Video from the siege of Sheikh Maqsoud: a jihadist abusing a Kurdish woman, calling her a “PKK pig.” These are ISIS/Nusra/al-Qaeda offshoots now presented as Syrian government forces. Western media calls this “clashes,” despite a declared siege and ultimatum. The same Kurdish women once celebrated for defeating ISIS are now being sacrificed for political convenience.

Archive footage. This is al-Julani, today Ahmed al-Sharaa, the man President Trump just cited while speaking about fallen U.S. soldiers — filmed inside the ISIS ecosystem, alongside militants, with the ISIS flag behind him. This is the “partner” now entrusted with U.S. troops.

Nothing says “pro-Kurdish” like declaring Kurds unsuitable for the 3,600 km² they’ve lived in for centuries, then proposing to move them out (with a military operation) and replace them with 2 million Syrian Arab refugees from Turkey.

Trump seems to have unilaterally extended the ceasefire, yet the IRGC has not stopped targeting Kurdish Iranian camps in the Kurdistan Region in Iraq. The footage is from today, and nobody is talking about it.

8/ These actions align with Turkey’s long-term goals: Dismantling the AANES—a model of democracy, gender equality, and ecological justice—and ethnically cleansing the Kurdish population to resettle pro-Islamist Arab factions and their families.

Senator Chris Van Hollen Dear Senator, I hope your voters see this and realize that the group you are calling 'the Syrian government' is, quite literally, ISIS. What you define as an 'ongoing integration process' is Washington-speak for the massacre of Kurds following another American betrayal.

Trump mocked the Kurds for “not wanting to fight” Iraq. What he forgot to mention: he left them facing US-trained Iraqi tanks and IRGC militias without air cover. Now he’s back demanding they choose a side.

On the 42nd anniversary of the PKK armed struggle, the headlines are fixated on disarmament and surrender to the Turkish state. But after 42 years, we are looking at a revolution that has already transcended continents. It’s no coincidence that the comrades of AIF, fighting alongside the Chin Brotherhood in Myanmar today, chose a Kurdish song rooted in PKK tradition. Şoreşgerî karê me ye / Revolution is our business Çîyayê bilind warê me ye / The high mountains are our home Ar û namûs barê me ye / Honor is our burden Li hemberê wan faşîstan / Against those fascists

That’s Mazloum Abdi, the Kurdish commander and military hero who spent 12 years fighting and helping defeat ISIS as the U.S.’s most reliable ally in Syria. Instead of medals, he wears pictures of his fallen comrades on his chest. He was betrayed by Trump.

A Syrian govt soldier, captured by Druze resistance in Suwayda, has confirmed what many knew but few dared to say: the govt ordered its forces to hide their role in the massacre to avoid Israeli airstrikes. He identify his commander as Brig. Gen. Mohammed al-Jassem (Abu Amsha), recently sanctioned by the EU for his role in the 6–27 March Alawite massacre. Damascus unleashed the jihadist horde, then tried to vanish behind it. The Druze stood alone.

$From a military analyst’s point of view, this could hardly be labeled as a coup attempt against Venezuela. Either it was a deliberate distraction, or the people around Trump were so incompetent they genuinely thought this would work. What happened next: the Vice President immediately convened the Council of Defense of the Nation, invokes extraordinary powers within the constitutional framework, and appears publicly with the entire civilian and military leadership. That’s not a regime in free fall, that’s leadership closing ranks and buying time to rally support. More importantly, there’s no military fracture. No rogue colonel. No brigade or division moving against the government. No seizure of state media. No competing authority inside the country claiming legitimacy. Nothing. What you have instead is institutional shelling-up, coordinated signaling, and a rally effect, while the U.S. side offers nothing but banditry, rhetoric, and Elon Musk tweeting nonsense. If this looks more like a pantomime than regime change, it's because it is one.$

#Syria / Mario Nawfal (a Qatari-funded grifter) tried to boot me from his propaganda Space after I exposed his hero al-Julani's recent history of massacres of Kurds, Alawites, & Druze. He FAILED spectacularly: a mysterious "glitch" stopped the kick, so they panicked & SHUT DOWN THE WHOLE SPACE to silence me. Raw recording attached, hear them squirm. Share if you're done with terrorist-laundering propaganda. This is how they operate when exposed.

While a normal country would be celebrating Christmas Eve with family and watching Christmas specials, the Turkish national channel has armchair generals salivating over the prospect of Jolani joining Turkey's ongoing military operation to ethnically cleanse millions of Kurds and destroy the AANES region, with NATO Joint Military Symbology attack plans and everything.
