The plan of imminent aggression against Syria has the same configuration that was employed to destroy Libya and overthrow Moammar Gadhafi. Julie Lévesque, investigator and analyst for the Centre for Research on Globalization in Canada, mentioned a few days ago in Global Research: “The ‘Syrian uprising’ seems to be a copy and paste of the ‘protest movement’ in Libya … The mainstream press has once again one principal source of information — the opposition groups.”

It is not about denying a voice to those who have legitimate reasons to oppose Syria’s Baath Party regime, headed by president Bashar al-Assad, but instead about knowing who represents the opposition, how authentic it is and if it has roots in greater public opinion.

“The Western media,” writes Lévesque, “neglects military casualties and fails to report that armed gunmen, 17,000 according to a report from the International Institute for Strategic Studies, are among the protesters.” Instead, they grant credibility to the so-called Syrian National Council, a far-right, antidemocratic organization that lacks popular representation.

Since April of 2010, the George W. Bush Institute in Dallas, Texas, which carries infamy in its very name, met with “political dissidents from China, Iran, Russia, Egypt, Syria, Venezuela and Cuba,” to examine “the successes and challenges for worldwide political opposition movements with presence on the Internet.” Experience and technology for the promoters of internal disorders, who lack real popular support.

The cases of Libya and Syria are fundamentally different from the so-called “Arab Spring,” which overthrew repressive and conservative governments that were aligned with the United States, like that of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, where the military leadership attempted to maintain the old order hidden under a pseudo-democratic façade. Hence, the Egyptian situation is again volatile.

Wayne Madsen, an independent journalist that works in Washington, D.C., columnist for several important newspapers, websites and news agencies and an analyst og security and defense issues at Fox News, BBC and Al-Jazeera, among other international news outlets, reported that the U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert S. Ford, has gone to work on recruiting Arab death squads who are integrated with militants from al-Qaida in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen and Chechnya, to fight security forces in Syria.

Again, geopolitical and geostrategic interests win over alleged ideological differences, which would make al-Qaida one of the worst enemies of the United States. Just as Washington trained and financed Osama bin Laden and his holy warriors to launch them against the Soviets in Afghanistan and later against the Russians in the Caucasus, now it doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of the same situation in Syria.

Between 2004 and 2006, Ford served as political counselor at the U.S. embassy in Iraq. Ambassador Ford served under John Dimitri Negroponte, who was previously the U.S. ambassador to Honduras between 1981 and 1985, a period in which he was a key figure in organizing the Nicaraguan contras and supporting death squads commanded by Roberto d’Aubuisson. Negroponte entrusted Ford with implementing the Salvadorian option in Iraq to quell the insurgency against the American occupation.

Today, as Syrian ambassador, Ford pledges loyalty to the Salvadorian option and organizes fundamentalist death squads, which lay the groundwork for public insurrection and Washington and NATO’s upcoming humanitarian war. The strategy is so obvious that the entire world should take notice, in the absence of the efficient work of propaganda and misinformation by the large Western media outlets.

El esquema de la inminente agresión contra Siria tiene la misma configuración que el empleado para destrozar a Libia y derrocar

a Muammar Gadhafi. Julie Lévesque, investigadora y analista del Centro de Investigación de la Globalización en Canadá,

comentó en días pasados en Global Research: “El alzamiento sirio parece una copia del movimiento de protesta en Libia… Los

consorcios informativos tienen de nuevo una sola fuente de información: los grupos opositores”.

No se trata de negar la voz a quienes tengan motivos legítimos para oponerse al régimen del Partido Baath sirio, encabezado por

el presidente Bashar al-Assad, sino de saber a quién representa esa oposición, qué tan auténtica es y si tiene verdaderas raíces

en la opinión ciudadana.

“Los medios occidentales”, escribe Lévesque, “minimizan las bajas militares y omiten informar que escuadrones paramilitares,

con alrededor de 17 mil integrantes, de acuerdo con un informe del Instituto Internacional de Estudios Estratégicos (reconocida

autoridad en conflictos político-militares en el mundo, con sede en Londres), ocupan las primeras filas en las manifestaciones

contra al-Assad”. En contraste, confieren plena credibilidad al llamado Consejo Nacional Sirio, un organismo de extrema

derecha, antidemocrático, sin representatividad popular.

Desde abril de 2010, el Instituto George W. Bush, de Dallas, Texas, que en su nombre lleva su fama, reunió a “disidentes

políticos de China, Irán, Rusia, Egipto, Siria, Venezuela y Cuba”, para examinar “los éxitos y los desafíos de los movimientos

políticos disidentes con presencia en la internet en todo el mundo”. Experiencia y tecnología al servicio de los promotores de

desórdenes internos, carentes de apoyo popular verdadero.

Los casos de Libia y Siria son fundamentalmente diferentes de la llamada primavera árabe, que condujo al derrocamiento de

gobiernos represores, conservadores, aliados de Estados Unidos, como el de Hosni Mubarak, en Egipto, donde la cúpula militar

ha intentado mantener el viejo orden con una fachada a la que se dio una mano apresurada de barniz seudodemocratizador. Por

ello, la situación egipcia es nuevamente volátil.

Wayne Madsen, un periodista independiente que trabaja desde Washington, DC, colaborador de importantes diarios, agencias

noticiosas, portales en la internet; analista de temas de seguridad y defensa en Fox News, la CNN, la BBC y Al-Jazeera, entre

otros medios de presencia internacional, denunció que el embajador estadunidense en Siria, Robert S. Ford, se ha dedicado a la

tarea de reclutar escuadrones de la muerte árabes, integrados con militantes de Al-Qaeda en Afganistán, Irak, Yemen y

Chechenia, para que combatan contra las fuerzas militares y de la policía en Siria.

Again, geopolitical and geostrategic interests win over alleged ideological differences, that would make Al-Qaeda one of the worst

enemies of the United States. Just as Washington trained and financed Osama bin Laden and his holy warriors to launch them

against the Soviets in Afghanistan and later against the Russians in the Caucasus, now it doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of

the same situation in Syria.

Entre 2004 y 2006, Ford fue agregado político en la embajada de Estados Unidos en Irak, entonces a cargo de John Dimitri

Negroponte, quien fuera también embajador estadunidense en Honduras de 1981 a 1985, periodo durante el cual fue una figura

clave para organizar a la contrarrevolución nicaragüense y apoyar la creación de los escuadrones de la muerte comandados por

Roberto d’Aubuisson. Negroponte le encomendó a Ford la tarea de aplicar la opción salvadoreña en Irak, para reprimir el

movimiento insurgente contra la ocupación estadunidense.

Hoy en día, como embajador en Siria, Ford sigue fiel a la opción salvadoreña y organiza escuadrones de la muerte

fundamentalistas, que preparan el terreno para la insurrección popular y la siguiente guerra humanitaria a cargo de Washington y

sus aliados de la OTAN. La estrategia es tan obvia, que el mundo entero debería darse cuenta, de no mediar la eficiente labor

propagandística y desinformadora de los grandes consorcios mediáticos occidentales.
