Reps From Half the World's Population Meet to Resist Foreign Destabilization in Syria

Iran has recently hosted 30 nations including Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, Afghanistan, Algeria, Iraq, Oman, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, Cuba, Jordan, Tunisia, Palestine, and many others in Tehran this week in efforts to support the Syrian government against foreign destabilization. Upon the agenda were calls to end foreign arms currently flowing into terrorist hands inside Syria, proposals to broker a meaningful ceasefire, the coordination of humanitarian aid, and supporting the Syrian people's right to reform without foreign interference.

The unique conference featured representatives of over half of the world's population, and signals that indeed, Syria's government is not as "isolated" as portrayed by Western neo-imperialists.

Image: An impressive counter to the so-called "Friends of Syria" confabs held by Wall Street and London corporate-financier interests in an attempt to sway global opinion toward a repeat of Libya's destruction at NATO's hands, the International Consultative Conference hosed by Iran seeks to end the flow of foreign arms into militant hands and resolve political differences through more civilized means.

The meeting comes as revelations emerge that the United States, United Kingdom, NATO-member Turkey, and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are supplying weapons, cash, and other assistance to foreign militants with direct links to Al Qaeda. These include Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) militants who are in fact listed by both the US State Department and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf) as a foreign terrorist organization and a proscribed terrorist organization respectively.


As foreign militants continue to flow over Syria's borders bolstered with an increase in foreign aid, sectarian violence has spiraled out of control. The UN has categorically failed to condemn the West's state sponsorship of international terrorism now ravaging Syria. It appears that nations around the world, including shareholders in the Anglo-American establishment, may be having second thoughts about the increasingly untenable enterprise the West has chosen to pursue.

Earlier this month, during a Saudi-Qatari sponsored, US-UK-backed UN resolution, a large number of nations either voted no, abstained, or failed to attend the vote, indicating slipping support for what is sometimes called the "Washington consensus."

US, GCC, and NATO actions in Libya in support of sectarian militants to install a stable of Western-created proxies into power has stripped away much of the "primacy" of "international law" and left the willfully abused geopolitical tenant of "responsibility to protect" (R2P) irrevocably in tatters. With the West's attempted destabilization of Syria stalled, global public opinion has grown aware of the true nature of Syria's so-called "rebels," and that many are foreign fighters committing an array of abhorrent atrocities. The UN's failure to act, or even worse, its role in facilitating what equates to military aggression couched in "humanitarian" pretenses, jeopardizes international law all together.

The West has ungracefully faced this quandary of its own creation by simultaneously attempting to use the presence of Al Qaeda terrorists as a causus belli to militarily intervene while also rebranding Al Qaeda as champions of freedom in Syria.

One breathtaking account was given by the Fortune 500-funded Council on Foreign Relations in their article, "Al-Qaeda's Specter in Syria," claiming:
The Syrian rebels would be immeasurably weaker today without al-Qaeda in their ranks. By and large, Free Syrian Army (FSA) battalions are tired, divided, chaotic, and ineffective. Feeling abandoned by the West, rebel forces are increasingly demoralized as they square off with the Assad regime's superior weaponry and professional army. Al-Qaeda fighters, however, may help improve morale. The influx of jihadis brings discipline, religious fervor, battle experience from Iraq, funding from Sunni sympathizers in the Gulf, and most importantly, deadly results. In short, the FSA needs al-Qaeda now.
Clearly, no nation in good conscience, or at least interested in self-preservation, could condone the overt destabilization of Syria by foreign powers with disingenuous motives, using listed-terrorist organizations to do so. The potential of this same ploy then being turned against other nations including members of Iran's 30 nation conference, or even the US and UK's "Friends of Syria" confabs, becomes increasingly more likely if such tactics are not condemned and altogether balked.


While US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton talks of "no-fly zones" with NATO-member Turkey this week, the successful conference in Tehran illustrates that any such act of aggression will be carried out unilaterally, further undermining the West's own contrived "international order" with a growing number of nations standing in direct opposition, not in support of, Wall Street and London's next move.

Iran plans to hold another such conference later this month.

So if Libya is such a success story why has Corporate News completely blacked out coverage. Obviously to hide fact Militias run the country , Africans are systematically being hunted down , tortured and murdered and U.S. mercenaries are flooding the country . So don't be surprised after the destruction of Syria , it'll be buried also .

The lines have been drawn in the sand and defined. The time left is reduced for evil that masquerades under a banner of "peace and security" all the while being the greatest global perpetrators of war, terrorism and incomprehensible human suffering.
They have fed off the blood, sweat and tears of humankind for far too long.
The international majority rejects the zionist israeli regime and abhors its crimes against humanity. The UN is openly supportive of all zionist allied nations and provides a cover of "security forces"for their NATO death squads. UN have lost ALL credibility and with a vote of no confidence by a majority of nations will render it the discriminatory, defunct and obsolete organization it is.

The fact that Iran had hosted 30 nations does not mesn that half the world is in favour of what came out from this meeting. Only max of 30 people might agreed if any. This apply on the otherside of the story too. Representatives as always decide on behalf of their nation and not people. I bet that the tunisian people, libyans, and others are in favour of the uprising in Syria. Dictators on our globe have no more space for them whoever they are.

i thought there was no al qaeda??? Isn't that what we have been told for years contrary to the propaganda put out by the US?

So where is the headquarters for al qaeda? How many in the organization?

Amazing how we are asked to now believe Al Qaeda is raising a ruckus in Syria, but before we were told Al Qaeda was fiction.

Are there any links or references to this info regarding the Iran conference?? I thought not.

You need to pay more attention to what Mr. Cartalucci writes. Good luck.

__Good article ___I remember the friends of Venezuela, then friends of Libya, now of Syria _____ Hopefully, Russia and China was there, to oppose the decisions of the too friendly (banksters, NED-CIA,Soros NGO,s) who want the destruction of Syria by NATO following a no-fly zone used as an excuse to carpet-bomb the country, seize the resources, privatize and install a puppet government as done in many countries before.
