Social media is playing a vital role in Syria’s conflict, as both sides try to shape domestic and international opinion in their favour. Chilling videos of acts of brutality have the power to go viral and be broadcast on global TV networks – but sometimes, the pictures aren’t everything they appear to be. Oksana Boyko has more.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011. Many people, including security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.
While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames ”outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups” for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.
Press TV has talked with author and historian Webster Griffin Tarpley to further discuss the issue.
The following is an approximate transcript of the interview. Continue reading Violence Erupts in Northern Lebanon As Feltman of State Department, Lieberman-Graham-McCain Amigos Clique Seek NATO Takeover of Tripoli-Kleyate Region to Advance Attack on Syria.
UN finally realizes terrorist groups responsible for Syrian bombings
by Madison Ruppert

Since the violence in Syria first broke out, Syrian President Bashar al Assad stated that the attacks focused on civilians were the work of foreign agents and terrorists, an assertion which the Western media regularly mocked.
I have repeatedly pointed out that large sections of the opposition, such as the Free Syrian Army (FSA), are nothing more than terrorists, evidenced by their willingness to brag about carrying out terrorist attacks.
Furthermore, the reality of terrorist activity in Syria has been nothing short of blatant for months now and the Western rhetoric dating back to over a year ago completely glosses over these facts.
Earlier this year we witnessed a massive pro-Assad demonstration in Damascus which focused on protesting the “one-year conspiracy” to overthrow the Assad government, something which the Western media chose to ignore, for obvious reasons.
Just like the pro-Qaddafi demonstrations in Libya, the shows of support for the Assad government by the Syrian people do not fit into the narrative the establishment media and Western governments are trying to push upon us.
Now the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has finally realized that he can no longer deny the painfully obvious, and thus has stated that the footprints of so-called “established terrorist groups” can be observed in the recent bombings in Syria.
The UN chief sent a letter to the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Friday which stated that the sheer scale and sophistication of the recent attacks in Syria suggest that there are terrorist groups involved.
The [Syrian] Government asserts that such groups are active in the country, as do some opposition groups. The al-Nusra Front has claimed responsibility for at least six of the recent bombings,” Ban stated.
It’s interesting that only now, after all this time, they seem to be willing to give the Assad government any shred of credence when it comes to their insistence that terrorists are involved in the violence there.
Arguably even more important is that Ban urged UNSC member states not to supply arms or what some officials would call “lethal aid” to the armed opposition, as well as the Syrian government itself.
Supporting any side with either military hardware or training, according to Ban, jeopardizes any chances of a cease-fire and long term peace in Syria.
Unfortunately, the U.S. is already arming the terrorists in Syria with one report even indicating that the rebels are being armed with anti-aircraft missiles and similarly, some nations like Russia are providing the Assad government with military aid in order to minimize the chance of foreign military intervention.
“The overall situation in Syria remains extremely serious,” Ban said, while indicating that there had been some small progress on some issues.
The UN observer force deployed to Syria continues to monitor the cease-fire between Assad forces and the armed opposition, with the truce stemming from UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan’s six-point peace plan proposed in March.
The Assad government continues to state that “outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups,” which are organized from abroad, are behind the violence in Syria, while the armed opposition places the blame squarely on the government – an assertion which the West and the establishment media seems to nonsensically support.
Thankfully it appears that the UN is finally catching up with reality and recognizing the fact that the opposition in Syria isn’t entirely made up of peace-loving, pro-democracy, placard-waving protesters but indeed has a large armed terrorist element as well.
Hopefully this will help push Syria towards peace soon as these tragic events have continued to drag on since mid-March of last year, leaving unknown numbers of civilians and government forces dead.

Two families Massacred by death squads in Al-Shoumariya Homs Syria 26 May 2012 [video]

These Massacres in Syria are designed to ignite civil war. To get people to join vigilanty groups on either side and tare the country apart. This massacre happened in Homs, a strong hold for the traitorous FSA milita, it’s fringe group Al CIAda, and various death squads. The FSA is claiming the Syrian army shot children sleeping in their beds but gave no motive. Syrian state media lays the blame squarely on the terrorists running rampant in Syria

Syrian Forces Storm Aleppo to Release Abducted Lebanese, Nasrallah Warns Against Opportunism
Friends of Syria
May 22, 2012
12 Lebanese citizens were abducted by the Free Syrian Army in the region of Ajaj in Aleppo.
In details, the Free Syrian Army arrested the “Badr al-Kobra” bus that was carrying 50 Lebanese citizens coming back from a visit to the holy sites in Iran. The Army pulled the 7 men off of the bus, leaving 43 women onboard, allowing them to continue their driving to Lebanon.
As soon as residents learned of the incident, they closed several roads with burning tires in Dahiyeh, they rallied at the Bir al-Abed – Cinderella Intersection, cut off a number of roads, burned tires in front of Mar Mikhael Church in Chiyah and broke the windows of cars parked alongside.
The names of the abducted are as follows: head of the “Badr al-Kobra” campaign Abbas Cheaib, Hassan Mahmoud, Mehdi Ballout, Hussain al-Seblani, Ali Abbas, Abou Ali Saleh, Hussain Omar, Mustafa Yassin, Ali Zgheib, Awad Ibrahim, Ali al-Ahmar, Ali Safa, Rabih Zgheib and Ali Termos. Preparations are underway to hold a sit-in outside the Imam Al Kazem compound in solidarity with the abducted Lebanese citizens in Aleppo.
Later in the evening, Syrian forces launched raids with tanks and other armoured vehicles in the town of Ajaj, in Aleppo near the place where the Lebanese pilgrims were kidnapped.
The British-based group’s head, Rami Abdulrahman, said people in Ajaj had told him Syrian forces were combing some of the districts.
Commenting on the abduction, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said that the commands of Hezbollah and the Amal Movement are following up on this issue at the highest levels. He stressed that he will spare no effort to release the abducted, adding that the Lebanese state must do the same.
Nasrallah called on everyone to cooperate in order to solve this problem, urging residents not to cut off roads.
Nasrallah warned that some may capitalize on this abduction for their own purposes.
Hezbollah MP Ali Ammar said that the women and some of the men who were aboard the bus are safe under the protection of the Syrian official authorities. He called on the government to contact influential parties and figures to release the pilgrims immediately.
A Hezbollah source earlier told LBCI that the blood of Dahiyeh’s residents is boiling, adding that the party began contacting key figures, calling for the release of the 12 captured Lebanese.
For his part, the brother of the campaign’s organizer told LBCI that the Free Syrian Army released the women in the region of Ajaj in Aleppo, adding that the Free Syrian Army called on the Syrian army to release some detainees in exchange for the release of the captured Lebanese citizens.
In a related context, the airport road was reopened after being cut off at Al-Rassoul Al-Aazam by relatives of the abducted Lebanese citizens.

For years Syria was able to capitalize on its rich history and the most ancient cities on planet earth to build a thriving tourist industry. But after months of conflict, this vital source of income has all but dried up. And as RT’s Oksana Boyko reports, many in the country feel robbed by the revolution.
