Attack on Syria (update)

I’ll update further on this thread.  This can be classified as meta-data.   Even though I sorted out my sources yesterday already, it was necessary for another sort today.  There is a reason.  I have never seen so much hasbara; it was a wave across all communications channels.    Channels and reporters that could be be taken as reliable on Gaza, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, the Houthi’s were all over the map today, because of this vile Hasbara.

A massive informational promotion to create psychological pressure is taking place and it is a clever promotion.  It comes from Turks, Fake Journos, Trolls and grifters of all kinds.  There is even a ‘masked man’ reporting.  In this Fog of War day, much damage was done and the average reader and interested person was bombarded.  Now who does hasbara best?  You got it.  Who has a dog in this race and hates Bashar al-Assad?  The Arab outlets.  Together it is the US-NATO version of Islam, ladies and gentlemen.

This attack on Syria was planned and the detail of it was planned and the mass of falsified information to confuse the Syrian population to the nth degree, was planned.  No attack of this scale occurs without external backing and a calculated geopolitical motive.  Keep it cool though as this is only another step in the larger omni-war. I expect that this escalation will only lead to enhanced coordination between Damascus, Tehran, and Hezbollah.

A short segue to the Lebanon / Israel supposed ceasefire:  That ceasefire came into the mix specifically to give cover to the zionists and their handlers for the Syria adventure.  The objective is to split the resistance factions and break their unity.  It will not be successful.  I may remind you that we have not seen the actual agreement yet.  Some stabs at it was posted, but give me a ‘bloody’ break.  Give me real information!

An example of the hasbara was that the Palestinian resistance factions have joined terrorist groups in Syria – completely false and fabricated.  The very many names that the Rent-a-Jihadis go by, is part of the ‘mystique’.   There is a Tower of ‘Babble’ among the Rent-a-Jihadis  From Uzbeks, Uighurs, Turks, African languages and not a Syrian in sight. Ukrainian and Turkish field commanders are present in the ranks of Rent-a-Jihadis (Tahrir al-Shaam).
These outlets are not reliable for reporting on Syria:  Al Jazeera, Reuters, Al Arabiya, Al Hadath, BBC, Fox, CNN, and Times.   So let us sort the wheat from the chaff first.

The Syrian Defense Forces are The Syrian Arab Army, i.e, SAA. As we wait for the Russian MoD to confirm any military action, so we wait for the spokespeople of the SAA to confirm or reject issues.  They post under:  Syrian Ministry of Defense, usually as follows:  Statement from the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces.

Here is their earlier statement:

Statement from the General Command of the Army and Armed Forces:

Our armed forces on the Aleppo and Idlib fronts continue to resist a large-scale attack launched by terrorist organizations, particularly the so-called Al-Nusra Front. These groups are employing heavy and medium weapons, drones, and a large number of foreign militants.
• Our forces have inflicted severe losses on the attackers, resulting in hundreds of dead and wounded, and have destroyed dozens of vehicles, armored units, and seventeen drones.
• Additional reinforcements, including equipment and personnel, are being deployed to all axes of engagement to counter violations and repel attacks.
• Several positions breached by terrorists in recent hours have been retaken, and combat operations will continue until the threat is fully neutralized.

Additionally, terrorist organizations are spreading false news and videos to instill fear among citizens. The General Command strongly warns against trusting or sharing such propaganda and urges citizens to rely only on official national media platforms for verified updates.

The second trustworthy source is the  Russian Coordination Center in Syria: Their last two statements:

The Russian Air Force is supporting the Syrian Army in anti-terrorist operations in Aleppo and Idlib. 

Over the past two days, more than 600 militants have been killed during operations in the rural areas of Aleppo and Idlib.

Fierce battles are happening and the Syrian and Russian warplane pilots are getting a workout.  There is a plan of battle and I take that from understanding what the SAA forces are doing.  It is certainly not a random mess.  The difference from the previous Syrian War before the Russians moved in, is stark.  (Some good Russian training!).  They are organized, they are trained, they are disciplined and they are killing the Rent-a-Jihadist forces by hundreds.  They are also doing maneuvers, like this morning, when they supposedly left certain areas and the Jihadists rejoiced, moved in, published that they have conquered the area, only to be shot to pieces.  Stay-behind sleeper Jihadi cells are also a factor.

Aleppo City remains secure amid fabricated reports of an Israeli-led takeover.  (An Israeli-led takeover?  Who does hasbara best?).  This is a feet on the ground report.  Reports of an Israeli-led takeover of Aleppo and other regions are fabricated. The battles are ongoing across multiple fronts.  According to a soldier from the 25th Brigade, stationed in New Aleppo, videos showing a supposed takeover were fabricated by terrorist sleeper cells already within the city.  The 25th Brigade, led by General Saleh Al Abdullah, assures the Syrian people that the few infiltrating terrorists will either be killed or expelled.

It is clear that Syria was caught on the back foot and many questions are being asked.  But for now, the temporary collapse in defense was a short-lived, and by everything that I can see, the situation is now under control.

No links as massive crawlers are running searching for ‘the wrong links’ and massive botnets attack ‘the wrong links’.

I promised an update at the end of this day (my day).  It is déjà vu and those that passionately followed the Syrian war will recognize it. 

Fog of war.  This is a small example of what is being reported and we cannot check the veracity of even a little bit of it.

Aleppo Under Lockdown:

All land and air entrances to Aleppo are now closed to civilian traffic and are being secured by the Syrian Armed Forces. Airport is closed, and all flights have been canceled as military operations intensify in the region.  – This is accurate.

Syrian sources: Russian SU-34 bombers began operating about 20 minutes ago. A bank of targets for terrorists will be destroyed in conjunction with targeting their movements in the areas they have infiltrated. – This cannot be confirmed now.

Reports indicate that 3 brigades of the Iraqi Army and 2 brigades of the Hashd al-Shaabi have been deployed along the Syrian-Iraq border, signaling a significant uptick in military activity in the region. Additionally, Syrian media reports that a squadron of Russian strike fighters is expected to enter Syria, likely to support ongoing operations in Aleppo and Idlib. – This cannot be confirmed

In parallel, forces affiliated with the IRGC (Iran), including the army of Imam Husayn (A), Fatemiyoun military advisers, and local Syrian Shia defense forces, are reportedly advancing from eastern Syria near the Iraqi border towards Aleppo. – Although rumors abounded all through this day that Iraqi soldiers are mobilizing, this cannot be confirmed.

The Syrian rebel factions ask Russia to stop bombing them, and say they want good relations with Russia – Yeah right

Kremlin: Türkiye violated the Astana and Sochi agreements, and Damascus has the full right to restore security in Aleppo using all types of weapons and methods, and urgently – There is no Kremlin comment of this nature. 

And if that is not enough, let me give you an example of what is happening now in the information space.  I’ll use myself and AHH.  He reported a few things in the comments.  My sources say exactly the opposite.   This is what is meant by Fog of War.  I am only too happy that this can be illustrated.

What this means to me, is that nobody is really qualified to understand the scope of what is happening now.  This is what it looked like in 2011.

The only real issue here, is that we have proxy war number 3 raging hot.  Everyone on the side of a free world is trying their best, yet, hasbara reigns still at this moment.  In the meantime, I got hold of the israeli/Lebanon peace agreement (and its side letter of poison) and will post that up.  I have been very suspicious about that, and now my suspicions have a basis.  How anyone could have signed that is a mystery.

Please know that we are probably viewing the First BRICS war as an extension of the war in the Middle East-South Asia.
