Thousands of Young Men Signing up for Syrian Arab Army

Follow the money, or the blood trail in this case, from Syria's killing zones to the backrooms of Israel and corporate America. The simple truth: most Syrians back Assad.

Thousands of young men from Syria joining their national army to defend President Bashar Assad's government.

(SALEM) - Most political analysts studying developments in the Middle east would be hard pressed to deny the connection between the 'Free Syrian Army' and the Israeli government. Of course most western people fail to realize how murderous the results of the relationship between the U.S. and Israel is for innocent people. After all, how would they know when U.S. media only reports for the benefit of its nation's political, military and ultimately, corporate goals?

These network and big newspaper writers are not swayed by facts; they aren't driven as humanitarians, but serve as highly effective propaganda sources for the government. You really have to hand it to them, this government media system truly keeps the vast majority of Americans baffled and the media paves the way for all of it.

This biased, unquestioning and unsound approach to news reporting is all related to advertising and revenue and geared toward helping convince the public that the nation's objectives are in fact honest and good, when they are in reality sinister and underhanded. You almost never hear U.S. news reports about the torturous conditions Israel is forcing millions of Palestinians to live under. You don't hear about the inequity, the illegal land theft; or Israel's deadly nuclear arsenal of undeclared weapons that were publicly exposed in the mid-80's by an employee of Israel's undeclared and unofficial nuclear program, Mordechai Vanunu.

Our writer Eileen Fleming is the author who has chronicled his life and one day, her still largely unrecognized work, will be known to tens of millions. In the meanwhile the clock ticks.

It is truly a grotesque scenario that the Americans represent; with endless support for Israel's apartheid government and its endless land theft and persecution of Palestinians. Israel, with its separate laws for Jews and non-Jews and 'Jewish only' roads. It all ties back to the current conflicts in the Middle east; all of them. Israel wants to kill its neighbors and warmongering U.S. politicians who will never strap on a pair of combat boots, would love to send our sons and daughters to a war in Iran on Israel's behalf.

In regard to the civil war in Syria, the various news agencies portray struggling rebels seeking to break away from the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In reality the rebels who did seek more democratic freedom, was quickly infiltrated by Israeli interests which are the driving force for the ousting of Assad, rather than a struggle for liberty.

The powers to be are attempting to achieve what they did in Libya; the destabilization of a long-standing government capable of handing its own affairs, for the benefit in that case, of the U.S. corporations who were drooling at the bit to take control of Libya from its again, long-standing government.

We are attempting to locate a translated version of this video for our English speaking audience. It obviously is a propaganda film from the Syrian govt., and therefore every bit as credible as the U.S. media reports that portray FSA terrorists as liberation fighters.

The struggle in Syria is about a nation largely dedicated to its government and president, fighting a destabilizing band of rebels that is largely comprised of terrorists. A Facebook posting that shows thousands of young Syrian men leaving college and their jobs to join the army of President Assad, is causing a stir. The video on the left contains images that will never be seen on any of the networks, at least not at this point.

A Facebook user named Eleanor Kilroy wrote in regard to the news from Syria: Wtf? Is this Ba'athist propaganda a joke?

Azzaam Abdul-Hakeem is Palestinian. He is presently in London, where he wrote the upsetting message. He says this is definitely not a joke.

“

70% of Syrians support the regime and when in the May Presidential Elections Assad was granted 2 more years as President but under a Coalition with former FSA members who renounced the violence of the FSA and call for a National Dialogue with the Terrorists.

”

But then the force causing so much bloodshed in Syria, the FSA, turned around and said the only negotiation they will do with Assad is his manner of death, Abdul-Hakeem explains.

“

..the FSA are Zionist scum and their fatwa on me with no evidence is a joke, I'm glad to have sent the advice to our Syrian members to be peaceful this Ramadan but if required and if threatened to defend themselves even if murder has to be used to defence.

”

He reveals violent incidents in Syria:

“

... where family members were scalped for not joining the FSA, whose families members were raped and mutilated for supporting the Regime. Whose children where kidnapped and tortured, whose community members where left with their eyes plucked out in the streets as a demonic symbol to the community that they never saw anything.

”

We revealed many weeks ago that according to evidence and witness statements, the bloodbath at Houla that the FSA and its supporters so openly videotaped and claimed to be the work of Assad's forces. Now those reports are corroborated by the United Nations which conducted its own investigation.

“

Evidence from the UN now shows that Houla Massacre was done by the FSA themselves and according to the UN over 1000 people (have) been massacred via al Qaeda suicide bombings in Syria which, Leon Panetta of the US Government openly acknowledged and al Qaeda took responsibility for. We know the Government has given a heavy handed response to Terrorism of the worst kind.

”

Azzaam Abdul-Hakeem describes a grim reality and believes Assad has not done enough to quell the uprising.

“

Think this way for one moment even if it is just to entertain the notion for us; if you was President of any Nation and people started protesting and started kidnapping and shooting and raping and plundering in the name of freedom and God, what would your response be? Let it happen? Resign and betray your people where you have to live? I don't know what others response would be, but mine would be even tougher than Assad has done, I would of snuffed them out early to stop the civil war and high death counts we see now.

”

Abdul-Hakeem confirms the tough position this leaves so many vulnerable people in. The United States media it seems, is high grade alcohol poured on the flames of burning flesh. Their lack of objectivity continually paints Assad as the problem and the FSA as the solution and it all is only leading to more violence and more death. He says the tragedy, of course, is impacting everyone.

“

In 17 months an estimated 19,000 people were slain and we pray for all innocent dead on both sides. However, in Burma since June 6th alone there has been 30,000 deaths and another 30,000 missing with 100,000 displaced and over 1000 raped including a 15 year old gang raped to death by Monks and Communists.

”

I do not think the Assad government or any other is without its corruption and inner turmoil; surely the same problems that exist in every country manifest here as well, and I believe within the Free Syrian Army are people with the most genuine intentions, yet they are part of a military machine and the list of atrocities from the FSA, disguised as acts of the Syrian government, is long and gruesome.

The agonizing part is that Israel is the benefactor of all of this violence, when it remains aloof and above international law constantly. This only exists because the U.S. government shields Israel repeatedly from war crime charges in the UN- invoking America's 'Super Veto Power'.

It is tragic and not in the interest of the U.S. government to be a shameful defender of Israel's racist ideologies. You have to believe truly in your heart that human beings are not equal if you buy into Israel's argument of Zionist supremacy and a God-given right to steal and kill. That is the long and short of it.
