Damascus (Syria) | 30 October 2018
Beijing continues unceasingly to develop its « Silk Road » project. China’s vice-President, Wang Qishan, has undertaken a tour of the Near East which took him to Israël for four days. According to the agreements which have already been signed, within two years China will control the major part of Israël’s agro-food industry, its high technology and its international exchanges. A free trade agreement should follow, and the geopolitics of the whole region will be turned upside down.

Enjoying a legitimacy reinforced by his reelection, President Barack Obama is preparing to launch a new foreign policy – drawing the conclusions from the relative economic weakening of the United States, he has renounced the idea of governing the world on his own. US forces continue their departure from Europe and their partial disengagement from the Middle East in order to take (...)

The Sore Losers of the Syrian Crisis

by Thierry Meyssan

Beirut (Lebanon) | 1 November 2012
In 2010, France made the choice to breath new life into its colonial policy. This led her to instigate a regime change in the Ivory Coast and Libya, and to aim for the same result in Syria. But faced with the fiasco of the latter operation, Paris got carried away by the wave of events that she herself unleashed. After having armed and trained terrorist groups in Syria, the DGSE has now struck at the heart of the Lebanese capital.

Currently showing : the U.S. Election Spectacle

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 22 October 2012
Over the last 30 years, no U.S. presidential election has signalled a change in Washington’s foreign policy of Washington. Important decisions have been made outside this timeframe. It is quite obvious that the president is the superintendent of a policy of which he is not the architect. Will Yankee imperialism perform better under Obama’s or Romney’s smile?

NATO packs it in; Turkey on the verge of a nervous breakdown

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 16 October 2012
On October 8, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CTSO) began maneuvers dubbed "Inviolable Fraternity" ("НЕРУШИМОЕ БРАТСТВО"). The scenario focuses on the deployment of a peace force in an imaginary country where international jihadists and terrorist organizations operate against a backdrop of ethnic and confessional divisions. The accredited diplomatic corps, which was invited to attend the exercises, listened attentively to the opening address of the deputy secretary general of the organization. (...)

U.N. Monologues

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 1 October 2012
Every year, for one week the world’s heads of state gather in New York to participate in the opening session of the General Assembly of the United Nations. The reunion has, however, lost its functionally constructive dimension and has become instead a televised spectacle whose significant moments are watched by an audience surpassed in size only by the Olympics or the World Cup.
The most-awaited speech is that of the U.S. president, invited to take the floor after the Brazilian president (...)

The Powerplays behind "The Innocence of Muslims"

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 25 September 2012
Israel’s big ploy moves ahead in the shadow of the demonstrations and reactions to the film "The Innocence of Muslims." However, the appearance of Hezbollah on the scene has reversed the situation, which could prompt Tel Aviv to call off the operation.

Blasphemy as a tactic

by Thierry Meyssan

Tehran (Iran) | 17 September 2012
The dissemination of a video clip from the film "The Innocence of Muslims," depicting an offensive image of Islam, has sparked a wave of anger in the Arab world. For Thierry Meyssan, things are more complex than they might seem because the clip was first released in Arabic on YouTube and broadcast by the Salafist Egyptian Al Nasr TV channel. The film targets neither the U.S. nor the Muslim public, but only the Arab world. Its distribution was organized by the same people who also called for its prohibition. What lies behind this provocation?

Washington’s double-take at the Non-Aligned Movement revival

by Thierry Meyssan

Tehran (Iran) | 12 September 2012
The 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM ) took place in Teheran, from August 26 to August 31. Most of the Western media ignored the event. In their view, the Movement is of no importance. Yet, 120 states participated, representing the majority of the world’s population as well as the world’s economy. Are we really supposed to believe that all these delegations made the trip for no reason?
Historically, the Non-Aligned Movement created by Nasser, Nehru, Tito, Sukarno and Nkrumah in (...)

France’s foreign policy breakdown

by Thierry Meyssan

4 September 2012
A change in the foreign policy of France is not on the menu for today and will not be for the next five years. President François Hollande is a continuation of his predecessor, Nicolas Sarkozy, in total alignment with the United States. As a reward for his obedience, Paris has been authorized to start soon a war in Mali. The announcement of this new colonial expedition was made without ruffling any feathers in Parliament.

The Brahimi Plan

by Thierry Meyssan

29 August 2012
The Western press is saluting the audacity of Lakhdar Brahimi for having picked up the gauntlet by accepting to replace Kofi Annan as Special Representative of the Secretary Generals of both the United Nations and the Arab League in Syria. However, according to Thierry Meyssan, the truth of the matter is starkly different. Given the current failure of outright regime change in Damascus, this NATO confidence man has been entrusted with the task of unleashing all-out civil war in Syria.

France Falls Victim to Its Allegiance to the U.S.

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 21 August 2012
Most French people are primarily concerned about the economy and don’t see international issues as something that affects them directly. They deplore the submissiveness of their leaders to the United States, but have learned to live with it. However, as argued by Thierry Meyssan, it is precisely the choices made at the foreign policy level that determine the currently poor health of the French economy.

Syria is only a pretext

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 14 August 2012
The permanent representative of Russia, Vitaly I. Churkin, raises his hand to ban war against Syria (Security Council, July 19, 2012).
Over the past few weeks, the international diplomatic scene has been again taken over by the Syrian crisis. A double veto occurred in the U.N. Security Council, the General Assembly voted on a resolution and the special envoy of the Secretary General resigned. All this activity, counterproductive in diplomatic terms, harmonizes with other objectives than (...)

Western leaders slip back into their childhood

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 9 August 2012
The slogan "Bashar must go!" was supposed to be chanted by crowds of protesters in Damascus and Aleppo. In the absence of such demonstrations, it has been taken over by Western leaders themselves even though it goes against all the conventional rules of diplomacy. Why?
