Five days before the Persian spring festival of Noruz, the US-UK coalition launched an unprovoked bombing attack on Yemen, targeting resistance sites in Sa’ada and Taiz, Hodeidah port and the capital Sana’a. Although the date of this attack – the Ides of March – already suggested some significant advance planning, this was confirmed by the… Continue reading The Ides of Ramadan

The Imposter at the Arabian Table
At an emergency meeting of the Arab League in Cairo, convened following ‘Israel’s’ breaking of the ceasefire agreement on March 1st, there was an unexpected guest – the so-called ‘transitional president’ from Syria, Ahmed al Sharaa. For those who noticed the former leader of terrorist organisation HTS walking with the kings in Al Sisi’s flower-bedecked… Continue reading The Imposter at the Arabian Table
Syria, and the Lies you Told Us.
For fourteen years you lied to us about Syria – how the brave Syrian people rose up in protest against a despotic regime and were hit with bullets and bombs. How their calls for help from Western governments were ignored or met with hand-wringing, even when the regime used chemical weapons against them. You told… Continue reading Syria, and the Lies you Told Us.
Celebrating Genocide
A pivotal moment in the history of White colonisation of the Middle East was reached last week, when Netanyahu presented his mate Donald Trump with the ultimate symbol of hatred, venality and state-sanctioned terrorism. The gold-plated pager was mounted trophy-like on a decorative wooden base – either Cedar of Lebanon or Lebanese Olive wood –… Continue reading Celebrating Genocide
Welcome to Davos, and the Business of Killing.
If it were possible to die from cognitive disjunction, there would be few of us left to record the true course of recent events. And if the snapshot above doesn’t cause you some sort of paroxysm, welcome to your new world of invented reality! The extraordinary meeting between Britain’s notorious war criminal ‘Sir’ Tony Blair,… Continue reading Welcome to Davos, and the Business of Killing.
Shaking hands with the Devil
In what should be the defining image of the ‘jihadist coup’ in Damascus, Germany’s foreign Minister Annalina Baerbock shook hands with the White Helmets outside Saydnaya prison. While this handshake with a male member of the bogus ‘civil defence’ organisation was not actually shown in the DW news report below, it was clearly about to… Continue reading Shaking hands with the Devil
Jaish al Islam returns to Douma.
Since the BBC’s correspondent visited Douma, as I reported previously, there have been many developments in Syria following the ‘jihadist coup’ or ‘Black Revolution’. Three of the main instigators and orchestrators of the takfiri takeover of the Syrian government have appeared in Damascus for talks with the suit-wearing throat-slitters – Turkiye’s Hakan Fidan to talk… Continue reading Jaish al Islam returns to Douma.
Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Only one thing would have been worse than the shocking news that Bashar al Assad had been driven to leave his home and country by a tide of barbarians – that he would suffer the terrible fate of Moammar Qadhafi, hunted down by French and British jets and finally butchered by a mob. It was… Continue reading Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Revisiting Douma, 80 months on.
Following the frankly unbelievable events of last week, that somehow allowed the ‘peaceful’ removal of Syria’s democratically elected President to be replaced with an unelected and unchosen mob of Salafist terrorists, Western media reporters who never set foot in Damascus for ten years were ready to swarm over the corpse of secular and socialist Syria… Continue reading Revisiting Douma, 80 months on.
Hama – a brief history.
On a visit to Syria in May 2010, one of the things that made the greatest impression on me was the sound of Hama’s ancient waterwheels. That is saying a lot, given it was after a visit to Palmyra – but there lies a connection, as these enormous wheels are actually Roman water pumps, lifting… Continue reading Hama – a brief history.
