Vanessa Beeley exits Syria

Made it out of Syria for the time being. Chaos rules, looting, thuggery and thieving. Gets the US Israel stamp of approval because this is what they believe in. Going through the border was a mash of gunfire, infighting and looting from every single shop and market. Terrorists on motorcycles, gunslingers and criminals. An incredibly sad experience. The house was surrounded by "rebels" drunk in "victory" from 5am, constant celebratory gunfire and around 10 they tried to beat the external door down to loot the contents of the house. Early morning Israel was destroying #Syria Air Defence with bunker buster bombs. The whole house shook. The CIA road map is always the same. The Resistance is broken and I doubt it can be repaired but the extremist mercenaries in the pay of Israel will tell you they "support Palestine". Go on then, you are on the border now.

Needless to say, the BiBiC has been broadcasting a clip in which a 'Syrian woman' is telling the world how full of joy she feels now that the people of Syria are 'free'. The basis on which she was selected -- and, indeed, *who she really is* -- seems to be of no interest to the people packaging the clip.

...bet the US and the zionazis would love to see her head on a spike.
All the best, Vanessa!

Glad that Vanessa was able to get out because it probably wouldn't go well for her in Syria now.

I imagine a lot of ordinary people are happy that Assad is gone. Seems like Syria has had ruthless oppressive government for a long time. I know that's not only due to the leaders but neither are they innocent.

This feels like Libya all over again (which is no doubt the goal of those behind the scene). Highly unlikely that the people will now get peace, human rights, stability and good governance. More likely it will be meet the new boss, same as or worse than the old boss. Probably the latter.

Israel as always has their eye on the ball, grabbing territory at every opportunity.

"Seems like Syria has had ruthless oppressive government for a long time."

The head-choppers will make the Assad regime feel like a birthday present.

I think you're right. More lives lost and ruined. More ancient places destroyed. More rich culture lost. The bad guys are winning.

More culture lost ..

"The bad guys are winning."

Amid all the commentary and our observations, guesses and reposting of various theory and analysis, this from you cuts to one of the main feelings I have. This has been so rapid and seemingly unexpected that you know the usual suspects are all over it and rather than struggling to defeat the resistance it feels like they are taking it out, bit by bit.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Marandi, Sleboda, Craig Murray, Electronic Intifada, Charles Glass et al had no time for Assad.

Great to see the jails being emptied, even if there's little else to celebrate.

I,m sure the Syrian people are equally delighted.

Can you really think of no other options? nm

Hang on. Maybe you were referring to my enthusiasm for the release of prisoners?

I would release all prisoners, everywhere. I've no time for prisons. Most inmates are in there for crimes against Capital. i.e non violent crimes. The dangerous ones should be in hospital getting treatment.

AFAIK, Castro n Che Guevara released all the prisoners after the Cuban Revolution.

I would like to think the Bolsheviks did the same. Though looking at the speed with which they set about filling the prisons I fear the principle was rather lost on them.

Any revolution worth it's salt would release all those who, one way or another, disagreed with the previous regime.

A revolution is surely for everybody. Or do we keep prisoners locked up? Some revolution that would be. And mighty poor socialists that would make us.

This thread articulates the complexity of the situation, imo.

Key figures in the SAA were surely bought off over the years…

.. no actual army just “melts away” like this.
