soviet Regime which is alive and well in the Oligarchs and their Israeli and Neocon friends.We watch and learn.
With access none of us have, with endless funds, with the ability to move anywhere in Syria, segments of uncut film would have been nice.
[Editors Note: Dear Pravda. This Syria thing has been going on a long time. Where have you been hiding the foreign mercenaries captured in Syria for display to the Western media...You know, the confession videos?...Jim Dean]
Our mistrust goes much further than Assad and Israel and Pravda or the Americans and their puppets in the Gulf. We are all sick of lies.
New ones only make it worse. If Assad has a story to tell, I have a film crew, a passport and no fear of being shot at. Invite Veterans Today. We have the “stones” to do what is needed and the reputation. We are hated by all the right people.
We have been on the correct side every time. This is because we work from information, from truth and not for profit.
No, send me no money, no new car, I have no private charity paying me 2 million a year like others around me. We don’t have a side other than reporting the truth, something we can’t afford in Syria, something that makes me feel

Great. Here he goes again. Will someone please dig up qadaffi so Duff can shoot him in the head once more?
Maybe Gaddafi trod on Gordon Duff’s tortoise when he was a kid.
Please Gordon explain the July 1st rally in Tripoli where around 1/3 of the Libyan population came out to support Gaddafi, I’ve never heard a rational one.
we can’t, your imaginary 100,000 marines are in the way
perhaps ghosts of some other time
are there 50,000 total marines? that many?
bring me film of cynthia mckinney’s 100,000 marines in either libya then she claimed malta
records show we have 800 in region with 400 more stationed outside stuttgart
maybe these are cynthia’s personal “flying monkey” marines….like the Al Qaeda she loved to talk about.
It seems that George Soros has been financing ‘open society’ groups and ‘democracy’ schools in all the countries affected by the ‘Arab Spring’. These groups comprise initially of lawyers and ‘intellectuals.’ Soros apparently hates nation states and wishes to see ‘World Governance’. (Governance, that is, by HIM and his kind I assume – no doubt he would suddenly be against it if the PLO were to be put in charge!).
http://mailstar.net/Soros-Chomsky-R2P.html
This is what may have led some to smell a rat and suspect that these groups were the seeds planted to instigate an uprising. Soros is one of the people behind the new R2P – (Responsibility to Protect) rules foisted on the UN. This gives the zionist crime syndicate a legal loophole to intervene anywhere they want. All they need is an uprising and control of the media to misrepresent and blacken the name of the regime if necessary.
Dear Gordon,
I cite Egypt, where the Military Government has only recently reared up on its hind legs, flashed its cojones and placed 43 employees of various “NGOs” on trial for activities inimical to the unity and security of Egypt.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2012-02-05/egypt-americans-trial/52970420/1
AND
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/egypt/9064493/Egypt-names-American-NGO-workers-facing-trial.html
This pretty well describes how the CIA and the Mossad are working in the Middle East to exploit political parties, opposition parties, tribal and regional differences, staged black flag terrorist attacks, and other violent events to disrupt and destroy incumbent governments and render them dysfunctional and helpless against further Israeli and Mossad penetration, and ultimate control of neighboring Islamic States whom they claim to be threats to their security, a ruse to “justify” expanding the limitless frontiers of Eretz Israel in compliance with the plans outlined by Theo Herzl and Idod Yinon.
The Ray Davis contractors of the CIA and the Mossad operate not only in Pakistan… they are ubiquitous and exist deeply embedded in the culture of almost all ME Arab States, and particularly in those in which we find current discord and “Arab Springs.” The only thing which makes Ray Davis different from these other shadowy characters was that he screwed up badly when he let the situation get far enough out of hand that he had to do some public shooting himself, and he got caught with the smoking gun in hand.
They are simply using nicey-nicey words, or is it merely the current Western Government/MSM Euphemism of the Day, when they describe Spies, Saboteurs, Assassins and CIA/Mossad Terrorists as “… employees of non-profit NGOs?”
Expect to see more of the same in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon, and many other places in Africa as we have already seen in Iraq, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya and Iran… wherever you hear of “terrorist” activities.
The “NGO employees” on trial in Egypt are fortunate. Not too many years ago Spies and Saboteurs were hanged whenever and wherever they ere caught out.
Debbie, you made some excellent comments. There’s is a lot I could say about Israel’s role in these Middle East problems but I just want to mention again that I don’t believe NATO attacked Libya for humanitarian reasons. Libya had a central bank owned by the government, the banksters don’t like that, Libya also had a government operated economy and the banksters don’t like that. I don’t know if its true but I’ve read due to rival groups fighting each other some parts of Libya are a mess.
Regarding Libya, from an article:
Elkaber, previously deputy CEO at the Arab Banking Corporation in London, replaced Gassem Azzoz as head of the central bank a month ago, officials of the governing National Transitional Council said.
“The IMF and World Bank have a roadmap and I would like to go ahead with the facelift. We need a strong central bank.
He said he hoped the influence of international organizations would help shape a new Libyan model of banking, and the groundwork had already been laid by IMF and World Bank over the previous 2-3 years.
Brian: They probably laid the groundwork to reform the Libyan central bank 2 to 3 years ago because they and their friends were setting the stage to attack Gaddafi, take over the central bank and prevent the Gold dinar from becoming the currency of Africa. Elkeber let the cat out of the bag. The new currency may not have been successful but they were not going to take a chance.
The IMF provides loans to a nation and makes demands of the government which crush the people. The plan includes intensionally destroying an economy in order to get control of a nation and profits for banksters and corporations and leave the nation in a worse economic situation than before the nation got the loans. This has happened all over the world.
True Brian.
John Laughland: ‘Russia won’t buy bogus NATO Syria line’ [Paris, RT]
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bj6qWo0BwbQ#!
John Laughland is a British eurosceptic conservative journalist, an academic and author who writes on international affairs and political philosophy. Laughland has a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Oxford, studied at Munich University, and has been a lecturer at the Sorbonne and at the Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris. He also holds the French post-doctoral degree, the ‘habilitation,’ for his work on sovereignty in international relations.
yes,…..as you say, the CIA always ran Libya, Egypt, worked with Israel and now we are working to establish when Assad joined the gang
5 years ago maybe?
Check out the article by Mark Glenn called ” an offer you cant refuse” n the sott.net site that had this interesting summation in the body of the article about Israels point of view on Iran….
“Best get busy bubba gettin’ those boots on the ground in Iran or we are going to have one of our subs parked right off your coast send you a little ‘shock and awe’ of your own that’ll then be blamed on ‘the Ayrabs’ by our cousins who own your media lock, stock and barrel, at which point whatever reservations you might have about attacking Iran will be drowned out in a chorus of absolute pandemonium in your own country that’ll make the chaos of 9/11 seem like the Sound of Music.”
I read some days ago on PressTV.ir and Russia Today that Qatari and British Troops are operating from the ground in “Hotspots” like Baba Amr , al-Khalidiyah etc. The interesting point is that they both based their articles on a report of the Mossad-linked Debka.com.
Yesterday al-Qaeda made a public statement saying that they support the revolution in Syria.
So now all these experts are coming out and are trying to tell me: “Look, the West is again supporting al-Qaeda like they did in Lybia, we all told you before!!!”
Seems to me like a very nice plot to undermine the opposition legitimacy in Syria.
So why is a Israeli know site like debka.com spreading rumors which help Assad and the Syrian Regime and their credibility. Maybe Israel and Syria have another relationship than the one they act in public. Maybe Israel actually wants Assad to stay in power because he kept being quiet about the occupied Golan Heights?
The Syria issue is pretty clear. The overwhelmingly majority wants Assad to resign. The regime is willing to do everything possible to stay in power and they are lying and lying and were caught doing so many times in the past months.
Some examples:
1)The so-called millions welcoming the russian delegation a few days ago: http://twitter.com/#!/ArabSpringFF/status/167351220913184769/photo/1
2)So-called “smuggling tunnels in homs” used by “terrorists to smuggle weapons” turned out to be indian sewage pipes: http://twitter.com/#!/ArabSpringFF/status/165373035073908736/photo/1
3) An alleged conversation between Obama and Sarkozy hacked by Syrian “experts” turned out to be a simple conversation which was held in public. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=2363745831532 http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2011/04/obama-no-big-move-toward-democracy-in-qatar/1
5) State Tv keeps saying there are no protests and film certain town areas while the soldiers and shabeeha and hiding behind them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXAwe5mx-0A&context=C3c6a83bADOEgsToPDskLNdoYQOB3InEqKgAIN3Yzh
Of course there is now an armed resistance which attacks certain army checkpoints and defends the population but that does not justify the usage of ground-to-ground missiles at the civilian population like this one: http://twitter.com/#!/ArabSpringFF/status/167582776885903360/photo/1
Where are the terrorists in this video? Or is Maher al Assad brother of Dictator Bashar al Assad just shooting at demonstrators? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVe6tj_BxnY
The US, Israel, Al Qaeda and a British led coalition of European wannabees trying to topple a brutal dictator in Syria who has the backing of Russia, Iran and indirectly China. Israel is savoring over the possibility of regime change and the annexation at a later date of all of Syria as per “Biblical Prophecy”. The US and the British look at Syria as a necessary step in controlling all in the middle east and completing the encirclement of Russia and China as a positive side effect. Al Qaeda is in on the ‘fun and games’ because they are stooges or to put it another way Mossad assets. Beyond this simplification, I do not pretend to understand what on earth in going on in Syria.
all news from internet pundits
thus
crap
Only to put in one argument, which americans are not using so much as we europeans did (some of them till now), what I mean is the souvereign rights of a country, which are guaranteed by international laws.
Lets put away the for a moment all the rumors about who is causing the struggle to it’s main parts. Lets ask another question here: Why does this all happen now, exactly now?
There could be two answers:
1. Because major parts of the syrian population want to get rid of the current government and get a better one (perhaps with some real form of democracy).
2. Because major forces outside of Syria wanted to use the opportunity to work through their own agenda, which has nothing to do with democracy in the first place.
If we want to look deeper into the first case, we have to learn something about syrian history, about its society, its religion, about the Baath party, their ideology, its foundation in the society and so on.
The second possibility leeds us to a whole bunch of political actors. Gordon already named the US, Russia and Israel as well, I would add Lebanon and Iran as another part of the game and more and more the EU states, which heavily pushed the UNO resolution.
From the perspective of the souvereign syrian rights under international law, the first case seems quite clear to me: No outside country has the right – under these very laws – to intervene into Syria with any kind of military force.
The second case is even more clear, if other countries actually do intervene militarily, they violate the souvereign rights of Syria and also international law.
Now, who cares about international law anymore? And the next question, arising from this is: If nooen really cared about it, are we going back to brute force politics? That’s, what the world was suffering under for much too long.
My last question here is this: Is there any country/group who are seriously interested in a peaceful solution (no civil war / war and an internal agreement, which helps to develop the country and give a democratic and peaceful outlook for the future)?
God bless Assad!!! In the words of Czar Putin I…” prepare for Armageddon!! And may Syria, Russia, Iran and Pakistan ( and hopefully Egypt ) zero in and send the Zio-bastards where they belong ( NY and Ca and Fla )! And may Gen Michel Aoun become the new boss in Lebanon…
The zionists play both sides, every time. It’s the only way they can assure control “on the ground” as their useful idiot Ms. Rice would say. We know they’ve been propping up Assad for a few years now and the only question is whether the “opposition” has any legitimacy, popular support, or is entirely staged.
Assad should have gotten Saddam out of Iraq..He could have..Saddam should be giving interviews in Damascus right now..talking about the over one million Iraqis killed, the refugees he’s met in Syria, the poisoning of the country…but I don’t blame Assad for not fighting Talmudia directly: you simply can’t fight the Whore of Babylon w/o nukes up your sleeve bc they won’t take defeat….So unless you can line up Pakistan as an ally…or get Russian troops in Syria ( the implication being…..)…
Agreed.
You’re right G..Libya should have made a sweet oil deal w/China in exchange for a military alliance ( Chinese air field and SAMs ) a long time ago…Should have ditched the neo-cons who made him the patsy for the disco-tech bombing and Pan Am 103….But it really bothers me that the Legions of Judeo-Masonry and it’s branch chapters ( hello Gov Romney ) have been laughing themselves sick over 1. the 9-11 false flag 2. the killing of civilians in Afghanistan and the killing of Taliban POWs when kept in those box cars..2. running over Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer..4. Murdering over a million Iraqis incl the last legitimate ruler of Iraq: Saddam Hussein R.I.P..5. Operation Cast Lead 6. The ’06 bombing of Lebanon 7. The murder of Pat Tillman….Enough! It’s Israel’s turn to hurt..and I’d sure like to see some Americans in uniform switch sides and take-out Talmudia’s Air Force and nukes on the ground.
Oh this is rich,,the leader of the mythical “Al-Quaeda” ( ” I’ll make the video when I see the suitcase filled with money”-Ayman Al-Zawhiri ) urged the Muslim world to support the “resistance” ( thugs for hire ) in Syria…
It was a knife and a bullet to the head..and the neo-con thugs over at thewesternexperience thought he “got off easy”…They probably think the unarmed civilians in Haditha “got off easy” too…
Mr. Duff, the poison pill common to the AK is the 5.45×39.5mm. Stories out of Afghanistan, the round delivers serious wounds, much more than outright kills. 7.62x39mm also found in select fire weapons, such as AK-less wound capacity, but more outright lethal. You faced this round in Nam.
Both rounds designed and loaded by the big Russian arsenals, also loaded by China.
Last shot in video shows men on a roof-one is clearly sporting a folding stock AK, other not clear-possibly SKS????
No, not representative, one single shot of a few frames, but shows for certain that Soviet small arms are being deployed.
Date on the vid is 11-13-201?
All that shooting and no one seems to be injured.
Well dressed armed persons. Are they shooting blanks?
What a show
Where is my comment? It has disappeared today.

Cyrus, you don’t know shit, or you’re payed. I won’t even respond to Al CIADUH being in favor and how you don’t get it. What, $400 a week?

Right Gordon..We should destroy another arab country…This time the excuse won’t be “WMD”..it will be “giving the people a govt that will serve their needs” Like we have in America?..Afghanistan? A destroyed narco-state….Iraq? A poisoned, depopulated, ravaged, dismembered country….Libya? A total wreck…Of course maybe the next adventure will turn out better.. I’m rooting for Assad because he’s a Syrian who has never left Syria-in charge of Syria..Period…Yeah, we should support the Islamists bc Assad’s a ” secret friend of Israel”? And the opposition are real arabs? Who will give Talmudia a good slap down? After we help them destroy Syria? I can’t buy that..
New found respect for ya Bill. Nailed it, I guess you don’t make money writting narratives?
The “Cassandra Complex” is the reason for Americas delusional thinking, we’ve been force fed so much propaganda that even when one can prove without a shadow of doubt that the popular narrative is false the average American still won’t believe the facts – we’re a nation which is suffering from Zionist induced Stockholm Syndrome.
It’s pretty obvious who is responsible for the diet of disinformation Americans are fed, the media in the U.S. is completely controlled by the Jews. The Zionists have inserted their sick concepts of money and power into every profession that matters in the U.S. – we are a puppet nation

I’m a big fan Gordon but this article really threw me for a loop. I’ve made an effort to gather as much information on Libya and Syria as I can. It was Ret. Gen. Wesley Clark’s interview with Amy Goodman on March 2, 2007 in which he explained that the Bush Administration planned to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Lybia, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran that got my attention. I also found info going back as far as the late 50′s for plans by the UK and US targeting Syria. Globalresearch.ca is one of my favorite sites for international developments regarding geopolitics and globalization. I follow a blog called Libya Against Super Power Media and my heart aches for the pro Gaddafi forces fighting everyday against the atrocious activities of the NTC and NATO “rats”. I believe there will be a big uprising on the 17th as announced by Al-Saadi Gaddafi from Niger. I’ve seen footage of Gaddafi in a modest vehicle in the streets of Libya cheered on by his people. What leader can do that without protection? It is reported that Gaddafi was nominated in an Amnesty International poll as a human rights champion. It is also claimed that there is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.
There is no interest on loans, banks in Libya are state-owned and loans given to all its citizens at zero percent interest by law.
Having a home considered a human right in Libya.
All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent.
Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms are all for free.
If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.
the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price.
The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally.
If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession, as if he or she is employed, until employment is found.
Aportion of every Libyan oil sale is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
A mother who gives birth to a child receive U.S.$5,000.
40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $0.15.
25 percent of Libyans have a university degree.
Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project, known as the Great Manmade River project, to make water readily available throughout the desert country. I’ve seen this posted a few times on various sites and of course there is the issue of Gaddafi proposing the sale of oil in gold only. Syria: I’ve seen tremendous pro-Assad demonstrations and I follow a few pro Assad Syrians on twitter and Facebook. New reforms and a new draft of the Constitution have been presented. As a sovereign country and a key figure in the road to Iran, how can I doubt that the US, France, UK, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar aren’t conspiring against the regime and purposefully creating destabilization? Also recall Zbigniew BrzezinskiGrand Chessboard. Lizzie Phelan is another source who actually went to Syria to report and she has a blog as well. I really enjoyed Bashar Ja’afari’s speech at the UN today. It made alot of sense. I don’t claim that all of this information is fact but I am extremely opposed to foreign intervention in Syria. I believe their population is 23 million and Arab polling showed Assad’s approval at 55%. The full Arab League report stated that the Syrians did not want foreign intervention and it confirmed attacks by rebel forces, so who is arming and funding them? Photos and video footage of Assad’s massacre has not been proven to be valid to me as the footage is close up shots of wounded people that could have been filmed anywhere, at anytime. What about Israel’s treatment of Palestine? Syrians despise that.In concustion, Webster Tarpley has visited Syria as well and has done good reporting. I don’t know what to believe.
Don’t try. He’s just going to kill his conscience and then turn around and call you an israeli stooge and a shill.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-17013987
“Bombers have targeted staff at Israeli embassies in India and Georgia, officials say, with Israel accusing Iran of masterminding the attacks.”
===
It is a no-brainer to figger out who did it whenever a bomb goes off.
Just who’s MO is car bombing?
Cui bono? Now, just how would Iran benefit by setting off bombs in Israeli autos in India?
How would India benefit? How would Israel benefit? How would their ally and accomplice the US benefit?
What value the lives of a few minor diplos or secretaries? Everyone has to be ready to make sacrifices or be sacrificed in the service of their country, ne?
Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers or see on the Telly.
yep its a popular revolt.
some people wants to believe the assads clan is good.
no, it isnt.
they just have a soft spot for syria thinking that because it is on irans side – iran who is confronting america and israel – then it must be good.
the syrian goverment
is a criminal, murderous entity.
you need to live there and see their treatment of people.
no rush regarding the us, england and israel.
lets clean our houses first.
I would like to see Assad put through reforms to make his country better, but I would put money on the guys in place below Assad not wanting any reforms.
I would also like to see a government in Syria that continues to be backed by Russia because if it isn’t then Syria will be invade by Israel.
Syria is in the middle of a polital football with the West/Israel on one side and the Russians/Chinese etc on the other. I personally sit on the West’s side but I do not want another country in the Middle East that can be picked off and attacked by Israel the way they are treating the Palestinians.
I picked up on something in an article recently, it said that Israel did not want Iran to get its ‘nuclear’ areas to a stage where Israel would have to rely on the US to attack it, if required. In other word’s Israel thinks there is only a short window of opportunity where it can take out Iran nuclear energy plants by itself, after that point it is reliant on the US. Personally I think it is in our interests to have Israel reliant on the US as this ensures that the dog has control over its tail, rather than letting the tail wag the dog.
Once again Russia is exposed as the only power in the world that is fighting fascism…..ahem, besides Iran, Syria, and ohhh Lybia, but the Lybian bretheren fought Qaddafi because they weren’t happy according to Duff? Fppppt. Horseshit. The difference between Lybia and Syria is, Russia beat the reporters (liars) to the truth and preserved the right to expose the lies by not allowing fake reporting and a bombing campaign. Go back and look at what really happened in Lybia. The Lybians allowed filming anywhere they wanted to go, only to find it was the reporters that were inciting sword play with the inhabitants and filming it. To quote Duff when he calls someone a liar, “to a man, payed”. Yeah, you heard me. It’s allllllllllll comming out now. And we were right, it was all BS..
To hear Duff say ” we were all sitting around saying, “could this be an actual true rebellion for the people, by the people?” Or some other dredged crap. Cmon, the evidence is out there folks, get it for yourself.
