Lindsey Williams : The Elite preparing to invade Syria and move on to Saudi Arabia

25 Aug 2012 - Lindsey Williams : The Elite preparing to invade Syria and move on to Saudi Arabia , Assad of Syria is setting the elite's agenda back 6 months , now Obama is accusing Syria to wi9lling to use its chemical weapons just an excuse to prepare an invasion by NATO and move on to Saudi Arabia from there , a scenario that already happened with Iraq and the so called weapons of mass destruction , the elite are in panic mode their agenda is to create chaos and give every single country in the middle east to the Muslim brotherhood and Al Qaeda , the elite are desperate to get the price of oil to $150 a barrel in order for them to continue drilling at the Liberty rig in Alaska
Pastor Lindsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams' love for his country and concern for the spiritual welfare of the "pipeliners," ; he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company. Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to information documented in his eye opening book, The Energy Non-Crisis.
After numerous public speaking engagements in the western states, certain government officials and concerned individuals urged Mr. Williams to put into print what he saw and heard, stating that they felt this information was vital to national security. Mr. Williams firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy. Thus, The Energy Non-Crisis.

League lock-out: neighbors sanction Syria

The foreign ministers of the Arab League, consisting of 22 members, have confirmed the suspension of Syria from the group, blaming it for the violent suppression of anti-government rallies.

Russian lawmaker and foreign policy architect Konstantin Kosachev thinks that Russia is “probably one of the very few, or maybe the only country, which maintains dialogue both with Assad and with the opposition.”

As violence continues unabated in this Arab Republic, members of the Syrian opposition are telling Russian diplomats they are against any foreign military intervention in the settlement of their country's conflict.

Syria is becoming increasingly isolated with its neighbors turning their backs on it. Some believe that the Arab League and especially the Gulf states are doing the bidding of the West by putting more pressure on Damascus.

The “illegitimate” decision to suspend Syria from the Arab League has received wide support from the EU and the US. Russia, however, has strongly opposed the measure, which is starting to look like another step on the road to a Libya-style scenario.

As massive pro-Assad demonstrations continue across Syria, Damascus has called for an emergency meeting of Arab League heads of state in an apparent attempt to avert its suspension from the regional bloc.

The Arab League has voted to suspend Syria from all meetings until Damascus ends its bloody crackdown against anti-government protesters.

With images of NATO’s use of excessive force in Libya in the rear-view mirror, Russia is calling for the international community to support a non-violent Syrian settlement plan put forward by the League of Arab States (LAS).

Syria’s president has until Saturday to stop the violent crackdown on protesters and allow a monitoring team into the country, demands the Arab League, which threatens to tighten the financial noose around the regime by slapping down heavy sanctions.

­And while the drum-beat for international pressure against Bashar al-Assad gets louder, there are fears this may only make a bad situation worse.

On Thursday, governmental forces raided the restive Hama province, where Syrian Army defectors attacked an army checkpoint the previous day, protesters reported. The so-called “Free Syria Army” claims to have 25,000 members currently.

Earlier Assad’s supporters attacked several embassies in Damascus following country’s suspension by the Arab League. The risky situation prompted France to recall its ambassador from the country.

Turkey, which once supported Assad’s government, now says it plans to suspend joint oil exploration and is considering stopping electricity supplies to Syria.

As the international pressure on Syria rises, there are growing fears that it may follow the Libyan scenario.

London-based human rights group the Syrian Observatory wants both a buffer zone and a Libyan-style no-fly zone in Syria. The call, however, is so far unlikely to gain UN Security Council support. A previous draft resolution on Syria sponsored by Europe had been vetoed by Russia and China.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday that it is greatly concerned over the situation and the ongoing violence. But ministerial spokesman Liu Weimin stressed that any possible Security Council action regarding Syria would have to help ease tensions and solve the crisis through political means.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on the Arab League to make it clear that it wants the violence stopped from both sides of the conflict.

“The violence in Syria comes not from the governmental structures only. There is an increasing amount of weaponry there smuggled from neighboring countries,” he said on Thursday. The Arab League’s members should “come up with a demand not only for the government, but also to the Syrian opposition to stop violence.”

He added that the League’s observers and the media, which Assad’s government agreed to allow into the country, will have to monitor both sides to see how this demand is met.

The pressure on Syria from the Arab League is being seen by some as little more than doing the West's bidding, says Russia's envoy to NATO, Dmitry Rogozin.

“Many countries that now call the shots in the Arab League are closely connected with top Western powers. Qatar, which actually hosted all the latest Arab League sessions, is a country that fought in Libya; it makes no secret of the fact that its special operations forces were among the rebels,” he pointed out.  

Likewise, former pentagon official Michael Maloof told RT that foreign attempts to shift the balance of power in the Syria had led to opposition to become increasingly militant.

“It’s quite clear that there’s quite an organized effort from outside to arm and to take advantage of what was popular discontent, and now, it has become much more of a militarized form of opposition from within,” he said. 


Even in Israel – Syria’s arch enemy – some would rather Assad stayed in power.

“The Alawites have been doing us a favor, doing Israel a favor, of course this is not understood this way commonly, but they’ve essentially been going us a favor by keeping this population under control and if they go, it’s going to be an explosion,” said Professor John Myhill from the University of Haifa.

While the Arab League has stopped short of calling for Syrian President’s departure, critics say their stance is nothing short of hypocrisy.

“They have no democracy or at least, some of them, they don’t have constitution, and at the same time they are asking Syria to modify constitution and to develop the democracy that they are having. It is ironic and paradox [sic] at the same time,” Ali Hamdan points out.

What is more, Assad has shown he is willing to conduct reforms. But it is not clear the Arab League has the patience to listen.

And neither do Western leaders, who decided a long time ago Assad needs to go. Without the option to do it through the United Nations, the Arab League is their next best option.

No, because the American people have no control? of themselves as a people They have been stripped of any right to exist. The clown has enthralled them with sweet words to believe the best is to let people serve the "state" and not let the state serve the Amerikan People . We're going to need the STABILITY of regular people staking their claims in their homes.

'Coordinated media attack against Syria will continue'

The Syrian government has agreed to an Arab League peace plan to end almost eight months of unrest that has left scores dead. However, with the opposition against any initiative that would leave Assad in power, the country remains as divided as ever.

There is a conspiracy involving regional powers that is aimed at overthrowing the Assad regime in Syria, warned Beirut-based political analyst Kamel Al Wazne.

With 37 people reportedly killed by Syrian security forces in anti-government protests on Friday, opposition activists are now urging protesters to rally for a no-fly zone over the country – a move tantamount to foreign intervention.

The economic sanctions which are having a harsh impact on the Syrian population highlight a clear contradiction in the West’s approach to Syria, insists Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem.

The unrest engulfing Syria is mirrored in the internet with a PR-civil-war. While some videos show “atrocious bandits”, others opt for “atrocious army men”. And none shows what ordinary Syrians live through.

The unrest engulfing Syria is descending into all-out conflict, with the growing violence claiming lives on both sides.

While the Syrian government has agreed to an Arab league proposal that could put a stop to nearly eight months of violence, independent journalist James Corbert argues a media campaign is underway to help overthrow the Syrian government.

­According to Colbert, human rights groups are being used as a front to destabilize the Syrian government. He sees a link between Syria and Libya, where a stream of unverifiable stories were used to undermine the Gaddafi regime.

“The latest example in fact is just breaking now, is that apparently they’re trying to say that the ceasefire has already been broken by Syrian troops firing on citizens,” he says.

The Syrian opposition rejected the Arab League peace plan for Syria on Thursday amid claims that some 20 people had been killed in and around the city of Homs since Tuesday.  

The opposition continued that the overthrow of the current regime was a precondition for talks with the government.    

Corbert also drew attention to one London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which reported last August that babies in incubators were being harmed when power was cut off in the city of Hama.  

He draws a parallel between this claim and accusations made prior to the 1991 US Invasion of Iraq, whereby Iraqi soldiers allegedly stormed a Kuwait city hospital and took babies out of incubators, leaving them to die on the floor.

The story of the babies being snatched from incubators was repeated both before the US Congress and at the UN Security Council in the run up to the Gulf War. The claim, based on the hand-written testimony of 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl allegedly volunteering in the hospital at the time, actually came from the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US.

Colbert claims the Syrian story was also fabricated, and that the video footage used as evidence had actually been shot in Egypt.

He also contends that while the Syrian government has been held responsible for all instances of violence in the country, the Western media has often ignored reports that Damascus is facing an armed insurrection.  

“One of the untold assumptions in all of this is that the protestors are somehow peacefully protesting and there is no violence coming from their side of it, which I think is categorically untrue, and has been shown to be untrue by the fact that Syrian forces themselves are being shot at so clearly there are armed protestors here, this is not just some peaceful, benign movement.”

As the United States also maintains that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad had lost legitimacy and must step down regardless of the recently agreed peace deal in Cairo, Colbert says it has been Washington’s long-standing policy to remove Assad from power.  

“In Libya, where we saw the well-funded and well-supported rebels taking over…we see that happening again through covert means here with covert supplies going to the Syrian opposition and that came out earlier this year that in fact the US State Department has been funding the Syrian opposition for years so again we see the exact same pattern ramping up.”

According to diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks in April, the United States has been funding the Syrian opposition since 2005, when then-President George W. Bush effectively cut off political ties with the Syrian government.  That policy continued under President Obama, despite his administration’s policy of rapprochement with Damascus.
