Peace under Assad rule is far worse than any massacre perpetrated by his ilk. Had people not reached this conclusion, we would never have had a revolution.
Sunday September 4, 2011
17 protesters were killed in various security operations mounted by pro-Assad militias and troops throughout Syria. 3 were killed in the town of Shaizar in Hama Province. Other fatalities took place in Khan Shaikhoon in the province of Idlib where security forces are still combing the area in search of Adnan Bakkour, the highest level security defector since the beginning of the Revolution.
The neighborhood of Baba Amr in Homs City was the scene of new crackdown that left 15 wounded and a number of fatalities, and in the town of Talbisseh in the Homs Province a protester died of wounds received on Friday. 4 were also killed in a raid on the city of Karnaz and 2 in the town of Tahtaya in Hama Province, while 1 was killed in Idlib City when security officers opened fire on a passenger bus.
Arrests were conducted in Deir Ezzor City, Deraa City and a number of Damascene suburbs.
Combined with rumors of ongoing liquidation of detained protesters under the cover of night, reports of the return for Muhammad Al-Khouli, Ali Douba and Nayeh El-‘Aqel, figures who took part in shaping the tragic events in 1980s, to the scene in Syria seem designed to send a message to the protesters that Assad is preparing for a major crackdown. Is this true? Or is all this part of a new psyop? Who knows? Protesters will have to keep going, and their supporter abroad will have to keep reporting and monitoring irrespective of the veracity of these reports. Peace under Assad rule is far worse than any massacre perpetrated by his ilk. Had people not reached this conclusion, we would never have had a revolution.
Meanwhile, Al-Jazeerah just announced the formation of the High Council for the Syrian Revolution made up of known protest leaders from around the country, many named clearly, while others used their pseudonyms, and two have in the last few weeks moved out of Syria such as Mutei Al-Bateen (Deraa) and Imadeddine Rasheed (Quneitrah). The founders said that the HCSR is meant to form the nucleus of a transitional council, and already several demonstrations around the country carried banners supporting its formation.

Hama Attorney General Adnan Bakkour confirms he survived an assassination attempt with minor injuries during an attack on his hideout in Ma’arrat Hourma on September 3. Three revolutionaries died while protecting Mr. Bakkour. Revolutionaries had tried to spread rumors to the effect that Bakkour had already crossed into Turkey, but the authorities were not fooled. Mr. Bakkour, the highest ranking civilian defector to date, remains on the run somewhere inside the Idlib Province. The manhunt continues with a new foray into the city of Khan Shaikhoon that left a number of fatalities among local residents.

This leaked video from Rastan in Homs Province shows the random shelling of the city that took place during Ramadan http://youtu.be/a9UXuEm1BeU
This leaked clip shows how Assad’s loyalists get brainwashed. They are made to repeat this slogan “We are the monsters of the land, the eagles of the air, the men of death, special forces, special forces, our souls, our blood to be sacrificed for Bashar. God, Syria, Bashar and nothing more.” The speaker then tells them how protesters mutilate corpses and that they are not Muslims http://youtu.be/cca1ktHPC6Y Army troops are not allowed to access any channel or media outlets except Syrian TV, Dounia TV and other loyalist networks and publications. The first real test these soldiers face comes when they are told to shoot at unarmed protesters. Bits of the truth also seep in through contact with family members, and or course, the occasional sneak peek at satellite networks and independent radio broadcasts.
