With globalist restructuring plans for the Middle East and North Africa looking to be nearly complete, one major hurdle remains. After a relatively easy path to victory in Tunisia and Egypt, and with the project to dismantle and re-privatise the Libyan state nearly complete, only Syria remains as the last serious contender for resistance against a globalist effort to dominate the greater region.

Surpassing previous mass media fabrications, both in scale and boldness, yesterday morning’s Al Jazeera mise-en-scène will surely go down in history as one of the most cynical hoaxes committed by corporate media since the manipulated pictures of Iraqis topplying Saddam Hussein’s statue after the US invasion in 2003.
On the morning of August 22nd 2011, Al Jazeera aired a ‘live’ report from Green Square in Tripoli,which claimed to show the capture of the Libyan capital by rebel forces. Scenes of jubilation and euphoria enveloped Al Jazeera’s reporter Zeina Khodr as she declared: ” Libya is in the hands of the opposition”

NATO’s operation in Libya is a perfectly planned political spectacle which marks the beginning of the second colonization of Africa, declared former Belgian Parliament deputy speaker Lode Vanoost.
‘The US and the European Union have very good professional analysts,’ he said. ‘They are not going to say it out loud, but they know perfectly well that there is not going to be a smooth and peaceful transition. That’s what they are counting on. That will give them a perfect excuse to intervene militarily on the ground.’
NATO will not pull out by the end of its mandate in September, he predicted.
‘I don’t like big words, but what I see is the beginning of the second colonization of Africa,’ Vanoost added.

The UN says more than 2,200 people have been killed in Syria in the six-month-long crackdown on anti-government protesters. And despite growing calls by the Western leaders for Bashar Assad to step down, he says his regime is not in danger.
The city of Hama is around 200 kilometers north of the capital Damascus. A religiously-conservative, Sunni-dominated city, it has been one of the centers of religious tensions in Syria for years. In 1982, during the current President Bashar Assad’s father rule, this city saw a bloody massacre. Amnesty International says over 10,000 people were killed in the regime’s crackdown on the city’s Sunni population.

NATO attacks in Libya have escalated to unprecedented levels and mainstream news reports are rife with disinformation. Here’s what’s been falling through the cracks of corporate media this past week:
“War propaganda has entered a new phase, involving the coordinated action of satellite TV stations. CNN, France24, the BBC and Al Jazeera have become instruments of disinformation used to demonize governments and justify armed aggressions. These practices are illegal under international law and the impunity of the perpetrators must be stopped.” — Thierry Meyssan, Journalists who engage in war propaganda must be held accountable Continue reading
