Prof Michel Chossudovsky: NATO's Next "Humanitarian " War?

"In order to facilitate the action of "liberative" forces, a special effort should be made to eliminate certain key individuals. Once a political decision has been reached to proceed with internal disturbances in Syria, CIA is prepared, and MI6 will attempt to mount minor sabotage and "coup de main" incidents within Syria, working through contacts with individuals. Incidents should not be concentrated in Damascus. Further, a "necessary degree of fear - frontier incidents and staged border clashes", would provide a pretext for intervention. The CIA and MI6 should use capabilities in both psychological and action fields to augment tension."(Joint US-UK leaked Intelligence Document, London and Washington, 1957). In this online interactive I-book, we bring to the attention of our readers a selection of feature articles on the Syrian crisis. Our objective is to dispel the tide of media lies and government propaganda, which presents the events in Syria as a "peaceful protest movement". The "protests" did not emanate from internal political cleavages as described by the mainstream media. From the very outset, they were the result of a covert US-NATO intelligence operation geared towards triggering social chaos, with a view to eventually discrediting the Syrian government of Bashar Al Assad, and destabilizing Syria as a Nation State. Since the middle of March 2011, Islamist armed groups, covertly supported by Western and Israeli intelligence, have conducted terrorist attacks directed against government buildings including acts of arson. Amply documented, trained gunmen and snipers, including mercenaries have targeted the police, armed forces as well as innocent civilians.
