Colonialist and underling media used the occasion of International Women’s Day to try to insult Syrian women by engaging in criminal lies about their country, and by ignoring the voices of Syrian women. Not one report on International Women’s Day and Syrian women noted that they have had full suffrage since 7 years after the French occupiers were evacuated. They hold jobs. They receive equal pay for their work.

The Syrian Constitution states that if the President becomes incapacitated, the Vice President assumes the Presidency. Syrian Vice President, Najah al Attar, PhD (her father was a partisan who fought to eject the French occupiers).

Bouthaina Shaaban, Ph.D., is a senior advisor to President al Assad.

Syrian women flocked to the polls on election day, 3 June 2014. The same colonialist media attempting to insult them on International Women’s Day denigrated their votes by denigrating the election.

In their impotent attempts to insult Syrian women on the occasion of International Women’s Day, war pimping MSM claimed to have interviewed Syrian women living under occupation of foreign-owned terrorists in Eastern Ghouta. The interviews were so absurdly pathetic, one may wonder if the scripts were written by Heather Nauert. Reputedly, the lone concerns of these women were being liberated by the Syrian Arab Army; one allegedly spends her day engaged in the impossible, “teaching people how to react when struck by chemical weapons.” If actual Syrian women were interviewed, they were likely handed scripts, and threatened with being caged, and driven through the neighbor, like these women: Kidnapped Syrian women put into cages are not considered part of the #MeToo movement.

This is Hayat. After the liberation and reunification Aleppo, she spoke of life under the moderate rebels. It included torture, murder, starvation, organ theft, imprisonment. She showed her hand, gnarled and burnt. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, no western or Gulfies reporter attempted to interview her.

Nor did anyone contact Souria Habib Ali, to inquire how she manages to survive after burying six of her children.

The most skanky of fake reporting on International Women’s Day and Syrian women, came from Middle East Eye. This source is the illicit offspring of the incestuous merger of The Guardian and al Jazeera. Jazeera, owned by the terror-sponsoring dirty gas station toilet, Qatar, has a history of violence against Syrian women. It was involved in massacres in Lattakia countryside in 2013, and the kidnapping of hundreds of women and their children. MEE claimed that upwards of 10,000 women were taking buses to the Syrian border, in [fake] solidarity with 400,000 non-existent women in Syrian jails. MEE noted that its extraordinary data (including more than doubling the distance to the Syrian border) was provided by the [woman-less] Turkish NGO, IHH. It did not mention that IHH has engaged in terrorist activities in the SAR. Also omitted from its report on the occasion of International Women’s Day is that most of the 350,000 foreign terrorists to invade Syria have come through the Turkish border.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, none of the media criminal liars attempted to speak with Syrian women who survived the al Rashin massacre on 15 April 2017. In the mayhem, many children were kidnapped, believed to have been taken to Turkey.

Military service in the SAR is compulsory for men. Since the beginning of the terrorist war against the SAR, thousands of women have volunteered to defend their homeland against invading foreigners.

Mervat Sa’ad was the first woman soldier martyred while defending her country against the terrorists supported by the media on the occasion of International Women’s Day.

Ninety-percent Muslim, the Syrian Arab Republic has always been secular. This photograph, 1964, shows Syrian Christian women commemorating Virgin Mary Month, in a Muslim-majority neighborhood in Aleppo.

This photograph of Syrian women, Christian and Muslim, shows shared grief upon hearing of the martyrdom of Sheikh Muhammed al Bouti. He was murdered with dozens of others in mosque, by moderate opposition forces.

Syrian women are journalists. Yara Abbas was embedded with the Syrian Arab Army when she was killed by sniper fire in May 2013.

The following are some photographs of Syrian women and Syrian girls who were not here to celebrate International Women’s Day, because they were killed in terrorist bombings by the moderate opposition.

Sisters MarahKhadour and Batool Khador were among 24 massacred in twin moderate suicide bombings in Homs, 26 January 2015.

Sidra Ahmed was among 10 massacred on 2 September 2015, when a van filled with explosives was remotely detonated outside the Imad Ali school in Lattakia.

On 1 January, 9-year-old Sham Abji was kidnapped from her grandparents home. She was raped, suffocated, and her body was thrown into the water. In Syria, the crime of rape is punishable by death.

One girl and one woman were among 9 Syrians slaughtered in Bab Touma, 23 January, by “legitimate armed opposition” terrorists of Ghouta, supported by slime mold msm on the occasion of International Women’s Day, and every day. The besieged terrorists chose after school to launch their mortars and missiles.

Astonishing as it may seem, adult Syrian women dress themselves. The exception to such adult-like behavior, is when Syrian women are under [besieged] terrorist occupation; then their collective wardrobe is dictated to them.

The Syrian women kidnapped from Lattakia with the help of al Jazeera terrorists, had their clothing dictated (note how they fumble with head coverings in the interview with a woman forced to thank her kidnappers).

When the survivors were finally released in exchange for imprisoned alQaeda terrorists, these women were in niqab.

On the more than dozen occasions when CNN’s Clarissa Ward of Death illegally entered Syria to embed herself with takfiri her sense of style was dramatically changed.

CNN’s Arwa Damon was forced to pile on the fabric, when she illegally entered the SAR, to meet with terrorists occupying Idlib.

In August 2011 — during the early days of the foreign invasion of Syria, when all the moderate terrorists were members of the FSA — Syrian television journalist, Yara Al Saleh was kidnapped along with her crew, some of whom were murdered. Her clothing then became dictated. Her tormentors demanded that the government negotiate with a terrorist in Saudi occupied Arabia.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, British Prime Minister Theresa May spent one million taxpayer pounds to welcome Saudi tyrant bin Salman — the savage who funds rapists, kidnappers, and murderers of Syrian women, and who continues the genocidal bombing campaign against Yemen.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, pustulant msm has cheered violence against Syrian women.

Ya rab, may International Women’s Day 2018 see Syrian women free again, and every inch of Syria liberated.

New Delhi: The Islamic State, like Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda has been consciously created by the U.S. This has now been confirmed by the release of classified documents of the US Defense Intelligence Agency by Judicial Watch that obtained these through a federal lawsuit in the US.

It was doubly confirmed in an interview to Al Jazeera more recently by Lt General Michael T.Flynn , the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, commander of the Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, and chair of the Military Intelligence Board from July 24, 2012, to August 2, 2014.

The first reports of this filtered out from the Syrian government over three years ago under the US-Turkey sponsored siege by rebel groups. Senior advisor to President Bashar al Assad, Bouthaina Shaaban told this writer in Damascus in 2012 that the al Qaeda had joined the rebels being pumped with arms and money by the governments opposing the Syrian government. Shortly after she said that new forces had joined the Opposition and could be more dangerous than even the al Qaeda.

These claims from the Syrian government were stoutly denied by the U.S, Turkey and other countries involved in pushing the rebels through the conflict. A denial that has continued till recent days, despite the emergence of the more lethal Islamic State that is controlling large tracts of land now in both Syria and Iraq.

The DIA report, formerly classified “SECRET//NOFORN” and dated August 12, 2012, was circulated widely among various government agencies, including CENTCOM, the CIA, FBI, DHS, NGA, State Department and others.

The DIA report states that

The West, Gulf countries, and Turkey [which] support the [Syrian] opposition…There is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime…

The cynicism and the manipulations that have laced US strategy for West Asia are again visible in the following:

C. If the situation unravels there is the possibility of establishing a declared or undeclared Salafist principality in Eastern Syria (Hasaka and Der Zor), and this is exactly what the supporting powers to the opposition want, in order to isolate the Syrian regime, which is considered strategic depth of the Shia expansion (Iraq and Iran).

D. The deterioration of the situation has dire consequences on the Iraqi situation and are as follows:
1. This creates the ideal atmosphere for AQI to return to its old pockets in Mosul and Ramadi, and will provide a renewed momentum under the presumption of unifying the Jihad among Sunni Iraq and Syria, and the rest of the Sunnis in the Arab world against what it considers one enemy, the dissenters. ISI could also declare an Islamic state through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria, which will create gave danger in regards to unifying Iraq and the protection of its territory.

In an intense interview with Al Jazeera where he was questioned thoroughly US military’s top intelligence man admitted that extremist insurgency that turned into the Islamic State has been stoked by US policy in West Asia. General Flynn said that clearly there was something wrong with American policy and strategy for the region as the number of designated terrorist groups had doubled. He said that the war had given rise to the Islamic State, and the US should have focused not on conflict but perhaps on solutions. He said that history was not going to be kind when it looked on the US involvement in Iraq. He agreed that the ‘system’ was guilty of war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the prisons in Iraq had contributed directly to the rise of the Islamic State.

General Flynn confirmed in the interview that the US had information about the Islamic State in 2012 saying, “I don’t know that they turned a blind eye, I think it was a decision. I think it was willful decision… It was a willful decision to do what they’re doing”.

Bouthaina, a dynamic and bold advisor to President Assad, had full details right from the very beginning of the composition of the so called rebels who were set up by the US, Turkey and the Gulf countries to fight the Syrian regime. It started with the funding of border smuggling and arms mafias, who were joined by various small insurgent groups in the region. The Syrian Army that despite being largely Sunni in composition stayed united behind President Assad right from the beginning till date was able to tackle these groups at the onset. However, these were then added to by what the Syrian government had identified as the Salafists, the al Qaeda and other more hardline groups operating in the region. Arms and money was poured into the region to fund these groups as the powers behind them were determined to get Assad out.

The dual policy remains with the Islamic State being supported by Turkey that has been working closely with the US against Syria. The recent announcement by the Turkish government to crack down on the IS surprised many, but as was exposed by the Kurds this was again a cover to bomb and kill them. The Kurds who for long have been seen by Ankara as the real threat have been mercilessly attacked by Erdogan’s government for, as their spokespersons have said, “fighting the Islamic State.”

India does not seem to have factored any of this into its policy for the region.In fact there are doubts now whether it is even watching the region as closely as it should, given its proximity to West Asia and the millions of Indian nationals employed there. Some notice of the developments have been taken by retired officials. Former Additional Secretary in the Cabinet secretariat and a well informed intelligence officer Vappala Balanchandran took note of this in an article for The Citizen where he had asked ,”Was the core of this group trained by NATO countries and supported by leading Arab nations in their effort to destabilize the Syrian Assad regime? Is the Jihadi war against Iraq an unanticipated by product of those efforts?” More recently retired Ambassador Mk Bhadrakumar has pointed to these developments in his regular column for Rediff.com where he has pointed towards a sequel to this in Afghanistan. He wrote, The specious plea being advanced by Washington currently is that the US wants to turn Afghanistan into a regional hub to wage a war against the IS — a war by the US and its partners, which, in the opinion of Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, could last not less than a generation.

This Dempsey guy is a smart general, isn’t it? It was under his watch that the IS was finessed and deployed as the instrument of US regional policy to overthrow the established government in Syria and to force Baghdad to allow the return of American troops to Iraq – and now he pops up in Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s office in Kabul one fine day two weeks ago to make the proposition that Washington might need an open-ended military presence in Afghanistan for another 15-20 years to wage the global war against the IS.”
