Washington is in Revolt Against Obama

by Thierry Meyssan

Washington is in Revolt Against Obama

Damascus (Syria) | 26 January 2015
The crisis gripping the US state apparatus is directly threatening the survival of the Empire. This is no longer merely the opinion of Thierry Meyssan, but the subject that is shaking the ruling class in Washington to the point that the honorary president of the Council on Foreign Relations is demanding the resignation of the chief advisers of President Obama and the appointment of a new team. This clash has nothing to do with a typical opposition of Democrats and Republicans, nor even with that of the doves / hawks. What is at stake is leadership in the United States and NATO.

Charlie Hebdo has broad shoulders

by Thierry Meyssan

Charlie Hebdo has broad shoulders

Hong Kong (China) | 14 January 2015
While millions of French just came to stand without hesitation in defense of freedoms of expression and worship, politicians and the press, which one and the other constantly undermine them, have seized the opportunity to recover their virginity. For Thierry Meyssan, the government has led an extensive manipulation to cast itself at the head of a great popular event and is now looking for ways to justify a new military operation in Libya.

A French September 11th?

Who ordered the attack against Charlie Hebdo?

by Thierry Meyssan

Who ordered the attack against Charlie Hebdo?

Damascus (Syria) | 10 January 2015
While many French react to the attack against Charlie Hebdo denouncing Islam and demonstrating in the streets, Thierry Meyssan points out that the jihadist interpretation is impossible. While it would be tempting for him to see it as an Al Qaeda or Daesh operation, he envisages another, much more dangerous hypothesis.

CNAS, the democratic version of conquest imperialism

Damascus (Syria) | 6 January 2015
While Washington has no foreign policy, but several contradictory and simultaneous policies, "liberal hawks" have formed around General David Petraeus and the Center for a New American Security. Thierry Meyssan spotlights this think tank which now plays the role formerly devolved to the Project for a New American Century in the Bush era: promoting expansionist imperialism and world domination.

"The art of war"

2014, a good year for NATO

by Manlio Dinucci

2014, a good year for NATO

Rome (Italy) | 31 December 2014
2014 has been the year of resurrection of the Atlantic Alliance, through the coup in Ukraine and the Daesh offensive in Iraq and Syria. These operations organized covertly by NATO, now allow it to replay the scenario of the Cold War. Thus has the US again become the "indispensable power".

The incredible US "peace plan" for Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

The incredible US "peace plan" for Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 29 December 2014
The Syrian people have won two successive wars in four years. Yet the country does not yet know peace. Not only are Washington "liberal hawks" doing everything in their power to prolong the crisis, but they have devised a plan to prepare a third war. Thierry Meyssan reveals here how they intend to use to their advantage the peace conference planned to be held in Moscow in late January 2015.

Washington’s secret negotiations with Havana and Tehran

by Thierry Meyssan

Washington's secret negotiations with Havana and Tehran

Damascus (Syria) | 22 December 2014
The announcement of Washington’s restoration of diplomatic relations with Havana prefigures that of relations with Tehran. The United States has not abandoned its imperialist ambitions and these two states have not renounced their revolutionary ideals. However, pragmatic, Washington acknowledges that Cuba and Iran will not be defeated by diplomatic isolation and economic war. He is preparing for another type of confrontation.

The Congressional report on torture confirms that Al Qaeda was not involved in the attacks of September 11

by Thierry Meyssan

The Congressional report on torture confirms that Al Qaeda was not involved in the attacks of September 11

Damascus (Syria) | 15 December 2014
Publicly released excerpts of the report of the Senate Committee on the CIA’s secret torture program reveal a vast criminal organization. Thierry Meyssan has read for you the 525 pages of this document. He found evidence of what he has been saying for years.

How Vladimir Putin Upset NATO’s Strategy

by Thierry Meyssan

How Vladimir Putin Upset NATO's Strategy

Damascus (Syria) | 13 December 2014
Russia is reacting to the economic war which NATO is waging against her in the way she would have reacted in a conventional war. She allowed herself to be hit by unilateral "sanctions" in order to better lead the opponent to a battleground of her own choosing. Simultaneously, she has signed agreements with China to safeguard her future and with Turkey to disrupt NATO. As long ago, against France or Germany, her initial defeat could be the guarantee of her victory in the end.

Does Obama still have a military policy?

by Thierry Meyssan

Does Obama still have a military policy?

Damascus (Syria) | 1 December 2014
Thierry Meyssan, who was the first to predict Chuck Hagel’s possible appointment as Defense Secretary, ponders the reasons behind his dismissal. They are not to be found in Hagel’s acts, but in the President’s change of policy. Moreover, he observes, Washington no longer has a specific policy and the Obama administration is carrying out dangerously contradictory actions.

Coalition Divided Over Goals

by Thierry Meyssan

Coalition Divided Over Goals

Damascus (Syria) | 10 November 2014
Washington seems to have abandoned its Levant remodeling map for another. However, the failure of the first project and the strength of the Syrian people do not bode well for the implementation of this new plan. Thierry Meyssan reviews the adjustments it requires and the division it has created within the coalition: on one side, the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia, on the other, France and Turkey.

Whither is US policy bound after the mid-term elections?

by Thierry Meyssan

Whither is US policy bound after the mid-term elections?

Damascus (Syria) | 4 November 2014
Since May, the White House has continued to delay the publication of its national security strategy. In fact, President Obama noted that while his team better manages events than that of his predecessor, it is unable to present a coherent analysis of the world and define its doctrine. Moreover, the expected loss of the majority in both houses of Congress would force him to find new collaborateurs.

For Ankara, is massacre a policy option?

by Thierry Meyssan

For Ankara, is massacre a policy option?

Damascus (Syria) | 27 October 2014
Is the new alliance between Turkey and France concerned only with economic issues, to wit entry into the European Union, or is it purely political? In this case, must Paris provide cover for Ankara whatever the policy? Does this support go as far as genocide?

Geopolitics of the war against Syria and against the Daesh

by Thierry Meyssan

Geopolitics of the war against Syria and against the Daesh

Damascus (Syria) | 26 October 2014
In this new and original analysis, Thierry Meyssan exposes the geopolitical reasons for the failure of the war against Syria and the real objectives of the so-called war against Daesh. This is particularly important for understanding current international relations and the crystallization of conflict in the Levant (Iraq, Syria and Lebanon).

Will Washington succeed in having Northern Syria ethnically cleansed?

by Thierry Meyssan

Will Washington succeed in having Northern Syria ethnically cleansed?

Damascus (Syria) | 15 October 2014
At Kobané and in its region, where more than 300,000 Syrian Kurds are threatened with extermination by the Islamic Emirate, everyone can take the measure of NATO’s duplicity. As the commander of the US Coalition declares he is fighting against the Islamic Emirate, a NATO member, Turkey, furnishes the latter with the military and medical assistance they need, preventing civilians from fleeing and PKK fighters from coming to their aid.

"Before our eyes"

Storm Warning in Iran

by Thierry Meyssan

Storm Warning in Iran

Tehran (Iran) | 13 October 2014
The initiatives of the new Iranian president, Sheikh Hassan Rohani, have largely strayed from Imam Khomeini’s anti-imperialist line. It appears that the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had favored the election of Rohani, decided today to sabotage the agreement Rohani secretly negotiated with the United States and the European Union. Washington does not see it that way and is preparing its "Plan B".

Behind the anti-terror alibi, the gas war in the Levant

by Thierry Meyssan

Behind the anti-terror alibi, the gas war in the Levant

Damascus (Syria) | 3 October 2014
Though everyone adheres to Washington and its Gulf allies’ anti-terrorist discourse, everyone understands that it is only a rhetorical justification for a war that has other purposes. The United States say they want to destroy the Islamic Emirate which they created and which performs for them the ethnic cleansing necessary to its plan for the remodeling of the "Broader Middle East". Stranger still, they say they want to fight in Syria alongside the moderate opposition which is composed of the same jihadists. Finally, they destroyed Rakka buildings that had been evacuated two days earlier by the Islamic Emirate. For Thierry Meyssan, behind these apparent contradictions the gas war continues.

Who Makes Up the "Islamic Emirate"?

by Thierry Meyssan

Who Makes Up the "Islamic Emirate"?

Beirut (Lebanon) | 22 September 2014
While Western public opinion is fed information about the constitution of a purported international coalition to fight against the "Islamic Emirate", the latter changes shape discreetly. Its principal officers are no longer Arab, but Georgian and Chinese. For Thierry Meyssan, this mutation shows that NATO ultimately intends to use the "Islamic Emirate" in Russia and in China. Therefore, both countries must act now against the jihadists before they return to sow chaos in their countries of origin.

NATO intends to prohibit Russia’s and China’s Development

by Thierry Meyssan

NATO intends to prohibit Russia's and China's Development

Damascus (Syria) | 8 September 2014
The glitzy NATO summit in Newport has not publicly announced major decisions but it is likely that they were taken in secret. To prevent Russia and China - but also India - from continuing their development, NATO can count on Terrorism from the Islamic Emirate which it pretends to condemn and fight.

The Grand Saudi Reversal

by Thierry Meyssan

The Grand Saudi Reversal

Damascus (Syria) | 1 September 2014
While for the past 35 years Saudi Arabia has supported all the jihadist movements to the most extremist, Riyadh seems suddenly to have changed policy. Threatened in its very existence by a possible attack from the Islamic Emirate, Saudi Arabia has given the signal for the destruction of the organization. But contrary to appearances, the EIS remains supported by Turkey and Israel who sell their looted oil.

The F-35, the Scam of the Century

The F-35, the Scam of the Century

16 August 2014
The F-35 is the largest weapons program in history. This multi-role aircraft is built by Lockheed Martin with Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems as major partners.
It should equip the armies of Australia, Canada, Denmark, the United States, Israel, Italy, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Turkey for the next 40 years and replace the F-16, F-18 and F-22.
However, its production started while essential aeronautical software has not yet been invented. The defense (...)

Russian Strategy in the Face of Anglo-American Imperialism

The Beginning of World Shift

by Thierry Meyssan

The Beginning of World Shift

Damascus (Syria) | 13 August 2014
Anglo-Saxon agression against Russia is taking the form of financial and economic warfare. However, Moscow is preparing for armed hostilities by developing its agricultural self-sufficency and multiplying its alliances. For Thierry Meyssan, after the creation of the caliphate in the Levant, Washington would lay down a new card in September in St. Petersburg. The ability of Russia to maintain its internal stability will determine the course of events.

Israel

Who is the Enemy?

by Thierry Meyssan

Who is the Enemy?

Damascus (Syria) | 4 August 2014
Everyone has an opinion to explain the massacres committed by the State of Israel in Gaza. While in the 70s and 80s, it was seen as a demonstration of Anglo-Saxon imperialism, many interpret it today as a conflict between Jews and Arabs. Reviewing the long period of history - four centuries -, Thierry Meyssan, a consultant to several governments, analyzes the origins of Zionism, its true ambitions and determines who the enemy is.

The Metamorphosis of Bashar al-Assad

by Thierry Meyssan

The Metamorphosis of Bashar al-Assad

Damascus (Syria) | 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

Ukraine in the Cross-hairs

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.

Extension of the Gas War to the Levant

by Thierry Meyssan

Extension of the Gas War to the Levant

Damascus (Syria) | 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

Discourse of War and Doublethink, the Example of Syria

Brussels (Belgium) | 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

"Kurdistan" Israeli Style

Damascus (Syria) | 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.

Kurdistan and the Caliphate

by Thierry Meyssan

Kurdistan and the Caliphate

Damascus (Syria) | 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

Jihadism and the Petroleum Industry

Damascus (Syria) | 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.
