Western demands on Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Western demands on Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 18 September 2018
While on the ground, the war is ending, and only Idlib still needs to be freed from the terrorists, the Western powers are starting trouble all over again. They have just presented their demands to the UN special envoy, Staffan de Mistura. Unsurprisingly, the United States refuse the process led by Russia, for the unique reason that they didn’t have anything to do with it, while the United Kingdom and France seek to impose institutions which would allow them to govern the country from the shadows.

Finding a way out of the war against Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Finding a way out of the war against Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 11 September 2018
The White House is unable to extricate itself from the war in Syria. President Trump is hindered both by the self-proclaimed « stable state » (according to the anonymous op ed in the New York Times), which continues to pursue the Rumsfeld-Cebrowski strategy, and by the reactivated ambitions of his Israëli, French, British and Turkish allies. The logic of these interests could displace the war instead of resolving it.

How the administration of the UNO is organising the war

by Thierry Meyssan

How the administration of the UNO is organising the war

Damascus (Syria) | 5 September 2018
The internal document of the United Nations that we have just published attests to the fact that the administration of the Organisation is working against the UN’s objectives. The gravity of this situation calls for an explanation by Secretary General António Guterres, as demanded by Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs Sergueï Lavrov. Failing which, the member-States could call the United Nations into question.

Who wants to relaunch the war in Syria?

by Thierry Meyssan

Who wants to relaunch the war in Syria?

Damascus (Syria) | 4 September 2018
Seven years after the beginning of the war against Syria, fought by proxy jihadist forces, the partisans of its destruction want to start again. And yet they have suffered a definite defeat on the ground, where the population, after a momentary hesitation, massively chose to support the Republic. This attempt to restart the war from the beginning can only be understood if its objective has evolved.

Open letter to President Trump concerning the consequences of 11 September 2001

by Thierry Meyssan

Open letter to President Trump concerning the consequences of 11 September 2001

Damascus (Syria) | 30 August 2018
Mister President,
The crimes of 11 September 2001 have never been judged in your country. I am writing to you as a French citizen, the first person to denounce the inconsistencies of the official version and to open the world to the debate and the search for the real perpetrators.
In a criminal court, as the jury, we have to determine whether the suspect presented to us is guilty or not, and eventually, to decide what punishment he should receive. When we suffered the events of 9/11, the (...)

Russia denounces the diarchy at the heart of the UNO and the USA

by Thierry Meyssan

Russia denounces the diarchy at the heart of the UNO and the USA

Damascus (Syria) | 28 August 2018
The Western powers are moving inexorably towards Internet censorship, thereby facilitating the dissemination of propaganda and war indoctrination in their countries. In this context, an extremely violent tension is tearing apart the international scene. Aware of the increasing risk of general confrontation, Moscow is attempting to find credible interlocutors in the UNO and the United States. What is happening at the moment has seen no equivalent since 1938, and could degenerate in the same way.

The Trump administration and Iran

by Thierry Meyssan

The Trump administration and Iran

Damascus (Syria) | 21 August 2018
Like President Reagan, President Trump seems to be anti-Iranian. But perhaps this is only in appearance. While the former drew up a secret alliance with Imam Khomeiny, the latter may be dealing with ex-President Ahmadinejad in the same way. This is Thierry Meyssan’s heterodox theory.

Seize the transnational corporations to rebuild Syria?

by Thierry Meyssan

Seize the transnational corporations to rebuild Syria?

Damascus (Syria) | 14 August 2018
President Trump won the election on his promise to overthrow financial capitalism and restore productive capitalism. From this standpoint, he considers that war damages owed to Syria should not be paid by the United States, but by transnational corporations. Is this revolution in international relations desirable or even possible?

How Putin and Trump put an end to the war against Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

How Putin and Trump put an end to the war against Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 7 August 2018
The Western Press continues to support the elite transnational financiers and to scorn the actions of President Trump. This attitude makes it difficult to understand the progress made towards peace in Syria. Thierry Meyssan looks at the agreements reached during the last five months and the rapid progress on the ground.

The Twilight of the War

by Thierry Meyssan

The Twilight of the War

Damascus (Syria) | 31 July 2018
If we consider the war in Syria not as a singular event, but as the culmination of a world war which has persisted for a quarter of a century, we have to ask ourselves about the consequences of the imminent end of hostilities. Its completion marks the defeat of an ideology, that is to say globalisation and financial capitalism. The people who have not understood this, particularly in Western Europe, are defining their own exclusion from the rest of the world.

The Elysée and « Gladio B »

by Thierry Meyssan

The Elysée and « Gladio B »

Damascus (Syria) | 29 July 2018
During the Cold War, the pro-US states experienced a bloody precedent of illegal, secret repression. While it is clear that this system has been progressively dismantled in Europe, it has never been interrupted in the « Greater Middle East » although it has been transformed. The behaviour of the Elysée in the context of the Benalla affair allows us to admit the possibility that this story is not yet over.

What is left unsaid in the Anglo-Saxon accusations against Russia

by Thierry Meyssan

What is left unsaid in the Anglo-Saxon accusations against Russia

Damascus (Syria) | 24 July 2018
Is Vladimir Putin’s Russia a Wild West where Power can strip a billionaire of his fortune, like in the days of Boris Yeltsin? Is Russia interfering with the United States electoral process? According to the US ruling class, these are questions which leave no room for doubt. And yet all it needed was for President Putin to propose that President Trump accept a mutual exchange of letters rogatory to see panic taking hold of Washington.

Trump and NATO bureaucracy

by Thierry Meyssan

Trump and NATO bureaucracy

Damascus (Syria) | 17 July 2018
Contrary to mainstream thinking, the NATO summit did not set the United States against the other members of the Alliance, but President Trump against the intergovernmental senior administration. For Thierry Meyssan, the problem is not whether or not we appreciate the personality of the tenant of the White House, but whether we support him because he is the elected representative of his people, or if we prefer the system’s bureaucrats.

What does the battle of Deraa symbolise?

by Thierry Meyssan

What does the battle of Deraa symbolise?

Damascus (Syria) | 10 July 2018
Thierry Meyssan does not accept the story of the beginning of hostilities in Syria as presented by the Western and Gulf Press over the last seven years. He is therefore returning to these events to examine them in the light of certain elements which have become known since then. As in all science, political science moves closer to the truth by questioning its previous conclusions and integrating new observations into its reasoning.

What Donald Trump is preparing

by Thierry Meyssan

What Donald Trump is preparing

Damascus (Syria) | 3 July 2018
After having observed Donald Trump’s historical references (the constitutional compromise of 1789, the examples of Andrew Jackson and Richard Nixon) and the way in which his partisans perceive his politics, Thierry Meyssan here analyses his anti-imperialist actions. The US President is not interested in taking a step back, but on the contrary, abandoning the interests of the transnational ruling class in order to develop the US national economy.

Jared Kushner and the Palestinians’ « right to happiness »

by Thierry Meyssan

Jared Kushner and the Palestinians' « right to happiness »

Damascus (Syria) | 26 June 2018
We were wrong to believe that the US project for the Middle East was a peace plan for Palestine. Despite the communications from the White House, this is not what President Trump is seeking. He is approaching this question from a radically different angle than that of his predecessors – not attempting to render Justice between his vassals, as an emperor would, but to unblock the situation in order to improve the daily lives of the populations involved.

Germany and Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

Germany and Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 20 June 2018
Relations between Germany and Syria, which used to be excellent under Emperor Wilhelm II, are today abysmal. This is because since the Cold War, Berlin has become the backyard for the Muslim Brotherhood in their attempt to overthrow the Syrian Arab Republic. Since 2012, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the federal think-tank SWP have been working directly on behalf of the US deep state for the destruction of the country.

What is Donald Trump’s position?

by Thierry Meyssan

What is Donald Trump's position?

Damascus (Syria) | 19 June 2018
Elected for his promises to change the paradigm, President Trump continues to astonish all those who take him for an idiot. Yet all he is doing is implementing the ideas that he developed during his electoral campaign, thus taking his place in a political tradition which, although long neglected, is solidly anchored in US history. Leaving aside the President’s public relations communications, Thierry Meyssan analyses his acts as compared with his engagements.

Why is Washington pressuring Jordan?

by Thierry Meyssan

Why is Washington pressuring Jordan?

Damascus (Syria) | 12 June 2018
Are the Jordanian demonstrations a sign of a new episode of the Arab Spring, or, on the contrary, are they a means of pressuring King Abdallah II to accept the US plan for Palestine ?

Libya according to the UN and the harsh reality

by Thierry Meyssan

Libya according to the UN and the harsh reality

Damascus (Syria) | 5 June 2018
Despite the good will of some of the participants, the Paris conference for Libya did not have the desired effects. For Thierry Meyssan, this can be explained by the double language of NATO and the United Nations, who are pretending to want to stabilise the country while their actions in fact continue the Cebrowski plan for the destruction of state structures. The spectacle in Paris was steeped in a profound ignorance of the particularities of Libyan society.

In question – US presence in Iraq

by Thierry Meyssan

In question – US presence in Iraq

Damascus (Syria) | 1 June 2018
Iraq has never known peace since the invasion by the United States, fifteen years ago, and as a result the electorate has lost faith in the different political institutions which followed. In any case, those citizens who did take part in the elections of 12 May chose anti-US electoral lists, thereby sanctioning those of the Prime Minister, who didn’t really deserve it. Will the United States be able to sustain the disorder? Or will they be obliged to actually leave?

The hidden stakes behind Venezuela’s presidential election

by Thierry Meyssan

The hidden stakes behind Venezuela's presidential election

Damascus (Syria) | 29 May 2018
Formally speaking, the level of abstention during the Presidential election in Venezuela does not allow us to validate the democratic character of the victory of Nicolás Maduro. However, the amount of participation is easily sufficient, in the middle of an economic war, to illustrate popular support for national institutions. Indeed, far more than the Chàvists’ hold on power, what was in play was the future of the country faced with ongoing aggression.

Is peace around Israël possible ?

by Thierry Meyssan

Is peace around Israël possible ?

Damascus (Syria) | 22 May 2018
Although the global medias treat the events in the Greater Middle East as unconnected incidents, Thierry Meyssan interprets them as successive moves on the same chess-board. He sees the conflicts around Israël as an organic whole and questions whether President Trump has the capacity to arrive at regional peace.

The United States "Master Stroke" against Venezuela

by Stella Calloni

The United States "Master Stroke" against Venezuela

Buenos Aires (Argentina) | 17 May 2018
Stella Calloni reveals SouthCom’s secret plan to overthrow the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. This document, which we have already published, contradicts President Trump’s engagements to put an end to the régime changes which have characterised US imperial policy. It demonstrates that the international image of chaos in Venezuela is entirely fabricated and is an exclusive invention of Anglo-Saxon propaganda.

Elections alone do not make for democracy

by Thierry Meyssan

Elections alone do not make for democracy

Damascus (Syria) | 15 May 2018
Seen from the West, three democratic elections have just been held in Tunisia, Lebanon and Iraq. But for the People of these nations, the votes had little to do with the democratic ideal, because the institutions that were imposed upon them by the West were designed to prevent them from having a free choice of their leaders.

Have Iran and Israël declared a new war?

by Thierry Meyssan

Have Iran and Israël declared a new war?

Damascus (Syria) | 12 May 2018
In response to the United States backing out of the nuclear agreement, the Revolutionary Guard have attacked Israël from their Syrian bases. Are we headed towards a new regional war, or is this an operation intended for the interior use of Iran?

The Russian V-Day Story (or the History of World War II not often Heard in the West)

by Michael Jabara Carley

The Russian V-Day Story (or the History of World War II not often Heard in the West)

Montreal (Canada) | 9 May 2018
How many of you have not seen some Hollywood film in which the Normandy landings are the great turning point of the war? “What if the landings had failed,” one often hears? “Oh…, nothing much,” is the appropriate reply. The war would have gone on longer, and the Red Army would have planted its flags on the Normandy beaches coming from the east.
Every May 9th the Russian Federation celebrates its most important national holiday, Victory Day, den’ pobedy. On that day in 1945 Marshal Georgy (...)

Russia is opposed to a war between Iran and Israël

by Thierry Meyssan

Russia is opposed to a war between Iran and Israël

Damascus (Syria) | 8 May 2018
Although for the most part, observers are taking sides in the Russo-US conflict and hoping for the victory of their camp, Moscow is attempting to calm the atmosphere in the Middle East. It is therefore opposed to an attack on Israël by Iran, just as it was opposed to an Israëli operation against Iran in 2008.

The Cycle of Lies

by Thierry Meyssan

The Cycle of Lies

Damascus (Syria) | 1 May 2018
When they want to condemn a suspect, the Western powers accuse him of all sorts of crimes until they’re ready to pronounce sentence. Truth and Justice have no say in the matter, the only thing that counts is their power. Let’s take another look at the accusation of the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Thierry Meyssan reminds us that although that particular case is only a few years old, the principle of claiming that Syria is guilty has been established for more than two thousand years.

The fiasco of the bombing raid on Syria

by Thierry Meyssan

The fiasco of the bombing raid on Syria

Damascus (Syria) | 24 April 2018
The more time passes since the allied attack against Syria on 14 April 2018, the more the available information reveals the amplitude of the disaster. While the United States still mange to prevent leaks from their armies, those from France are irrevocable. Washington, Paris and London clearly demonstrated that they still intend to rule the world, but they also showed that they no longer have the means to do so.
