Syria
The Prescription to Control the World
Syria has been
involved in a bloody war for too many years, and although international
investigators have made interesting discoveries about the real cause of
this war, it is known that USA, England and Saudi Arabia as well,
stopped these researches with the unique intention of maintaining the
truth hidden The question should be who are the real actors that are
today in the scenery of this conflict. It is obvious that there are not
two groups fighting against each other, but there exists a third force
that is not only provoking it to maintain its real intentions in secret
(the intention of oil acquisition), but also inducing the use of
chemical weapons to produce a worldwide aversion. The desire is
undoubtedly war as the only way by which the actual international
empire can preserve its power notwithstanding the terrible damages it
causes due to its interests in worldwide and to its permanent political
custom to induce and control other nation’s wills in foreign and
international matters.
The so called Syrian uprising began with protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime in
March 2011. However, it crossed an important point a year and a half
later, when the international Red Cross formally declared it a civil
war. Since then, the United Nations estimates more than 100,000 people
have died in the disputes between President Bashar al-Assad's government
and rebel forces who want to oust him. The amount of innocent victims
is still climbing higher as fighting rages across the country are
increasing significantly. Tens of thousand people are escaping from
Syria, searching refugee camps in neighbouring countries such as Turkey
and Greece. Initially, the protesters just wanted democracy and more
considerable freedom. Once the security forces opened fire on peaceful
demonstrations, people demanded that the President, Bashar al-Assad,
resignation. However, President Assad strongly refused to resign.
No one can ignore that
the profound of this conflict seem to be the struggle between the
supporters of a leader who ruled the country in a dictatorial way, and
other groups that pretend to obtain recognition of their rights as well
as the end of racial discrimination in a more unprejudiced and
equitable society. A profound analysis of the conflict will manifest
the secret real cause and will also evidence USA’s interests in oil as
the only genesis. As a matter of fact, this country does not want Syria
to sell oil to other countries in anything but US dollars, and by
contrast, Syria wants to sell oil to Russia in rubles and to China in
Chinese currency and to other countries in whatever they want to
exchange for it. Doubtless, as US made many times before, it uses all
the techniques, known and unknown, to maintain the war, as a manner to
appear itself as the sole salvation in the moment of its intervention,
as well as making a secret work to assure the continuation of the
conflict. In the same way, there is enough evidence to assert that UK
has been exchanging weapons for oil with Saudi Arabia a pronounced enemy
to Syria since 1985.
It is known that the
possession of oil is nowadays the best way to maintain the primacy over
the world, and USA is using all the possibilities to obtain it. The use
of chemical weapons to solve war conflicts exists from the very
beginning of human history and there is enough evidence to assert that
people have been utilizing and refining them to cause terrible damage.
Although the Geneva Protocol prohibited the use of these mortal elements
in warfare in 1924, the latest news made us know the use of this
frightening poison in the Syrian conflict. This horrendous behavior has
originated an intricate of accusations between USA, UK, France and Saudi
Arabia against Syria´s governor Bashar al-Assad and Russia. USA
promoted the investigation, making a public campaign against Assad as
well as being the most resolute supporter of intervention as the only
way to preserve civilian lives. By contrast, recent researches have
demonstrated that it is not clear not only who used the chemical
weapons, but also who was inducing this action in secret.
Syrian Foreign
Ministry Makdissi said that Syria would use chemical weapons only in
case of foreign aggression but never against civilians and asked the
United Nations to launch an investigation. Russia’s foreign minister
supported this position assuring that revels do not have the possibility
to use these weapons without the complicity of a power government
interested in the end of Assad´s regime. In the same way, UN's
investigation team said that it is unclear what strategic benefit can be
obtained by the regime by using these weapons, in the light of the risk
it represents as an aversion to the entire world. It is expected that
the results and statements by the Swedish scientist and weapons expert
Ake Sellstrom will be objective and balanced, which would then be a
difference to the usual double-standards by the officials of the United
Nations (UN) in terms of Syria. On the other hand, although Obama is the
most powerful promoter of intervention ( as he had made before in
Irak), US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel believes that the poison gas
was used on a small scale and as if it was not enough, according to
Moscow´s ambassador to the United Nations, chemical weapons were clearly
used most likely by Syrian rebels with the support of a segment
interested in the intervention.
In spite of the fact
that the conclusions of the investigations are still not clear, Obama
arranged and sent three American ships in the Mediterranean Ocean,
expecting the order to bomb Syria for three days under the mask of an
advertence, without taking into account the fact that it can provoke a
terrible damage in the civilians that they are supposed to be defending.
“What is the plan? Where are we going in Syria? And what do you want to
accomplish?” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers asked
Sunday.The constant propaganda against Syria´s government made by USA,
convinced other countries to follow its ambitious plans of domination,
such as Arabia (a Syrian´s enemy) which has been exchanging oil by
weapons from France.
In conclusion, the
conflict in Syria seems to be provoked by hidden and secret interests by
the part of the USA among other powerful countries. At present, such
tendency is being evidenced by the ready-to- bomb forces placed in the
Mediterranean Ocean. What is the plan? Not only seems the plan to be
ignoring Syrians’ freedom but also seems to be causing a division among
the deeply affected Syrians who escape in order to feel themselves safe.
Whether Syria used chemical weapons or not may be a worldwide question
whose answer people may desire to know, but the obvious interest by the
part of the powerful nations in undoubtedly telling us the whatever the
conflict may be, there exists a clear interest to restrict Syria’ s
business and economy thus creating an atmosphere of terror and
uncertainty which makes this war even more hostile and cruel.
