Two More Deadly Blasts Rock DamascusPosted on May 10, 2012
Two explosions left a scene of smoldering carnage in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Thursday morning, killing 55 people and injuring nearly 400. A source said the blasts occurred near a complex of buildings that houses the headquarters of one of Syria’s secret police forces and intelligence operations. In keeping with the standard official explanation for attacks that appear to be associated with the ongoing uprising, state media and the Assad government blamed the explosions on terrorists. —ARK

dictator or not… matters not in the least to the globalists - what does matter is
Report thisany state that stands between the IMF/World Bank and the debt servitude planned
for its population - the same agitprop was used to gin up the orgy of violence to
depose Gaddafie (i.e. evil dictator, killed so many of his own, yadda, yadda, bogga,
bogga) - don’t look now, but in just a year NATO and its NTC/Al-CIA-duh stooges
have perished and imprisoned over 10 times more than Gaddafie did in 40 years -
think Syria would be any different? think again!

Oh you are such a moral high-roader.
And so cynical to take the moral high road when you gringos have blood all over your hands from supporting ongoing genocide against non-whites both domestically and abroad.
Give me a break.
I despise hypocrites.

“Now, shut up and spend the day trying to get rid of your prejudices.”
How are facts prejudices? When you start telling people to shut up, you’ve already lost the argument. The WRONG is all on the side of Assad and his murdering henchmen. He didn’t have to do what he’s doing: he could have left Syria with the money he stole from the Syrian people secure in Swiss bank accounts but he chose to murder thousands of his own people to hang on to power. He has the moral compass and objectivity of a serial killer and it will take me much longer than a day to understand why you like him so much or why my ‘prejudice’ against a genocidal dictator annoys you so much.
You seem completely ignorant of Syria’s democratic past: before Assad’s father staged his coup in the seventies. You act as if this strange little clique of Allowhites is all Syria deserves and all it can have. Personally I don’t believe in monarchy or dynasties and I think such inherently undemocratic groups should all be removed from any form of political power. Assad rules as a king but his reign will be over soon enough, however many buildings he bombs.

“I haven’t heard any claims of responsibility of the bomb attack but whoever did it needs to be caught and put down.”
Oh, it was al Qaeda. Haven’t you heard? Someone went on some website and claimed ‘responsibility’. But that’s crap, of course. It was the Syrian government and their intelligence services taking a leaf out of the CIA’s dirty tricks book. This kind of thing has been going on ever since the gunpowder plot in the Elizabethan era. Modern examples are the Reichstag fire which allowed the Nazis to round up and butcher large numbers of communists, socialists and unionists, the Bay of Tonkin ‘incident’ (never happened) which allowed US troops to go into Vietnam, the attack on the S.S. Liberty, which failed spectacularly but was meant to allow the US to fight with Israel against Egypt, the 9/11 event which allowed the US to invade Iraq and Afghanistan and the anthrax letters which saw the Patriot Act signed into law out of sheer fear when US senators were targeted with anthrax for speaking out against the Patriot Act- which should, of course, be called the Traitor Act.

It’s pretty simple.
The gringo-backed Al Qaeda and other “opposition” folks decided not to respect the terms of the ceasefire agreement because the gringos told them they did not have to.

Diamond,
I agree with you that Assad is scum and needs to go but hiring mercenaries and killing the populace to do it seems a bit overboard.
I haven’t heard any claims of responsibility of the bomb attack but whoever did it needs to be caught and put down.

Sorry, perhaps I should have finished reading your post.
HOWEVER, one thing writers who want to be read learn is to put their best shot in the lead.
Don’t shoot yourself in the foot by recycling MSN booga booba against Assad.

“You only care about the violations made by the Assad government—not by the Al Qaeda salaried spooks paid for by yoir tax dollars”
It’s ‘your’ not ‘yoir’ and that is a load of incoherent bullshit. Have I not stated over and over again that al Qaeda is nothing more than a CIA front organization? You don’t have to be a genius to work that out, by the way. You only have to look at who was running MAK in Afghanistan (MAK being another front organization for the CIA which funnelled CIA and Saudi money to the Mujuheddin): none other than Osama bin Laden. You only have to understand that a short time before 9/11 the local CIA station chief in Dubai was sitting by Osama’s hospital bed at the American hospital while he had treatment for his kidney disease - and that he talked to him for some time. We don’t know what was said but we do know what wasn’t said:
Osama: You filthy infidel. I will have you hunted down and killed.
CIA station chief: You lousy terrorist. I know you’re planning to fly ‘planes’ into the Twin Towers, Number 7 and the Pentagon and I’m going to have YOU hunted down and killed.
This is what they didn’t say. As to what they did say, that’s anyone’s guess. But nothing they said would be about doing any good for democracy and the peace of the world.
Richard Clarke testified to the 9/11 Commission that when Bill Clinton wanted to send drones into Afghanistan long before 9/11 to kill bin Laden, the CIA absolutely refused to kill him. They did, however, send drones into Afghanistan to take his photo, probably to make sure he was going to survive long enough to be blamed for 9/11. Clarke reported that Clinton went into a rage, shouted and was red in the face but the CIA guys were unmoved - and they own the drones by the way. Osama was photographed but not killed - because the CIA didn’t want him killed. How understanding this in any way makes me an apologist for the CIA or al Ciada I really cannot comprehend.
I condemn the Assad regime because they are butchers and psychopaths - do you expect me to praise them or see them as democracy’s saviors? They aren’t wearing swastikas but they don’t fool me. Whoever can remove Assad, who is not only a monster but the son of a monster, will be doing some good. Assad does not represent civil society or democracy he is an evil, torturing dictator and a member of the Baath party and I don’t care who brings him down as long as they do. It’s better for the people to do it but if they can’t do it alone then they should be assisted. Blowing up buildings will not help the rebels or their cause and I doubt they have the necessary equipment so you need to ask the old question re the bombings, ‘who benefits?’ Not the rebels, therefore they didn’t do the bombings.

Your concern for human rights violations is 100% bogus.

“I am beside myself that we are supporting the ‘bombers’ and all we hear is the booga booga against Assad.”
The booga booga against Assad is 100% accurate. Assad’s father killed 30,000 Syrians in cold blood last time they rose up and Assad himself has now killed around 10,000. As for these bombings, it reminds me that Hunter S. Thompson was on radio two days after 9/11 asking very pertinent questions that no one else was asking: ‘Who has the technology?’ he asked. ‘Who has the opportunity? Who has the motive?’ The answer to all three was the Pentagon and the CIA. In the case of Syria if you ask those questions the answer is, the Syrian intelligence services and the Syrian government (I’m reluctant to call them a government, since they are a band of murdering outlaws but they have the weapons and the army so they are the government).
The rebels gain nothing from these bombings but the bombings allow Assad to link the rebels to the all-purpose ‘terror organization’ al Ciada, and thus Assad can continue to claim that this uprising is not an uprising at all but the work of terrorists and criminals. It’s an obvious attempt to divide the general population which wants Assad gone from the rebels who are fighting to bring Assad down. I thought it was a nice touch that the bomb only removed the ‘facade’ from the Syrian intelligence building. I wonder when the media will have the guts to do the same to the intelligence services themselves. Once the drones are flying over New York and every other major city in the world we are pretty much screwed on that score.

If anything is proof positive that the “War on Terrorism” is anything other than the biggest “Jedi Mind Trick” ever pulled on humanity this would it! America has and will support Terrorist when it suits her fancy.
Orlando Bosch blew up a Cuban Air plane killing 75 people (with CIA support). When Castro asked that this “Terrorist” be brought to trial, America protected him.
The Mujahideen (with CIA support) used Suicide bombers to attack Russian and civilian targets in Afghanistan during “Charley Wilson’s War”.
The MEK as we speak are carrying out Terrorist attacks in Iran with CIA, Mossad, and US Congress support.
The religious, racist (anti-Black) Terrorist we backed to over throw Libya are sure to reverse the living standard of the people; which was the highest on the continent of Africa.
Now, America and the West are backing the latest crop of Terrorist in Syria. Anyone who buys into the Global War on Terror Bull Shit at this point is either a foll or a lair!

Because they know the West goves them carte blanche, the plastic “rebels” are killing everybody they can.
They attacked the transport of the head of the observation mission sent by the Un yesterday—and of course he was unhurt but several Syrian soldiers were killed.
More blood on the hands of Obomber and his compinches in Europe.
