Syrian Elections Confirm Wests Worst FearsBy Tony Cartalucci Attempts to undermine the credibility of the elections have become the primary objective of US and European news agencies, however, even the US governments own election monitoring nongovernmental (NGO) agencies have conceded the last presidential election in 2014 saw soaring voter turnout, and despite attempts to leave voter turnout this year omitted from US-European press reports, it appears to also have been high. The Washington-based, USAID-funded Election Guide reported a73.42% voter turnoutin Syrias 2014 presidential election, a turnout that would be astounding had they been US elections. Voter turnout for the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections in the US, for example, were 57.1% and 54.9% respectively. The 2016 Syrian parliamentary elections appear to have also enjoyed a high turnout, with the International Business Tribune in its article, Syria Elections 2016 Updates: Geneva Peace Talks Resume Amid Scrutiny Of Countrys Ballot Process, reporting that: Voting hours for the Syrian parliamentary elections Wednesday were extended for an additional five hours because of such a high voter turnout. A religious leader there lauded the number of voters participating, saying that it was an indication to voters apparent opposition to the cruelty, terrorism and destruction experienced in Syrias civil war. Despite high turnouts in previous elections and indicators like that reported in the International Business Tribune regarding this latest poll, US papers like the New York Times (NYT) decided to sidestep facts and intentionally indulged in unconfirmed, anecdotal stories to portray turnout as low as possible and the credibility of the elections nonexistent. Anne Barnards questionable NYT article titled, Syrian Parliamentary Elections Highlight Divisions and Uncertainty, claimed that: Large parts of the country that are controlled by insurgent groups did not participate in the voting on Wednesday. Despite a fragile partial cease-fire, government and Russian warplanes have continued to hit areas controlled by nationalists and Islamist rebels, as well as territory held by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS and ISIL. An American-led coalition is also bombing areas held by the group. Throughout Barnards NYT piece, she categorically fails to inform readers that while the geographical areas controlled by insurgent groups might be large, the majority of Syrias population does not reside within them, and clearly chose to vote in large numbers both in 2014 and 2016 for the current government. Claims that Kurdish regions also did not participate, omitted the fact that Syrias total Kurdish population is less than 10% of Syrias population and that not all Syrian Kurds reside in these regions and refused to vote. It is usually the US that reminds the world of Syrias displaced population. What it often doesnt mention is the fact that most of these displaced Syrians have not fled abroad either to Turkey or Jordan or further beyond to Europe, but have instead sought safe haven in Syrias capital of Damascus and the protection of its government and the Syrian Arab Army. Syrias two biggest cities Damascus and Aleppo were seen as safe havens from the violence and gradually saw a large influx of IDPs [internally displaced persons] fleeing from the zones of conflict. It is clear that the majority of Syrias population are fleeing from US-EU backed freedom fighters and seeking sanctuary under the protection of the regime Western powers have attempted to convince the world led by villains. With this in mind, poll results in favor of the ruling government should be of no surprise, despite rhetoric circulating in US-European media. This reality confirms the Wests worst fears, that despite all attempts to divide and destroy the modern nation-state of Syria, the people remain relatively united in cause to restore peace and order within the nation, and to do so with the current government leading the way. It is also ironic that the United States and Europe endlessly expound the virtue of self-determination but now attempt to undermine an exercise in that very self-determination by the Syrian people. It is clear by the statements made by the United States and several European nations regarding the recent elections that the problem was not necessarily the manner in which the elections were held, but who they included. It was not candidates Syrian law excluded from the elections, but candidates the United States and Europe simply do not approve of. In other words, the US and Europe are doing precisely the opposite of promoting self-determination in Syria and are in fact attempting to undo or otherwise undermine the credibility of the results of the recent elections. NPR in an article titled, Parts Of Syria Vote In Parliamentary Elections That Critics Say Are A Sham, would report that: Mark Toner, U.S. State Department deputy spokesperson, said this week that to hold parliamentary elections now given the current circumstances, given the current conditions in the country, we believe is at best premature and not representative of the Syrian people. A French Foreign Ministry spokesman called the elections a sham, while his German counterpart said that country will not accept the results, Reuters reported. It should be remembered that the US and its European allieseagerly supported elections held in Ukraineamid fierce fighting in the nations easternmost region. Despite the inability or unwillingness of many in Ukraine to vote, the elections were both held and recognized by the US and Europe. The reason for this hypocrisy should be clear. Those running in Ukraines elections were candidates the US and Europe approved of, supported, and knew would win, while those running and most likely to win in Syrias elections are not. Thus, democracy from an American or European point of view, is more about special interests in the West selecting a foreign nations future government, not its people, unless of course, the people can be convinced to back those candidates Washington and Brussels supports as well. Not only does the recent election in Syria confirm the Wests worst fears of a failed campaign to divide and destroy the nation, casting doubts on the viability of installing a Western-friendly regime into power during the proposed transition, but rather than exposing the alleged illegitimacy of Syrian democracy, it is the Wests brand of selective meddling and manipulation of polls that has been laid out for all the world to see. With any luck, Syria may serve as an example for other nations to follow in resisting and overcoming foreign interference in their domestic political processes. Tony Cartalucci, Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer, especially for the online magazineNew Eastern Outlook, where this article first appeared. The private corporation located in the Dictric of Columbia; i.e., United States, Inc. Whats not to like??? F$#% the neoCONs lying bastards. The contempt that the USA, and Europe, has for the Syrian citizens reflects the contempt in which they hold their own citizens. All very true, described by top elites as cannon fodder as reported by activist George Hunt attending the UN Wilderness Conference in 1987. It seems the Syrian Elites are also duping their own people into the NWO having began implementing the globalist UN neoliberal social and economic model by 2003, the Assad family network billionaire plutocrats co-investing with Goldman Sachs, Barclays, AIG, etc and shifting billions of their wealth into Dubai, offshore accounts, and western bank controlled global investment vehicles the vast majority of the task falling to Assads cousin Rami Makhlouf who controls 60% of Syrias economy through his networks, his brother is the head of Syrias iron fist intelligence agency. Intelligence is control. CIA = Wall Street and Banksters, mirrored in Russia too. Interesting stuff I must check this out. Thanks, hope you do, the more awake we are the harder it is to fool us. I researched this myself, finding original documents and sleuthing through mainstream media articles. It takes some effort as I have no experience in investigative journalism just a bit of research tenacity from my professional work in medical science. Very true! Main stream media reporting on the Syrian election is only one layer of the onion in the n-dimensional world of geopolitics. Syrians would not be allowed to freely chose leaders who reject the NWO any more than Americans still hoping a US POTUS will be their saviors.forgetting the lesson of JFK. For at least a few years now, Syrian Academics have been discussing plans to transform Damascus into a Smart City the NWO global network system of electronic 24/7 biometric tracking and monitoring. Note that Iran has been a close Syrian ally and Tehrans transformation as a UN Sustainable Smart City (a slick colorful pdf brochure is available online in English) with cashless smart cards is already well underway and Iran has also officially agreed to Agenda 2030 = New World Order end game. As Brzezinski stated in 1971, banks and corporations are acting and planning in terms FAR IN ADVANCE of the increasingly weakened nation state model.while activists and researchers are left to judiciously study old crimes and paradigms paraphrasing the infamous Karl Rove quote on the rise of the [globalist] empire. At least let the Syrian people have the appearance of self determination! Yes, thats true too and their very dignified culture being wise and resilient has endured milleninia of hardship. Although, self determination has to be more than appearance to set us free. The Europeans do a much better job organizing protest movements than Americans, yet they have crept further down the road to NWO tyranny. TPTB provide simulacrums of self determination through rigged elections along with manufactured consent and manufactured dissent as venting mechanisms.
