In the past, progressive elites were not generally threatened by the campaigns of the old center and center-right parties because those groups have long been managed by fake conservatives with no intention of disturbing the deviation of the Overton Window to the radical left. But of course, times have changed. Legitimate opposition to the far-left is rising in the form of political parties fighting for secure borders and anti-wokeness initiatives, and the progressives are furious.

They've had a taste of near total power, and though they claim to be the patron saints of Democracy they are openly adopting authoritarian ideals in order to keep that power.

In the US the far-left has been pursuing an all out propaganda war and has abused the legal system for years as a means to stop conservatives from returning to government. The lawfare tactics utilized against Donald Trump were unprecedented, but ultimately failed. In Europe, though, leftists are finding more success.

Comment: The source of this top-down control isn't left-wing. It's AMERICAN-wing.

The unfolding events show the West's willingness to use any means to achieve its strategic objectives and retain global supremacy.

With each passing day since October 7, 2023, the contours of the regional processes unfolding in the Middle East become increasingly clear. That day - a watershed moment for the entire region - left behind a multitude of questions that remain unanswered.

One of the most formidable intelligence agencies in the world, Israel's Mossad, failed to foresee or prevent the attack by Palestinian groups, sparking widespread astonishment.

However, beneath this shocking event lies a series of deeper processes, steadily propelling the region toward profound transformations. Mechanisms that once seemed hidden are now becoming more apparent, revealing a deliberate design to reshape those nations that long resisted Western influence and expansion.

On the morning of December 8, the region was shaken by news that, until recently, seemed unimaginable: Damascus had fallen to the forces of opposition and terrorist groups. The Ba'ath Party's rule under President Bashar Assad has been effectively destroyed. Assad's disappearance and the silence from official sources only amplified the sense of irreversible change.

Following a prolonged war with Hamas and the near-total defeat of Lebanon's Hezbollah, international and regional actors shifted their focus to Syria, a key player in the 'Axis of Resistance' against Israel. Syria, which had long served as a cornerstone of Iranian policy in the region, became the latest link in a chain of nations succumbing to mounting internal and external pressures.

These events appear to be part of a broader scenario aimed at fundamentally altering the political and social landscape of the Middle East. With the weakening of key participants in the Axis of Resistance - from Palestinian groups to Syria and Lebanon - a crucial question arises: Who will be the next target of this rapidly unfolding plan? The fate of the region, as well as answers to pressing questions about the role of external forces in these developments, remains uncertain. But one thing is clear: The Middle East will never be the same again.

ISIS handler Joe Biden claims credit for toppling Syria's Assad

The capture of Damascus by militants was a "fundamental act of justice," the outgoing US president claims

Outgoing US President Joe Biden has claimed credit for the fall of Damascus to a coalition of armed groups, including jihadists from Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS). Washington had weakened the supporters of former Syrian President Bashar Assad, the American leader has said.

The result of the lightning offensive of anti-government militants in the past two weeks was a "fundamental act of justice" and a "moment of historic opportunity for the long-suffering citizens of Syria," Biden said in a video address from the White House on Sunday.

"For years, the main backers of Assad have been Iran, [the Lebanese-based militant movement] Hezbollah, and Russia. But over the last week, their support collapsed, all three of them. Because all three of them are far weaker today than they were when I took office," Biden said.

Comment: It should be a wake up call for Americans that their president openly embraces the same group of terrorists which according to the official narrative caused 9/11. That is a big camel for those who believe that narrative to swallow. Remember the George Bush's Global war on Terror, which was to defeat Al-Qaeda and the official reason for the war in Afghanistan and Iraq?
It is not that Al-qaeda has changed nor that the US has changed that much. It is more that what was veiled for the public in the past now is out in the open. The Beast doesn't try to hide or rather is unable to hide anymore.

Biden is not alone to claim credit for the fall of Syria and was beaten to it by Netanyahu.

Benjamin Netanyahu delivers a statement from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, December 8, 2024
The Israeli prime minister has hailed the jihadist takeover of Syria as a "historic day in the Middle East"

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that the fall of Bashar Assad's government in Syria is a "direct result" of Israel's military campaign against Hezbollah and Iran.

Anti-government forces, including Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) jihadists and US-armed Free Syrian Army militants, stormed Damascus on Saturday, as the Syrian Army stood down and Assad - according to the Russian Foreign Ministry - left the country for an unknown destination. HTS leader Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, a former al-Qaeda commander, proclaimed victory in a televised statement on Sunday, declaring that "the future is ours."

In a visit to the Israel-Syria border on Sunday, Netanyahu hailed the radical Islamist takeover of Syria.

Comment: Since the fall of Syria, Israel has wasted no time in bombing the country to bits, destroying its military infrastructure while annexing another piece of the Golan heights. The project for Greater Israel is continuing. The question is for how long.

The Curtain has Dropped - Cynical Overtakes Sacred, as the West Bares its True Face

US moderate goons for regime change
One can hardly believe it anymore. The West has dropped all pretense of their sacred cow of 'democracy', used for generations as an instrument of moral superiority with which to browbeat the rest of the world.

Romanian candidate Calin Georgescu larruped his opponent in the first round of presidential elections, only for the entire result to be 'nullified' by a Romanian court, absurdly citing "Russian interference on TikTok" — with no real evidence. (See here for a deep dive on said 'evidence'.)

A few context-setting reactions:

Tweet 2
On top of that, current Romanian president Klaus Iohannis — taking a page out of Zelensky's playbook — has declared he will illegally stay past his term's constitutional deadline to absolutely no outrage, calls to action, or even criticism from his Western partners:

Comment: The veil of sanity has dropped for the Western elite and the 'man behind the curtain' is seen as the evil self-serving leviathan demon which it is.

France is a perfect example of centrist elites wrecking the West

Political crises seem to be taking down Western nations one by one, their leaders clinging to hubris and showing a disdain for democracy

It is almost as if some EU capitals have a tenacious death wish. After Berlin's amazing and ongoing self-Morgenthauing act of industrial suicide for the greater glory of America's NATO and Zelensky's Ukraine, Paris is now self-Waterlooing. As France's newly-discharged prime minister Michel Barnier almost correctly noted, the "country is going through a profound crisis."

'Almost,' because it's not 'going through', but stuck in it.

Meanwhile, the man who set this train to nowhere in motion with a hissy fit of an early-election at the beginning of June, former investment-banker-turned-president Emmanuel Macron, won't quit, although he's politically bankrupt. He also keeps blaming everyone but himself, while promising to provide "stability."

The president's obstinacy would be funny if it weren't so tragic for France. As French newspaper Libération has put it, "how can you embody stability when you're the one who's produced the chaos?" But then, to be fair to the former Wunderkind of Centrism, for the West's "elites" and their offspring, too (Hi there, Crack Hunter, lawless son of Genocide Joe!), taking responsibility is just so passé. More importantly, Macron's personal if humungous failure as a politician and, worse, national leader is not the whole story.

Comment: France and the globalist West in general is in a civilisational crisis. The days of the 'rules based order' are numbered and thank goodness for that.

Why was Syrian conflict revived? Arab Spring virus did not reach Moscow, and Beijing

NATO's activation of Syrian militants to cause the recent flare-up starting on 27th November 2024 reflects failure in Ukraine, setting back the West's anti-Russian/Chinese scheme to 2011.

Destroying Arabs to reach the Russians and Chinese

A statement by the late American Senator, John McCain from 2011 Halifax International Security Forum showed that the US viewed countries affected by the Arab Spring as the periphery of Russia's and China's interests, by stating that the Arab Spring was a virus that would attack Moscow and Beijing. Therefore, the crises in the Middle East then constituted the US (and NATO) attacking Russia and China from the periphery, heading to the core. Noteworthy, Wesley Clark had revealed Washington's plan from 1991 to destroy all soviet allies before the next superpower arose. Noteworthy, Russia and China are geographically, technologically, and militarily placed to become superpowers.

Therefore, they must have been in Washington's crosshairs, making the Arab Spring a NATO's preemptive action to curtail the rise of Eurasian powers using rioters, militants, and terrorists as NATO's proxies. However, this plan has failed to materialize since. While Ukraine's EuroMaidan Coup of 2014 and the resulting Ukraine-Russia conflict constituted an ideological and even military march on Moscow, it only reached Donbas, before being beaten back after February 2022. To further link the Ukraine and Syrian wars, even the latter, which began in 2011, remained frozen from 2022, when NATO hoped to achieve some positive results by attacking Russia's core using Ukrainian proxy. However, Ukraine is on its back foot in all fronts and NATO's leeway for escalation is narrowing.

Using terrorism for geopolitical goals unacceptable - Russia

The use of terrorists to achieve geopolitical goals, as is currently happening with the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group in Syria, is unacceptable, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Lavrov, after meeting with the Iranian and Turkish foreign ministers in Qatar on Sunday, stated:
"We are absolutely convinced of the inadmissibility of using terrorists like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham to achieve geopolitical goals, as it is now being done by orchestrating the offensive in the Idlib de-escalation zone."
The foreign ministers of Türkiye, Iran, and Russia met in Doha on Saturday to discuss the lightning rebel advance in Syria.

The militant group Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), an offshoot of Jabhat al-Nusra, along with its allies, launched a surprise offensive against Syrian government forces last week, capturing large swaths of territory, including parts of Aleppo and the city of Hama. The Syrian military has redeployed forces to threatened regions, with the support of Russian warplanes.

Comment: Can't leave out Israel...must be something to be gained:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday that it deployed troops to the buffer zone with Syria. The statement declared the move is to ensure the safety of Israel and the Golan Heights, which it has illegally occupied for decades.

In a statement released on Sunday, the IDF stressed:
"Israeli troops are not interfering in Syria's "internal events. The IDF will continue to operate as long as necessary in order to preserve the buffer zone and defend Israel and its civilians."
Israeli tanks have reportedly moved into the buffer zone near Quneitra, close to the Golan Heights, which have been under Israeli occupation since the 1967 Six-Day War. Reports by the Times of Israel indicate that artillery strikes were launched in the region, although the specific targets remain unclear. Local sources told RT that Israeli patrols entered the town of Khan Arnabah in Quneitra province, killing one man.

Israel has a history of conducting airstrikes in Syria, often targeting border crossings and urban areas. West Jerusalem claims this is done to disrupt Iranian military activities in the region.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei stated on Monday that the unfolding jihadist offensive in Syria was coordinated by the US and Israel. According to the diplomat, it is no coincidence that the terrorists attacked northern Syria right after Israel struck a ceasefire deal with Hezbollah.

The situation in Syria continues to evolve rapidly as jihadist groups, including Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham, assert control over key regions following their entry into Damascus on Saturday.

Syria is just the latest case of U.S. meddling and the timing could not be more suspicious.

The Biden administration has triggered another proxy war for Donald Trump to deal with when he becomes president next month. The U.S. deep state is fighting a proxy war in Syria, which appears to be waged with the intention of further destabilizing the Middle East and stirring up another front in World War III.

Syria is collapsing under the weight of another U.S.-sponsored proxy Civil War, with the US, Israel and Sunni jihadists on one side and Russia, Iran, Assad, and Shiite jihadists on the other.

Al Nusra (which is comprised of Al-Qaida and ISIS affiliates) is taking over the country with the help of Turkey, a U.S. ally and key member of the NATO military alliance. These rebels have seized the city of Aleppo and many smaller towns and villages.

M. Dowling at The Independent Sentinel notes that "Jake Sullivan has said Al-Qaida is on our side in Syria." Jake Sullivan is Biden's national security adviser and a key enabler, along with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, of the anti-Russia obsessed deep-state club that shares one thing in common. They all belong to the Trilateral Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations.

"Stare into the sun and begin to glimpse the size of what you're up against."
— Mike Benz
The Hunter Biden super-sized blanket pardon went over so well around the country that "Joe Biden" — or the shadowy league of not-quite-geniuses who run the twilight White House operation — floated the idea of issuing preemptive pardons for a few of the most spectacularly dishonest characters in US political life: Dr. Fauci, Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and Liz Cheney. Does "JB" plan on legally adopting them so he can claim he was moved to act out of a father's love?

Like every official act ever associated with the name "Joe Biden," the preemptive pardon idea has that reality-optional feel. None of the three has been convicted of a crime to be pardoned for, or even been hauled-in for questioning by federal law enforcement agents on a probable cause writ. But a pardon would necessarily paint them as criminals, ipso facto. Would they accept a pardon, with what it implies, or run shrieking from it as from an apple polished with novichok?

The proffer of a pardon itself must amount to a declaration of probable cause, igniting the very legal process it seeks to dispose of. An inquiry would have to be launched to discover what laws these three desperadoes might have broken, followed perhaps by a grand jury to evaluate the evidence, and so on. "Joe Biden" himself might have to answer some basic questions, such as: at what time prior to issuing the pardon did he begin to suspect some laws had been broken? And, since the president's chief duty is to enforce the law, was "JB" negligent and culpable himself for misprision of felonies?

Comment: 'This too will pass'...not soon and not enough pardons to go around.
