Kerry’s Bleeding Heart – Give Us a Break!
America’s top diplomat John Kerry appears to have developed a
bleeding heart of emotional concern for Syria. So too have his
British and French counterparts.By

- After nearly five years of relentless killing, destruction and
suffering in Syria, the Western leaders are saying it’s now time
for peace – and hence the talks in Vienna, convened primarily at the
behest of Kerry’s shuttle diplomacy last week.
“It’s time to stop the
bleeding and to start the building,” said the US Secretary of State
in the Austrian capital. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
featured prominently at the summit, which was also attended
by arch-rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. Delegates are to meet in the
next two weeks to pursue, allegedly, a political resolution of the
Syrian conflict.
Anyone with an informed understanding of the war
in Syria will not buy Kerry’s “bleeding heart” for peace. Nor that
of Washington’s lackeys, including Britain, France, Turkey, or the
Gulf Arab monarchies Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
These countries have been responsible
for instigating and fuelling a covert war for regime change
in Syria. An entirely criminal enterprise that has been instrumented
by funding, arming and training an array of foreign mercenary armies
comprising some of the most blood-thirsty terror groups on the
planet. The notion peddled by the Western news media of “moderate
rebels” is an execrable fiction that belies the truth of how
Washington and its allies have attempted to destroy Syria and
terrorise the population into submitting to their objective
of overthrowing the elected government of President Bashar al-Assad.
“World powers in quest
for peace,” intones the BBC, with the typical whitewashing service
of the incredulous Western media.
The Western powers have drenched Syria in blood
since March 2011. The regime-change conspiracy has been well
documented. Former French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas disclosed
in 2013 that he was approached by British officials back in 2009 –
two years before the conflict erupted – with the proposition of a
secret plot to overthrow Assad. To his credit Dumas refused, knowing
that it was a criminal interference in a sovereign state.
British-based academic Sharmine Narwani, reporting
from Syria, has compiled how the initial protests were infiltrated
by armed agents who shot down protesters and Syrian state forces –
thus sparking what the Western media mendaciously refer to as a
“civil war” and “pro-democracy uprising”. There was no such thing.
It was a US-led subversion from the outset, the kind of black ops
that the Western imperialist powers specialise in. A relevant recent
example is the CIA-sponsored coup in Ukraine which was consummated
by the notorious sniper massacre in Kiev on February 20, 2014.
American, British, French and Turk special forces
have been embedded in Syria from the get-go. Saudi Arabia and Qatar
have funnelled billions of dollars worth of weapons into the country
to fuel the “jihadists”. The CIA has delivered anti-tank TOW
missiles, as well as the finest Toyota jeeps to transport the
mercenary armies, who openly wave Al Qaeda and Islamic State flags.
We could go on. The ratlines have been well covered elsewhere.
So, are we to seriously
believe that at this late hour, Washington and its minions are
suddenly overcome with humanitarian concern for Syria? Only perhaps
if you rely on the New York Times, CNN, BBC, the Guardian and so
on for “news” – which translated from Orwellian speak into plain
language means “shameless propaganda”.
This, by the way, is why the US and its lackeys
are gunning for Russian media outlets. Because the Russian media are
actually providing a proper journalistic information service,
exposing the criminal fraudulence and terror-sponsorship of Western
governments in the Syria mayhem.
Anyway, back to the bleeding hearts of Kerry,
Hammond and Fabius. What is really jerking this triumvirate
of rogues into convening “peace talks” is this: Russia’s military
intervention in Syria, beginning on September 30, is wiping out the
Western-sponsored terror armies. Over 1,600 targets smashed over the
past month. Russia is doing what the Western powers claimed that
they were doing for the past year (another cynical ruse laundered
by the Western media.)
This is why the Western terror masters are all of a
sudden running to Vienna for “negotiations”. Their covert war
in Syria is being eviscerated on the ground by the combined forces
of Russia, the Syrian national army and Iranian military advisors.
The West’s billion-dollar terror assets are being annihilated.
Kerry wants to stop the bleeding alright – the
bleeding of regime-change mercenaries that the West and its Turk and
Arab clients have invested in over the past five years.
In desperation, the Western powers are now turning
to the political lever, as opposed to their soon-to-be defunct
covert military lever.
The “political process” that the West has
belatedly adopted is being pursued now to achieve their objective
of regime change in Syria by other means, because the military means
are being pulverised by Vladimir Putin’s bold intervention.
Washington and its cronies are pushing for a
ceasefire, elections and a “political transition”. Saudi Arabia and
Qatar advocating elections?
Come off it. These despots behead and crucify
anyone calling for elections in their own feudalistic Western-backed
fiefdoms.
This weekend, John Kerry’s subordinate at the US
State Department, Tony Blinken, announced, hot on the heels, of the
Vienna summit that Washington is to ply $100 million into Syria to
“support the moderate opposition.”
According to Voice of America, Blinken said the
money “would be given to help the Syrian opposition boost local
governments and civil societies… for keeping schools open, restoring
access to clean water and electricity, and supporting an independent
media.”
This hoary formula is
straight out of the US State Department’s manual for inciting
“colour revolutions” as we saw in Ukraine, Georgia and several other
countries.
The despicable difference in Syria is that the
“civil society” and infrastructure supposedly being repaired with
$100 million has been destroyed in the first place by Washington’s
nefarious regime-change war. The apparent generous largesse of the
US government in Syria is not just about infiltrating the country
politically, it is also a disgusting bribe dangled before a
war-torn, devastated nation.
Washington and its state-sponsoring terrorist cronies
are reaching for the political lever not out of concern to broker
peace, but out of necessity to engineer regime change
through political subversion because Russia has nullified their
covert violent methods.
The Western powers are endeavouring to co-opt
Russia and Iran to contrive a political framework aimed at achieving
their core goal – ousting President Assad.
Russia and Iran are not buying this ruse,
insisting that the political future of Syria is the sovereign
prerogative of the Syrian people.
There is no need for a “new political process”.
The principle of sovereignty in Syria was already established in the
Geneva Communiqué three years ago.
What Russia and Iran should do is defeat the
Washington-led axis politically, as they are doing militarily. Peace
in Syria will be achieved when Washington, principally, desists
from its criminal scheming and finally abides by international law.
As for John Kerry’s “bleeding heart”. The
blood-soaked hands of Washington, Britain, France, and the other
criminal states, are the far more real and pertinent issue.
