What The People Said About Syria (added)

These articles I site here are from the Global Research E-newsletter and others. So I am going back to November of last year (2011).

Yes I remember the "Arab Spring"  concocted by the media and I was really interested in this. Conspiracy theories were rampant those days and it was very difficult to decipher the facts from the rest of the garbage. So I collected some articles in my Gmail account. This article starts like this:

The name "Arab Spring" is a catch phrase concocted in distant offices in Washington, London, Paris, and Brussels by individuals and groups who, other than having some superficial knowledge of the region, know very little about the Arabs. What is unfolding amongst the Arab peoples is naturally a mixed package. Insurgency is part of this package as is opportunism. Where there is revolution, there is always counter-revolution.

The upheavals in the Arab World are not an Arab "awakening" either; such a term implies that the Arabs have always been sleeping while dictatorship and injustice has been surrounding them. In reality the Arab World, which is part of the broader Turko-Arabo-Iranic World, has been filled with frequent revolts that have been put down by the Arab dictators in coordination with countries like the United States, Britain, and France. It has been the interference of these powers that has always acted as a counter-balance to democracy and it will continue to do so.

Before I read this I have seen some articles about the "21st century US of A".  But them were just books. If I believed all of them I will still be believing that atom is  the smallest particle in universe. The teachers never said, that, this information is only at the present moment as we cannot see inside the atom. Damn here I go off track. Do forgive me. to be more enlightened read the rest here.

In Oct 2011 I read an article about what happened in the past. How US, UK and Europe manhandled Latin America to submission. Latin America became enslaved in policies of US, UK and  Europian countries and you and me know what happened. Countries like Venezuela ultimately got rid of the terrorists like World Bank etc. 

The image of Latin America portrayed by the mass media and held by the educated public is a region of frequent coups, periodical revolutions, perpetual military dictatorships, alternating boom and bust economies and an ever-present International Monetary Fund (IMF) dictating economic policy.

In contrast the same opinion makers plus their academic counterparts project images of the United States and the European Union as stable societies, with steady economic growth, incremental expansion of social welfare programs, resolving issues via consensual compromises and practicing sound fiscal policies.

In recent times, the better part of the current decade, these images have taken on the character of ideological dogmas – they no longer correspond to reality. In fact a good argument can be made that the roles have been reversed: the US and EU are in perpetual crises and Latin America, at least most of the major countries, have experienced stability and growth which is the envy (or should be) of Washington pundits and financial commentators. This ‘role reversal’ has been recognized by many US, EU and Asian investors and multinationals, even as respectable journalistic hacks for the Financial Times, NY Times and Wall Street Journal still write about vulnerabilities, imbalances and other weaknesses while grudgingly acknowledging the dynamic growth of the region.

Progressive opinion is equally at fault, focusing on the ‘advances’ of the left regimes but overlooking the underlying dynamics affecting most of the region and thus losing sight of the new points of conflict and contention.

We will proceed to outline the contrasting realities between the crises ridden “North” (US/EU) and the sustained growth of the “South” (South America). The analysis will raise questions of whether the South American experience is transferable to the North and what ‘structural adjustments' would be necessary to pull the US and EU out of the downward spiral of stagnation and violent conflicts which have characterized these regions for the better part of the past decade.

This is a very nicely, unbiasely research gem. please go here to get the best of it. I will add on the rest as I get time.(Cor Blimey said me donkey to the wise man...I managed to get the dxxxxx "Quote" to work salute)

I don't know how much this story has anything to do with the war. But this happened just after the US elections and Obaba went to turkey and addressed the parliament in Turkey. This is reported from Jerusalam, and could be a bit of mud flingimg. Do not forget to see the words like 'allegedly' is thrown in for good measure.

A Syrian national was arrested in connection with a plot to assassinate President Obama during a key speech he is set to deliver tomorrow, a Saudi newspaper claimed today.

      

The newspaper, al-Watan, reported Turkish security services arrested a Turkish resident of Syrian origins Friday who confessed to a plot to stab the U.S. president with a knife during his speech tomorrow to the U.N.'s Alliance of Civilizations summit in Istanbul. The man allegedly told  interrogators he was working with at least three other people to execute his assassination attempt.
