On August 6, a Lebanese newspaper, The Daily Star, reported three men were charged by Lebanon’s Military Prosecutor General with smuggling weapons into Syria. “Wasim Tamim, Samir Tamim, and Ahmad Qabri were charged with allegedly smuggling weapons and drugs outside the country through one of its ports,” the newspaper reported.

The brief article, which appeared on page two of the newspaper’s print edition, did not go into any further detail.

Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar newspaper, however, did report details neglected by The Daily Star, which has business ties with the International Herald Tribune and The New York Times.

According to Sahand Avedis, writing for World Socialist Web Site, who cites Al-Akhbar, Lebanese Army investigators said they uncovered a connection between the smugglers and the political entourage of former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, who is backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia.

The cache of weapons consisted of 1,000 assault rifles that were reportedly destined for the city of Baniyas in Syria. “Baniyas is one of a number of cities hit by protests against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the months since the overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. The Syrian regime has mobilized the Syrian army against these protests, which have been concentrated in majority-Sunni regions of the country, claiming it was trying to repress violent opposition by armed guerrilla movements,” writes Avedis.

Intelligence tracked the group to the March 14 alliance, a Sunni-Druze-Christian coalition that takes its name from the date of the Cedar Revolution, when Lebanese took to the streets in Beirut in overwhelming numbers to demand the end of Syrian occupation. The group is supported by the U.S., Israel, and the Saudis.

“The recently foiled operation is still under investigation, and there has been highly significant information gleaned from those involved who are affiliated with a prominent tendency in the March 14 alliance. This is not the only operation that they have carried out,” reported the al-Safir newspaper on August 8.

Avedis writes that Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television network reports the smugglers “confessed to running over 30 arms-smuggling operations from Marina to Baniyas with the assistance of Mohammad Kabbara, a member of the Al-Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc tied to Saudi intelligence. Al-Manar stated that the center of operations was Kabbara’s farm in northern Lebanon, adding that this was also a transit point for Islamist (Salafi) fighters traveling to the Syrian city of Homs.”

Homs, Idlib, and the southern province of Daraa have witnessed some of the largest demonstrations in recent days against the Syrian government.

Syrian state television has reported that “armed thugs” have attacked law enforcement in the country. In Hama earlier this month, according to the Ahlul Bayt News Agency, armed groups used live ammo and Molotov cocktails against police departments. In June, the AP reported that 120 Syrian security forces were killed by armed men who also torched government buildings. The AP dismissed the report as Syrian government propaganda.

Armed gangs attack Syrian military.

The corporate media has downplayed the violence against the government while sensationalizing the death of protesters.

Former French General Jean Rannou has outlined a NATO attack on Syria to depose Bashar al-Assad’s regime, a move that reveals that covert efforts against the country are not working.

On Friday, Secretary of State Clinton urged nations to “get on the right side of history” and condemn the regime. She demanded the world to stop buying oil from Syria, in effect calling for an embargo on the Middle Eastern county.

Clinton’s remarks coincided with news that the European Union will extend sanctions against Syria.

On Wednesday the United Nations Security Council warned it would take action to stop the Syrian government from killing its citizens. The effort was spearheaded by Susan Rice, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations.

  1. Our government is completely out of control and has around 80% of the comments on this site.

    A coup d’etat started in 2008 with the presidential election.

    Obama is the acting president. He disappeared for 2 weeks after his election win only to reappear looking exhausted sitting next to John McCain, with a bad poker face, for a press photo shoot. Obama was turned into a puppet for the Pentagon.

    Osama Bin Laden appears to be a code created by the New World Order. The NWO consists of some of the richest people in the world with the goal of overthrowing the US government, some from inside our own government. They are also trying to collapse our currency and appear to be behind all of the “buy gold” hype, not to mention tens of thousands of money making opportunities online and late night infomercials. They’re positioned to make billions by destroying our economy.

    The attacks on 9/11 appear to be attacks on capitalism and part of the plan to an all out overthrow of our system of government. The people that make up the New World Order are media moguls, CEO’s and many others elitists. The coup d’etat is also the reason why the CEOs who ran in the last midterm didn’t get elected and why the republicans are taking over.

    You will not read about this in the media. Most of the media now has been forced to cooperate or have been paid to cooperate.

    Here’s what Osama, Obama, Biden, Bin Laden, the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists, and Sarah Palin had to do with the last election and the military’s overthrow of our government. Search ElectNoMoreSpys.blogspot

  2. lets give the arabs a chance to spread democracy to the US
    using the same method the US always had i mean the president is a dictator isn’t he?
    ooh but the same method is evil if used by other people
    very interesting those nuclear mongering God loving patriots aren’t they

    • They’re getting the chance to spread something in the United States. Check out the article Islamic supremacist group holds first u.s. conference from July 17, 2009. They met at a hilton in Chicago. Check out the murals from Denver International Airport and you will see one with a Nazi soldier holding a Muslim sabre, stabbing the dove of peace, a Christian symbol. This would pertain to the Muslim Brotherhood controlled by the Nazis. Then there is one where a young German boy is beating the Muslim sabre into a plowshare. Highly esoteric and hidden in plain view.

  3. At DNotice (org) see the current article (July 6) on the Six-Day War. It explains the Soviet involvement in that war. The article also explains how Israel was able to supposedly roll over the Arabs so quickly. This was the war where the Arab’s Long-Range Strategy towards Israel became operational.

  4. The stink’n globalists continue to go around the world stirring up trouble and displacing populations. The fall-out from their war profiteering actions … are left for common people to shoulder as they are faced with abnormal floods of immigration. The globalists swine are damaging economies worldly for their on selfish criminal gains, and down-loading the costs of their profiteering onto middle-classes of the world. The immigrants, even those who would prefer to stay home, have been forces to flee from the destroyed economies — due to the arrogance of the globalist swine. The developing racial tensions are indeed the result of globalist greed.
    Even common Israelis are starting to feel under attack due to the mass displacements from illegal wars: -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8n-y24SzbCY …..check it out.

    At some point, in interest of global harmony, the globalist ‘steam-roller’ will need to be stopped in it’s tracks. We can no longer accept their amoral disgusting fraud agenda. The always promise one thing and do the exact opposite. The greedy swine rats must be stopped or placed under international arrest. Libya is just the latest example of the international war frauds and wrong-headed thinking. Now they want to make trouble for Syria — and stick the tax payers with the bill.

    Arrest these dog-shit globalist swine — they are just worthless crooks.

    • And you stupid soldier boys; grab a brain and stop destroying the future of your society by participating in these illegal wars. Stop working for the death-cult traitors of humanity you stupid dorks.

  5. London riots only hurt the poor people. now the bankers will loan more money to the shopkeepers, small business owners and finance the renovation cost. the very people who were propping up the protesters are the same phonies under the banner of socialism who denied the truth about 911. they never ever remotely suggest that Israel had anything to do with 911 or any other false flags. they pass the blames for anything onto either Islamic terrorists or ultra right Christians. I doubt if either of those exist. but God forbid if anybody in mainstream media even remotely suggest anything regarding the Zionists and Israel they will be run over by a bus and labeled anti Semite. the news that mass protest happening in Israel is bogus. it’s just a charade to further fuel and encourage the protest in London. Now Britain got an excuse to pass new laws to rein in on the civil liberties. toughen the immigration laws. so, Britain can do whatever it wants in someone else’s country. they will bomb a country to stone age, so; the bankers can finance the rebuilding process. but, the native population cannot run for their life in Europe and the white Zionists will keep on electing the thugs. things are not what they appear to be all the time. protesters were not all black and the police actions were miniscule. bankers will get rich off of this phony crisis. the true power behind any crisis or revolution doesn’t get affected. they just change their outfit.

  6. The lizard men want the population of Syria wiped out so that they can use the country to incubate their lizard babies and take over the world

    • because of the warn sand they have……….hmmmm makes sense

    • David Icke is an anti-christ dog. Bark for me!

      • ohh those antichrist dogs are sooo cute.. i want one.. they glow in the dark too… can i get one that barks with a british accent.?

    • The first person to expose shape-shifting serpents (serpent angels) is the guy form the humanswin channel. David Icke is an NWO cronie. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall decieve many.

    • Alright, David Icke was talking about serpents before anyone else. And all along he has never understood this, either through ignorance or purposely hiding the true nature of these devils. Icke will never tell the real truth on serpents. I read Ickes book The Biggest Secret: The book that will change the world, one of his first. I read almost the whole thing in one night. Literally half the book talks about shape-shifting reptiles, and the other half tries to disprove that the bible is even real. This piece of garbage actually says that Jesus never extisted, King David never existed, Israel and Judah never existed and so on. He actually had me doubting if God was real for about a day, and it is the worst, emptiest feeling I have ever felt. But thank God the Holy Spirit came to my aide to confirm that this dog is an anti-christ liar. And Alex Jones has supported this man. Birds of a feather flock together. You men wouldn’t know repentance if it slapped you up side the head. Don’t support these robbers and suckers, or you will go down with them. “Let them be, for they be blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the blind, they’ll both fall into the ditch.” And this ditch is full of unquenchable fire.

  7. Syria is a threat to Israel, so any threat should be eliminated. We should just use Nuclear Biological weapons to exterminated not only the leadership of Syria, but the whole bloody country.

    • We should drop a nuke on idiots like you!

  8. If the UN invades Syria Iran has said that it would be an attack on them. The UN has no chance.

  9. Amazing thing is , The Bible said all of this imperialism would lead to the complete destruction ( quick
    obliteration ) of Damascus Capital of Syria . This was written thousands of years ago . It says there will be nothing left so, expect this to go nuclear . Isaiah 17: 1

    • Fuck off you twat

      • Brilliant comment , now … squeeze your head again and see if more crap comes out .

  10. Same shit; different day.

    • Right on!

  11. SECOND REPOST…

    Eyes are being opened to my truths! I have preached to the choir for years that FEMA detention camps have been fully operational and open for business for decades. Business will be brisk once martial law is declared! Know what corrupt federal government says about them? When they say anything at all? They are there for citizens in the event of emergencies and catastrophies. Really? Can anyone name even one instance, just one people, when these godsend to help everyone FEMA camps provided brief shelter to Americans left homeless by tornadoes, hurricanes or other natural disasters? I DID NOT THINK SO! Know what these camps are? Think Germany in the 1940s. These are nothing more than concentration camps! No. Actually they will be utilized as attitude adjustment facilities. I will explain later. The federal government has two lists. One is a black list while the other is a red list. Red listers who are critical of powers that be but not considered a major threat will be sent to these camps for attitude adjustments (brainwashing). To become good brainless unthinking sheep eager to join the herd. Those who resist will be murdered! Black listers like myself will be taken but not to any camp. The corrupt federal government KNOWS we are beyond their brainwashing horrors. Even if successful it would require too much time! Citizens on black list will be murdered. Kill serum being developed in federal government laboratory as I type these words. Wholesale murder at bargain prices! Those who took H1N1, which I contend IS poison, are living on borrowed time. Slow acting agent breaks down immunity system over time. Destroys brain cells. Far fetched? I contended Bin Laden hoax death was to prevent close inspection of another fabricated Hussein Obama birth certificate. Unpopular at first but being seriously considered now. I contended from day one that oil spill was intentional to focus attention from illegal influx of foreign troops into United States. Really got some snickers for that one. Those troops who will have no qualms about gunning down folks when martial law declared are now in place. No one is snickering any more. Even mainstream media has noted the foreign troops on USA soil. Of course they tell everyone they are saints set to help all Americans. Uh huh! Troops being sent to all points of globe so that when Americans are in desperate need of protection from their own government there will be no way for even the good soldiers who want to assist to return in time. These traitors have planned well! Sorry for being so gloomy. These are just gloomy times!

    (in part)

    “‘Egypt preparing operation against al-Qaida cells in Sinai’”

    “Al-Qaida is present in Sinai mainly in the area of Sakaska close to Rafah,” a general in Egypt’s intelligence was quoted as saying on Thursday. “They have been training there for months, but we have not identified their nationalities yet.”

    “We plan to clean out those criminal pockets around the area of Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid,” secretary general for the North Sinai governorate, Gaber al-Araby stated.”

  13. Kurt Nimmo…

    Your link: “The group is supported by the U.S., Israel, and the Saudis.” Is a June 2009 link that doesn’t expose Israel involved with this. Am I missing the corelation? I just don’t see it.

    In fact your link is written by Rannie Amari one of your old CounterPunch buddies… aye?

    • Yep, and youll notice its Always the Americans and Arabs. Of course no way Israel was involved in 9/11. Ha. Okaaay. And no way Israel is EVER involved in smuggling weapons over borders.

      • And what?

        You expect me to believe that Israel is smuggling weapons to Syria based on an article that can’t prove it?

        You are stupid aren’t you!

        And here’s the kicker… Spirit Boy…

        These smuggled weapons are going straight into the hands of the Sunni majority to topple their Shiite leaders!

        Did ya figure that out?

        Get back to your chalkboard… Muslim…

        • I didnt say that. Go back and re-read it. I did not mention Syria. What I mentioned was that Isarel has been involved in smuggling operations. Iran – Contra being a fairly large one for openers.

          Nope sumz, not much into religious fairy tales.

          Maybe look into Bugsy Siegel operation into Mexico City just for ‘glory days’ nastalgia.

          Hay I saw where 2 Israeli gay-bobs were camped out on Rothschild Blvd in that broken down piece of $hit country called Israel. Was one of them you? How much money was it that Rothschild donated to Isarel? Got a number on that?

    • do you get it now ?

      • Yeah… you’re stupid… Muslim.

        • nah, the name of the game is to run decoy operations.

          Hey, Im fairly certain the the ‘chosen ones’ no longer have a contrac t with yhwy the storm god. They went and pissed off their storm god and he made a new covenant to include gentiles. While yer brushin up on yer re-readin skills and gulping down a slurpee……y amay wanna look over the words of Saul ? Paul; ya know………….what those Christians read which obviously you aint.

          Sun gods, moon gods and star gods..oh my. Hey ya seen any bones of giants lately sumzy. My god..thats as fake as hell and you fell for it.

        • Come on sums, quit bein a fk’n pu$$y and really stand up for what you believe in instead of hiding behind and trying to schmooz up to Christians. You know and I know that you sumzrent attach yerself to the Judaic teaching on what Jesus / Yahoshua was dont’cha?

          You know you love all those gentile american kids dyin for your Israel. Wheres that pipleline going into Jaifa Israel getting its oil from? If you answer; Northern Iraq, then you are correct. Hey. want a link that shows Isrealis getting medals for killing American kids in unifrom?

  14. That woman we all clicked on is quite pretty.

    • To say the least… (The rest of this post is CENSORED!!!!!! )

  15. A “Sunni-Druze-Christian coalition”?

    Really? The Muslims are hard at work… it appears…

  16. Ok, a little twilight zone music please…5 years ago I had a clairvoyant dream and in it I was basically told that once WE (The U.S.) start throwing stones at Syria from our glasshouses, that everything will change in the world and it would be really bad. I saw a lot of violence happening but it was on OUR SOIL! They actually said to me, “People in glass houses, shouldn’t throw stones”. I’ve never forgotten the dream and boy lately, I am seeing that dream lived out and right now and the probability of it getting that bad seems to be just around the corner. I’m really worried about what this means for us! Syria will be able to strike us down if we’re not careful! I know this for sure! We’ve over extended our credit and we’ve over extended our global reach…we’re destroying ourselves from GREED, and short sightedness, plain and simple!

    • I meant to say, “destroying ourselves from within from Greed and short sightedness” Don’t get me started, I can make that list of unflattering national characteristics a lot longer!

  17. On Wednesday the United Nations Security Council warned it would take action to stop the Syrian government from killing its citizens. The effort was spearheaded by Susan Rice, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations.

    That last paragraph says it all, United Nations Security Council warned it would take action to stop the Syrian government from killing its citizens. What they mean by that is, we will do it for you for a fee !

    • Any real rebellion against a sitting government, that is interested in restoring the sovereignty of their nation to the People would never ask for or accept NATO, U.N., or U.S. intervention, because that’s equivalent to handing sovereignty from a current dictator to a global one. If a foreign group enters that country, the rebels should turn on them.

  18. Hey Nato/UN in the event of any wester Nation riseiing up aginst its progressivley totalitarian (world) Government and the killing of the people, I dare say you would sen d in troops to stop the (US?) Government killing their own people, right?? You two faced murderous globalist money resource grabbing corporate whores

  19. When Iran arms rebels fighting the U.S. occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, they’re called a terrorist state, but when the U.S. arms rebels fighting the legitimate government of Syria, they’re called supporting democracy and the people against a brutal dictator.

  20. Turkish Foreign Minister Davutoğlu is in Damascus on Tuesday to warn Syria’s President Assad against continuing his crackdown on the country’s uprising.

    Turkish officials said that they have come close to abandoning the Syrian president and considering international measures that may lead to his “Saddam-like” isolation.

    Wednesday Syrian tanks stormed two northwestern towns near the border with Turkey, a day after Ankara pressed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to end killings of civilians.

    WILL TURKEY GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE?

    • Unlikely that Turkey will do anything, unless it’s the beginning of the U.S./NATO invasion, which may trigger the larger conflict with Iran that is wanted. Russia threatens to get involved, but I’m afraid they’re just playing the same old games they played with Iraq and Libya, grumbling about it, agreeing with it, and then after it happens condemning it, basically being an accessory to the conquests, but retaining the ability to blur the lines with the Russian people and continue to claim to “oppose the Western imperialists”.

      • Turkey has a history of unilaterally protecting their borders with force if necessary.

        They won’t be very happy with Syria beating its chest at the border.

        And with the recent shake-up at the top of the Turkish military they are more inclined to prove their strength.

        Look at Greece and the Cyprus dispute as an example.

        Just an observation…

    • Turkey can talk what about the Armenian Genocide?

      Of coure the EU UK Cameron and Obama want Turkey in the EU at all costs.

    • the name of the foreign minister is Ahmed David oglu

      • Davutoğlu was copied directly from a European newspaper. There are obviously different accepted western spellings of the name.

        You know like Osama – Usama

        Or Ghadaffy – Khadaffy etc…

        So what do YOU think the odds are that turkey may go in first?

      • And if you Google it the most common spelling is “Ahmet Davutoğlu” not “Ahmed David oglu”

  21. If they follow the current model they will ship the guns in and ship the drugs out.
