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.
The Paralysing of Humanity in Gaza
When it was first announced that there would be a vaccination campaign against polio in the Gaza strip, I could only think of Michael Leunig’s poignant cartoon, lampooning Australia’s heartless PM John Howard for his collaboration with the US in the murder of Iraqi children in 2003. He was reacting to one case in particular… Continue reading The Paralysing of Humanity in Gaza
Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.
The SBS news broadcast on August 10th covered two related events – an Israeli missile strike on a school beside a mosque in Gaza city which was sheltering hundreds of displaced people, and an alleged Russian strike on a Kostantinivka supermarket in Donetsk. The presentation of these two lethal strikes was quite different – giving… Continue reading Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.
Whose Missile?
Above is a comparison between the video shot of the missile that hit part of the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday 8th July, with a view from Google Earth looking in the same direction – NORTH. This shows that the missile descended steeply towards its intended target following launch from somewhere WEST of… Continue reading Whose Missile?
Collateral Genocide
Some of the first images to appear following the Al Qassem brigades’ October 7th invasion of ‘Israel’ showed dozens of destroyed vehicles around the site of the Nova Sukkot festival, without any explanation of why they were crashed and abandoned or who was in them. Later these cars were collected together as seen above in… Continue reading Collateral Genocide
On Gaza Beach
On the very day when Israel was ordered by the ICJ to submit a report on the measures it had taken to avoid acts of genocide since the court’s ruling on January 26th, Israeli tanks and soldiers opened fire on crowds gathered on Gaza’s ‘corniche’ – Al Rashid street – close to the heavily damaged… Continue reading On Gaza Beach
Odious Theocracies and their agents.
In my previous article on the rules for kidnappers and hostages I didn’t draw attention to one of the highest profile cases of ‘kidnapping’, and the price paid by Israel to retrieve their hostage. I wrote about this in some detail in the now kidnapped American Herald Tribune, details of which we may need reminding… Continue reading Odious Theocracies and their agents.
