How the UN Joined America’s War Against Syria
Eric Zuesse
America has been at war to transfer control of Syria over to the Saud family, who own Saudi Arabia; and America has been trying to do this ever since the first of the CIA’s coups against Syria failed in 1949. But only during the U.S. Presidency of Barack Obama did the United Nations become a tool in this American enterprise.
Obama entered the White House in 2009 secretly hoping to be able to overthrow Syria’s Government; and when the CIA-assisted “Arab Spring” uprisings in the Arab world started flowering in 2011, the U.S. Government had the important U.N. operatives fully on-board assisting the U.S. Government to assist this overthrow — to hand Syria to the Sauds (the Sauds being America’s most important international ally, and the world’s richest family) to control.
By the time of June 2011, the Obama State Department, under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was already deep into planning the overthrow not only of Syria’s Government (planning the international recruitment of jihadists to do that), but of Ukraine’s Government (planning international recruitment of nazis to do that).
Although the common view is that America’s main allies are European, that viewpoint is no longer true. Today’s America is allied mainly with the Sauds, and with Israel, which latter is the Sauds’ chief lobbying arm both in North America and in Europe, because Christian-majority populations are far more sympathetic to Jews than to Moslems. For a politician to be publicly sympathetic to Jews is much better for a politician than for him/her to be publicly sympathetic to Muslims. So, Israel carries the Sauds’ lobbying water, not only their own.
On 3 December 2011 (near the end of the year when the “Arab Spring” started), the independent investigative journalist Sibel Edmonds headlined “US Media: Distorters of Reality & Gravediggers of Truth”, and she reported:
Follow Up — The Continued Blackout on West’s Secret Training & Support Camp in Turkey for War on Syria
12 days ago, on November 21, here at Boiling Frogs Post, I reported on the ongoing joint US-NATO secret training camp in the US air force base in Incirlik, Turkey, which began operations in April-May 2011 to organize and expand the dissident base in Syria. I had received the information for that story from multiple sources including highly credible insiders in Turkey and government insiders here in the US…
I immediately started checking our infamous US mainstream media sites — still nothing on this significant information. I then contacted one of my high-level sources and asked why he had come to me with his documented report instead of going directly to the big guys. With several credible insiders as his corroborators and a high-level official in Turkey, he would have no problem getting their attention. And his response? Well here it is minus a few expletives:
Who said we didn’t go to MSM [Main Stream Media] first? We got them the info back in October. First they were interested and drooling. At least the reporters. Then, they disappeared.”
I was the last resort. … This goes down as one more example of very many cases of intentional, willful censorship by the US mainstream media and their so-many-times-proven role as distorters of reality and gravediggers of the truth.
Keeping the “MSM” on-board was likewise something that went back as far as the CIA’s “Operation Mockingbird” had started in 1948 with the cooperation of all of the United States’ mainstream ‘news’-media, and of virtually all of the ‘alternative’ news-media.
The case against the latter, the ‘alternative’ media, was documented by Stuart Jeanne Bramhall here and here; and by me here; with both of us relying heavily upon the encyclopedic researches from Bob Feldman, who is the major historian of the corruptness of almost all of America’s ‘progressive’ ‘news’ media — the present medium being obviously among the few exceptions that actually is progressive, and this article is simultaneously distributed to all media, so all media have been invited to publish it.
The corruptness of self-declared conservative ‘news’-media is virtually automatic, since their chief function is to aggrandize the aristocracy — doing that is what defines them; they are clearly doing what they are paid to do, whereas the non-conservative media need to use subterfuges to do it, in order for them to seem to be supportive of the poor, which conservative media don’t even pretend to support.
Right and left, America’s ‘news’-media are loaded with rot — especially regarding foreign countries, including Syria. Here are a few CIA documents from 2012 showing how obsequiously American ‘journalists’ respect and adhere to their CIA minders.
Aristocrats everywhere do business internationally and have much more of a personal interest in foreign relations than does the average person; so, lying about international relations is especially important to them, in order to control the masses on these matters, matters which aristocrats are especially determined to control. The aristocracy are the people who determine which nations are “allies” and which nations are “enemies.” The public don’t control that.
This is why the CIA, which is an agency of the U.S. aristocracy, has at least all of the mainstream ‘news’-media trumpeting their lies on foreign affairs. Aristocrats control their country’s foreign policies. Their international corporations demand this control, and tell the politicians what to do in foreign matters. The ‘news’-media provide the back-up for the politicians’ lies.
They’re all on the same team, the aristocracy’s team.
They all are agents for the aristocracy, against the public — and not only against whichever foreign aristocracies are labeled “enemy” nations (i.e., as being suitable targets for the given aristocracy’s military — places where the U.S. aristocracy’s weapons-manufacturing corporations such as Lockheed Martin don’t sell their wares but instead upon which those wares are to be used, as targets, the opposite end of the international weapons-trade from the “allies,” which are the markets-side, instead of the targets-side).
International relations is relations between aristocracies. The publics are ignored.
So, if democracy exists anywhere or at all, then it exists only in regards to domestic issues. However, studies have shown that even on domestic issues, the U.S. Government ignores the U.S. public — the U.S. is totally an aristocracy; it’s no democracy at all, not even on domestic issues, such as Medicare-for-all.
That’s the reason why Sibel Edmonds found herself to be a “last resort.” That was a euphemism referring actually to a dead-end for the important news — for the type of news that would have contradicted the Obama Administration’s infamous joyous lie-based “We came, we saw, he died!” (the Libya case), and now the follow-on invasion and destruction of Syria.
Trump continues Obama’s aggressions; he doesn’t end them. It doesn’t make much difference whom the occupant of the White House is, at least not regarding foreign relations, because the same aristocracy remains in control of U.S. foreign relations, even though that might be a different faction of this aristocracy — Obama representing the liberal billionaires, and Trump representing some of the conservative ones, but they are different segments of the same aristocracy; nobody in such a Government represents the public.
Here’s how psychopathic the U.S.-and allied aristocracies are:
A video shows at 2:18 that it was taken on “27/11/2012,” and it’s titled, “EMIR OF QATAR AND PRIME MINISTER OF TURKEY STEAL SYRIAN OIL EXCAVATORS – ENGLISH SUBTITLES”. Both Qatar’s Emir and Turkey’s Prime Minister are enormously wealthy individuals, but they wanted still more.
Both were there using their being heads-of-state so as to assist not only their own wealth but America’s and Europe’s aristocracies to steal and sell oil and oil-well equipment from the Syrian public — from Syrians’ Government — for the benefits not only of those aristocrats but also of Al Qaeda and of ISIS (two jihadist groups trying to overthrow Syria’s Government).
As Syrian News reported this, on 28 November 2012, “Emir of Qatar & Muslim Brotherhood Prime Minister of Turkey send their Al Qaeda FSA terrorists to Syria to destroy the country, kill the people and destroy whatever they can of its infrastructure so their companies would have jobs in the future to rebuild as they think they will win the war against Syria.”
Syrian News headlined on 5 September 2015, “What Did Syrians Do to Deserve the Hatred of the Whole World” and commented:
Syrians stood by each oppressed nation in the planet, all liberation movements from the colonial powers had their main offices in Syria, including South African anti-apartheid party…this is how the colonial powers revenge.
It is beyond kafkaesque to realize that virtually the entire world chants its enmity against the Syrian people, and their country, and that the rest have not even noticed.
On 2 September, “greatest psy op of the last century,” al Jazeera, degraded a photo of a drowned Syrian boy, into an emoticon, to use for a new round of imperial malfeasance against the SAR [that being an acronym for Syria’s Government]. It seems to be of no importance, that al Jazeera (renamed “al Khanzeera,” “the pigsty,” by Libyan patriots, during the destruction of their country), is owned by the absolute monarchy Qatar — “pronounced ‘gutter’”), the little Gulfie gas station that has spent over 3 billion dollars in looting and bombing Syria.
Twenty-four hours later, a Google search of “drowned Syrian boy” yielded over 10 million ‘hits’ (a number which has jumped to over 14 million, 48 hours later), reports which neglect to mention there was no Syrian refugee crisis before the mass-murderers of the colonial powers, and their Levant and Gulfie rabid dogs decided to “arab spring” Syria…
On Sunday, 23 August, the city of Damascus came under massive mortar and missile attacks by the Obama-Cameron moderate death squads. Seven days later, the Syrian Arab Army [Syrian Government’s Army] Facebook page posted the following:
“The city of Damascus had 4.5 to 5 million inhabitants in 2011. Today and due to the war there are over 8.5 million inhabitants in the city; most of which were forced outside of their homes by the “moderate rebels” backed by NATO in general specifically the U.S. Turkey and France; also backedand financed by the terrorist nations of the Gulf…
The cacaphony of murderous silence among the Vichy [nazi] media and sham activists and NGOs [charities that are funded by U.S.-and-allied aristocracies] has increased, exponentially, in perverse rhyme, with the increase in the bombings of the villages of Kafraya and al Foua, in Idlib countryside. In mid-August, the Syrians of these villages had been the beneficiaries of more than 1,500 missile attacks — from moderate rebel mass murderers — that have destroyed 60% of their houses…
The punishment of the Syrian people for refusing the Obama plan of regime change cannot be missed in this organized ongoing assault by NATO and stooges for the past 4.5 years…
On 28 February 2018, Syria News bannered “Deep State Hyenas Flaunt [Flout] Law, Ravenous for More Syrian Blood” and opened:
The globalist deep state hyenas have reached a new low in delirious frenzy against Syria. While screaming international law! they flaunt [flout] it, and flaunt their insatiable lust for Syrian blood. The mania of the terrorists in suits is so out of control that they appear to have abandoned their chemical conspiracy planned for Idlib. Instead, they scream in unison for the preservation of serial killers occupying eastern Ghouta.
Savages they would call by rightful names in western countries are converted to innocent women and children [in Western media]. These hyenas ignore more than 1,000 terrorist mortars and missiles fired by Ghouta terrorists into Damascus. They hold the Goebbels Big Lie proudly over their heads, knowing their elite club is one of destruction, that none of its members will speak the truth…
The deep state hyenas introduced the foreign-armed, foreign-paid, and foreign takfiri [jihadists] of al Ghouta onto the world stage in August 2013. The stupid, inbred, savages accidentally slaughtered many of their own, and thus ratted out having been given chemical weapons by Prince Bandar, because he neglected to give them proper instruction on their use.
The admission was of no matter to the perpetual warriors, including Nobel Peace Laureate cum war criminal, POTUS Obama. Nor was concern voiced by the humanitarian bastards that several of the dead Syrians were recognized as having been kidnapped in Latakia countryside (similarly, the hyenas were too sedated to report on the moment long awaited, when 58 Syrian women and their children abductees were released in exchange for imprisoned terrorists of al Qaeda)…
On 21 February, UN High Commissioner on Human Rights [sic] Zeid Ra’ad al Husseini frothed at the mouth over the “monstrous annihilation” in Eastern Ghouta. He tossed words like international humanitarian law, and war crimes about [against the Government].
That article has a lengthy section which opens:
THE UN: HYENAS LEADERSHIPAnimals running in packs require leadership. Who is better qualified to lead beasts known to take advantage of other animals’ kills for easy prey, devouring every part including bones, than the well-manicured and polished diplomats of the United Nations?
All of that is true, and it even understates the reality. For example, though the article documents that Jordan, next door to Syria, is a key part of America’s effort to overthrow Assad, it fails to note that Zeid Ra’ad al Husseini, that cited high U.N. official on Syria, is a Jordanian Prince. He’s doing what the royal family of Jordan do. Otherwise, that article is an excellent description of the U.N. Administration’s extreme prejudices in favor of the U.S. game-plans for conquest, especially for their conquest of Syria.
However, on 3 March 2018, Syria News revealed that an even more important U.N. official on Syria has also been working secretly with the U.S. to assist overthrow of Syria’s Government. Headlining “Rotten, Secret Diplomatic Meeting that Launched UN Frenzy against Syria”, they reported that,
In possession of a diplomatic telegram [TD], Pan Arabic al Akhbar gave a detailed report 24 February on the nefarious, colonialist plot:
In a somewhat familiar but precise English, Benjamin Norman – a diplomat in charge of the Middle East at the British Embassy in Washington – reports in a confidential diplomatic telegram of the first meeting of the “Small American Group on Syria” (United States, Great Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and Jordan), held in Washington on January 11, 2018.
In this five-page TD, he reveals the details of the “Western strategy” in Syria: partition of the country, sabotage of Sochi, framing of Turkey and instructions to the UN Special Representative Staffan de Mistura who leads the negotiations of Geneva. A Non Paper (8 pages) accompanies this TD in anticipation of the second meeting of the “Small Group”. It was held in Paris on January 23, mainly devoted to the use of chemical weapons and the “instructions” sent by the “Small American Group” to Staffan de Mistura.
In fact, Trump is now protecting both Al Qaeda and ISIS in order to conquer Syria. And he has the U.N.’s backing in this. On Friday, 7 September 2018, America’s Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty headlined “UN Syria Envoy Warns of ‘Perfect Storm’ for Disaster in Idlib” and reported that:
The U.N. envoy for Syria warned Friday that all the ingredients exist for a “perfect storm” of a humanitarian catastrophe if the Syrian government, backed by Russia, carries out a large-scale military offensive on the northwestern province of Idlib.
“The dangers are profound that any battle for Idlib could be — would be — a horrific and bloody battle,” Staffan de Mistura told U.N. Security Council members via videoconference. “Civilians are its potential victims.”
As I have documented at the link here:
Idlib has consistently been showing as being, by far, the most-pro-jihadist of all of Syria’s Governates, in the annual polls that the British polling organization, Orb International, has taken since 2014, throughout Syria. Idlib has been showing there as being over 90% in favor of jihadists and of jihadism — and specifically in favor of organizations such as Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Staffan de Mistura and Prince Husseini refer to this matter as instead a “humanitarian catastrophe” if Syria, Russia, and Hezbollah, do what they will need to do in order to end the invasion of Syria by U.S., Saudi Arabia, Turkey, UAE, Kuwait, and Israel (and the jihadists they hire).
The U.N. officials are treating this matter not as a thoroughly illegal invasion and military occupation of the sovereign nation of Syria, but instead as what will be a “humanitarian catastrophe” if Syria and its allies attack the area of Syria whose current residents are over 90% jihadists and supporters of jihadists. Syria and its allies are to be blamed for invading that jihadist cauldron, while U.S. and its allies are to be held immune from prosecution for their having used those jihadists, during the past 7 years — used them to invade and occupy not only Idlib but other parts of Syria.
Thus, the U.N. is not only holding U.S. Presidents and other international invaders above international law, but it is now positively assisting them under the fake rubric of “humanitarian” concerns, so as to support the U.S. alliance’s invasions and military occupations. The U.N., which was supposed to have been opposing international aggression is now assisting it when ‘the right leaders’ do it.
This is no organization supporting democracy — it is the opposite: an international scheme to back the U.S. alliance’s invasions and military occupations. War is ugly. Apparently, the U.N. has become even uglier than that — supporting the invaders and military occupiers of a sovereign nation.
This is the reason why Syria and its allies have placed on-hold their planned elimination of the jihadists in Idlib and will create a DMZ between Idlib and the adjoining areas of Syria. Further details and context on that can be seen here. Perhaps now, the high U.N. officials who have been claiming that the elimination of those jihadists would produce a “humanitarian catastrophe” will change their tunes and publicly acknowledge that it would instead be a practical necessity.

A tale of The Four Demented Musketeers:
by Arius the Armenian, BTL today’s SyrPer:
“In the early 1990’s after the end of the Cold War (which didn’t end, did it?) was when I determined that the US was using [Croation] Fascists, and [imported] Jihadis in the Balkans, against CIA Langley’s designated demon, the Serbs. I started to realize that the US was not what I thought it was. In those years before 911 I learned that Osama ben Laden was the asset and agent of the CIA and Saudis, in creating Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. … A CIA front company was set up in Azerbaijan fronted by Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft to funnel Al Qaeda Jihadis to Chechnya to fight the Russians; to the Balkans to fight the Serbs; and in Azerbaijan to fight us Armenians. Like it did against the Serbs in the Balkans, … the odious CNN broadcast that Armenians were committing genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh. It took Armenian threats to physically attack CNN to shut it down (the Serbs could take a lesson from us).
All the above was before 911.
Then came 911 which was quickly blamed on bin Laden and Al Qaeda – the same Al Qaeda that I watched the US aiding and abetting against the Serbs in the 1990’s. Then the Great War On Terrorism subterfuge … in the service of [so called] elites in the US, UK, Israel, and Saudi Arabia (The Demented Foursome).
To plow and plunder the Middle East and North Africa has brought immense suffering, death, and destruction. They attacked Iraq, which hosted the cultural legacy of the ancient world, its people carrying on in small numbers those traditions, and with untranslated manuscripts of immense import to understanding our inherited history. At lot has been lost to the perfidy of The Demented Foursome.
Millions have suffered and died horribly. Cities across the region look like the end of WW2 in Europe.
That was not enough – they brought forth ISIS which they provisioned with hundreds of Toyota trucks to continue the destruction of the region. The false flag operations in Syria remind me of the several false flag marketplace bombings in Bosnia in the 1990’s …. Then there is Libya and Ukraine, and now stepping up threats against Iran. The sanctions on Russia. They are going beyond demented in now sanctioning China for purchasing Russian weapons. Their thirst for war has no end. …
All the above and much more bubbles up in me as I watch Hollywood sanctify the White Helmets in another instalment of ongoing program of The Demented Foursome.”
Very good article.Some German MSM are becoming more hesitant to follow suit the Anglo Saxon Media.A silver lining on the horizon.
Eh, time to sort out the “five eyes” because that is the “west”. Based on history of that lot the only remedy is ELIMINATION. It is coming folks.
Statement, by Vladimir Ermakov, Director of the Department for Nonproliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Foreign Ministry, speaking about the impending delivery of the the S-300 AD systems to Syria:“The delivery will be started with two-four [sets of S-300], and then, if it’s needed, this number can be expanded to six-eight,” Kommersant’s source stated commenting on the epxected number of the systems, which would be delivered.
Doing the math: 8 vehicles with 4 launchers per battalion and say 4 sets or battalions to begin with that is 128 launchers ready to fire. That does not sound like it would be easy for Israel to takeout without incurring unnacceptable loss of its own planes and pilots.
The statement also mentions that this number can be increased to 8 sets (or battalions, which would raise the number of launchers ready to fire u
The ‘Gods Upon the Earth’ don’t relish victims who can fight back. And the partition of Syria, and the ‘redemption’ of territory that ‘belongs’ to Eretz Yisrael is primarily a Zionazi project, not a Saudi one.
The UN once stopped Great Britain, France and Israel during the Suez crisis. To this new alliance of Great Britain, France and Israel and what may stop it, see: “WILL LONDON, PARIS AND TEL-AVIV BE SANCTIONED BY MOSCOW AND WASHINGTON?” – http://www.voltairenet.org/article203086.html .
SA is our closest ally?israel is our ally.They control us.
MELKULANGARA BHADRAKUMAR has a very interesting piece at Strategic Culture today.
He argues that a turning point has been reached in the world and that the US has decided that, to defend its pretensions to hegemony it is forced to confront Russia in Syria.
I fear that he is correct and that there is a real threat of nuclear war, a much bigger threat than that which existed in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. At that time the US was in a dominant position militarily and economically- that is no longer the case, the threat to their power is real.
That this situation was almost certain to arise was clear to me in 2003 when the idiotic decision to invade Iraq was taken. It was then that the die was cast and a confrontation between Iran, suddenly enormously strengthened by the gift of Iraq, and the US, weakened and compromised by its alliance with Israel, became inevitable.
The US understands that if Syria survives its campaigns to crush it it will do so because Russia, Iran and, possibly China and even Turkey are underwriting its security. That will be the beginning of the end of US domination of Europe and the opening of a new era in international relations.
As Condoleeza Rice predicted a new world, bathed in blood, is being born in the Levant. But first the matter of US delusions of omnipotence must be dealt with, without calling the example of Sampson to mind.
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/09/25/syria-bolton-throws-down-gauntlet.html
If the die had been cast in 2003, then surely the casting was in 2001.
To me, the understanding of 9/11 (‘the Saudis did it’ or ‘the Israelis did it’ or ‘the Americans did it’ or…) fundamentally shapes the understanding of what the underlying intention is in Syira/ Iran and beyond.
I still hold that unless or until we really grapple with that fact, we are fumbling in the dark when it comes to world events.
The USA does not have an ‘alliance’ with the USA. The Zionazis CONTROL the USA, as they do the rest of the West. Psychopaths like Netanyahoo will decide humanity’s fate, and other evil maniacs like Bolton and Pompeo will just carry out their orders.
This is the typical racist waffle and pulp from a loony left that thinks that the Arabs are just TV terrorists and puppets with rugs on their heads, people that cannot act by themselves and cannot protest against tyranny and need the CIA and Lawrence of Arabia to organise their uprisings, revolts and civil wars. In short a putrid piece of disgraceful leftism that not even anti-social benefits Putin supports (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6183887/Putin-says-EUs-generous-social-benefits-blame-migrant-crisis.html).

Could you explain to whom you refer? The terms ‘loony left’, and ‘left’ obviously have a totally different meaning for you than they do for me: I would characterise those you call left as being imperialists, defending the status quo, pursuing racist policies against Arabs and working with the CIA and the state structures of the western Empire.
You appear to regard the imperialists as leading figures of the ‘left’ in opposition not to the imperial state but to those challenging it, who, I presume, you regard as the ‘right.’
We do not work with bourgeois political categories (left, right), but with proletarian ones. We explain the essence of the problem in our blog (http://comitespartaco.blogspot.com/2018/08/death-to-left.html), in an article that we submitted to Off-Guardia some time ago, but was not accepted for publication. We hope that you like it or, at least, that it can clarify our position.
Thank you for your prompt reply. Mine will take longer.
Trump continues Obama’s aggressions; he doesn’t end them. It doesn’t make much difference whom the occupant of the White House is, at least not regarding foreign relations, because the same aristocracy remains in control of U.S. foreign relations, even though that might be a different faction of this aristocracy — Obama representing the liberal billionaires, and Trump representing some of the conservative ones,
Are you suggesting that Trump is just co-acting in the whole CIA, FBI & MSM’s Trump-Russia witch hunt going on till today? His tweets show different.
Was Obama hounded by those same 3 usurpers?
NO ,,, THEY FIGHT TO GIVE CONTROL OF SYRIA TO ISRAEL WHO OWN THE HOUSE OF SODS
Natasha, Correct. And house of Rothschild owns the lot: Israel, K$A and U$A; Lock, Stock and Barrel. Which is why these 3 countries are one another’s chief allies: they all work for the same clique of uber-rich Anglo-Zio-Capitalists.
