The US' increasingly unhinged rhetoric reached a new level of absurdity this week as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Western nations and their Arab proxies to "make it clear that Russia and China will pay a price because they are holding up progress" in regards to the US' premeditated campaign of terrorism and violent regime change in Syria.
It was made public as early as 2007 by Seymour Hersh in his report "The Redirection" published in the New Yorker that the US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and others were gathering, funding, arming, and deploying a front of violent sectarian extremists, many with ties to Al Qaeda, to undermine, destabilize, and eventually lead to the overthrow of the governments of Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The violent campaign was rolled out publicly in the wake of a similarly premeditated geopolitical ploy, the so-called "Arab Spring," and has since then been clearly exposed as the work of violent terrorist networks. Ironically, these terrorist networks are those allegedly the impetus of the "War on Terror," now paradoxically being funded, armed, and politically backed by the West.
It was reported that Libyan terrorists led by Abdul Hakim Belhaj, commander of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), a US State Department-listed "Foreign Terrorist Organization," had joined the so-called "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) along with sectarian extremists from Iraq who specialize in the indiscriminate terrorist bombings now ravaging Syria.
In fact, the true nature of Syria's "rebels" has become so well known, that recent attempts to sway public opinion with continued, but unsubstantiated reports of "atrocities" aimed at demonizing the Syrian government have been met with skepticism, doubt, and even indignation by the public - giving nations like Russia and China not only the opportunity to defy Western dictates, but a moral imperative to do so as well.
Collapsing Legitimacy Leads to Collapsing Empires
The global hegemony of Wall Street and London has been built behind a facade of "human rights," "freedom," and "democracy." As these principles are eroded back home in the West, their use for dressing up otherwise naked imperialism, corporate monopolization, and military aggression abroad has become overt and increasingly ineffective.
While the US Secretary of State attempts to blame Russia and China for "holding up progress" in the West's campaign of premeditated destabilization in Syria, it is more likely that the West's own loss of legitimacy is the true reason it has not successfully convinced the world to go along with what is increasingly appearing to be a self-serving and very untenable agenda.
Should the US fail in its attempts to overthrow the government of Syria, and quite likely even if it does manage to succeed at this late hour, so much damage has been done to the West's credibility, as well as to the credibility of its allegedly independent institutions, that future gambits will be even more difficult to execute. As the West's economy and geopolitical power crumbles and its reach becomes less subtle and more adversarial, shareholders will seek more secure investments, financially, politically, and even tactically.
Maintaining an empire relies on an immense global infrastructure the West still possesses - but it is an infrastructure that is meeting competition from not only rival hegemonies, but from within individual nations as well, on both a national and grassroots level. Empires are also built on psychological factors such as faith in one's institutions and fear of one's military prowess. The West has been increasingly faltering in all respects in a world where these concepts are becoming increasingly challenged by shifting social, economic, and technological paradigms.
What the West should be doing is positioning itself for this changing world - instead it is clinging to a crumbling empire, scrambling to build a global paradigm rendered antiquated long before it has even been implemented. Boycotting the corporate-financier interests behind this attempt at establishing global hegemony will accelerate and ensure its failure - while resolving ourselves to creating genuine institutions on a local and national level for and by the people will ensure that we are not left in disarray once these corrupt globalist institutions are rendered moot.

Everytime there is Liberal in power...we loose liberties and the comunist/muslins win...
I don't think Syria is that important as if the US loses Syria and the US loses it's empire. That's a little too dramatic. Sryia is just an excuse to get the UN, Isael, and Iran all involved with the US as well. If all the players show up- it could start WW3 between the East vs. West.
Syria is just one of the pawn and wedges to see if it can spark the big battle. It's kind of like Bugs Bunny with Yosemite same "Cross this line and your gonna get it." "I'm a steppin" and then the line is redrawn. But at some point the fight will begin- it's just nobody knows where the fine line crossed will set of the powder keg that has been growing every month in the mideast.
This is pretty much how the world leaders are acting

What is looney is how serious the consequences are but yet the games these leaders are playing would be quite comical if it wasn't real.
Whatever when either party is in office we lose!!
Communist not cominist
"Everytime there is Liberal in power...we loose liberties and the comunist/muslins win..."
That's a funny statement seeing as the Globalist corporate socialist Agenda has been best served by Conservatives/NEO-Cons such as Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., etc.
Or do you forget George H.W Bush's statement back in the early 90's that Americans from then on would pledge allegiance to the United Nations Charter?
Or how about the 1970's U.N treaty signed by both Reagan and the Soviet Union turning over the "education" curriculum's in both the U.S.A and U.S.S.R to the control of the U.N to establish it's global "education" program?
Wake up and stop buying into the 100% BS "Left vs Right" paradigm, please for the Love of God.
They are just 2 Hands serving the same body, it's the Head controlling those Hands that is the problem.
I thought that was basic Knowledge by now around here.
This isn't the MLB or NHL or NFL, there are no 'Teams'. That Team mentality is why we're all Doomed if it continues much longer.
Sometimes you gotta take one for the Team
"I thought that was basic Knowledge by now around here."
It is.
The shills have come out to play in AP's comment section.
Why does the US have to act like Big Brother everywhere? They should try to settle their own affairs before they go prying elsewhere!
What is there in syria that you could possibly want ?
Agreed!
Learn the lesson of history: empires in decline produce the greatest amount of bloodshed. We are seeing that now viz-a-viz the US empire. Trying to maintain its global hegemony, particularly in the oil rich Middle East, it is increasingly getting drawn into unnecessary military conflicts. Iraq and Afghanistan have been disasters. Libya and Syria will also be disasters. Wars produce many black swans, i.e. unpredictable consequences. The First World War was almost an accident, yet it set up the stage for the next great world war.
America is just too arrogant. It is digging its own grave. It's empire will fall just like all empires before it. It is just a matter a time. Probably it won't be pretty and it will cause a great deal of turmoil, not just to US citizens but to the whole of the Western world. But one thing is certain: the American empire will fall.
It amazes me that there are STILL people walking around not giving these subjects the amount of thought they deserve.
We need to get these £$€ driven maniacs out of power and we need to do it soon.
The whole world needs to see the truth and wake up!
Hillary has turned into Henry.
The next war will be fought with a plasma cutter like in Fukushima.
My other advice to our fucked up government, please stop poking sticks at Russian government, I know I can't COMMAND YOU TO FUCKING STOP. Since your fuckin audio channel has been drilled out only to hear bankster commands. The only thing you will do is kill us American people and Russian people, while you psycho's hide in your bunkers.
