50 photos and other media to illustrate the truth about Syria and Assad.

Long 🧵 Image
Image
Image
What happened since 2011 was NOT a civil war.

It was a proxy war waged by 100,000+ jihadists flown into Syria from all over the world. Image
Weapons also flowed from all over the world. And they were sneaked into Syria mostly across the Syria-Turkey border.

Some came in through Syria and Iraq as well. Image
The collusion to topple Assad involved many countries.

US and Israel supplied weapons, money and propaganda.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar provided money. Al Jazeera did the propaganda.

Turkey and Jordan played key roles in logistics.

UK provided propaganda and established the White Helmets.

France recruited traitors.Image
The two main reasons:

* US and Israel want total hegemony in the region. The US has had plans to break up many countries in the region. Plus, the Greater Israel project.

* Qatar wanted a gas pipeline thru Syria to Turkey to Europe. But Assad wanted an Iranian pipeline. Image
Image
Image
In 2010, the NY Times travel section listed "31 best places to visit in the world."

And Damascus - capital of Syria - was ranked #7!

Why? Because Syria under Assad was peaceful, safe and prosperous!Image
Image
Image
In 2010, Vogue magazine had a nice article on Asma Assad, the First Lady of Syria.

"A Rose in the Desert" described all her great works in education, theater, charity, hospitals etc.

Asma Assad was born and raised in the UK, where she met her husband, who was an ophthalmologist.Image
The West once loved Assad. He was called the "Lion of Damascus."

* France gave him the highest award -- Legion of Honor.
* Queen Elizabeth invited Assad and his wife
* Nancy Pelosi flew to Syria
* European + Arab leaders met with him all the time
* Even the Pope went to SyriaImage
Image
Image
Image
Syria under Assad was secular and moderate.

Sunnis, Shiites, Christians, Alawites, Kurds, Armenians etc. got along with each other.

No Al Qaeda, no Sharia Law, no Muslim Brotherhood. Image
Image
Image
Image
Syrians loved Assad. He could walk around and drive around Damascus and Syria without a huge security force.

In fact, the Arab world loved him. In a 2009 Zogby poll - an American firm - Assad was the most popular leader in the region!Image
Image
Image
Image
Assad is also a good father and a husband. He raised smart, down-to-earth, and compassionate children. Image
Image
Image
Image
Asma Assad was the ideal First Lady. Image
Image
Image
But for reasons discussed earlier, US and its evil friends decided to do a regime change in Syria.

The "moderate rebels" were neither moderate nor rebels. They are low-IQ extremists & head-chopping terrorists aligned with Al Qaeda & ISIS.

Al Qaeda = "Al Nusra" = "HTS" (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham)Image
Image
Image
Image
The US-funded "rebels" are murderous thugs who ruthlessly execute men and women.

They would kill Shiites and Christians just because of the religion.

They have destroyed numerous Shiite shrines & mosques and Christian churches.

#Syria Image
Image
Image
Image
"Syrian" rebels are actually jihadists from all over the world, including Uyghurs from Xinjiang, China.

These fanatics have terrorist camps for their own children, who are brainwashed to become even suicide bombers.

This is not a "popular uprising against President Assad." Image
Image
Image
Image
While US/NATO-funded terrorists targeted Christians, it was #Assad who protected #Christianity in all its forms.

When the rebels destroyed historic Christian monasteries, Assad visited and rebuilt them.

All the church leaders in Syria have repeatedly spoken in favor of Assad, but the US media deliberately ignore them.Image
Image
Image
Image
US actively planned regime change in Syria as early as 2004.

In 2005, CNN's Christiane Amanpour interviewed President Assad, when she brazenly told him that the US is funding Syrian opposition & trying to oust him in a coup.
Under George W. Bush, the US secretly recruited and funded opposition leaders in Syria. But Assad kept winning elections.

Later, US State Dept. gave millions of dollars to establish a TV station ("Barada TV") to broadcast anti-Assad propaganda within Syria.

#Wikileaks Image
Image
2011 saw the biggest regime-change operations ever conducted by the US.

It was called the Arab Spring.

In Egypt, Mubarak was ousted. In Libya, Gaddafi was murdered by NATO. And so on.

But Syria was the exception, because Assad was very popular with people and the military.Image
Image
Image
Thus, US deep state recruited Al Qaeda (AQ).

Feb 12, 2012: AQ leader Zawahiri called jihadists all over the world to go to Syria & fight Assad ("cancerous regime").

Same day: Jake Sullivan - advisor of Hillary Clinton - sent an email:

"Al Qaeda (AQ) is on our side in Syria"Image
Islamic terrorism on steroids

Remember how the CIA armed the Mujahideen with guns and shoulder-powered stinger missiles to defeat the USSR in the 1980s?

It was 1000x worse in Syria, where Al Qaeda was given tanks, powerful rockets, mortars, "hell canons" etc.

#AssadImage
Image
Image
Image
US weapons had an elaborate rat line that involved Azerbaijan's diplomatic airplanes, Saudi Arabia and finally through Turkey.

Al Qaeda and ISIS got weapons worth billions of dollars.

The CIA named its project, "Operation Timber Sycamore."

#Syria #Assad Image

"Salafists, Al Qaeda and Muslim Brotherhood"

US government and media were fooling the world, but US soldiers and intelligence officers in the field knew that they were training & arming the same people who did 9/11.

Some Green Beret (US Special Forces) talked about it.

General Flynn also wrote the famous memo in 2012, where he told the Pentagon that the groups that opposed Assad consisted of "Al Qaeda, Salafists and Muslim Brotherhood."

For that, Flynn was fired! He later joined Trump's campaign.Image
Image
Image
US and Israel were openly supporting ISIS on one side and then using ISIS as an excuse to bomb Syria.

Israeli officials, Kissinger, Thomas Friedman (NY Times) etc. praised ISIS for countering Iran. Image
Image
Image
“Obama is the founder of ISIS.

Crooked Hillary Clinton was the co-founder”

— Trump in 2016.

Surprisingly, he knew as far back as in 2013 that the Syrian rebels are Al Qaeda.
Image
Al Qaeda leader, Al Golani, is now the presumed leader of Syria.

He is from “Golan” Heights, occupied by Israel. What a coincidence!

He also spent many years in an American jail in Iraq. Ideal place for recruitment.

In 2017, Trump put a $10 million bounty on Golani.

But now that terrorist is whitewashed and glorified by Western propaganda.Image
Image
Image
There were plenty of atrocity propaganda from the jihadists and the West regarding Assad.

Like the fake and staged chemical attacks.

Below: Guy wearing sandals and regular clothes collecting samples after a "Sarin gas" attack.

#Syria Image
Want to know Syria's future? Look at Idlib -- the province under "rebels" control.

💠Women forced to cover head to toe

💠Slogans like "Shiite Muslims are enemies of Islam" and "Democracy is a religion of the West"

💠Public execution (with guns), chopping heads off etc.Image

Unbelievable racism in America.

Listen to this guy talking about Indians.

I don’t understand where so much hatred and misunderstanding come from in 2024.

The Struggle for the American Soul 🧵

“America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy" -- John Quincy Adams, 1821.

But that's exactly what happened.

Trump embodies this conflict between nationalistic America First versus the imperial American Century.

This consequential struggle for the American soul will reverberate across the nation and the world.
Darkness from the Start

Of course, USA has been a land of contradictions from the start.

For a nation that arose out of fighting colonialism, the US grew in size tenfold within hundred years after the founding in 1776.

Americans came up with all sorts of excuses – such as the Manifest Destiny – for this relentless expansion.
Also, while the declaration of independence nobly declared that “all men are created equal,” the US could not treat blacks and natives as equal.

Genocide and slavery of tens of millions of non-whites continued for the most part of the 19th century.

And then it took almost another century for African Americans to enjoy basic human rights.

Number of electric cars (EV) sold in China v. USA, 2013-2023.

In 2013, USA was 6x China.

Now, it's the reverse: China = 6x USA. Image

Whatever your belief system might be, many things about COVID-19 never made sense.

There are countless theories, but here are some irrefutable facts about the coronavirus, reactions, studies, death statistics, and vaccines… to make you question everything: 🧵
First, was/is COVID dangerous?

From the beginning, the virus/disease killed primarily old people.

Here's the chart for who died in January 2020 -- one month after the pandemic broke out.

Nobody under the age of 30 died. And 95% of those who died were over the age of 65.Image
Fast forward, nothing changed:

CDC data from the US showed that 80% of those died in 2020 and 2021 were senior citizens -- above the age of 65.

The #1 vulnerable group was those above 75.

Perhaps you hate propaganda and you would like to detect it. Or, you want to hone your propaganda skills!

Either way, here are the four characteristics of successful propaganda: 🧵 Image
Before we go further, the quotes in the above tweet might be propaganda! 😆

Perhaps Hitler and Goebbels were describing the West. Who knows?

History itself is propaganda written by winners.

Okay, now, let's get to the list
1. Keep the message simple

Propaganda should be like a great marketing slogan -- easy to understand, easy to remember, easy to repeat.

No complexities, no nuances, no gray areas.

If a 6-year-old can understand it, you got a good start!

Example: "Dictator Putin invaded Ukraine, a sovereign democratic country."

Why would he do that? Coz he wants to conquer Europe.

Simple!

The Empire of Chaos is on a roll 🧵

Geopolitical events in Syria, Ukraine, Bangladesh have proved that the US deep state has not lost its Midas touch for coups, color revolutions, and proxy wars.

But it does not guarantee the extension of the American Century. Here's why:
First, the plan to conquer “7 countries in 5 years” was delayed, but is still progressing relentlessly. That's a huge strategic win for the globalists.

What’s next for the Galactic American/Israeli Empire?

Answer: Iran
Remember that Iran, Russia and China are the last three obstacles to global domination by the US.

However, the US has failed to collapse the Russian economy after nearly three years of unprecedented sanctions and proxy war.

Putin has effectively defeated the combined forces of US, EU and NATO. Russia's economy is now larger than that of Germany (in PPP GDP); Putin is popular as ever at home; and the Global South has embraced Russia closer.
