Great post Bro, but I like this better: “Israel Steals Syria”
HOORAY!
Daniel Penny acquitted in NYC subway choke hold case after jury finds him not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
The black Negro psychotic life-threatening thug got what it asked for.
Black jew Zionist Israeli bought New York DA prosecutor of course makes a comment how Blacks can’t get justice.
Soros-bought lead prosecutor in Penny case secured light sentence for thug who killed an 87-year-old in ATM robbery.
As usual, I have been following the people that Judge Napolitano features. For the most part they know their stuff. I beleive 90% of what they say but nobody is perfect.
The main thing that bugs me about most of them is that they really seem to believe that Al Qaeda hatched 9/11 when its as clear as the nose on your face that at most Al Qaeda wwas a collection of box cutting patsies, and that it really was Israel that formally declared war on the United States by murdering almost 3,000 innocent Americans.
Murdering the innocent is a jewish thing. They are doing it again in Gaza and Lebanon. As untermenchen, it comes easily to them.
I assume the reason Judge Napolitano’s team does this, unlike Dr. Alan Sabrosky (Viet Nam & US Military college), Gordon Duff (Viet Nam combat vet), Jim Deane, and Colonel Henke (Viet Nam combat vet), is because:
1) Admitting Israel did it means they all stood down when the time came to obey their oath of office to defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic.
2) Doing so would have the judge taken of the air immediately.
Synagogue of Satan Owns Trump and His Administration
Placing two hardcore Zionist neocon Jews, Brian Hook and Howard Lutnick, in charge of his admin transition team headhunting kosher Jew loyalists with input from Chabad son-in-law Jared Kushner, should have clued us in where we’re fast headed, straight to an all-out Jewish State war against Islam.
Safe while Syria burns
Just a very quick update
Vanessa Beeley
Dec 10
-More than 350 Israeli airstrikes targeting Syrian territory in the past hours, and an enemy Israeli occupation of Syrian territory equivalent to twice the size of the Gaza Strip, and their army is less than 40 km away from the capital Damascus.-
After a rather turbulent 48 hours I am safe and will be writing and broadcasting as normal very shortly. I had one hour to pack one suitcase, take one dog and get through a border swarming with armed thugs looting and fighting amongst themselves over the spoils.
The night before was spent besieged by armed groups firing in the air to celebrate their “victory” while Israel started using bunker buster bombs on Syrian military sites and air defence close to the house. The house shook from top to bottom.
At 10am truckloads of armed thieves arrived and battered at my front gate. I was on the phone to a friend who begged me to find a weapon – clearly I don’t have any. I yelled at them from inside and the dogs went crazy. After three batterings they left.
Much more to recount over the coming days. Social media is a mess of lies, misinformation and downright hypocrisy. Thank you to everyone who emailed and messaged, it really lifted my spirits at an all-time low.
I wrote this note this morning. I need a long time to process the loss for the whole world and for me as a human being who saw my future living in my beloved Syria.
Anyone who can explain why Assad’s pre-recorded farewell speech and possible explanation of the catastrophic events was not aired, as planned, after he left the country, please get in touch.
All the backstabbers who are now turning against Assad, protecting their interests – you were in a position to say something for 14 years. Why didn’t you?
I don’t blame any of the ordinary people for adopting the new era. People in Syria are isolated and afraid, some are terrified.
The mainstream media vultures are flooding in to claw at the corpse of one of the oldest civilisations in the world. History will be revised as it always is – by the victor.
If only the Victor were genuinely Syrian and grass roots, not a terrorist force incubated in #CIA black sites and empowered by Israel and the collective Western alliance of callous hegemony.
Syria will become a toothless melting pot of foreign interests, resource looting and expanding Zionist land grab. A nation without an army and without any military infrastructure is not a nation. It’s a playing field for the predators.
This is a record of Israeli strikes so far against Syrian military and defence infrastructure:
A squadron of 30 Israeli aircraft over Syria strikes military installations and air defense.
– Israeli Air Force targeted the headquarters of the Electronic Warfare Administration near Al-Bahdaliyah, adjacent to the city of Sayyida Zeinab in Damascus countryside.
– Israel bombed scientific research centers in Barzeh in Damascus, the 47th Brigade in Hama, and the helicopter airport in Aqraba.
– Israeli airstrikes on Yafour area in the countryside of Damascus..
– Israeli warplanes bomb the ship port in Latakia. According to reports, the attacks targeted military ships anchored in the port.
Israel is exploiting the collapse of the state in Syria and is destroying all the strategic capabilities of the Syrian army to prevent anyone from benefiting from them in the future to rebuild a strong army
Israeli warplanes have become capable of entering Syrian airspace and using bunker-busting bombs
Israel has destroyed all Syrian air defense bases and military airports and is now intensively targeting ballistic missile warehouses and weapons factories.
Houses in Damascus are shaking due to the intensity of successive Israeli air strikes
Dozens of Israeli airstrikes are now being carried out in various parts of Syria
Israeli raids on Qamishli airport in northeastern Syria
Israeli airstrikes on Jableh on the Syrian coast
Israel renewed its airstrikes on Aqraba military airport in Damascus countryside and the Shinshar area south of Homs
Israeli airstrikes on Basil Al-Assad military airport in Jableh.

In recent days, the media and channels of the Syrian opposition have been massively posting photos and videos of Damascus prisons, among which the Sednaya military prison occupies a special place.
Some of the photos and videos from there are quite harsh content: both supporters of militants and people simply objectionable to the Mukhabarat were kept there. Some have been there since the 80s, under Hafez al-Assad. [Surely, what is meant is that some of the photos date to the 80s
The corpses of recently murdered people are piled up in a heap, somewhere there are shoes left over from them, as in the best traditions of concentration camps.
We can safely assume that all this is slander and intrigues of the Turkish and other media, that everything is faked, but the fact that during the offensive of the militants, not a single layer of the population expressed support for Bashar al-Assad, and the army fled, speaks volumes.

Surely, what is meant in translation is that some of the photos date to the 80s. And the fresh corpses are in white shrouds, badly mangled and still oozing blood, quite possibly SAA soldiers or takfiri killed in fighting. There were intense clashes the first couple of days, especially outside of Hama.
There is also no proof that these piled up, shrouded corpses were at Sednaya Prison. It could have been a morgue or a holding room from anywhere. -Kj

Representation of Russian Orthodox Church in Damascus not damaged because of events in Syria
The ministers and the building of the representative office of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Damascus were not damaged during the events in Syria, its head, the representative of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia to the Patriarch of Antioch, Archimandrite Philip (Vasiltsev), told RIA Novosti.
“By God’s mercy, the representation of the Russian Orthodox Church in Damascus did not suffer… The mission did not have direct interaction with the forces controlling the city.
“In the area where the representative office is located, the situation is relatively calm. There is water, electricity and weak Internet,” the archimandrite told RIA Novosti on Monday, answering questions about whether the mission was damaged and whether there were casualties among its employees or parishioners.

Armed terrorists shot dead the wounded soldiers of the Syrian army after occupying a hospital in Aleppo province.

[Addendum: Lord of War TG reported this as “War within NATO: pro-Turkish and pro-American forces clash in Syria:
A video of the execution of wounded soldiers by representatives of the Syrian armed opposition is being published on the Internet. As military TG channels suggest, they turned out to be representatives of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Before the execution there followed a short interrogation:
« – Who are you? Are you from the army? How long have you been fighting?
– What we could do, we had to
– And you? From the army or the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party)?
– From the self-defense forces, border guard.”
It is reported that the incident occurred in the city of Manbij, where in recent days there have been battles between pro-Turkish opposition forces and Arab militias from US-backed SDF

As usual, even in the presence of actual proof to brutality and injustice some feel the need to exaggerate and lie to further shock the world and gain sympathy. There are no secret basements in Sednaya and the numbers are highly exaggerated. This doesn’t help at all

“Syrian Civil Defense” is White Helmets, the photo is of an Al Jazeera tweet. Al Jazeera is state-funded, based in Qatar which has always been for ‘Syrian Civil Rights,’ pro- DEI jihadist headchoppers, and anti-Assadist, with a strong bias for reporting only good things the ‘Syrian Rebels’ or the ‘Syrian Opposition’ in this long dirty war regime change operation.
White Helmets Propaganda Productions came up with zilch in the way of a shred of media evidence they could get away with to push their atrocity porn of secret prison dungeons and basements, and were forced to say so to Al Jazeera.
Most of the time when reporting on anything else but Assad’s Syria, Al Jazeera reporting is pretty good. But for years, Al Jazeera also elevated the ‘Syrian Opposition’ and subtly demeaned President al-Assad. -Kj

@afshinrattansi
Propaganda media outlets in NATO countries are continuously repeating that 90% of Syrians lived in poverty by the end of Bashar Al-Assad’s rule…
What they won’t tell you is the US occupied the area of Syria with most of its oil and gas fields, and systematically looted these oil and gas reserves for years, which in turn denied Assad’s government vital revenue to sustain the Syrian economy and created chronic fuel shortages-paralysing the economy.
On top of this, they won’t mention the crippling sanctions either, which has been a popular tool in the regime change toolkit for the US, to create conditions so unbearable that leads to a population turning against their government as the desperation grows.

The 2023 Turkey-Syria 7.8 Earthquake was probably the kiss of death to Syria’s already dire economic situation in that the Assad government had to commit what little money there was to earthquake disaster relief and infrastructure repairs in northern Syria, especially in the city of Aleppo.
So far as I know, the total economic blockade of Syria also prevented any significant international disaster relief and recovery aid as well, further depressing already meager government coffers. Without access to Syria’s own gas and oil fields, Assad’s government had to limp along with diminished fuel supplies needed for energy production and energizing the nation’s electrical grid. -Kj

Reports of Syrian soldiers being hunted down and killed in Damascus.
HTS militants entering neighborhoods and going house to house confiscating IDs.
When ISIS entered Mosul with help from Turkiye and Masoud Barzani’s KDP in 2014, they told all the members of the police and army they had nothing to fear if they ‘repent’ and turn themselves in.
Over the next weeks, they carried out several large massacres against the soldiers and police, who were all Sunni Arabs.
Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, who was the Emor of the Islamic State of Iraq in Mosul in 2008 and dispatched to Syria in 2011 by ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is now ruling Damascus.

I won’t post the the clip of the “inclusive” DEI takfiri goons murdering children in their beds in I believe Deir Ezzor.
Israel has bombarded and nearly dismantled 50% of Syria’s military and research infrastructure. Meanwhile, Tahrir al-Sham terrorist groups have arrived at the Syria-Iraq border to cut off Lebanon and impose checkpoints, which may eventually turn into execution pits for Lebanese resistance groups or their supporters.
There are reports that Syria’s entire intelligence command has been bombed. Massive clashes are erupting across Syria, with internal fights between various micro-groups intensifying which we may increase.
Israel has captured hundreds of [square] kilometers of territory, a move likely to be part of a larger land-gifting strategy through ceaseless tactics that are currently underway. Additionally, U.S. reconnaissance planes are surveying northern Iraq, 11,000 ISIS members have been trained over the last four years in the northern Iraq. These forces are expected to launch attacks on Mosul or Tikrit in the coming months.
In Syria, Manbij has been occupied by Turkish-backed terrorists. Four days ago, the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army initiated an operation to seize Manbij and its surrounding areas. Reports indicate that Turkish militants have successfully taken control of the city.
Turkish army drones played a critical role in supporting the SNA, conducting numerous attacks on Manbij and its outskirts, particularly targeting the Qarah Qawzaq Bridge to block Syrian Democratic Forces reinforcements. These strikes effectively cut off the SDF’s supply route, leaving them unable to defend the city long-term. Sporadic clashes continue between remaining SDF elements and SNA militants, but Kurdish media and authorities from Syrian Kurdistan have confirmed the SNA’s victory in Manbij.

I believe by ‘chain operation’ is meant murder operations being carried out which resemble the chain murders of Iran, a series of 1988–98 murders and disappearances of certain Iranian dissident intellectuals who had been critical of the Islamic Republic system.
Murders and disappearances were carried out by Iranian government internal operatives, and they were referred to as “chain murders” because they appeared to be linked to each other while being killed by different methods.
The victims included more than 80 writers, translators, poets, political activists, and ordinary citizens.
Exactly what sort of purging the Mossad, and Turkey–HTS’ security apparatus would conduct, in the footsteps of the Bolsheviki who mass murdered Russian elites, professionals, scientists, educators, academics, and intellectuals by the thousands.
And I almost forgot, along with the destruction of military, security-intel and scientific infrastructure, US and Israel are no doubt repeating their scenario of targeting scientific elite in Syria as they did in Iraq after the US invasion. -Kj

In Canada the Trudeau government has announced its plan to fight crime by confiscating more than 300 more types of guns, from law abiding citizens.
They intend to send the guns to Ukraine to be used by the unelected jewish organized crime government for the purpose of murdering Russians.
Only a Liberal could come up with the idea of using the guns whose owners never intended for them to kill people, then be used by a jewish organized crime government to kill people.
In WW2 Canadians sent many hunting rifles to Britain for the Home Guard but it was voluntary and none were ever returned.
Since the Ukraine is run by Jewish organized crime, you can be certain the weapons will eventually be sold to the criminals via the black market.
This is not different than America’s former Attorney General, Eric Holder, providing the Mexican drug cartels with high-grade lethal weapons.
Ted Gorsline,
Thanks from a fellow Canadian for your excellent comment.
I watch Brother Nathanael who is a great replacement for the TV I used to watch.
My father, a deceased veteran and a lawyer, hid our guns when Pierre started restricting them. I have no idea where they are.
I voted for Trudeau twice: I had no idea what I was actually voting for. I have jumped ship.
I had a few email exchanges with his wife. I suspect she was recruiting ‘Young Influencers’ for Klaus Schwab. Justin is one Klaus’s moles. So is Freeland. I don’t recall voting for Klaus. The more we know, the worse it gets.
From Seymour Hersh
“had been told earlier by persons in the US intelligence community that Syria, then led by Bashar Assad—the son of Hafez Assad, who had collaborated with Henry Kissinger during the Nixon administration—had become one of America’s best intelligence sources in the fight against Al Qaeda.
“Ironically, Syria had been on the State Department terrorism list since 1979 and was considered by the Bush administration to be a sponsor of state terrorism. At one point, the nation was publicly named by the White House to be a junior member of its infamous “Axis of Evil” while it was providing much valued intelligence to the CIA.”

@Stuart Green
The guns Trudeau has just banned are called assault weapons for cosmetic reasons. They are not much good in battle and the Ukraine he is going to give them to is definitely run by jewish organized crime led by the wanted Oligarch Mr. Kolomoisky.
Those guns will never be used against the Russian army but will be sold to criminals and terrorists on the black market just like 1/3 of the military weapons provided by Nato countries have already been sold on the black market.
Trudeau has confiscated guns from law abiding citizens and has handed them over to criminals who will sell them to their fellows to rob and murder people just like they are now selling body parts from the war dead and leading huge numbers of women into prostitution because their men are dead and they have children to support.
Justin Trudeau, like his gay father, is one of the most worthless human beings ever to draw the breath of life. Pierre was treacherous and did more damage to Canada than any other single person. Justin is just stupid.

Dr. Gilbert Doctorow creeps me out perhaps by accident.
He always positions the screen he is taking to low down, so he comes across as if he is talking and looking down at you, like those statues dictators erect to themselves.
Nima and just about everyone else keeps the screen level with their faces, which makes them seem a lot more reasonable and less egotistical.

Bro, you need to have on your show Dr. Sabrosky!
I’ve been pleading with Judge Nap for two years but gave up.
He and his guests never mention jewish supremacist control of America, let alone mention the word jews.
It’s shocking as well as disgusting! America has become an Orwellian Twilight Zone-like jewish otherworld police state.
And for all you ignorant Trumpers out there, know that Trumpstein is a traitor of America and a traitor of Christianity; he’s a secret member of the jewish Talmudic Christ-hating Chabad Lubavitch.
@Dave
Larry Johnson mentioned very recently ” Whether you accept or reject the 9-11 narrative that the attack was carried out by Al Qaeda (and, for the record, I do), that…” And the fact he and the gang regularly admonish the zionists, but refrain from publicly denouncing “The jew” to me smacks of chickenshit.
Mention has been made here that 9/11 is old history, and that America should move on.
Personally, I come from a stock with an unforgiving disposition in matters of Treachery, as I believe the Patriots do, like so many “Live by the Feud”.
Congrats on your assertion of “Trumpstein”.

Thanks for posting the Dr. Alan Sabrosky video. He is spot on. Gordon Duff and Jim Deane at the Intel Drop have seriously bolstered the evidence.
I like and will continue to watch all of Judge Napolitano’s guests but get creeped out by the Osama bin Ladin and similar Al Quaeda posters some of them have on their office walls.
They make box cutters seem as destructive controlled demolitions.
Judge Nap’s guests all seem to have bought into the official narrative. Maybe its just that their jobs required such a need to know boxing in that they haven’t thought about 9/11, or maybe its about keeping the pensions.
Its really obvious that Israeli jews murdered 3,000 innocent Americans on 9/11 with Neocon help and that Michael Chertoff spirited off all the dancing perps. Israel declared war on America.
I guess you could call this a bad news day and a good news day. The bad news is that Donald Rumsfeld and Henry Kissinger’s remains have not yet been dug up and dumped into the nearest sewage lagoon.
Additional bad news is that Netanyahu, Richard Pearl, Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, George Bush, Junior, and many others have not yet been dragged out of their limousines and gotten what they deserve.
The good news is there is still time.
I see by the Military Summary Channel where the unelected jewish organized crime leader of Ukraine, Vlodomyr Zalensky, has rejected a Christmas ceasefire.
I would have thought it might have given him a chance to cheer up and maybe play Silent Night on the piano.
Brother Nat,
I remember you saying somewhere that Putin’s mother, who was a Jew, was a sincere convert to Russian Orthodoxy.
But now that I see what Putin did in letting down Syria, first of all leaving the Syrian army vulnerable to bombing by Israel without permission to use Russian air defense equipment that they were supplied.
And then, finally, refusing the Russian General Staff demand to allow Syrians to shoot down Israeli planes that would make impossible the supply of Iranian troops, seeing that I wonder about the story about his mother.
Putin and the whole Russian establishment outside the General Staff are Jews – Putin, Lavrov, Medvedev. I think this was a Jewish conquest of Syria, with Putin playing his part.
Why do you think his mother was a sincere Christian?
Correct me if I’m wrong, Syed, +BN has never claimed Putin’s mother was jewish. I remember it stated as a child a jewish family helped raise young Vladimir, apparently, he never forgot that act of kindness.
Many detractors have claimed Putin is wholly or part jew.
KathJuliane has demolished that theory.
https://www.unz.com/article/the-fall-of-assad-what-it-means-for-the-middle-east-w-alastair-crooke/
@Syed
It’s hard to determine Putin’s jewishness. Jews can’t seem to make up their minds about him either: one day he’s jewish on his mother’s side. The next day he’s an “antisemite”.
What is indisputable is that he’s a politician. Plus he’s a politician who’s climbed to the top of the heap. So, he’s a sociopath… or a malignant narcissist. Looking out for number one is their life philosophy.
He might not be as bad a sociopathic world figure as some of the others, in that he takes a more patient approach to problems, but he’d drop the hammer on any of us here if it helped him.
No one should point to him as a praiseworthy man. Just less bad than some of the others.

Dear Syed Zaidi,
•I remember you saying somewhere that Putin’s mother, who was a Jew, was a sincere convert to Russian Orthodoxy.
>>Brother Nathanael has never said that.
Putin’s mother was not a Jew, and none of his ancestors were Jews on both sides of the family.
He descends from Russian Orthodox peasant serf families attached to a noble estate in the Tver Oblast, village of Turginovo, where no Jews have ever lived.
Putin’s own family lived around Turgino for 300 years, baptized in the same village church, the Veil of Protection of the Theotokos, which has maintained its metrical books registering births, deaths, marriages, etc, as well as other manor records pertaining to the estate serfs. He became interested in his family genealogy when a distant Putin cousin started working on it independently, and discovered he was related to the President of Russia, Vladimir Vladimirovich.
While his parents are buried in a Russian Orthodox cemetery in St. Petersburg, formerly Leningrad, because they moved there after WWI, all of his ancestors, particularly on the maternal side, are buried in the village church cemetery.
His parents came from different small settlements just outside of the village of Turginov, but both were baptized in the village Church of the Veil of Protection.
Putin’s highly suspicious Jewish background is the fact that growing up in a Soviet working class communal apartment house in the 50s and 60s, friendly Soviet Jewish neighbors sometimes fed him, I suppose along with their own kids, because…hungry kids.
Soviet Jews were largely secular, even atheistic, as any religious observance was discouraged, if not outright persecuted.
Everyone in those days was a comrade, and shared food resources and cooked community meals because of food shortages as well.
•But now that I see what Putin did in letting down Syria, first of all leaving the Syrian army vulnerable to bombing by Israel without permission to use Russian air defense equipment that they were supplied.
>>That never happened. Israel started their bombing campaign of all of the abandoned military bases, installations, air defense systems, etc in their target bank a couple of days AFTER the Syrian Arab Army were ordered to stand down and disband by the Syrian General Staff.
What exactly happened in the US’/Israel/Turkey dirty war/color revolution is still very confused, there’s a lot of propaganda and just plain b.s., and will take time to sort out, but the information I’ve heard so far from Iranian statements points to a major act of treason by a corrupt, dirty Syrian General Staff bribed over time by the CIA, forcing President Assad to step down.
For the first couple of days, as Al Qaeda/ISIS militants were advancing on Aleppo, then Hama, and then Homs, both the Russian Air Force and the Syrian Air Force were conducting air strikes on the advancing columns.
On the takfiri side, they were using Ukrainian-supplied drones, both the lethal kind and the grenade drones, against the SAA’s ground forces, for which the SAA armored units had no defenses. One figure floating around, I remember, is that some 700 of the SAA and the National Guard militia units had been killed.
There was actually very little that Putin could do at the moment, even if President Assad decided not to step down and order a peaceful transfer of power, and wanted to continue to fight. Stepping down was entirely President Assad’s decision, as was also leaving the country. Putin offered a military extraction rescue of President Assad and his family out of Syria, similar to what Putin had done for President Yanukovich in 2014, but he went back and forth deciding to do so until the very last minute.
However, I did read a rumor that Mrs. Assad and family had gone to Russia the week prior, but can’t confirm that. If she had, she may have done so in relation to her acute myeloid leukemia she was diagnosed with last May, and went to Moscow for more advanced treatment than what was available in Syria, the national medical and pharmaceutical industry restricted under sanctions for over 12 years.
•And then, finally, refusing the Russian General Staff demand to allow Syrians to shoot down Israeli planes that would make impossible the supply of Iranian troops, seeing that I wonder about the story about his mother.
>>Where do you get this? Russian General Staff had nothing to do with it. And, no SAA personnel was manning any of the defense systems when Israel went on their bombing spree destroying 80% of Syria’s military-industrial infrastructure.
It was apparently the corrupt Syrian Arab Army General Staff that ordered their own army to stand down and disband about the time that the Al Qaeda militants reached Homs. However, questions of how the entire SAA command structure collapsed also still need to be answered. But in any case, the IDF’s bombing campaign started well after the troops disbanded, abandoning their stations.
•Putin and the whole Russian establishment outside the General Staff are Jews – Putin, Lavrov, Medvedev. I think this was a Jewish conquest of Syria, with Putin playing his part.
>>While I agree this is a Jewish conquest of Syria, the rest is incorrect. Neither Putin, Lavrov, nor Medvedev are Jews, or have any Jewish ancestry. Mevedev is a common Russian, Belarusian, and Jewish name.
Vladimir Putin is pure ethnic Russian on both sides of the family as explained above; Lavrov’s father was an Armenian from Georgia and his mother an ethnic Russian; both Medvedev’s parents were ethnic Ukrainians. Just because a Jew has a certain last name, doesn’t mean everyone with that same last name is a Jew.
Medved is a town in Belarus where a lot of West Russians (Ukrainians) lived, and so the place name became the surname for a lot of unrelated people.
Neither Russia nor Iran had mutual defense alliance treaties with Syria. Moreover, Iran did not have any military bases in Syria. Their involvement in Syria was with the Al Quds special forces and IRGC advisors against the West’s multi-national takfiri army and regime change dirty war.
However, even with all of that, Iran stated that they could send 2 full battalions of the Iranian Army, but it would take at least two weeks, understandable given the logistics of it all. They also expressed doubt that that the SAA could hold on that long, especially the demoralization going on among the rank and file under the massive heap of propaganda and disinformation warfare launched at the Syrian people by the West.
I’m sure that had to do with what I heard later from Iranian sources that a couple of weeks ago, President Assad had confided to an Iranian official, probably an Iranian diplomat, that he had just recently become aware of major issues with his SAA General Staff and hadn’t been aware of the depth of corruption and demoralization within the army until then.
Be that as it may, there are a lot of different circumstances and factors which coalesced all at the same time and contributed to President Assad and the Baathist government’s collapse. One consideration is very likely, that Assad’s top officials, intelligence officers, and generals committed treason, sold out to the West, and conspired to keep him in the dark about everything to effect the coup.
I think it was Alaister Crooke who said that the economy was so bad in Syria after 13 years of economic blockade, that the generals were getting $40 a month, while the Al Qaeda militants in Idlib were getting $400 a month paid by the West.
Russia intervened in Syria against ISIS in 2015 in what was a special military operation, and the parameters for Russian presence in Syria, as made clear by President Assad, were very specific in regard to taking down the Islamic State, and assisting the SAA Air Force with strikes on the Al Qaeda/Al Nusra factions, as well as handling the logistics of Russia’s huge wartime disaster management/humanitarian aid responses.
After about 2019 or so with the ceasefire and freezing the conflict, Russia began drawing down much of its forces, leaving peacekeeping and security units in Idlib and East Syria, as well as the Russian military’s humanitarian aid operations, and keeping the Russian military air base and the port staffed as well, necessary for Russia’s operations into Africa.
According to Vanessa Beely, who has long had very solid contacts in Damascus, there was supposed to be a pre-recorded farewell speech by Dr. Assad to the Syrian people that he was standing down, and requesting a peaceful and orderly transition of power, but that speech never got broadcast. She wants to know who ordered the broadcast not to go out.
I’m fighting a cold, and just don’t have the energy to keep up with it right now.
•Why do you think his mother was a sincere Christian?
>>Putin has, on rare occasion, spoken of how devout his mother was, praised her Christian faith and her forgiving nature, even towards the Germans after WWII.
His mother almost died in the German Army’s 900-day seige and blockade of Leningrad. Putin’s older brother, Viktor, born early in the war, died of cholera and starvation as a toddler in 1942, brought on by the siege conditions. Putin was born in 1952, he never knew this brother, or another brother that had died in the 1930s.
Yet, for what unimaginable hardship, suffering, horror and loss she went through during the war enduring what has to be the most horrific seige in history when at least 1 million Leningraders died from disease, famine, freeze and starvation, Maria Ivanova Putina could tell her son Vladimir, “Why should I hate the Germans? They were just working people just like us.”
Putin’s father had turned staunch Communist after the Bolshevik Revolution, but his mother remained a pious Christian all of her life. She had Putin secretly baptized when he was an infant at a church in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg.
Putin has said he was indifferent to Christianity whenever his mother talked of it when he was growing up, but described the experience had about the cross that his mother had given him which was to kindle his faith, saying to keep it with him always, and that the cross would protect him. To please his mom, he did.
One time, in an interview with Larry King, he was asked about his Christian faith. Putin first said he thought that faith was a private matter but then went on to tell the story about his mother’s cross.
In 1997 or so, Putin and his family were staying in the family dacha when it burned down one night, the family escaping miraculously. Later, he said he found that cross perfectly intact in the ashes of the dacha.
From that time, his heart began turning in faith to Christ, and his Orthodox spirituality deepened over time. He is very devoted to Orthodoxy.
When he takes “working vacations,” it’s usually at a monastery.

NEW VIDEO: US Targets Georgia to Extend Russia: Defending Against America’s Regime Change Superweapon
Brian Berletic’s New Atlas | 12 December 2024
“More must be done across the multipolar world to expose Washington’s regime change “superweapon,” promote the means by which to defend against it including foreign agent laws, cutting off NED and adjacent foundation funding, and the creation of pipelines creating future political leaders, diplomats, business owners, and journalists who serve the best interests of their own nation, not Washington’s, and the creation of social media platforms within and between nations of the multipolar world beyond Washington’s control.
Today it is Georgia. Tomorrow – as the US has proven over the decades and its long and ever-growing list of nations divided and destroyed by US interference – it could be any nation next.”

Lord of War
!Paint your CANVAS (at your own peril)
Given events in Georgia and elsewhere, it seems like a good time to remind people about OTPOR!, CANVAS and grassroots “Color Revolutions”
Otpor! and its slick global spinoff, CANVAS, are perfect case studies in dressing up foreign meddling as grassroots activism. Otpor’s clenched fist—a symbol of defiance in 1990s Serbia—went global, an engine for creating chaos in countries insufficiently compliant with Western designs.
Grassroots they say. Yes, grassroots designed in the workshops of CANVAS in Belgrade. Otpor! began in the late 1990s as a Serbian youth movement aimed at toppling Slobodan Milošević. On the surface, it symbolized a grassroots uprising for democracy, built on clever tactics and nonviolent resistance.
After Milošević’s fall, Otpor’s leaders transitioned from activists to global strategists. In 2004, they founded the Center for Applied Nonviolent Action and Strategies (CANVAS), which would apply Otpor’s techniques to other countries facing political upheaval.
CANVAS began training activists worldwide, offering workshops and resources for movements seeking to challenge entrenched regimes.
They are “innovators in nonviolent resistance”! Against supposedly entrenched, authoritarian regimes, except that all of these entrenched regimes happen to be those opposed to the west. And the funding, training and support comes from such supremely disinterested parties as the Soros Foundation and the NED.
About Soros everyone knows. And just in case anyone is unaware, NED, National Endowment for Democracy, was a department of the CIA until someone realized that it had a better look if their department for using civil unrest to destabilize countries and carry out regime changes were not so obviously CIA.
Therefore, in the Reagan years, it was moved outside, but of course with the same people and Director as when it was officially part of the CIA…
We can say that CANVAS is the CIA’s outsourcing of their regime change function, but allowing some deniability. They train movements worldwide, from Ukraine to Kazakhstan, offering workshops on media manipulation, symbolism, and street-level tactics.
The results, surprise, surprise, always seem to bring instability more than democracy for some reason. Of course, that’s the point! In Ukraine, CANVAS-trained activists helped ignite the Orange Revolution in 2004 and the Maidan protests in 2013, which spiraled into violence, civil war, and however many hundreds of thousands of dead.
Egypt and the overthrow of Mubarak. Out of the frying pan of Mubarak into the fire of Al-Sisi.
In Central Asia, more CANVAS. Kyrgyzstan, 2005, 2010, 2020. Kazakhstan, 2022.
Venezuela, Juan Guaido Presidente!
Attempts in Russia and Belarus.
“Non-violence” is a key to CANVAS’s approach. But rather, non-violence of the government forces opposing them. Their tactics thrive on the fact that many governments are unwilling to use brute force against protests, fearing international condemnation and sanctions.
Yet, if France tear-gasses protesters or Germany cracks heads at a demonstration, it’s business as usual. This hypocrisy creates an uneven playing field where targeted governments are damned if they respond and toppled if they don’t.
Now, Georgia. Purely a coincidence that CANVAS, with only 6 offices worldwide, has one in Tbilisi.
Otpor! and CANVAS are not grassroots, anything but. And they are not liberators fighting for democracy, they are agents of the American empire.
**A warning to all: beware the visits of up-and-coming politicians or activists from your country to the CANVAS offices in Belgrade or Washington. Chaos and death (aka Color revolutions) are sure to follow.

Resistance Toast
Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami
– The roads are open to support the resistance front, and the matter is not limited to Syria.
We proudly say that the last to leave the resistance line in Syria were the elements of the guards
– Iran, contrary to what some politicians are promoting, has not lost its regional arms.
We make decisions and act based on our capabilities to fight the front of infidelity.
We have a great nation, we have a great leader to provide guidance and inspiration, we have strong armed forces.
https://t.me/Resistancetoast/81358

Commander of the Revolutionary Guards, Major General Hossein Salami:
• Syria was the only country that did not accept normalization with the Zionist enemy and was a refuge for resistance and liberation movements.
• We were aware of the movements of militants and Takfiris in Syria during the last months.
• We were able to identify the fronts of the potential attack and informed the concerned military and political parties in Syria of that, but there was no will for change and war
• Iran’s power has not declined, and if it had declined, we would not have carried out Operations “True Promise 1 and 2.”
• Some expect the Revolutionary Guards to fight in the battle instead of the Syrian army, but is it logical for us to fight in another country while that country’s army stands by and watches?
• The ways to support the resistance front are open and not limited to Syria, as circumstances in Syria may change.

“Guards” = IRGC advisers. In fact, I recall that when the SAA was so disoriented and partially paralyzed at the start for whatever reasons, the IRGC advisors jumped in, and were able to motivate enough Syrian units out of their inaction to form up an fight delaying actions against the incoming takfiri rolling south on Highway 5 through the major cities.
Now I realize that the SAA troops were getting nothing from the command structure, and the only real working part seems to have been the SAA Air Force flying sorties in tandem with the Russian AF.
Perhaps that helped buy some time to set the bureaucratic wheels in motion for Assad’s relatively peaceful and orderly transition of power, preventing a sectarian civil war bloodbath the likes of Libya, which is what Jewmerica, Israhell, and Turkeyneckland had intended and orchestrated.
Again, as for “no will for change and war,” it is mostly likely because the General Staff and command structure had been hollowed out by bribery and corruption to turn traitor and not pass the orders of the Commander-in-Chief, the troops were demoralized after years of war, economic and financial hardship due to the crippling sanctions. Syrians were suffering a 90% unemployment rate, whereas before 2011, it was only 5%.
Russia had advised Assad to revamp and modernize the SAA, but the biggest obstacle again would have been money. For the past year, President Assad was also paying more attention to eventually building economic relations again with the Persian Gulf States.
There were, however, individual battalions and special forces that did take up a disorganized fighting resistance as they could, until the General Staff ordered them to withdraw to Damascus, and shortly after that, the order went out for the SAA to stand down, and then disband. -Kj].

This is an obviously staged and fake scene by one of the biggest regime change frauds in corporate media. This prison had already been cleared out by HTS goon squads days earlier, then civilians scoured its cells for relatives.
But somehow Clarissa Ward, the news actress who once faked being under direct fire by Hamas, and who has spent over a decade shamelessly propagandizing for the jihadists now executing minorities in Latakia, just happened upon the last prisoner slumbering under a blanket.
This scam scenario reminds me of the time Ward’s colleague, Arwa Damon, determined that Assad used chemical weapons by sniffing a child’s backpack, and of the countless blatant deceptions deployed by the Syrian opposition on its way toward become the new gangster government.
Journalist flim-flam like not only exposes the absence of editorial standards at CNN, it raises questions about the credibility of Ward’s past pieces trumping up regime change in other countries targeted by US and UK intelligence.

Syria podcast – leaving Syria and the terrorist coup on behalf of Israel, Turkey, Qatar and NATO member states
Mike Robinson of UK Column speaks to Vanessa Beeley
VANESSA BEELEY
DEC 13, 2024
Mike and I sat down to talk about my recent departure from Syria for the second in a series of podcasts on Syria. You can follow UK Column News and insights here. They are providing an invaluable news and analysis service in this age of misinformation.
This is the first podcast during the first days of the terrorist advances in Syria, starting with Aleppo.
The situation in Syria is deteriorating on an hourly basis, mass executions, ethnic cleansing of Shia and Alawite Muslim communities – Christmas is cancelled in Damascus with festivities forbidden and even family gatherings muted and surveilled.

~~~*~~~
A note about Vanessa’s claim of “the hypocrisy of Russia raising the HTS flag Embassy of Syria in Moscow”.
It’s not the “HTS flag” — it’ the old Syrian republic flag of 3 red stars first flown during the French Mandate period, and then once again as the ‘independence’ flag in the 1960s, that’s been raised there has been a change of government from the Syrian Arab Republic to the Transitional Syrian Government (TSG).
Russia has only accepted TSG as fait accompli in terms of a continuity of government and the operating administration that Moscow has to deal with. The Syrian embassy is sovereign territory, and so Russia has no control or say over what Syrian flag is raised (unless its the LBGTxyz,etc flag, or if they’d actually raised the HTS/ISIS). It was the Syrian diplomats who raised the flag, not Russia.
Another her thing that Vanessa isn’t facing or even considering in grousing and poor mouthing Russia right now, claiming “Russia threw Syria/Assad under the bus”, is the fact that there was never a mutual defense alliance treaty between Moscow and Damascus, and that the Russian Armed Forces Operational Group in Syria was a very limited advisory, armed peacekeeping, and humanitarian intervention operation having a narrow operational scope, priority being to fight the Islamic State and Al Qaeda/Nusra in order to attrit especially the large numbers of Caucasus and Central Asian jihadist terrorists before they could return and pose further threat, but not fight on the side of Damascus in the (dirty) partisan civil war between the Syrian government and legit armed opposition of Syrian citizens.
Messy but true. Soviet Russia learned their lesson in Afghanistan when they intervened in a civil war on behalf of a particular Afghani party against others.
After IS was largely defeated, and the conflict was stabilized and frozen with the different foreign occupation areas, and agreements made with Turkiye and the US about Idlib and Eastern Syria, Russia drew down its military presence, leaving a very small footprint and number of personnel, parameters which President Assad himself spelled out in terms of even having a foreign military force on Syrian territory to begin with, which he was reluctant to allow even in the earliest years of the dirty war.
In the years since, the Russians and the Iranians, which had no bases in Syria at all, just IRGC/Quds units, told President Assad that he needed to upgrade, modernize, and completely reform, renovate and reorganize the Syrian Arab Army to turn it into a more effective fighting force.
Of course, the crippling economic sanctions and the financial difficulties created by US occupation of Eastern Syria, the breadbasket and energy resources of the Syrian people, imposed on the entire people of Syria, prevented Assad from actually doing so. In this regard, there are numerous contributing factors which when added up, had hollowed out the SAA altogether, including war material and personnel exhaustion from fighting the US’ dirty war for so many years.
There are questions about what decisions and priorities, President Assad made over the years, how deep corruption and ineptitude had corroded the SAA, Syrian intelligence services, and the Damascus government, what security and military intelligence failures happened, what was ignored or shit canned about what was going on in Turkey-occupied Idlib and the extensive training, growth, and equipping of HTS, and how and when he was betrayed whether he started setting too much stock in being re-accepted into the Arab League trying to build up new economic ties, and pulling away from Iran and Russia as lesser relationship priorities.
Technically speaking, it’s sloppy to call a pair of countries “allies” when they don’t have a bilateral military alliance treaty. If there had been an alliance treaty, then Russia would have been fully obligated to help defend Syria, and would also have been able to plan and prepare on Syrian ground such defensive and logistic measures well before hand. It took many months to plan and prepare for Russia’s 2015 limited military intervention in Syria.
There is also a big question as to what military intelligence failures happened within the Russian Armed Forces Operational Group in Syria, especially after the HTS made their blitz surge into Aleppo, under the command of Lt. General Sergei Kisel who was abruptly dismissed on December 1.
You may recall that Kisel, who previously commanded Russia’s 1st Guards Tank Army in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, was the commander where Moscow’s forces were driven back in a lightning counter-attack by Ukrainian troops in late 2022. He was then dismissed, and sent to “the Syrian sandbox” which Russian milbloggers say has long been a place for laundering the reputations of unsuccessful generals who turned out to be incompetent in the zone of the SMO, and where they can perhaps rehabilitate their performance skills.
Another major tactical factor which opened the way for this, is a report I’ve heard that apparently the SAR and RFAF combat unit radio & communication systems were being jammed at the start of the HTS blitz a few days before.
After about 24 hours, the SAR & Russian ground forces were finally able to get their radio systems working again with intermittent jamming, and in the meantime, the SAR and Russian air forces on different transmission frequencies were able to conduct air strikes on the “insurgent” HTS militants pouring into Aleppo and then making the blitz south.
Colonel General Alexander Chaiko was reported has being hastily dispatched to Syria, who had previously been the commander of the RAF Operational Group in Syria, in an apparent effort to salvage the situation.
The military blogs were scathing about the performance of Kisel, who previously commanded Russia’s 1st Guards Tank Army in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, where Moscow’s forces were driven back in a lightning counter-attack by Ukrainian troops in late 2022.
Who knows? Maybe it was even suggested, and President Assad made the decision to turn it down. But Putin was not about to impose it on President Assad, ever sensitive to Syrian sovereignty, otherwise Russia would have become just another occupation force.
Many factors, and the technical military term is FUBAR.

Israel delenda est!
Dear Brother Nat,
I take it you have replied through KathJuliane, for which thanks.
I have a clear recollection of you saying that about Putin’s mother. Strange.
It’s like what’s happened with Joe Biden’s mother. Senator Biden voted in the Iraqi election of 2005, using his Iraqi great grandfather’s Torah as proof of Iraqi descent. It was covered by CNN. After marriage his mother took her poor Mick to live on a kibbutz. But now that’s all been washed. ChatGPT now tells me she was Irish and her name was Finnegan.
Anyway, since you don’t remember saying it, I’ll treat it as unsaid. Putin’s huge concern for genocidal Israel fits better then without the pretense of a pious Orthodox background.
You might be interested to know that under perestroika the Soviet Auschwitz archives were opened and the world could clearly read that the total wartime deaths at Auschwitz work camp were 68000, mostly non-Jews, and mostly from natural causes – whereas the plaque there used to say that four million Jews were gassed to death there – two-thirds of the Holocaust.
Immediately as Putin came to power he had the archive sealed again. There is now a long prison sentence for denying the Holocaust. Not a very principled or Orthodox stance.
Here’s something about Putin’s halachic Jewish identity.
{https://fitzinfo.net/2021/05/18/putin-is-a-jew-documents-from-the-presidents-biography-confirm-rumours/amp/
And here’s something about everyone else in power in Russia.

Kind regards

Dear Bro Nat and KathJuliane,
I did some research and I now see that the two of you have written extensively on Putin, rejecting the idea of his part-Jewish origin and identity. I saw the detailed facts cited by KathJuliane. I ask you to consider the possibility that you have been fooled.
I did quite a bit of research on Biden and Trump and I see that the facts showing Trump is a Jew and Biden a halachic Jew (openly until he ran for VP, at which point his campaign told me his father was Irish and his mother English). Now ChatGPT tells me that his mother was Irish, Finnegan.
I have been banned from commenting at Jew-owned partial libertarian hangout ZeroHedge because in the midst of wildly antisemitic comments I spelled out in a few sentences why Trump was Jewish and Biden halachic Jewish. I had already said, with no problem, that eighty percent of Biden’s cabinet was Jews and forty of forty-one Trump White House czars had been Jews.
That’s okay and it’s part of giving the impression of freewheeling debate. What crosses the line is saying that the big guy is a Jewy Jew as well. People will then ask, So where is America? I suspect you have been taken in by a similar operation in Russia to cook the books, so that the facts KathJuliane details are simply fake, elaborately so.
I ask you to consider a comment I made just now at unz.com.
=====
Someone had commented:
=====
But then Russia does help to arm enemies of Israel, like Iran.
=====
To which I have just replied:
=====
What strategic interest does the Russian nation have in looking after Israel?
It’s clear that there are strategic interests with the corridor through Iran to Russia. And there is a civilisational sympathy between Shiaism and Orthodox Christianity.
Not so much between Orthodox Christianity and Rabbinic (= Talmudic = Pharisaic = “sons of your Father, Satan, the murderer and liar” in the words of Jesus) Judaism.
How to explain the avidity with which the Russian state under Putin has fought with America over the right to the library of satanist ‘Messiah’ Rabbi Menachem Schneerson? Put in a Yandex search for /Schneerson Ukraine/.
How to explain the Russian state covering up the truth of the tragedy of Russian youth and German youth [killing] one another in the second world war by Putin ordering the closure of the Auschwitz archive, opened under perestroika, that showed the world that the total deaths at the work camp were 68000, mostly non-Jews and mostly due to natural causes, whereas the plaque at Auschwitz used to say that four million Jews were gassed to death there, two-thirds of the Holocaust? How to explain that under Putin you get sent to prison for denying the Holocaust?
How to explain Putin’s Russia defining itself through memorial parades as anti-Nazi and philo-Judaic instead of seeing the truth of Solzhenitsyn’s Two Hundred Years Together, where tens of millions of Russians, a huge fraction of the genetic wealth of Slavs, was murdered by Jews?
Isn’t it curious that the tiny crust of Ukrainian Jews, through control of the media, had managed to engineer the Ukrainian self-image as clown-Nazi. Did you see Schneerson’s plan to have Russia and Ukraine destroy one another for the benefit of the Jews?
Part of that plan was derailed by crypto halachic Jew Putin ascending the Russian throne through the exertions of Chabadnik Abramovich. But the murder of Ukrainian Slavs proceeds. Ultra-satanist Jew Blinken sees that there is more meat available for the grinder, so the million dead Ukrainians are just the bottom layer of the cake.
How is all this in the interest of Holy Mother Russia?
Correction to my recent comment:
=====
I did quite a bit of research on Biden and Trump and I see that the facts showing Trump is a Jew and Biden a halachic Jew (openly until he ran for VP, at which point his campaign told me his father was Irish and his mother English) [that were readily available have been systematically disappeared].
