Ignorance in Action:

The Self-Appointed Arbiters of Righteousness Are Destroying Syria

Rasa - In a place like Syria, facts do not cease to exist just because they are largely ignored by some ignorant people lecturing thousands of miles away at UN headquarters in New York.

RNA - It is here that no one is entitled to be ignorant, even if that person happens to be US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power. We shouldn't take her seriously when she comes up with a silly list to single out 12 Syrian military leaders, including ten generals and two colonels, who she alleges are responsible for leading attacks on civilians during what she calls “the Syrian Civil War,” and will “one day face justice.”

True, there is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. However, when that cult decides to go anti-intellectualism and with arrogant impatience, the international civil society has to react. For there is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

1- What we see in Syria goes against everything Samantha Power lists at the UN. It’s a US-led invasion, not “civil war.” The Syrian people are united and determined to defend their country and their sovereignty; their rejection of efforts to divide the population along sectarian lines; and their determined emphasis that what is going on is not a civil war but a foreign imposed invasion.

2- With a helping hand from Russia and Iran, the Army and volunteer forces are all one in upholding the sovereign integrity of Syria under the able leadership of President Bashar Assad and as per UN Charter. The country has remained intact, and will never fall into the hands of the globalist criminal syndicate, which has been using its mainstream media networks, various intelligence agencies and armed proxy forces in subduing all remaining independent countries in the Middle East and North Africa.

3- As per numerous UN reports and those by Human Rights Council, Amnesty International and other rights groups and aid agencies, it is the proxy forces of the globalist criminal syndicate that have taken the civilian population hostage in places like Aleppo. Together with ISIL and Al-Qaeda, these goons are using people as human shields to slow down the liberation of the besieged city by allied forces.

4- Many civilians trapped in ISIL-controlled territory in Northern Syria are being killed by airstrikes from US coalition aircraft. According to Western media outlets and monitoring groups like Airwars tracking operations in Raqqa, the death toll continues to climb as US-backed forces push forward in an increasingly bloody offensive in the area. In all these independent reports the Syrian Army and volunteer forces are never implicated. Even the Pentagon confirms it has reports of civilian casualties by the US coalition air strikes. The question is how come Power never bothers to name in her report those who order and those who carry out these deadly strikes?

5- The US ambassador to UN should hold her head in shame for not naming and shaming those who created this whole mess in the first place -  the coterie of hypocrites which arrogates to itself the monopoly on meting out death and destruction to those who won’t get with the program. The US has involved itself endlessly in the Syrian affairs. Major interests include a gas pipeline to Europe via Qatar, military bases, sale of weapons, propping up puppet regimes and terrorist groups, and limiting Iranian influence – all this lavishly in support of Israel and its nuclear arsenal.

6- By all accounts, people are dying in Syria for Israel. According to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, “The Obama administration has deliberately provoked the civil war in Syria as the best way to help Israel. It was the right thing to personally threaten Bashar Assad’s family with death. The best way to help Israel is to use force in Syria to overthrow the government.”

There is no alternate history here. Much of the current carnage and refugee problem is traceable to US actions in the war. By refusing to hold her government to account, Samantha Power struggles to shift the international community’s focus away from the fact that the US-led globalist criminal syndicate is the main reason why so many people are dying in Syria – notwithstanding the growing terrorism and mayhem that is spreading nicely to Europe.

Judging from the outcomes, the facts are telling: Containing Iran and destruction of Syria is the plan - which have had an uncompromising stance towards Israel. The self-appointed arbiters of righteousness have proven they are willing to do just about anything inhumane, criminal and thuggish to help Israel hang onto power. It takes an effort of will to believe it has not been planned this way.
