Have you noticed the logo of the Syrian “revolution” is a copy of the serbian one 20 years ago?
real creative CIA mossad spooks recycling their colored revolution PR tools?
BTW… revolutions are usually spontaneous… what gives with this logo in Syria but also with all these newly minted flags in Libya? If the insurrection is so well organized as to be able to produce countless flags in a minute, how come it cannot hold an inch of territory unless assisted by the the coalition of the imperialist murderers?
Please apply the smell test to all this BS and,
once your senses are fully awakened…
and you realize the enormity of the crimes and the futility of voting in a rigged system…
take up arms and reclaim your country!
Regretfully, there is no other way, unless you prefer being cattle led to slaughter, which is your present situation.

If they had better TV programming they would stay at home and watch it.
Then again subliminal agitation is a new advent with HDTV.

The whole story is a propaganda fantasy.
After all, there’s no dictator in the world who murders his own people unless he’s an ally of the USA.
So, whenever you hear about a dictator massacring his own people ask yourself this:
Is the SOB an ally of ours or not?
If he is, then every allegation of atrocity is as true as the sun rises in the east.
If he is not, then it can only be a CIA/Mossad plot to try to influence world opinion against a poor patsy.
Of course, if you buy this bullshit you have just qualified yourself as one of the “Loony Left”.
Then again, if you totally believe the reverse, you have qualified yourself as one of the “Right-Wing-Nuts”.

Protesters who are averse to dying should carry multiple colored scarves with them. When the people who are shooting at them are wearing green scarves, the protesters should switch their red scarves to green scarves, and vice versa.
