A telegram from the US Embassy in Tel Aviv back to the US expresses strong disapproval over the Israeli attack on Syrian tractors on May 13th, 1965: ''if such actions lead to Security Council considerations, the US will not be able to support Israel''.
Years later in 1976, Moshe Dayan would tell a reporter, how at least 80% of the clashes there started while he was Israel's defense minister. Speaking of the Syrian front: ''in my opinion, more than 80%. We would send a tractor to plow someplace in the demilitarized area and knew in advance that the Syrians would start to shoot. if they didn't shoot we would tell the tractor to advance farther, until in the end the Syrians would get annoyed and shoot, and then we would use artillery and later the Air Force.''
In April of 1967 the Israelis again launched a provocative assault on Syria sending tractors, as was routine; following Syrian shelling the Israelis launched an assault deep into Syrian territory shooting down six MiG fighter aircraft, including two in Damascus. In defense of Syria, the Egyptians marched into Sinai, then closed the straight of Tiran.
With JFK dead and Lyndon Johnson as president, UN peace keeping forces were removed from the Egyptian border. Israel kicked off the war by bombing Egyptian air-force runways with of-the-record intelligence from CIA Chief of Counter Intelligence, James Angleton.
Israel would execute Egyptian POWs throughout this conflict. After the war, LBJ had scrutiny over the crafting of UN resolution 242, the American and British drafters of which opposed Israel returning all the territories it had captured. This allowed Israel to take Gaza and Sinai from Egypt, the West Bank/East Jerusalem from Jordan and the Golan Heights from Syria.
Operation Timber Sycamore
Timber Sycamore was a classified CIA program designed to train and arm 'moderate rebels' fighting to overthrow the al-Assad government. The rebels in question?: The Free Syrian Army, (FSA) made up of repurposed salafists, jihadist militants used in Lybia; Ahrar al-Sham; and Jabhat al-Nusra, (HTS) which is al-Qaeda's Syrian branch, with the same polity as the Islamic State. (ISIS) Their leader, al-Sharaa was the protégé of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. HTS often use the same flag, and are known for beheadings and civilian executions including women and children.
Leaked DIA document, 2012: ''EVENTS ARE TAKING A CLEAR SECTARIAN DIRECTION. B. THE SALAFIST, THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, AND AQI (al-Qaeda) ARE THE MAJOR FORCE DRIVING THE INSURGENCY IN SYRIA. C. THE WEST, GULF COUNTRIES, AND TURKEY SUPPORT THE OPPOSITION... B. AQI SUPPORTED THE SYRIAN OPPOSITION FROM THE BEGINNING, BOTH IDEOLOGICALLY AND THROUGH THE MEDIA... C. IF THE SITUATION UNRAVELS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME, WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE STRATEGIC DEPTH OF THE SHIA EXPANSION (IRAQ AND IRAN).''
A declassified 2012 Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report admitted that the US fostered ISIS with Turkey and the gulf states against Assad: "8.C. IF THE SITUATION UNRAVELS THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING A DECLARED OR UNDECLARED SALAFIST PRINCIPALITY IN EASTERN SYRIA (HASAKA AND DER ZOR), AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE SUPPORTING POWERS TO THE OPPOSITION WANT, IN ORDER TO ISOLATE THE SYRIAN REGIME, WHICH IS CONSIDERED THE STRATEGIC DEPTH OF THE SHIA EXPANSION (IRAQ AND IRAN)
8.D.1. …ISI COULD ALSO DECLARE AN ISLAMIC STATE THROUGH ITS UNION WITH OTHER TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA, WHICH WILL CREATE GRAVE DANGER IN REGARDS TO UNIFYING IRAQ AND THE PROTECTION OF ITS TERRITORY."
Al-Jazeera's Medhi Hasan asked Micheal Flyn, head of the agency which produced the report: ''...so you're basically saying that even in government at the time, you knew these groups were around, you saw this analysis and you were arguing against it, but who wasn't listening?''
Flyn: ''I think the administration.''
Hasan: ''So the administration turned a blind eye to your analysis?''
Flyn: ''I don't know that they turned a blind eye. I think it was a decision. I think it was a willful decision.''
Hasan: ''...to support an insurgency that has Salafists, al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood?''
Flyn: ''It was a willful decision to do what they're doing.''
This interview wasn't run in America and it was geo-blocked in the US on YouTube.
A 2012 State Department memo that was readdressed to then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton via advisor, Jake Sullivan simply notes that: "AQ (al-Qaeda) is on our side in Syria."
In a leaked recording of an interview between Secretary of State John Kerry and Syrian opposition delegates, Kerry talked openly about how the US observed the spread of ISIS via eastern Syria, and how the coalition allowed it in order to pressure President al-Assad to negotiate: ''...Russia is invited in by the legitimate regime. They were invited in and we're not invited in. We're flying in airspace there where they can turn on the air defense and we have a very different scene. The reason Russia came in is because ISIL was getting stronger. Daesh was threatening the possibility of going to Damascus and so forth. And that's why Russia came in. because they didn't want a Daesh government and they supported Assad. And we know that this was growing. We were watching. We saw that Daesh was growing in strength and we thought Assad was ready. We thought, however, we could probably manage, you know, that Assad might then negotiate. Instead of negotiating, you got Assad, you got Putin to support him.''
Senator John McCain to CNN: ''Hillary Clinton has described already, the meeting in the White House over two years ago... everyone in the national security team recommended, uh, arming ISIS.''
A comprehensive 2017 study by Conflict Armament Research revealed that weapons purchased by the US military and Saudi Arabia for Syrian anti-government rebels rapidly leaked to ISIS, in some cases reaching ISIS fighters within two months of leaving the factory.
Americans were starting to wonder why ISIS had so many Toyota pick-up trucks, some still with the logos of small businesses.
ISIS lacked the capacity to manufacture complicated things like tow missiles, and yet they had them readily.
In 2017, the Swiss and EU-funded investigative group, Conflict Armament Research (CAR) concluded a three-year investigation into the Syrian arms trade, issuing a report. CAR traced back the origin of more than 40,000 pieces of arms, ammunition, and explosive precursor captured from ISIS, confirming that the arms in Syria originated in former Warsaw Pact nations, such as Bulgaria and Romania, which were purchased by the US and Saudi Arabia, who then, in violation of multiple arms treaties, re-transferred them to so-called moderate rebel groups in Syria trying to overthrow the government. Ultimately, they landed in the hands of ISIS.
In addition, the CIA was also smuggling weapons out of Bulgaria to the Islamic State through intermediaries.
Bulgarian journalist, Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, wrote from SoFI in Trud newspaper, her findings from a three-month investigation; she found and filmed nine underground warehouses full of heavy weapons from Bulgaria in East Aleppo.
Her investigation uncovered that Azerbaijan's state-run Silkway Airlines was offering hundreds of diplomatic flights to the US Special Operations Command, (SOCOM) Israel, United Arab Emirates, the Balkans, Turkey, and Saudi Arabian private arms companies. Diplomatic flights are not subject to inspection. Transporting military weapons in civilian aircraft is also illegal under the IATA . After her report, Dilyana was interrogated and fired. An American company called Purple Shovel was one of the main contractors buying and shipping non-US weapons on behalf of SOCOM to rebel groups in Syria. Of the $1B in contracts issued between 2013 and 2016 for non-US weapons, 100% of them used Silk Airways to transfer them.
Syrian Civil War
US trained ISIS commander, Abu Omar al-Shishani ''Omar the Chechen'' was welcomed by the FSA and had a command roll along side Colonel Abdul Jabbar al-Oqaidi. Omar's suicide bombers turned the tide of battle.
Colonel al-Oqaidi, was filmed at the captured Menagh Airbase in 2013 standing alongside ISIS commander, Abu Jandal; al-Oqaidi praised the joint insurgent operation and invited the ISIS emir to speak during a press statement.
Al-Oqaidi can also be seen meeting with US ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford.
By late 2013, al-Nusra was the dominant rebel force in eastern Syria; almost overnight, all of its fighters in the region took up the ISIS banner, acquiring 80% of the entire Syrian-Iraqi border. Israel helped them by repeatedly bombing civilian commercial runways and treating their wounded fighters in Israeli hospitals, allegedly under a humanitarian medical operation.
According to a comprehensive report by Human Rights Watch, in 2013, Al-Nusra Front, alongside Ahrar al-Sham and ISIS, killed at least 190 civilians, including around 57 women; this has been photographed.
Investigators noted that the high volume of female and elderly casualties, combined with close-range gunshot and stab wounds, proved that they explicitly targeted or indiscriminately fired upon non-combatants.
A 27-second video came out showing Islamist rebel faction, Farouq Brigades commander, Khaled al-Hamad, (AKA Abu Sakkar) cutting out the heart and lung of a dead Syrian government soldier; he held the organs up and bit into one of them while shouting threats to Assad.
In a video the, FSA cut off the face of who looks to be Colonel Mahmoud Darwish, holding it up on a stick.In October 2015, Obama authorized the deployment of fewer than 50 US special operations forces to northern Syria to help train the 'moderate rebels'; they claimed this was to help them fight ISIS.
Also in 2015, Obama Freudian slipped at a press conference: ''...so with the additional steps ordered last month, we're speeding up training of ISIL forces including volunteers from Sunni tribes in Anbar province.''
(2017)
In 2017, Israel carried out a strategic air raid against Syrian government forces at the T4 military airport, attempting to justify the strike by claiming it was targeting a Hezbollah military convoy. The airstrike was immediately followed by an ISIS offensive, which attempted to seize the base from the Syrian army. Three months later, Israel provided tactical air support for al-Qaeda linked militant groups attempting to seize the government held town of al-Baath. Israeli airstrikes claimed three Syrian army tanks, several artillery pieces, and half a dozen machine gun positions.
Because of a fake gas attack, John Bolton got Trump to bomb the very same Syrian airbase which had repelled the Israelis.
Despite all of this, Syria managed to push ISIS and the other rebels all the way back to the far eastern fringes of Syria, reducing the terrorist group's empire in the country by about 75%.
The White Helmets - The White Helmets were a fake humanitarian volunteer rescue group sent to Syria during the civil war, lauded as heroes by the Western media. Although they claim to be an independently financed organisation, they received funding in the tens of millions from USAID, the British and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Interviews in Aleppo, as well as other media, revealed that they were only there to help the rebels, (al-Qaeda and ISIS) and would even steal jewlry from the civilians they were meant to be helping.
Civilians in Aleppo asked if they were helped by the White Helmets: ''No, they didn't help civilians.''
''NO, NO NO...''
''not for civilians''
''We only ever see them helping the armed groups when they are attacked''
''They mostly helped the militants... The hospitals are used to treat the militants... They would shoot at us to prevent us from receiving assistance and they killed six families trying to escape East Aleppo or medical assistance... they were killed by Jabhat al-Nusra''
''The terrorists had their own paramedics called Civil defense who mostly helped the militants... and Jabhat Al Nusrah was in charge of all the groups inside East Aleppo''
''I took her [his daughter] to the civil defense hospital and they gave her an injection filled with air to kill her.''
''When they came to help the injured, they stole from them. If people were wearing jewelry, they cut it off. All of them are thieves.
''Some of them are honest, but many are just thieves. They see gold and they take it.''
''We had no assistance, the hospitals were for the terrorists only.''
''There was very few medical clinics for civilians and when they treat civilians they don't treat us very well. Look at my hand, I was shot and I refused to be treated by them because I know they won't treat me well.''
Former White Helmet: ''My name is Abdulhadi Kamil... At first I worked there thinking we were going to help civilians, then I was told that I had to work as an actor so we can make videos to get donations. When we asked why we have to do this, we were told that Turkey, Europe and Gulf kingdoms will not pay us otherwise... Also among us were people who worked with militants that participated in child executions.''
They even got caught filming one of these hoax rescue videos, where a man, supposedly in need of aide, can be seen lying idle before they start performing. They tried to pass this off, claiming they were participating in something called the mannequin challenge, which is allegedly a viral trend.
They are on video celebrating with al-Nusra front (al-Qaeda).
The White Helmets headquarters in Aleppo, which used to be a school, had ISIS and al-Nusra flags in it.
Remember this picture?
It was taken by White helmet, Mahmoud Raslan, who also took a selfie with Syrian Rebels before they beheaded a Palestinian boy, named Abdullah Issa, on film.
(2018) Second fake gas attack
The OPCW again, alleged that the Syrian government killed dozens of people in the city of Duma, leading the US, France, and Britain to bomb Syria.
Just like before, a member of the OPCW team, Brendan Whelan came forward, delivering testimony in front of a panel convened by the Courage Foundation, a journalist and whistle-blower protection organization founded by Wikileaks. He claimed he was in charge of picking up the samples in affected and neutral areas to check whether there were chlorine derivatives.; he found that there was no difference, meaning there couldn't have been a chemical gas attack.
(2024) Al-Nusra take over
Following the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria in 2024, Israeli forces took control of the remaining Syrian-held peaks and military positions on Mt. Hermon.
Unfamiliar with modern machinery, HTS tried to allege that a prison baler was a torture device used by the Assad regime; balers are typically used in prison recycling programs.
After Syria fell, CNN filmed themselves escorting a supposed political prisoner, even though, the prisons had been opened several days prior, alleging he had been left abandoned for 4 days without food or water, despite not looking malnourished or dehydrated—presuming someone could even live that long. They claim beforehand that he had spent three months in a windowless cell, even though his hair and fingernails are short. He invasive kisses and hugs the blonde female reporter, then says: ''...are you serious?''
''Syria is free,'' they tell him.
The freedom in question...
After they won, Al-Nusra Front started releasing videos of themselves executing Syrian soldiers and civilians by throwing them off of balconies. Death squads also murdered religious minorities and started vandalizing Shia religious sites; someone from ISIS blew up a Church, killing 30 people. Al-Nusra Front and its successor organizations already had a documented history of targeting, kidnapping and killing Alawites and Christian minorities in Syria throughout the civil war; after winning, they led the other rebels on a campaign, resulting in the massacre of an estimated 1000 to 2000 Alawites along Syria’s Mediterranean coast.
Syria's national flag, the Arab Liberation flag, was replaced with the old French colonial flag.
HTS's leader, Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, (AKA Abu Mohammad al-Julani) took office as Syria's President. He was the protégé of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS. As the longtime leader of HTS, Al-Qaeda's Syria branch, the US had been offering a $10M bounty for information on al-Sharaa's location, just 15 months prior. Al-Sharaa had served five years in the US military’s notorious Salafi recruitment hub, Camp Bucca jail for his involvement with Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia. He was released in 2011, at the start of the Syrian Civil War.
A video re-surfaced of al-Sharaa talking about kidnapping women and using them as sex slaves.
Since his rise, hundreds of Syrian women from minority religious groups have gone missing; some have turned up married off to Al-Qaeda linked foreign fighters.
Al-Sharaa was groomed by NGO, Inter-Mediate, founded by Jonathan Powell, a former Tony Blair advisor, who works closely MI6 and went on to become national security advisor. Robert Ford, who served as the US ambassador to Syria, disclosed that in 2023, Inter-Mediate sought his personal assistance in re-branding HTS from “terrorists” into politicians. Ford met repeatedly with al-Sharaa, who reportedly expressed no remorse about the massacres and atrocities he perpetrated in Iraq.
After becoming president, Al-Sharaa got to meet Kier Starmer and King Charles, even though the summits were completely illegal, as HTS was a designated a terror group under British law.
He also got to meet Trump in the Ovel Office, where he was gifted a bottle of Trump-branded cologne. These meetings are awkward for him because he doesn't speak English.
