"Before our eyes"

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 2 December 2013
While the media applaud the agreement reached between the P5+1 and Iran, Thierry Meyssan, a personal friend of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sees in it an abdication by the new Iranian government. As far as he is concerned, it is absurd to pretend that the two parties have solved a misunderstanding supposedly maintained for eight years by the aggressiveness of President Ahmadinejad. The truth is that Iran gave up its nuclear research and began to dismantle it without receiving anything in return except the gradual lifting of illegitimate sanctions. In other words, the country, brought to its knees, has surrendered.

François Hollande, Zionist Always

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 26 November 2013
François Hollande was elected president by cultivating ambiguity. Yet it was easy enough to read his previous statements to see full support for the State of Israel. The change he had announced to his constituents has not occurred. On the contrary there has been continuity with his predecessor. We cannot but note that France has gradually abandoned its policy of independence to stand alongside the United States and the last colonial state.

Truth as an Issue

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 21 November 2013
What has been happening in Syria for the past three years? According to NATO and GCC media reports, the "regime" has shed blood to suppress a democratic revolution. However this version is contradicted by the current support for the government estimated at, according to sources, between 60 and 90 % of the population. The truth is quite different: NATO and the GCC have successively lost a war of succession and a fourth generation Nicaraguan-type war. It is they, and they alone, who organized and financed the death of 120,000 Syrians.

Europe (de)nuclearized

by Manlio Dinucci

13 November 2013
There are many ways to violate the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The United States has chosen a very discrete one: they modernize their bombs and, through NATO, entrust them to their allies.

100,000 Martyrs for Geneva 2

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 11 November 2013
Although the Geneva Conference, in June of 2012, had set the foundations for peace in Syria, the war resumed for a year and a half. 100,000 deaths later, the foreign powers who planned and fueled the conflict have finally admitted defeat. Moscow and Washington are therefore planning to convene a new conference in Geneva to enact the victory of the Syrian Arab Republic.

Syria has Changed

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 4 November 2013
The media coverage of the war in Syria examines only military, diplomatic and humanitarian action. It ignores profound transformation. However, one does not survive a sea of violence without changing profoundly. From Damascus, where he has lived for two years, Thierry Meyssan describes this evolution.

Jihad : Washington warns Ankara

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 30 October 2013
While Russia and the United States reached the beginning of an agreement on the Middle East in general and Syria in particular, the war continues in Syria. This paradox can be explained foremost by the indiscipline and hatred shown by the Turkish and Saudi governments. According to Thierry Meyssan, by revealing the role of Hakan Fidan, the Wall Street Journal is sending a warning to Ankara.

Saudi suicide

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 28 October 2013
While Saudi Arabia has adopted the Qatari plan to overthrow the Syrian secular regime, Riyadh seems unable to adapt to the sudden withdrawal of the U.S. Not only did the Saudis reject the Russian-American accord but they pursue the war and announce retaliation to "punish" the United States. For Thierry Meyssan, this stubborness is equivalent to collective suicide by the family of Saud.

The consequences of Resolution 2118

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 7 October 2013
Although the French Foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, loudly praised himself for the vote on Resolution 2118 concerning chemical weapons in Syria, this text marks both the victory of Russia and that of President Bashar al -Assad. The vote carries within itself two consequences that permanently ruin the Franco-British claims on the country.

The United States Feared No More

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 30 September 2013
While the General Assembly was discussing the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), it is another matter altogether that concerned the diplomats: are the United States still the superpower they have claimed to be since the demise of the Soviet Union or has the time come to break free of their tutelage?

Israel’s secret NBC weapons

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 25 September 2013
For years, Syria and Egypt refused to abandon their chemical weapons facing a threatening neighbor, Israel, which develops very sophisticated ones, in addition to biological and nuclear weapons. However, while Syria has joined the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons , we are taking a look at Israeli activities.

The End of French Colonialism

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 22 September 2013
President Putin recently wrote in the New York Times that the war in Syria pits the state against international jihadism. At the same time, President Hollande told TF1 that it was a war for democracy. The latter is wrong, as shown in the continuation of his argument with a battlefield in three camps. Behind the rhetorical contradictions it’s the end of colonialism that is being played out.

The Secret of Israeli Chemical Weapons

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 19 September 2013
Israeli research on chemical and biological weapons historically pushed Syria to reject the treaty banning chemical weapons. That is why the signing of this document by Damascus runs the risk of highlighting the existence and possibly the continuation of research on weapons designed to kill only Arabs.

The embarrassed silence of the Italian rulers

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 11 September 2013
Pope Francis’ multiple pronouncements against any proposed international intervention in Syria have plunged the Italian political class into a deep discomfort. Torn between their allegiance to the head of the Catholic Church and their dependence on the United States, Italian officials have chosen to minimize the role of their country.

Western rationality

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 7 September 2013
You liked the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the Vietnam War, the Kuwaiti incubators and the first Gulf War, the Racak massacre and the war in Kosovo, Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction and the second Gulf War and the threats to Benghazi and the Libyan war? You will just love the gassing of civilians in Ghouta and the bombing of Syria.

Enlightenment against colonialism

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 2 September 2013
The events that we have experienced since August 21 (announcement of the Allied bombing of Syria rejected by the House of Commons ) are not a competition between major colonial powers, but mark the Western peoples’ revolt against their leaders. For Thierry Meyssan, Westerners now face their contradictions: exploiting the rest of the world under their rule or live in peace under the rule of reason.

Are Westerners Ready to Bomb Syria?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 30 August 2013
Pretending to believe in a chemical attack by the Syrian government against its own people, Washington, London and Paris are beating the drums of war. Should we take these threats seriously coming from states having announced as imminent the fall of Syria for more than two years? Although one should not exclude this option, Thierry Meyssan thinks it is less likely that an intervention organized by Saudi Arabia. Western agitation would rather aim to test the responses of Russia and Iran.

Sarin Gas : a new propaganda campaign against Syria

23 August 2013
According to the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian authorities have bombarded the ghoutta, a suburb of Damascus, with sarin gas, Wednesday, August 21, 2013, resulting in a total of 1700 deaths. This announcement was immediately commented on by German, British and French authorities who have called an emergency meeting of the Security Council so that UN observers can be allowed to investigate. All of this information is taken over by the Atlanticist media as a certainty, the conditional being (...)

Turkey : The AKP’s Judiciary Coup

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 19 August 2013
The Ergenekon trial verdict did not raise an outcry internationally. At best, the press highlighted the divide that has arisen in the country between those favoring a secular society and the Muslim Brotherhood. For Thierry Meyssan, this trial constitutes exceptional justice and concludes with the imprisonment of all the anti-US leaders: this is a coup.

Obama Pouting Putin

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 12 August 2013
While the Western media describes the cancellation of the Obama-Putin summit as the most serious diplomatic crisis since the end of the Cold War and it applauds the firmness of the White House, the Chinese press sees it as a sign of weakness on the part of the United States vis à vis Russia. For Thierry Meyssan, the affair is of little fundamental importance. It is media posturing and will have no impact on peace in the Middle East.

Operation Terror, who is sounding the alarm

by Manlio Dinucci

Rome (Italy) | 10 August 2013
The United States and its British and French allies, have launched a warning: by the end of August, the Al-Qaeda international terrorist network could attack many of their embassies around the world. It is a certainty acquired by the NSA intercepting a phone call by Ayman al-Zawahiri. Immediately, exceptional security measures were taken and some embassies were closed ... for the weekend. Why the hubbub?, asks Manlio Dinucci.

Saudi Arabia ready to negotiate

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 6 August 2013
The United States solved their internal problems before the Geneva 2 conference, then they eliminated the opposition of Qatar. They now turn to that of Saudi Arabia. However, Thierry Meyssan observes, Riyadh seems more docile than Doha and is offering an arrangement that guarantees both its survival and its ability to save face.

The contradictions of the European Union regarding Hezbollah

by Thierry Meyssan

Beirut (Lebanon) | 2 August 2013
By designating the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, the EU expressed its misunderstanding of the Lebanese resistance, which is not and will not become a political party, although it participates in Lebanese politics. Brussels expressed its allegiance to the Anglo-Saxon bloc (including Israel) at the expense of its own principles.

Soon, no more obstacles to the new Sykes-Picot

by Thierry Meyssan

22 July 2013
You’ve probably noticed the change in tone of the atlanticist press on the Syrian issue. The "rebels", these "champions of Freedom", have suddenly turned into fanatical terrorists who tear each other apart. For Thierry Meyssan, there is nothing new under the sun: Washington has simply abandoned the idea of overthrowing Assad and is heading to the Geneva II conference. Next step: the loss of French influence in the region.

The World Without Qatar

by Thierry Meyssan

16 July 2013
The sudden political withdrawal of Qatar from the international scene was followed, a week later, by the overthrow of Mohamed Morsi in Egypt. Although these two events coincided, without cause and effect, their occurrence has radically changed the future of the Arab world.

September 11: Inside Job or Mossad Job?

by Laurent Guyénot

10 July 2013
Israel’s role in the events of September 11, 2001—that shape the 21st century—is the subject of bitter controversy, or rather a real taboo even within the 9/11 Truth Movement, causing the ostracism of the man who dared to broach the subject, Thierry Meyssan. Most advocacy groups, mobilized behind the slogan "9/11 was an Inside Job," remain discreet regarding the evidence involving the secret services of the Jewish state. Laurent Guyénot focuses on certain compelling—though grossly under reported—facts and analyzes the mechanisms of denial.

Does Morsi’s fate foreshadow that of the Muslim Brotherhood?

by Thierry Meyssan

8 July 2013
Although surprised by the speed of events, Thierry Meyssan celebrates the demise of the Muslim Brotherhood government which he had anticipated for a year. While the Atlanticist media supported Mohamed Morsi and decried Bashar al-Assad, he held the opposite view and denounced the "Arab Spring" as a manipulation. The Egyptian street has decided.

The price of truth

by Thierry Meyssan

1 July 2013
While the international press plays up the information leaked by Edward Snowden as a revelation concerning the PRISM surveillance program, feigning to have discovered what everyone should already have known for a long time, Thierry Meyssan is particularly curious about the meaning of this rebellion. From this perspective, he attaches more importance to the case of General Cartwright, who has also been indicted for espionage.

G8 debates

by Thierry Meyssan

23 June 2013
The unsinkable G8, meeting in Lough Erne, was an opportunity to contrast the views of the United States on the one hand, France and the United Kingdom on the other hand, and finally Russia, under the astonished eyes of the other participants. Views on world equilibrium in general and Syria in particular were aired. The economy was also discussed in order to lift the veil of secrecy shrouding the boards of offshore companies.

Sarin gas is as volatile as Washington’s promises

by Thierry Meyssan

16 June 2013
Did Syria or did she not use sarin gas against her armed opposition? After haunting newspaper columns, the question found a positive answer in Paris, London and Washington. The red line has apparently been crossed. War may therefore be imminent. In reality, this media game comes too late. In terms of international law, Syria is not a signatory to the chemical weapons Convention and may use them freely. Moreover, inventing that Damascus has used weapons of mass destruction is a perfectly futile ploy, considering that the war is nearing an end.
