UPDATE: It is now confirmed that former president Assad is in Russia and has been granted asylum by the Russian government.
Damascus has been overrun by Jihadist fighters according to all sources in the middle east. Unverified reports say President Assad and senior members of his government have fled to Dubai or elsewhere but the situation overnight is fluid and there are conflicting reports of the likely destination of Syria's leadership.
Some say Assad may be in Latakia on the coast, or headed there, others claim he is headed for Russia. Another the deposed president was in a plane that was shot down en route to Iran and Assad was killed in the crash. What is clear, however, is that the jihadists have entered the heart of the capital.
"Syrian rebel sources tell Al Jazeera Arabic that government forces have
withdrawn from the Defence Ministry headquarters in Damascus," the
report further indicates. State TV channels are in the hands of the
anti-Assad factions.
Unverified social media reports further say that anti-Assad forces, a rag bag army of religious fanatics and Marxist extremists under the leadership of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), but held together only by their hatred of Assad anf the west, have
essentially been able to walk into suburban or countryside areas of the
capital with no resistance. Again, what points to the likely reality of a
secret deal which allows Assad's safe exit and that of his top
officials is the fact that all of this has happened with little bloodshed.
It is this latter point which makes us Boggart Bloggers, nasty old Sceptics that we are, suspect that all may not be as it seems to be. Firstly, although the civil war in Syria has been going on since 2011, it has recently been confined to minor skirmishes in the more remote parts of the country; second, the speed of the collapse and the fact that the regimes military forces did not put op any kind of a fight invites questions; third, the timing of this sudden uprising which as previously is the work of rebel groups backed by the USA and NATO, just as Ukraine, the protagonist in another of America's proxy wars seems ready to throw in the towel. All this makes us suspect that rather than Assad's allies, Russia, China and Iran abandoning him, some kind of deal has been done. What that may be we cannot yet know, but rather than its being turned into a NATO friendly Islamic power in the east Mediteranean we bear it may become another Afghanistan.
The fall of Syria's government brings to an end the last secular
and Baathist state in the Middle East after 50+ years of Assad family
rule. Whatever happens next, it is becoming clear that the Baathist Syrian
state under the Assad family, which goes back to 1970 when Hafez Assad
first emerged in power, will never be the same again. More concerning is what will happen in the Midanddle East now.
Many Christian, Alawite, and Shi'ite families in
the capital area are fleeing to the Lebanese border, not waiting around
to take their chances under Taliban-style rule, despite dubious claims that HTS plans to respect 'diversity' and pluralism. One can only pity the people of Syria who cannot get out when we recall the way the Yazidi, Druze, Syriac Christians, Syrian Jews and Shi'ite Muslims and in particular the women of those minorities were brutalised by the ISIS / Al Nusra forces in the last uprising, which was also sponsored by the US / NATO World Domination Club.
The fall of Syria bodes ill for the world. The dark vision of the
Jewish-American-English-Wahhabi axis is casting its ugly shadow on the
region. Intolerance, hate, war and ethnic cleansing are its offspring.
Backed by the western powers, this unholy alliance has destroyed all secularists in the Middle East to pave the way for
religious extremists. The followers of this cult need to foment those
sorts of conditions for certain self-made prophecies to come about, to
appease certain gods of war and death. And they will keep going, and
going and going. Until they meet REAL resistance. Not half baked
resistance.
The Salafits and Wahhabists will not rest until is wiped out. Once
that is done, it will not satiate their appetites. They will remain
unhappy, a hole in their souls will never be filled with love or light.
It is a black hole. They will turn on someone else to pulverize. People of Cyprus, Greece and The Balkans be warned. And more fool the leaderrs of nations further west for deluding themselves that they can cut deals with and control this monster they created to advance their agenda.
Like a cancer, they cannot stop on their own.
Someone else's military has to intervene. But now we have enough power
to destroy mankind within minutes. Every human now stands for this evil, or
they stand against it. The middle ground is thinning.

World War Three On Again? Syria Warns Open-Ended US Military Presence ‘Act of Aggression’
The OPCW failed to include evidence on the Douma in its final report, so the resulting document is inherently compromised, an MIT professor said. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) claimed that gas was dropped from the sky on the Damascus suburb. It did not directly blame on the Syrian government, however.
The EU’s largest nation and most powerful economy, which righteously lecturs other EU member states on the need to take refugees and asylum seekers, is taking in fewer Yazidi refugees, according to a German newspaper report. The religious minority was terrorized by the “Islamic State” during the militant group’s campaign in Iraq and Syria and hundreds, possibly thousands of Yazidi women were raped and used as sex slaves by IsIS terrorists.Trump Threatens Putin, Assad Over Alleged Syrian "Chemical Attack"; Russia Warns Of "Grave" Response If US Launches Strike
Or when earlier this year, now former Secretary of State Tillerson blamed Russia for an Alleged Syrian chemical attack despite admitting he doesn't know who actually did it?
Or when the US finally admitted there was "no evidence" Assad used sarin gas?
Or just last week, when Trump said that the US is finally pulling out of Syria as a result of the defeat of ISIS (much to the Pantagon's fury and open-ended timetable for extracting Syrian resources)?
US war preparations foreign policy - now that war hawk John Bolton is Trump's National Security Advisor - are so stuck with the age-old narrative that Assad is so desperate to be bombed at any cost he used illegal weapons on his own people even when his troops have defeated ISIS, the US backed regime change operation and are now mopping up the last pockets of resistasnce.
Bureaucrats, Politicians and media talking heads who have consistently supported military intervention in Syria, and championed Obama's stated aim, that the priority was not to defeat ISIS terrorists but to remove the Assad rgime have gone apeshit following the collapse of the rebels final strongholds.

Last April the US fired 59 Tomahawk missiles on Syria, in ostensibly in retaliation for an alleged chemical attack by the Assad regime on its own people. It was later confirmed by United Nations officials in Syria that there was no evidence to suggest the Assad regime was responsible, in fact such evidence as existed pointed to terrorist groups funded, armed and trained by the USA were responsible.
The independent inspectors commissioned by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) will probably take several months to publish their final report on the alleged gas attack in Douma (an attack for which journalists and other independent parties have failed to find evidence),
On February 16 Bloomberg published an article headlined: “Don’t Be Fooled: Russia Attacked U.S. Troops in Syria.” It was the start of the latest Russophobic shitstorm unleashed by the ‘liberals’ of mainstrteam media and social media in the USA against Russia.

Free - thinkers and people who have a healthy disrespect for authority have known this kind of thing has been going on for decades, in fact we UK taxpayers have stuffed the Swisss bank accounts of extremists for decades with shitloads of our cash. Now it seems US citizens, usually more trusting than we Europeans, are waking up to the fact that Washington has been buying influence in the third world with their cash.
In a move that exposes exactly where the push to global conflict is being driven from, Turkish media has exposed a plan by five nations to divide Syria into two separate states. The Turkish-language newspaper Star Daily on Monday carried the shocking report that representatives of the USA, Britain, France, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, in secret meeting on Syria held in Washington decided the future of Syria.
The airstrikes by a US led coalition that killed many Syrian soldiers fighting for the legitimate government of Bashar al Assad against the terrorist forces of ISIS has raised the level of hostile rhetoric between the USA / NATO coalition and the Russia / China / Iran alliance. The likelihood of war seemed to have receded through the summer, after it seemed possible early this year, that one stray shell or bullet could spread the war beyond the middle east.
After an amazing outburst from the delusional Brack Obama left the United Nations General Assembly in stunned silence because Obama has accused Russia and China of all the recent breaches of international law of which the USA is demonstably guilty, the propaganda departments of western governments seem to have totally lost their grip on reality.Evacuation of thousands of civilians from Ghouta unveiled the false propaganda of states that shed crocodile tears for them
Never mind who are the good guys and how evil Assad is, what the west is doing in the middle east and Africa is a new imperialism, disguised are philanthropy and expansion of trade. So far however, the US led regime change interventions in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine have been less than successful, so why are our leaders looking for new wars.

As U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson presented the Trump administration’s plns for the "open-ended military presence" in Syria, the government of President Bashar Al-Assad warned that the continuing presence of U.S. soldiers in the country is an act of “aggression” which would not be tolerated. Unfortunately for the Americans Vladimir Putin agrees.
