Damascus | 28 July 2014
Since the retirement of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez’s death and the interdiction of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to nominate a candidate in Iran’s presidential election, the revolutionary movement is absent a world leader. Or rather, was absent a world leader. However, the incredible tenacity and composure of Bashar al-Assad has made him the only chief executive in the world surviving a concerted attack by a vast colonial coalition led by Washington and beening largely re-elected by his people.

Ukraine in the Cross-hairs

by Manlio Dinucci

27 July 2014
Washington’s evidence of Russian responsibility for the downing of a Malay airliner over Ukraine are final. The problem is they are not verifiable and therefore reflect the seriousness of those solemnly dealt out by Secretary of State Colin Powell to the Security Council to justify the attack against Iraq.

"Before our eyes"

Extension of the Gas War to the Levant

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 21 July 2014
After three years of war against Syria, "Westerners" have deliberately expanded their offensive to Iraq and Palestine. Behind the apparent political contradictions between religious and secular parties, strong economic interests explain this strategy. In the Levant, numerous groups have several times changed camps, but gas deposits are immutable.

Beyond Propaganda: Improbability

Discourse of War and Doublethink, the Example of Syria

by Jean-Claude Paye, Tülay Umay

18 July 2014
Commenting on the charge that the Syrian Republic had used chemical weapons against its own people, sociologists Jean-Claude Paye and Tülay Umay reveal the willful contradictions in Atlanticist discourse: two contradictory statements are issued at the same time by the same source, while facts are transformed into degrees of certainty. The auditor has henceforth no way to challenge official discourse, except to revolt against the bad faith of his own authorities.

"Kurdistan" Israeli Style

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 14 July 2014
While everything is being set up to create an independent Kurdistan, Thierry Meyssan sees a manipulation of the Kurdish peoples’ dream to profit Israel, the United States and Turkey. Also, he denounces the Barzani ethnic cleansing project and observes the PKK opposition to the creation of a "Kurdistan" of this nature.

"Before our eyes"

Kurdistan and the Caliphate

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 8 July 2014
In a few weeks, two entities to which few people gave a future are taking shape: Kurdistan and the Caliphate. Thierry Meyssan’s analysis indicating these two entities are being propelled by Washington is confirmed by events. He examines the latest developments.

"Before our eyes"

Jihadism and the Petroleum Industry

by Thierry Meyssan

23 June 2014
While the Western media portray the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant as a group of jihadists reciting the Qur’an, the ISIL has started the oil war in Iraq. With the help of Israel, it has cut off Syria’s supply and guaranteed the theft of oil from Kirkuk by the local government of Kurdistan. The sale will be assured by Aramco who will camouflage this diversion as increased "Saudi" production.

Washington Relaunches its Iraq Partition Project

by Thierry Meyssan

19 June 2014
The sudden collapse of the Iraqi state is presented by the international press as a result of the attack of the terrorist group ISIL. But who can believe that a powerful state, armed and organized by Washington, could collapse in less than a week in the wake of a jihadist group formally independent of any state? Besides, who can believe that those who support ISIL in Syria sincerely condemn its actions in Iraq? Thierry Meyssan reveals what’s in the cards.

The Syrian People Have Spoken

by Thierry Meyssan

6 June 2014
The Syrian presidential election surprised both Syrians and their allies and enemies. The poll, which everyone agrees was legitimate, mobilized 73.42% of the electorate, despite the inability of some people to get to the polls because of the occupation of part of the country by foreign mercenaries. Bashar al-Assad won 88.7% of the vote and his mandate has been extended for 7 more years.

An Empire Without a Military Strategy for a Military Strategy Without an Empire

by Thierry Meyssan

2 June 2014
President Obama has stated his strategic doctrine at West Point. In his speech, he reiterated the military omnipotence of the United States, while it is technically surpassed by both Russia and China. Unable to cope with Moscow, he glossed over the loss of the Crimea in silence and instead designated the only worthy enemy: the tactics of terrorism. While al-Qaeda camps are located in countries under occupation by NATO or NATO members, he announced a comprehensive program to combat them. Finally, he reiterated his support for the "Syrian opposition" and promised that he would not fail to bring them help... when he gets Congressional approval.

Laurent Fabius and Justice

by Thierry Meyssan

26 May 2014
Laurent Fabius’ proposal to the International Criminal Court for crimes committed in Syria was rejected by the UN. Indeed, hidden behind the appearance of justice, the ICC is a tool of Western imperialism. Its procedure is grotesque, it does not hesitate to invent imaginary crimes to convict defendants and it participates in NATO propaganda operations. Yes, we want justice, and it must begin by judging Mr Fabius for his crimes in Syria.

The CIA Coordinates Nazis and Jihadists

by Thierry Meyssan

19 May 2014
The world is changing. Formerly, there was a capitalist right and a socialist left. Today, the world is dominated by the United States and the first question that arises is whether to serve or to resist them. As in World War II, we find all ideologies in each camp. For now, Washington coordinates the alliance between the Nazis and jihadists in Europe with the blessing of the anti-Putin Russians.

The Globalization of Special Forces

by Manlio Dinucci

19 May 2014
Special Forces have been designed to use military means to conduct unconventional warfare operations, mainly to cause riots and murder political opponents. Washington already secretly used them in 78 countries, while denying the very existence of their missions, although their budget exceeds 10 billion dollars annually. The globalization of these forces should enable it to expand its invisible dictatorship.

The Liberation of Homs, Beginning of the End of the Aggression Against Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 12 May 2014
The liberation of Homs, the third largest city of the Syrian Arab Republic, is not just an event among others in the war waged by NATO and the GCC on Syria. For Thierry Meyssan, the agreement reached between the Republic and its attackers suggests a quick exit from the war. It will probably be accompanied by a redistribution of regional roles.

Terrorism as Seen From Washington

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 5 May 2014
The annual State Department report on terrorism in the world is a web of contradictions and glaring omissions. To read it, Syria is the center of world terrorism, but no Syrians were victims during the year. Moreover, Syria is not affected by terrorism, it is, on the contrary, its main and oldest supporter in the world. Thierry Meyssan has read this astounding work of propaganda for you.

Ukraine Crisis Accelerating the Restructuring of the World

by Pierre Charasse

Mexico | 30 April 2014
The Ukrainian crisis has not radically changed the international situation but it has precipitated ongoing developments. Western propaganda, which has never been stronger, especially hides the reality of Western decline to the populations of NATO, but has no further effect on political reality. Inexorably, Russia and China, assisted by the other BRICS, occupy their rightful place in international relations.

Democratic Elections in Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 28 April 2014
While NATO member states and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC ) persist in presenting Syria as a dictatorship, the country continues its reforms. On June 3, it will elect its President of the Republic, while the war continues to ravage a part of its territory. Damascus is doing everything possible to ensure that this election is democratic and blameless, while its attackers have instructed their media to minimize the coverage and their jihadists to disrupt the procedings.

Towards the End of U.S. Propaganda

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 21 April 2014
The Anglo-Saxon Empire is based on a century of propaganda. It managed to convince us that the United States is "the land of the free" and that it engaged in wars to defend its ideals. But the current crisis over Ukraine has changed the rules of the game. Now Washington and its allies are not the only speakers. Their lies are openly challenged by the government and media of another major state, Russia. In the era of satellites and the Internet, Anglo-Saxon propaganda no longer works.

Taking stock of Lakhdar Brahimi

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 8 April 2014
After the failure of the Geneva 2 Peace Conference, the Special Envoy of the Secretaries General of the UN and the Arab League, Lakhdar Brahimi, has refrained from from setting a date for a new meeting. He pronounced accusations against Syria, which he blames for the war of which she is the victim. For Thierry Meyssan, Mr. Brahimi was not only judge and jury, but his mandate was to impose upon Syria what he had imposed on his own country: war.

Is Crimea’s Shift the First of a Long Series ?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 24 March 2014
Beyond the emphatic cries of the West against the accession of the Crimea to the Russian Federation, the real issue is whether this is an orphan event or whether it foreshadows a turning of Eastern Europe toward Moscow. With only enslavement to the Brussels bureaucracy to offer, Brussels fears that its current clients may be attracted by Moscow’s freedom and money.

John Kerry has a Tactic, Not a Policy

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 18 March 2014
In the globalized world, every conflict is linked to the others. So what is happening now in Ukraine is reflected in other regions. For Thierry Meyssan, Washington’s rantings are not intended to make war with Moscow, but to urge Europeans to cut off their arm to the greatest US advantage. Similarly, the abandonment of the Geneva process can be a way to sidestep Saudi interests and focus on a settlement in Palestine.

The Axis of Hope: Beijing to Beirut, Via Moscow, Tehran and Damascus

by André Chamy

Paris | 9 March 2014
The U.S. strategy, devised by Zbigniew Brzezinski, using support for Islamist obscurantism to fight both progressive Muslim policies and against Russia, sparked an alliance to resist it. Now, China, Russia, Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are forced to stick together to survive. Ultimately observed André Charny, the trap has sprung on those who set it.

Moscow Inverses Roles in Kiev

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 2 March 2014
While NATO leaders are jubilant over the Kiev coup, which they present to public opinion as a revolution, the situation is reversed in the field. Instead of a government of thugs raising the stakes between Washington and Moscow, it is now up to U.S. agents to exercise power and manage the problems they have organized. Moreover the country is ruined and nobody whomsoever will succeed in bringing about a quick recovery. Russia can now defend its interests without incurring the liabilities from twenty years of earlier corruption.

Can Washington overthrow three governments at the same time?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 23 February 2014
The power of a state is measured by its ability to defend itself and to attack on one or more fronts. In this context, Washington is trying for the first time to show it can overthrow three governments simultaneously: Syria, Ukraine and Venezuela. If it succeeds, no government would be henceforth able to resist it.

The STL, A “Special” Court

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 27 January 2014
In accordance with its name , the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is so special that it is not a judicial body, but a political instrument. Created to condemn presidents Emile Lahoud and Bashar al -Assad, it was later used to convict General Qassem Suleiman and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to be directed today against Hezbollah. The history of this special court illustrates the convulsions of imperialism in the Middle East and Russia.

Al-Qaeda, NATO’s Timeless Tool

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus | 6 January 2014
The discovery of links connecting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Al- Qaeda is upsetting Turkish politics. Ankara not only actively supported terrorism in Syria, but did so as part of a NATO strategy. For Thierry Meyssan, the case also shows the artificiality of armed groups fighting against the government and the Syrian people.

Why Not Stop Attacking Russia?

by Karl Müller

Zurich (Switzerland) | 2 January 2014
A cursory perusal of what big media says leads one to "understand" that, even if it is no longer Soviet and no longer proclaims the dictatorship of the proletariat, the Russian bear is still almost as wicked and dangerous as at the time of the USSR. Is this a reflection of reality or an image that the media complex is trying to anchor in our minds? In the article we reproduce today, Karl Müller explores the why of this campaign.

Whither the Syrian "revolutionaries" ?

by Thierry Meyssan

16 December 2013
On the eve of the Geneva 2 Conference, the American organisers no longer have any puppets to play the role of Syrian revolutionaries. The sudden disappearance of the Free Syrian Army shows those who believed in it that it was a fiction. There has never been a popular revolution in Syria; just foreign aggression staged by mercenaries and billions of dollars.

Mandela and Israel

by Thierry Meyssan

9 December 2013
Westerners are mourning the death of Nelson Mandela with more sadness than that manifested by Africans. This mourning is a way to settle colonial ideology and crimes that were committed in its name. But it is incomprehensible that this torrent of tributes overlook the persistence of a racist state historically founded, as South Africa, according to the worldview of Cecil Rhodes, the theorist of "German imperialism." Mandela’s example has yet to be followed.

The Abdication of Iran

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.
