Syrian Rebels Get Arms and Advice Through Secret Command Centre in Amman

“We all think they want to keep Assad stronger than us, they want to keep a balance – we get enough to keep going but not to win,”

Re: Syrian Rebels Get Arms and Advice Through Secret Command Centre in Amman

Was soll dieses Stärker - schwächer? Darum KANN es gar nicht gehen:

Die syrische Armee hat 1 Mio. Soldaten mit entsprechender Ausrüstung bzw. wenn man die Reservisten dazu zählt sogar 2 Mio.SOldaten. In manchen Gebieten gibt es noch zusätzlich Freiwillige die die Armee unterstützen.

Die eingeschleusten Guerrillakämpfer der USA/NATO/AL sind ein paar zehntausend und es sterben in etwa soviele wie ständig neu eingeschleust werden - auch die neu geplanten 50.000 die der neue Saudi-Diktator gerade rekrutieren/ausbilden läßt, werden daran nichts ändern.

SIEGEN OHNE NATO-Luftwaffe können die nie - nur morden und töten und zerstören können sie, weil sie als "zivilisten" umher reisen und gestützt durch US-Militär-Logistik (Satellitentelefone+MilitärLaptops-Satelitenbilder) gezielte Infrastrukturanschläge durchführen können, die das Land zerstören und Flüchtlinge in Millionen erzeugen.

So viele Terroristen rekrutieren, dass sie die Macht in Syrien übernehmen können, das geht gar nicht. Selbst die Freilassung von Kriminellen, die dann zum Kämpfen geschickt wurden nutzte nichts.

Raging with the Machine: Robert Fisk, Seymour Hersh and Syria

Yassin al-Haj Saleh is a Syrian writer who spent 16 years in the regime’s prisons. In this exclusive for PULSE, Saleh, who has been described as the “conscience of Syria“, discusses the distorted lens through which most people are viewing the conflict.

Syrian dissidents to form new coalition at Cairo meet

A number of Syrian opposition factions will gather in Cairo next month to form a new coalition as an alternative to an exiled West-backed alliance, officials said Saturday.

More than 200 figures from the armed and civilian opposition factions are to attend the June 8-9 gathering and discuss a roadmap aimed at ending the four-year war in Syria.

The new grouping would offer an alternative to the National Coalition, the exiled opposition bloc that is widely recognized and supported by Western and Arab countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

"Arab, Kurdish and all faiths will attend the meeting to elect a political committee to adopt a roadmap and a policy charter," Haytham Manna, a veteran opposition figure and a key organizer of the event, told AFP.

Majority of refugees have left Yarmouk camp

Up to 13,000 refugees have fled the beleaguered Yarmouk refugee camp in recent days in fear of the Islamic State group and al-Nusra Front, a local Palestinian official said Saturday.

The secretary-general of the coalition of Palestinian factions in the camp, Khalid Abd al-Majid, told Jordanian newspaper al-Ghad on Saturday that fewer than 7,000 refugees remained in the camp.

He added that these remaining refugees may be forced from the camp in coming days as well.

Yarmouk -- once a thriving, working-class residential district of the capital and home to some 160,000 people -- is the largest refugee camp in Syria, but has suffered heavily during the Syrian civil war.

Since December 2012, when the first clashes broke out between Syrian regime forces and rebels, more than 150,000 Palestinian refugees have fled from Yarmouk.

The camp came under a devastating 18-month long government siege after rebel forces took up positions inside, including elements of the extremist al-Nusra Front.

The camp was subsequently overrun by Islamic State militants in April, leading to further government bombardment.

The drug of ISIS and Al-Nusra: Captagon

The synthetic drug, “Captagon”, is said to be used widely by members of ISIS and Al-Nusra to survive pain and to gain courage. The drug is now produced in Syria, where it is exchanged with weapons in the Gulf countries.

Produced in small tablets, the drug is said to have a function for forgetting pain and fear. It has been widely used in the Syrian civil war which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

ISIS’s drug business has many times appeared in the media, while new evidence recently emerged in the Western media with testimonies of eye witnesses. It has emerged that the drugs are used not only by members of ISIS but also by members of Al-Nusra and the FSA.

Arte TV http://info.arte.tv/de/amphetamine-fur-den-kampf has broadcasted an interview with a drug dealer, who covers his face so as not to be recognised and explains the effects of Captagon tablets which he holds in his hand:

ISIS less visible in Syrian stronghold: activists

ISIS has installed surveillance cameras in its Syrian stronghold Raqqa city because it does not appear to have enough members to patrol the streets, an activist group monitoring the war said Wednesday.

Iraq, ISIS angered as Turkey hoards Euphrates waters

.................Water “played a significant role in the instigation of the civil war in Syria,” Famiglietti said. “Is it still playing a role in the continued unrest? Intuitively I think yes.”

No Decisive Outcome on Syrian Horizon

The view that 2015 has not been a particularly good year for Syrian President Bashar Assad and may get considerably worse has much to recommend it. Within Syria, the government has lost control over most of the province of Idlib in the country’s northwest, including its key towns and military bases. More recently it was almost effortlessly dislodged from Palmyra by the Islamic State (IS) movement. The key cities of Aleppo in the north and Dar’a in the south remain under threat. Increased coordination among Syria’s notoriously fractious armed rebel groups is an important factor in this regard, and reflects improved relations among their sponsors in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. Damascus now openly admits it is confronting manpower issues, partly because desertions from its conscript army appear to be a growing problem.

Pornotopia: From ISIL to Donald Trump

Throughout the long and lazy month of August, two sites of daily news in particular were competing for the headlines: The ISIL atrocities in Syria and Iraq, and Donald Trump in the United States. They looked like two testosterone-infested obnoxious teenagers waking up in the morning and wondering which one could one-up the other in their vulgar exhibitionism of violence and power.
