All that is hidden from you about the Turkish Operation "Source of Peace" (2/3)

Kurdistan, imagined by French colonialism

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 19 October 2019
Contrary to popular belief, Rojava is not a state for the Kurdish people, but a French fantasy of the interwar period. The aim was to create a rump state with Kurds equivalent to Greater Israel, which was being considered with Jews. This colonial objective was reactivated by Presidents Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron including the ethnic cleansing of the region intended to host it.

The genealogy of the Kurdish question

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 18 October 2019
The unanimous international community multiplies its condemnation of the military offensive in Rojava and watches helplessly as tens of thousands of Kurds flee, pursued by the Turkish army. However, no one intervenes, considering that a massacre may be the only possible way to restore peace, given the inextricable situation created by France and the crimes against humanity committed by Kurdish combatants and civilians.

Donald Trump, Alone Against All

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 8 October 2019
Alone, against his opposition, against his administration and against his allies, President Trump does not seem to be able to fulfil his campaign commitments. Three years after his election, the House of Representatives launched an impeachment procedure against him because he is fighting against the corruption of the Clinton clan.

Theory and Practice of Human Rights

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 4 October 2019
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets out an ideal that any responsible person tries to put into practice. But not all evils can be fought at once. It therefore establishes a hierarchy between these rights so that we can make a real difference. In order to better hide their crimes, some powers accuse others of violating human rights. Sometimes the tree hides the forest.

National Unity in Syria and Venezuela

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 24 September 2019
As we alone announced at the beginning of the month, a decisive step towards peace was made simultaneously in Syria and Venezuela on September 16th. The two nations no longer force themselves to negotiate with terrorists, but their governments have undertaken to build a new regime in conjunction with their patriotic opposition.

Donald Trump’s Challenge To His Administration

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 17 September 2019
President Trump made a lot of promises in terms of international relations during his election campaign. He achieved little, except the end of US support for Daesh. Despite the hostility of his own administration, he advances on several fronts simultaneously. He hopes to be able to impose his point of view and take advantage of this radical change to represent himself before the electorate.

Brexit, the EU and democracy

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 10 September 2019
For Thierry Meyssan, Boris Johnson’s policy is in perfect continuity with British history. If we refer to the writings of the British Prime Minister and not to her campaign remarks, she is much more guided by the danger felt at the birth of a continental supranational state than by a desire for economic independence.

Will Donald Trump Bring Peace?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 3 September 2019
After two and a half years in power, President Donald Trump is about to impose his views on the Pentagon. The one who put an end to Daesh’s "Sunnistan" plan is to end the Rumsfeld / Cebrowski doctrine of destroying state structures in the wider Middle East. If it succeeds, peace will return to the region as well as to the Caribbean Basin. However, the peoples who have survived military imperialism will still have to fight for their economic sovereignty.

Justin Trudeau Needs a History Lesson

by Michael Jabara Carley

Montreal (Canada) | 1 September 2019
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
On August 23rd the Canadian Prime Minister’s office issued a statement to remember the so-called “black ribbon day,” a bogus holiday established in 2008-2009 by the European Parliament to commemorate the victims of fascist and communist “totalitarianism” and the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact in 1939. Various centre-right political groupings inside the European Parliament, along with the NATO (read US) Parliamentary Assembly (...)

News from the Voltaire Network

by Thierry Meyssan

Communication - the only issue of the G-7 summit in Biarritz

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 27 August 2019
The G7,which was originally a meeting-place for the Western leaders to better understand their respective points of view, has now become a communication platform. Far from sharing their opinions in private, the guests have become actors in a media show in which each of them tries to deliver a convincing performance. The worst moment of this G7 was the surprise concocted by Emmanuel Macron for the journalists, and against his US guest.

The successes of Russian diplomacy in the Middle East

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 20 August 2019
The political changes which have been transforming the Middle East for the last two months are not the result of the destruction of any of the protagonists, but the evolution of the Iranian, Turkish and Emirati points of view. Where the military might of the United States has failed, the subtlety of Russian diplomacy has succeeded. Refusing to comment on the crimes of one party or the other, Moscow is slowly managing pacify the region.

Turkey gives up on the idea of a Caliphate for the second time

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 18 August 2019
In Islam, the role of Imam does not fall to a theologian, but like Christianity in Roman times, to the most powerful head of State. The function of Caliphe has therefore become a political rather than a spiritual gamble. After having believed that the Caliphate of Daesh could offer Turkey the possibility of reclaiming its Ottoman splendour, President Erdoğan realised that, on the contrary, he risked hurling his country into a state of barbarism.

Turkey will not align itself with either NATO or the CSTO

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 6 August 2019
After three years of relative withdrawal from the international scene, Turkey has specified its direction. While still remaining a member of the Atlantic Alliance and its integrated command structure, it intends to express its independence. It will not receive orders either from the Atlantic Alliance or the Collective Security Treaty Organisation. On the interior, while defining itself as Muslim, it wants to integrate the minorities on a national basis and fight the elements which are under the orders of the United States.

Revelations on the attacks of 2004 and 2017 in Spain

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 30 July 2019
The recent revelations about the attacks which took place in Barcelona and Cambrils in 2017 – like those concerning the previous attack in Madrid in 2004 – pose exactly the same legitimate questions as those formulated in other countries about other attacks. Why, everywhere, do the Islamist terrorists appear to be linked to NATO?

London defends the shreds of its Empire against Iran

by Thierry Meyssan

Beirut (Lebanon) | 23 July 2019
For Thierry Meyssan, the rise of tension in the Gulf has nothing to do with an alleged Iranian threat. In fact, it is the second round of Mossadegh’s anti-imperialist policy, before the mollahs. Just as in 1952, London is ready to go to war to defend its undeserved economic advantages. But if the British won that round, a few years later they would lose in Suez to the United States.

How is Donald Trump handling the Israëlo-Palestinian question?

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 16 July 2019
President Trump does nothing like his predecessors (except for his model, Andrew Jackson), thereby destabilising his partners. The « Deal of the Century » that he dreamed up for Palestine angered President Abbas, who interpreted it from the point of view of previous US propositions. Could he have been wrong?

The European Union approves the nomination of four senior civil servants

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 9 July 2019
Since the European Union has become a super-national structure by the force of Treaties, how can the member-States choose the senior civil servants who are to give them orders? In fact, they are not doing so, but are settling for accepting the choice of NATO, as presented by Germany and France.

Right Before Our Eyes

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 5 July 2019
We are beginning the publication, episode by episode, of the new book by Thierry Meyssan, Right Before Our Eyes. It is an ambitious narration of the History of the last eighteen years, taken from the experience of the author in the service of several Peoples.

by Thierry Meyssan

Washington’s wager concerning Iran

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 25 June 2019
Even more than Syria, Iran is now at the heart of the confrontation between East and West. The astounded public is witnessing Washington’s daily about-turns in what seems – mistakenly - to be an escalation towards war between the two countries. But this is not what it is about. Fortunately, the two Great Powers have demonstrated for the last 75 years that they are reasonable, and have always managed to stand down before they arrive at the point of mutual destruction.

Iran paralysed

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 18 June 2019
The rise of tension in the Gulf is a dangerous game which could turn bloody at any moment. The unclaimed sabotage of the tankers could have been perpetrated by almost any of the parties, including the United States, who are well-versed in the use of false-flag operations. However, rational analysis shows that Teheran today is not at all in this state of mind.

Secret tripartite summit in Jerusalem

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 11 June 2019

by Thierry Meyssan
