Eric Margolis: Syria’s WMD?

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/eric-margolis.gif

“The US, France, Turkey and Israel have all finalized plans for attacking Syria. The biggest winner in such a scenario would be Israel, as it was in the US war against Iraq. Sending Syria into turmoil would eliminate the most important supporter of the Palestinians resistance, cut off Hezbullah, leave it vulnerable to a final assault, isolate Iran, and cement Israel’s annexation of Syria’s Golan Heights.”

Michael Scheuer: The price of U.S. interventionism in Syria and Israel

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/michael-scheuer-marching-toward-hell-high-resolution-book-cover-150x1501.png

“If and when the al-Assad regime falls, Americans can watch (a) the slaughter of some portion of Syria’s Alawite and Shia communities; (b) the triumph of Islamist forces, although they may deign to temporarily disguise themselves in more innocent garb as has Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood; (c) the opening of Syria’s prisons and the release of thousands of veteran and hardened Sunni Islamist insurgents; and (d) the looting of the Syrian military’s fully stocked arsenals of conventional arms and chemical weapons. In the midst of this mess perhaps U.S. voters ought to take a minute to think these situations through, and then ask: what has all of this got to do with America?”

Paul Craig Roberts: Washington’s Latest War Crime

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/withkitties_150_120.jpg

“One motive is to get rid of the Russian naval base in Syria, thus depriving Russia of its only Mediterranean base.  A second motive is to eliminate Syria as a source of arms and support to Hizbullah in order that Israel can succeed in its attempts to occupy southern Lebanon and acquire its water resources. A third motive is to destroy the unity of Syria with sectarian conflict, as Washington destroyed Libya and Iraq, and leave Syria to warring factions to dismember the country, thus removing another obstacle to Washington’s hegemony.”

Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following.

Xe — formerly Blackwater — fined $7.5 million over arms case

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Blackwater-Xe-via-AFP.jpg

“The security firm formerly known as Blackwater has agreed to pay a fine of $7.5 million to avoid US prosecution for smuggling arms, the Justice Department said in a statement Tuesday. The company, now known as Academi, will pay the fine in addition to a previously agreed $42 million settlement with the State Department over violations of the Arms Export Control Act. The company had also faced allegations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act regarding its conduct in Iraq and Sudan in relation to unlicensed training of foreign nationals and firearms violations.” [Government claws back the previous regime’s money from a fallen-out-of-favor mercenary.]

War Under Table: Ex-Blackwater mercs in Syria ‘backed by US’

“The opposition fighters in Syria might be getting help from a different source – in the form of training from the US private security firm, formerly known as the notorious Blackwater group. Security circles reportedly confirmed the information which was released earlier by Wikileaks – that the company is sending mercenaries from Iraq into Syria. RT discusses this with Christoph R. Horstel – who’s a government and business consultant.”

Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda link allegations – 2008 Pentagon report

“While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist–operatives monitored closely… This created both the appearance of and, in some ways, a ‘de facto’ link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust.”  [You see, it’s only okay when the Empire does it…]

Al-Qaida turns tide for rebels in battle for eastern Syria

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/a-man-sprays-an-Arabic-sl-0081.jpg

“These were not average members of the Free Syrian Army. Abu Khuder and his men fight for al-Qaida. They call themselves the ghuraba’a, or ‘strangers’, after a famous jihadi poem celebrating Osama bin Laden’s time with his followers in the Afghan mountains.  According to Abu Khuder, his men are working closely with the military council that commands the Free Syrian Army brigades in the region. ‘We meet almost every day,’ he said. ‘We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations.'”

Should Obama and Congress Be Arrested Under the NDAA?

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Obama-Jump-Suit-NDAA.jpe

“If providing material assistance to al-Qaeda is illegal under the National Defence Authorization Act (2012), and Obama and Congress are sending $25 million of aid to al-Qaeda-affiliated Syrian opposition, aren’t Congress and President Obama violating their own law? Should Obama (or at least the Justice Department) not be using ‘all necessary and appropriate force’ including ‘the power to indefinitely detain’ to prevent Obama and Congress from assisting al-Qaeda?”

US government proposes law making it illegal for them to kill you

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Judge-Gavel-200x3002.jpg

“Last Friday, US Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced HR 6357, a bill which aims to ‘prohibit the extrajudicial killing of United States citizens’ by the federal government. In other words, in the Land of the Free, they need to pass a law to prevent the government from indiscriminately murdering its own citizens. Now if this doesn’t give one reason to pause and consider the distortions of liberty that have taken place in western civilization, I don’t know what will.”
