Kofi Annan: International Community Has Failed SyriaGlobalization exposed as self-serving, driven by elitist special interests. Whatever role the UNs Kofi Annan was playing, it appears that at least his latest statements have in fact been neutral, with the Western media taking it upon itself to then twist his comments out of context by constructing a fictitious narrative of mind-bending proportions. The London Guardian, in true propagandist form stated in an article titled, Kofi Annan attacks Russia and wests destructive competition over Syria, that Kofi Annan has issued a blunt warning that Syria will face a spreading civil war and risk a spillover of the conflict unless Russia, the west and Arab states end their destructive competition to force a ceasefire and launch a political process that the opposition insists must see President Bashar al-Assad step down. By mentioning Russia first and by presenting Syrian President Bashar al-Assads resignation as the only viable option to end the violence, the Guardian attempts to spin Annans comments as an attack on solely the Syrian government and its international supporters, which include Russia, China, and a large bloc of South American nations, collectively representing over a billion people. Image: Coincidence? As US State Department Secretary Hillary Clinton was attending a Friends of Syria conference in Paris to map out the next leg of violent Western-backed subversion against Damascus, US State Department-led Amnesty International staged a march in the streets of Paris featuring protesters carrying the old French colonial flag of Syria in support of NATOs militant proxies. Manufacturing public consensus where none exists is a specialty of modern Western imperialism. (Photo: AFP) Only toward the end of the Guardians article does it report the rest of Annans comments, which state, they [the west] accuse the Russians of arming the [Syrian] government. The Russians accuse them of arming the opposition and flooding the place with weapons. This is instead of coming together to see what can be done. The Guardian then admits that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are financing and arming NATOs proxies, the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) while the US is coordinating with them and supplying them with communications equipment. The Guardian of course is not alone. This narrative is directed by the US State Department and the British Foreign Office and echoed throughout the Western corporate-media. The Washington Post likewise skewed reality and placed words into the mouth of Annan declaring that efforts for finding a peaceful political solution in Syria have failed. The Washington Post contradicts its own reportage, now claiming that no countries are known to be arming the FSA, when its own article, Syrian rebels get influx of arms with gulf neighbors money, U.S. coordination, clearly stated otherwise, clearly implicating both the Gulf States of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as well as the United States itself. It is left to readers to determine whether the Washington Post is suffering from incompetent editors or is engaged in a campaign of fraudulent dissembling and war propaganda. The Washington Post then disingenuously cites the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, referring to it as an organization when in reality it is a single man, Rami Abdelrahman, living in England, who had left Syria 10 years ago and openly admits he seeks the downfall of Syrian President Assad. Abdelranhman is known to be directly coordinating his propaganda campaign with the British Foreign Office and has been photographed by Reuters skulking in and out of Foreign Secretary William Hagues office.

The Washington Post fails to mention that the march was in fact organized by Amnesty International, led by the US State Departments own Suzanne Nossel, and the US State Departments National Endowment for Democracy (NED) funded Federation for Human Rights (FIDH). FIDH is also funded by convicted criminal and Wall Street speculator George Soros Open Society Institute. What the Washington Post actually reported on was a staged march organized by members of the Friends of Syria conference itself to construct fictitious public consensus for the group and its taking a harder, more interventionist line against Syria. It may also serve as an attempt to further undermine the UN process that has effectively allowed Russia and China to block Western hegemonic ambitions verses Syria. NED and Open Societys role in supporting expanded intervention by the West to achieve its long sought after regime change indicates that it is not in fact any sort of international community that has engineered and supported the Wests agenda in Syria, but the special interests represented by NED and Open Society namely the corporate-financier interests of the Fortune 500. This same gambit has been used to one degree or another around the globe in an attempt to harness the perceived legitimacy of NGOs, the extensive propaganda network the Western press maintains, and the concepts of human rights, democracy, and freedom to couch ambitions of neo-imperial global hegemony. Since it is these special interests that masquerade as the international community, then indeed the international community has failed Syria since from the beginning it had every intention to mire Syria in sectarian violence, political destabilization, economic ruination, and eventual social and political collapse. Since 2007, this so-called international community has been conspiring against world peace, as duly noted in Seymour Hershs New Yorker article, The Redirection (2007). In it, it was clearly stated that the United States, Israel, and their Gulf State proxies, particularly Saudi Arabia, were already building an armed secular extremist frontwith which to wage violent subversion upon Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. From the US-engineered Arab Spring to the extremist violence that has ravaged Libya and now Syria, the West is executing a coordinated, premeditated military and political campaign to conquer by proxy a vast swath of territory extending from North Africa, through the Middle East, and into Central Asia. It is a geopolitical campaign that directly targets all sovereign nation states, and in particular Russia and China in what is only the latest in a long struggle throughout human history by megalomaniacs to establish uncontested global hegemony. As the ploys are overused, their effectiveness has begun to falter and the legitimacy of the Wests actions and role is now failing. What we are left with is an overt campaign of military aggression, in direct violation of world peace and any norm of international law, real or contrived. Globalization on all fronts has been exposed as a method for achieving the goals and aspirations not of humanity, but of a handful of elitist special interests at the expense of the vast majority. Identifying and exposing these interests is key, as is the establishment of genuine grassroots institutions and paradigms of and by the people to replace the faltering and self-serving institutions of globalization.
