Assad Assassination Attempt Rumor Sweeps Across Globe
 

I hope this is untrue and Assad is OK, hopefully it's just propaganda :2 cents:

"Syrian President Bashar al Assad may be clinging to life in a Damascus hospital, after allegedly being shot by his Iranian bodyguard Saturday, according to rumors which flooded social media sites overnight.

Right now, everyone will just have to wait and see whether there is any truth to this story. Syrian government officials, by the way, are denying that the president has been hospitalized, and that he will address the country in a few days in a speech.

There are so many conflicting reports coming out of the Middle East right now, it's tough to differentiate between fact and fiction. Only time will tell if there is any truth to the reports that Assad was almost assassinated.

Unlike Mubarek and Gaddafi, Assad is young and strong enough to fight a protracted battle against the rebels in his country. Since the Syrian Civil War was touched off about two years ago, he has shown the same cunning and ruthlessness which his father possessed, and obviously has no intention of giving up his nation without a fight. Last year, another one of Assad's bodyguards blew himself up in a suicide blast.

The army has allegedly shut down all roads leading into the area around the medical center, according to reports."

Yea cause he's a stand up guy that doesn't abuse civilian people in any way :Oh crap

/sarcasm off

Why is that?

i'm standing-by for this one too. should be good!

He's defending against a proxy army which has been sent in to destabilize his nation; the proxy army is controlled by the CIA/MI6. He's not attacking his own people, he's fighting terrorism, defending his people from terror. :2 cents:

Who is M16?

They represent a faction of assault weapons.

trust nobody :2 cents: some arab papers are saying he's dead

seems weird his iranian bodyguard would shoot him, i was under the impression he was very much in bed with the iranian gov

Pigshit.

idiot :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The guy has killed thousands of children. I hope go goes straight to hell.

It is the so-called 'rebels' who kill children :2 cents:

Yes they often do false flag attacks on schools and other places innocent civilians like to gather. deep operator stuff yea know like Mk Ultra.. We will probably all be shot or die due to some random car accident just for talking about this stuff.

Suuuuure he is :uhoh and the people love him cause he's such as great guy :1orglaugh

SYRIA: CIA-MI6 Intel Ops and Sabotage

"Newly discovered documents show how in 1957 Harold Macmillan and President Dwight Eisenhower approved a CIA-MI6 plan to stage fake border incidents as an excuse for an invasion by Syria's pro-western neighbours, and then to "eliminate" the most influential triumvirate in Damascus. "

...

"Further : a ?necessary degree of fear .. frontier incidents and (staged) border clashes?, would ?provide a pretext for intervention? the CIA and SIS [MI6 should use ? capabilitites in both psychological and action fields to augment tension.?

...

"The plan called for funding of a "Free Syria Committee", and the arming of "political factions with paramilitary or other actionist capabilities" within Syria. The CIA and MI6 would instigate internal uprisings, for instance by the Druze in the south, help to free political prisoners held in the Mezze prison, and stir up the Muslim Brotherhood in Damascus.

The planners envisaged replacing the Ba'ath/Communist regime with one that was firmly anti-Soviet, but they conceded that this would not be popular and "would probably need to rely first upon repressive measures and arbitrary exercise of power". "

(Joint US-UK leaked Intelligence Document, London and Washington, 1957)"

Almost everyone there loves Assad :2 cents:

they should have made the suez canal lease longer to avoid all that back then.

.. and they use civilians as shields , hiding in civilians buildings, not wearing uniforms ... and using terrorist means to frighten the population ...


( doesn't that sound like what you guys normally say about hamas... ??? ) ... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I can't be the only one laughing my ass off at those not catching the MI6/M16 typo. Some of you are so ready to fight anything American that you can't even notice a funny joke.

You should ask yourself where your blind hatred comes from. It's not healthy.

ADG

Dead or not, what can i do?

The rebels are no better. Its a no-win situation for that country.

This dude doesn't know shit about what is really going on. There is a reason I'm always calling you, it is because you always bring up the wrong conspiracy theory.

MI6 and the CIA haven't got nothing to do with this.

It's the FIA and CONCACAF you got to really look out for.

Even if he doesn't die in the immediate future, his days are numbered. Does he think life can go back to the way it was after he's tried to murder his people for the last few months? A bullet will find him sooner or later, either from the opposition -- or someone in his circle who has a conscience and can't stand seeing his own people perish like cattle.

the truth is out there if you look in the right places...

It's the Middle East, there are no 'good guys', the people are kept poor and ignorant and the killing goes on whether the US is involved or not.

The best strategy for the West is to drop iPads all over the Middle East until every man, woman and child has one with free access to the Internet.

i'm not so sure. many think that's the problem, we jam our way of live upon these people while we fly drones over their heads.

Because educated people obviously love to have absolutely no say in their own govts and to be ruled by cleric law. Not to mention women all around the world want to have no freedom of choice of whom they can marry or have any sort of freedom of decision with-in their own lives.

Obviously those leaders in the middle east are stand up guys and just have their people's best interests in mind.

what makes it our responsibility to *enlighten* those people huh? did they ask for our *help* in bringing them into the 21st century? fuck no they didn't.

when has spreading freedom and democracy ever worked? it hasn't. fuck. think about it.

what makes you think dropping an ipad on a village that trades goats for currency and hides their women's faces for 1000s of years is going to all the sudden bring them prosperity?

use your head, we've been piping our shit into people's homes for decades and that's exactly the problem.

so far the "arab spring" has lead to less women rights and more violence and death. Like in Iraq.

it has nothing to do with that at all and everything to do with our (YOUR) thinking that our way of life is better than their's and if we just show them these shiny toys that have videos of buffet tables of food and happy shiny people driving brightly colored cars they will all the sudden escape their leader?

that's your plan? wow. history. think about it.

Surely it's the many years you spent in Syria that taught you that.

I don't give a shit about either side but you gotta love these kind of blanket statements made by people like you who know only what they saw on YT or read on conspiracies theory sites.

Don't be a victim of propaganda, watch real interviews with real Syrian people.

In Manchester, UK, all the Asian community know this is a complete scam, they are raising money to help Syria and Assad. :2 cents:

good on ya to keep the information flowing

bringing light into the cave was always a thankless job

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I hate to break it to you but before Sharia Law came to Iran, they were a very progressive society.

This was Iran before the Islamic revolution..

You think they always lived like a bunch of backwoods religious hicks that forced religion on everyone with zero acceptance of freedom of choice? Death by stoning or hanging if you choose not to obey?

You guys are fucking idiots if you think the middle east is the way it is now by choice of the people if they were "given" a choice. The Iranian revolution of 79 happened largely due to economic issues created by their corrupt Monarchy whom was viewed as western friendly.

That monarchy became increasing oppressive and more corrupt until the people revolted and were largely played a fool by allowing the Religious extremist to take the lead as they were the most organized group at the time.

Oh gee that sound familiar with what happened in Egypt? Yea just like the people there wanted freedom but not domination by Western ideas, they too revolted and were taken advantage of by the "Muslim brotherhood" whom you guess it just happened to be the most powerful group ready to take charge when the govt failed.

You think the people in Egypt really want the situation they have right now? Do you really think that's what they protested for? Much the same can be said about Iran in the late 70's early 80's before strict Sharia Law was imposed on them.

you're not breaking anything to me, i was in an ltr with a *persian* gal and visited her family in tehran years ago.

but you are still not getting it.

1st, the thread is about syria.

2. the social structure is 2 classes- ruling class, the have's and the don't have much at all class.

3. you do not get that an ipad/electronic device is a LUXURY item. period. moreover, it is a luxury item with a fancy screen designed to play movies and show pictures.

4. so you think dropping a bunch of electronic luxury items on the lower class is going to somehow magically do what? create prosperity? completely change the class structure? how on earth would the ruling class allow that? that by allowing them to watch reruns of
fresh prince of beverly hills is going to save them? that by giving them access to information is equivalent to giving them some sort of tool for bettering themselves?



we're spoiled here, we think luxury items are the norm and are basic requirements to good living. they are not.

i won't even get into the fact that those people have not asked for our help in bringing them up out of the *doldrums* you think they are in. unsolicited *help*? no.

3 out of 4 syrians are in the lower class of the 2 primary social classes there:

The enduring failure of democracy promotion abroad.
The American quest to spread freedom to autocrat-ruled nations is widely popular among foreign policy wonks. Too bad it doesn't work

http://theweek.com/bullpen/column/22...omotion-abroad

here's another way to look at it

us: hey, your life sucks, here's a fancy electronic device so you can see how cool my life is!

Fuck Assad.

You're as stupid as everyone thinks you are.

How am I the one victim of propaganda when I haven't voiced my opinion one way or another?

You are the one making statements based on the opinion of UK supporters and crap you saw online. pure propaganda. :1orglaugh

If you had researched you would know that there's only a small percentage of people in Syria are do not support him (based on religion). You've assumed after what's been in the mainstream media that there's a legit uprising going on in Syria, which there is not, a proxy army of Western-controlled terrorists have been sent in.

what's the USA version of that formula?

and then fly drones above the country to provide internet access sans governmental firewalls?
