The White Helmets Invade Venezuela

July 6, 2026 Kit Klarenberg, Scheer Post. , , , ,
On June 27th, a plane ferrying a “specialized” team of “highly trained search and rescue specialists” flew into Venezuela from Damascus. Dispatched at putative Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa’s direct order, the 15-strong group is assisting disaster efforts launched by Caracas in response to devastating twin earthquakes. Among them are members of the notorious White Helmets. A bogus humanitarian group constructed by MI6, they played a central role in Britain’s protracted coup of Bashar Assad. Are the White Helmets similarly in Venezuela to assist regime change?

Syria’s Al-Sharaa Dismisses Trump’s Proposal For Military Intervention In Lebanon

July 5, 2026 Aseel Saleh, Breakthrough News. , , , ,
US President Donald Trump announced mid-June that he discussed with Syrian interim President Ahmad al-Sharaa the possibility of Syria’s military intervention in Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah. Trump claimed that by tasking Syria with this mission, he aims to stop the mass killing committed by Israel during its attempts to dismantle the Lebanese resistance movement. “I’ll tell you what, Israel is fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed, and you don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you are looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses and they are not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you."

OPCW Confirms It Buried Critical Evidence In Chemical Weapons Probe

May 8, 2026 Aaron Maté, The Grayzone. , , ,
For the first time in a prolonged cover-up scandal, the world’s top chemical watchdog has acknowledged censoring a finding that undermined allegations of a toxic gas attack by the former Syrian government. According to previously leaked documents, expert German military toxicologists consulted by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of death of dozens of victims in an alleged chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma in April 2018. The experts even raised the possibility that the incident was a false flag.

Israel And US Pressure Syria’s Ahmed al-Sharaa To Join War

March 30, 2026 Robert Inlakesh, Mintpress News. , , ,
Openly declaring its intent to illegally occupy southern Lebanon, Israel finds itself in a costly ground battle with Hezbollah, from which there are indications Syria may soon be roped in. This is born from the understanding that in order to successfully weaken the Lebanese resistance, the Israeli military must penetrate the Bekaa Valley area. Understanding the costly price of attempting to physically take all of south Lebanon militarily, both Washington and Tel Aviv have been attempting to devise strategies that would help achieve Israel’s war goals of weakening Hezbollah. 

Syrian Alawites Begin Mass Protests Against Government Violence

December 28, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Syrian citizens of the Alawite minority sect took to the streets on 28 December to protest against government violence and sectarian persecution, in line with a call made by the community’s religious leader a day earlier. Members of the minority sect protested in the Alawite neighborhoods of the central governorate of Homs, and in several towns and cities on the country’s coast, including Tartous, Jableh, and Latakia. Protests also erupted in Hama governorate, including in the city of Masyaf. Alawite Syrians held up banners reading “Federalism is the solution” and “the blood of Alawites is not cheap,” among other slogans.

Syrian Alawites Launch General Strike

December 9, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
Alawites in Syria are carrying out a general strike to express their support of federalism and to protest against sectarian killings, arbitrary detentions, and kidnappings being carried out by the extremist-led government. The strike, which is planned to last for five days, has spread to large parts of the cities of Tartous, Jableh, Qardaha, Latakia, Salhab, Masyaf, Safita, and the Alawite neighborhoods in Homs. Photos circulating on social media show shuttered shops and empty transportation hubs in Alawite neighborhoods. The strike was called by prominent Alawite religious leader Sheikh Ghazal Ghazal and the Political Council of Central and Western Syria, which organized large protests across the coastal cities on 25 November.

Files Expose Britain’s Secret D-Notice Censorship Regime

December 1, 2025 Kit Klarenberg and William Evans, The Grayzone. , , , , , , , , , , ,
A new trove of documents obtained by The Grayzone through freedom of information (FOI) requests provide unprecedented insight into Britain’s little-known military and intelligence censorship board. The contents lay bare how the secretive Defence and Security Media Advisory (DSMA) Committee censors the output of British journalists, while categorizing independent media as “extremist” for publishing “embarrassing” stories. The body imposes what are known as D-Notices, gag-orders systematically suppressing information available to the public.

Trump Adds EU Antifa Groups, Drug Cartels To Terror List

November 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The US government is “pursuing an unprecedented expansion” of its list of foreign terrorist organizations by adding left-wing groups in Europe and drug cartels in Latin America, The Washington Post reported on 16 November, just days after removing a former Al-Qaeda leader and hosting him at the White House. Led by neoconservative Zionist Jews, the US government launched the so-called “War on Terror” following the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. After blaming Islamic extremists from Al-Qaeda for the attacks, US lawmakers passed the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF), giving the George W. Bush White House the freedom to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and intervene anywhere in the world under the pretext of fighting terrorism.

What Is Really Happening In Venezuela?

November 15, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , ,
Venezuela is very divided politically, but in general, the Bolivarian Revolution initiated by previous President Hugo Chávez and continued by current President Nicolás Maduro still has a lot of support from poor and working-class Venezuelans. Most rich people and elites are pro-US and anti-government. Many of them have left the country, but there are still some in Venezuela (especially in wealthy areas like Chacao). In Venezuela, most people are tired of political conflict and violence, and they simply want stability. The right-wing opposition does not have many active supporters inside the country. Whenever they try to hold a protest, only a few hundred people show up.

US Envoy: Syria Will ‘Actively Assist’ Washington In Confronting Hezbollah

November 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
US envoy Tom Barrack said on 13 November that the extremist-led government in Damascus will “actively assist” Washington and Tel Aviv in confronting Hezbollah in Lebanon. “I had the profound honor of accompanying Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to the White House, where he became the first Syrian Head of State ever to visit since Syria gained its independence in 1946,” Barrack said on X. He also hailed the former Al-Qaeda chief’s “commitment” to joining Washington's ‘anti-ISIS’ coalition, “marking Syria’s transition from a source of terrorism to a counterterrorism partner – a commitment to rebuild, to cooperate, and to contribute to the stability of an entire region.” “Damascus will now actively assist us in confronting and dismantling the remnants of ISIS, the IRGC, Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist networks, and will stand as a committed partner in the global effort to secure peace,” the envoy added.

Al-Qaeda Goes To Washington

November 12, 2025 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. , , , , , , , ,
I never thought I would see the day, but the day came Monday, when Ahmed al–Sharaa arrived at the White House for a sit-down with President Donald Trump and the usual gaggle of misfits who must be there to make sure the Trumpster understands at least a little of what is being said. A freak-show terrorist amid all that retro Oval Office elegance: Who could have imagined so offensive a tableau? Al–Sharaa, alert readers will know, is one of those dripping-with-blood Sunni jihadists who, during the West’s extended covert operation against the Assad regime in Syria, had the habit of changing their names and the names of their murderous militias whenever the world figured out who they were and the extent of their savagery.

How Eighty Years Of US Aggression Finally Broke Syria And Why

November 3, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , , , ,
The Syrian government under Bashar Al-Assad was so successfully demonized by Western imperialist media and governments that many celebrated when Assad was overthrown last December, even though the new puppet government was led by the extremist Al Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda terrorist group. Now, Syria is balkanized and the government is implementing forced displacement and ethnic cleansing. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dan Kovalik, co-author with Jeremy Kuzmarov of "Syria: Anatomy of Regime Change," about the long history of US interference in Syria, dating back to the 1946 coup, how the recent coup appeared to happen so rapidly and the current situation in Syria, as well as the impact of these events on the region.

Lebanon Under Siege: Inside Israel’s Plan To Disarm Hezbollah

October 11, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , ,
Fresh from its success in overthrowing the government of Syria and the assassination of the prime minister of Yemen, the U.S.-Israeli alliance has its sights set on a new target: Hezbollah. Last week, the United States government sent $230 million in military aid to the Lebanese Army. This enormous weapons package was green lit with one objective: to dismantle Hezbollah as a force capable of resisting Israeli attacks. In September, the Lebanese government rubber-stamped the Trump administration’s plan to disarm the civilian-military organization, which holds 15 seats in the Lebanese parliament. Returning to the MintCast to discuss the tense political situation in her native Lebanon is Ghadi Francis. Ghadi Francis is an author, journalist, and war correspondent who has covered the political situation across West Asia in great detail.

Syrian Forces Evict Alawites From Damascus Neighborhood En Masse

September 15, 2025 Jason Ditz, Antiwar.com. , , , ,
Continuing the purge of Syria’s Alawite minority that began with large scale massacres back in March, Interior Ministry security forces have almost entirely depopulated the metro Damascus neighborhood of al-Somaria, which was up until the raids, an Alawite majority area. The raids began in late August, with security forces led by an Interior Ministry commander known as Abu Hudhayfah entering al-Somaria with guns and eviction orders. They went door to door and informed Alawite locals that they were living there illegally and demanded they prove otherwise. Those who couldn’t immediately document the ownership had their homes spray-painted with O’s, meaning they had to leave within 48 hours.
