The US ‘Big Satan’ imperialism is sending its troops to Africa on the pretext of ‘war on terrorism’. Imperialism lies all the time and the only time it doesn’t lie is as a result of a double lie which is a lie coming back on itself to tell the truth.
Al-Qaeda was the creation of the US Satan imperialism. And now, there is evidence showing that the US Satan imperialism is currently arming al-Qaeda as in the case of Libya and it is actively supporting al-Qaeda groups. Thus, the reason they give for the physical invasion of Africa is bogus. But the real reason is that Africa in terms of minerals and natural resources is the richest continent in the world while its people are the poorest people in the world.

West unleashing terrorism against Syria: Mark Glenn [video]
PressTV
December 25, 2012
An analyst says the US and Israel is getting away with what any other country would not, initiating terrorism as a tool to topple a sovereign government.
In the background of this, insurgents in Syria have carried out threats to storm Christian towns in the central province killing several civilians in one village before being chased off by Syrian forces. Insurgents are bolstered by NATO support in the form of the deployment of US Patriot missile systems and troops along the Turkish Syria border. UN Arab League Envoy Lakhdar Ibrahimi is in Syria now to work for a political solution, but the US and its allies seem only interested in a NATO-supported military intervention to achieve an overthrow of the Assad government and the death of many innocent men, women and children.
Press TV has interviewed Mr. Mark Glenn, Crescent and Cross Solidarity Movement, Idaho about this issue.

Govt airstrike kills dozens in central Syria – activists [video included]

An airstrike by Syrian regular forces killed over 180 people in the town of Halfaya, not far from the central city of Hama, says the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
“In Halfaya, regime forces bombarded a bakery and committed a massacre that killed dozens of people, including women and children, and wounded many others,” said Lebanon’s Naharnet, quoting the Local Coordination Committees, a grassroots network of activists.
Activists say the strike hit a line of people queuing outside a bakery. The account is supported by an amateur video released on YouTube which shows scores of dead or wounded people in the rubble. The footage also depicts men carrying victims out of a bombed one-story block, and a crater in the road beside it.
“A MiG [jet] has attacked! Look at [President Bashar] Assad’s weapons. Look, world, look at the Halfaya massacre,” says the unidentified cameraman, adding the ruined building used to be a bakery.
The video, however, has not yet been independently verified. If it is authentic, it remains unclear why Syrian forces targeted the town. But reports suggest this might have been a counter-strike as Halfaya appears to have fallen into rebel hands. Moreover, on Monday the opposition forces claimed to be launching an all-out assault on army positions across the Hama region, which has been one of the centres of the uprising.
In recent days, rebels have been clashing with government troops in the region around Halfaya, according to the Associated Press. Activists say rebels have taken over a number of regime checkpoints and proclaiming Halfaya a “liberated area“. It’s part of a wider strategic effort to gain control over the country’s main north-south highway.
Meanwhile, the United Nations and Arab League special envoy on Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, has arrived in Damascus to discuss ways to end the civil unrest. Brahimi was forced to travel via Beirut because of fighting near Damascus airport. The special envoy is expected to meet Syria’s foreign minister and President Assad.
Syria’s crisis began in March 2011 with political protests which eventually fomented into a civil war, with scores of rebel groups across the country battling Assad’s forces. The President says he is fighting a foreign insurgency. The conflict has taken lives of over 40,000, Syrians and created a further 164,000 refugees.

Syrian Military: Militants Using Chemical Weapons

Chemical weapons reportedly used by NATO-armed, funded terrorists near Damascus.
December 24, 2012 (LD) – PressTV has reported (more details via Fars News) that chemical weapons have been used by militants fighting Syrian government forces in Daraya, near Damascus. PressTV also reported that threats have been made against Syria’s ethnic minorities that their water supplies will be poisoned by militants – this on the heels of the UN itself warning of (and preemptively spinning) impending sectarian-driven genocide.
Image: (via the Guardian) “Chemical containers in the Libyan desert. There are concerns unguarded weapons could fall into the hands of Islamist militants. Photograph: David Sperry/AP” As increasing evidence reveals Libyan fighters and weapons are pouring into Syria, the West has been preparing to cover up the inevitability that Libya’s chemical arsenal will also found its way into the besieged nation. It now appears that such weapons are being deployed by NATO’s terrorist proxies.
AFP reported that the NATO-backed terrorists’ threats against Syria’s 1.8 million Christians have become so serious that the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has made an official statement condemning the militants. AFP reported:
The world’s largest Muslim body on Sunday condemned threats made by Islamist rebels in Syria against two Christian towns, warning of fresh confessional strife in the war-torn country.
The use of chemical weapons, if confirmed, will indicate a desperate new dimension to NATO’s proxy war with Syria – one meant solely to sow fear and terror, as well as sectarian strife, where the Western axis has otherwise failed both tactically and strategically. With NATO-backed terrorists openly threatening sectarian genocide, there are fears that not only NATO, Saudi, and Qatari weapons and funds will be used to carry it out, but a large arsenal of weapons brought with Al Qaeda terrorists from Libya, including its large cache of chemical weapons.
The Western media, and Western government officials have been preparing the public for the imminent use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict, trying to pin responsibility on the Syrian government, regardless of which side actually uses them.
As early as 2007, the US, Saudi, and Israeli government had been preparing to unleash armed, sectarian extremists tied directly to Al Qaeda, with the intent on waging a region-wide sectarian war to destroy Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. Despite US and Lebanese officials warning of the “cataclysmic conflict” the West and its regional allies were planning, the plot was put into full effect come 2011. As sectarian genocide unfolds, the Western media, in tandem with Western officials, feign ignorance and shock at the conflict they themselves purposefully engineered over the last several years.
