With a civil war now raging in Syria
the world has a situation similar to Libya whereby a fraudulent unelected group of individuals, mainly from
foreign countries, who call themselves the Syrian National Council claiming to
be the opposition forces for the protection of the unarmed citizens of Syrian
and its resources.
It has been reported that the Syrian Opposition Transitional National
Council an unelected group of individuals named Burhan Ghalioun as the chairman
and spokesperson of this self anointed class.
Ghalioun resides and works in France as a professor of political sociology at
the University of Paris and of Syrian French decent?
For the record the creation of the SNC was publicly reported not from
within Syria but from Istanbul Turkey.
Its members are listed @
I think that we in the west, along with the rest of the world, must start
questioning the statements issued from Syrian exiles in France, Turkey,
USA, Canada and throughout the Middle East and Africa.
The Arab Muslim
spring uprisings and the civil war of Libya and the anarchist’s revolution in
Egypt it is becoming increasingly clear that two goals of such uprisings are to
establish Sharia law by incorporating Islam as the state religion and to
achieve financial control of the country’s oil resources.
The ancient Arabic translation of Sharia law relates to a path to the
water hole and considering today’s position could cause the route to the oil
holes?
Syria’s oil and gas reserves
opposite to those of Egypt
and Libya
remains a top secret of its duly elected government and Islam is not currently
the state religion.
Now Syria currently
produces some 401,000 barrels of oil per day compared to the 662,600 (bbl/day) produced
by Egypt and the 1.789
million (bbl/day) of oil produced by Libya.
We should also be aware of other groups like the Syrian
American Council and the Free Syrian Army which is made up of deserters from Syria’s armed
forces.
In all probability the world is witnessing desertions from Syria’s armed
forces on the basis of clan alignment and radical Islamic religious beliefs?
When military personnel go AWOL and put on masks and commence
massacring their former comrades in uniform they are committing treason against
the same people they took an oath and swore to protect against such
lawlessness and anarchy?
These deserters for their deception and treasonous acts are
now subject to appropriate military rule for these traitorous actions and
killings and must be held liable?
The UN and peoples acceptance by condoning such treasonous acts,
committed by deserters from the Syrian government’s armed force, based on their
opinion that the elected Syrian government has “lost their legitimacy” and
that “the free Syrian army of deserters will work hand in hand with the people
to bring the regime down, protect the revolution and the country’s resources”
says it all.
To me it sure sounds like a declaration of war, by Syrian army deserters,
against the duly elected and recognized leaders
by the Syrian people.
Please keep in mind the very important and practical detail that Libya and Egypt are the only nations to
recognize this De facto group of self
anointed and unelected individuals.
The very countries in turmoil because of outside interference during the
Arab Muslim spring uprisings through mob rule and anarchy.
We must also keep in mind that the government of Turkey, which itself has in
the past committed crimes and provocations against the Kurds and the countries
of Greece, Israel and Iraqi, has now threatened to cut off electricity its
supplies to the Syrian people.
This action by Turkey
is a crime against humanity and contrary to the UN charter as are the economic
sanctions that the US
and other countries have initiated against the Syrian people and its government.
One would think that after what happened in Egypt and especially after the Libya fiasco
now is the time, as a result of such self anointed and unelected
opposition groups formed by De facto entities, for the UN and most legitimate
government representative at the United Nations to start abiding by the
founding charter of the UN?
The charter states that nothing contained in the present Charter shall
authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially
within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members
to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter.
The civil war in Syria
is definitely under the domestic jurisdiction of the state of Syria. As such
the time has come for France,
Turkey, USA, Canada,
Libya, Egypt, Iran
and the displaced Palestine's to all butt out of
the internal domestic affairs of Syria.

Up DATES
MacKay does not rule out
military pressure on Syria
@
Canada needs only a
defensive military not an aggressor war machine capability to respond to the
internal conflicts of other nations.
Civilians and
army deserters are also mounting violence against the elected government’s
constitutional authority and its civilian supporters within Syria.
Unconfirmed one
sided biased reports of mounting violence against civilians distributed by the
media that do not mention that army deserters and civilian attempts of lawless
by mob rule to overthrow Syria’s duly elected government constitutionally
linked to a single political movement and under internationally laws are
criminal act of aggression and crime against humanity.
Further nothing
in the United Nations charter authorizes its members to intervene in matters
which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state and
attempts of lawless mob rule to overthrow any duly elected power
constitutionally linked to a single political movement under internationally
laws is a criminal act of aggression and crime against humanity. Nov 21, 2011 9:26 AM
nehad ismail • Thanks Peter. I am not going to
argue over all the contentious points but would like to say that the Syrian
regime is doomed. It is going to be bloody and messy but the brutal regime has
to go. In the coming weeks the SNC will be recognized by the EU, the US and most
Middle Eastern countries. This is my perspective as some one who has been
invovled in Middle Eastern Affairs for many years.
Hi Nehad, your
perception could be right but that does not legitimize the SNC as the official
opposition of the Republic
of Syria.
If the regime is doomed then the Republic
of Syria along with its constitution
and all the legal citizens of Syria
will once again be controlled by outside interests and the establishment of
Sharia law as most likely will be the case in Libya
and Egypt
with more Middle Eastern countries to soon follow.
Unfortunately the EU and the US do not have a clue as to what is truly taking
place throughout the Regime similar to their mishandling of the Croatian,
Serbs, republic of Krajina, Bosnia, Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serbs conflicts
that are presently on hold. But that is for another day.
Until the western powers understand that it is the radical Muslim's desire for
establishing Sharia law that is driving and behind all of the conflicts within
the Middle East nothing to do with democracy or the displaced Palestinians,
whose rightful homeland is Jordan,
the world shall continue to witness mob rule by malcontent anarchists and civil
wars throughout this region.
From my perspective your logic and that of your friends, the Western Powers,
Pundits and experts should also be calling for the downfall of the following
countries and their brutal regimes to go:
1. United Arab Emirates
2. Qatar
Oman
3. North Korea
4. Morocco
5. Monaco
6. Liechtenstein
7. Libya
8. Kuwait
9. Jordan
10. Fiji
11. Eritrea
12. Egypt
13. Brunei
14. Bhutan
15. Bahrain,
16. Sahrawi Republic
17. Tonga
18. People's Republic of China
19. Turkmenistan
20. Vietnam
Take care Nehad,
stay active, healthy and safe in this crazy world of puppet leaders.
nehad ismail •Thank you for taking the trouble to
respond. I do really appreciate and understand what you say and I would like to
assure you that the Syrian people will not accept an Islamic System ruling by
Sharia. The overwhelming majority are secular moderate people. Even among the
Islamists there are reasonable people who give and take and have no intention
of turning Syria
into an Islamic state. The people would not have it. They will revolt as they
are doing now. Nobody in the Middle East
except a handful of fanatics would like to see aTaliban type of regime. Enjoy
your Sunday Peter and have a good week.

nehad ismail • Hi
Peter I agree the Syrian National Council has not been elected by the people of
Syria, but has been
appointed by hundreds of opposition members meeting in Istanbul. For over eight months the
opposition has been badgered and pressured by Western Powers, Pundits and
experts to form a committee to speak on their behalf, hence the SNC. The
members of the Council might not be true democrats, but they are not fraudulent
as you desribe them. They are respected opposition figures and I happen to know
some of them. Anyone reading your article in the Middle
East would think the article has been written by a Pro-regime
writer. This regime has killed many thousands and is still killing protesters.
The regime has committed crimes against humanity and the ICC is preparing a
case against the Syrian leadership.
Hello Nehad, the SNC from its exile base in Paris and Turkey
is a nondemocratic self appointed entity without lawful authority and to
suggest otherwise is incorrect.
Syria is a Republic with power constitutionally
linked to a single political party and not a constitutional monarchy like the
United Arab Emirates, Monaco, Morocco, Liechtenstein, Kuwait, or Jordan, to
name a few, where the Monarch not
an elected leader exercises power.
From my point of view and collaborated from
your statement “that the
opposition has been badgered and pressured by Western Powers, Pundits and
experts to form a committee to speak on their behalf,” hence the
SNC.” Thus this de facto group is speaking
on behalf of their puppet masters and not the Syrian people.
Further they are for whatever reasons
personal and otherwise are in opposition to the Syria’s existing power
constitutionally linked to a single political movement.
Since none of them were duly elected by a
majority of the Syrian people but “badgered and
pressured by Western Powers, Pundits and experts,” I stand by my opinion and statement
that it is a fraudulent organization regardless of their individual esteem.
My article is not pro revolution, anarchists
or prop regime but pro facts and as you are well aware civil wars, as brutally
as they are, with both factions killing one another.
Protester’s, rebels, insurgents and army
deserters are killing people as are Syrian government forces and their
supports. Maybe the world does not like it but it is a Syrian domestic civil
war under the jurisdiction of the state.
As such it must be decided by the Syrian
people from both sides fighting within Syria
without outside intervening by western powers, pundits, academic experts or the
United Nations for their own political and economic interests as was the case
in Libya and Egypt.
It remains my position and opinion that this
civil war in Syria is definitely under the domestic jurisdiction of the state
of Syria and as such it is time that France, Turkey, USA, Britain, Canada,
Libya, Egypt, Iran, the displaced Palestine's fighters and all others to butt
out of the internal domestic affairs of Syria.
