This be a long article---10 pages or so--- by
François Belliot
The title of the article be----- Christians of Syria: the organized lie of
the French media.
It speaks of the ways that the media is
supressing what is really happening in Syria by a select group, and how an
Italian jesuit priest, who lived in Syria for 30 years, is able to direct the
propaganda of Bashar al Asaad being an evil dictator killing his people, just
by the way of silencing those who know by saying they were like those of the
holocaust deniers, and like those who persecuted the jews.
How the average person in the western
countries are being lied to by the relayed propaganda of all the major media,
but this article deals mainly with the French media, as this is where the
action occurs. François Belliot writes of how the lies are propagated by
slanderous statements. He calls it the deceitful commercial NATO media.
It be very interesting how someone can be
projected in the media in an directed end to attain. Those who take the stand
to oppose, or to voice a different argument opposite to the standard that be
projected, are met with the statements to make them seem like a crazy person
not to be listened, as they just be likened to a holocaust denier, which also
be relayed into the media.

Some highlights:
In this second his study, François Belliot
shows how the French press handed over almost exclusively to an Italian
priest to denounce the " regime of Bashar ", even when the totality
of the bishops and Christian Patriarches of Syria supports him. It is of
course only about an example of the media bias in the countries of the NATO,
this priest having identically been invited to North America and to Europe.
The Christian press did not escape the colonial game, its journalists being
the same that those of the profane organs.
<.............................>
We can also point the magnifying glass at certain
characters put forward in the commercial media. The propaganda to be credible
leans on witnesses of choice, often minority in the camp which they are
supposed to represent. In comparison, other persons, often more numerous and
more representative, are systematically pushed aside from sets, even
slandered without they have the possibility of defending themselve in the
media.
<............................>
The case of father Paolo Dall' Oglio, supposed
to represent the point of view of the Christians of Syria, omnipresent in the
big commercial media in the last autumn, and again in this May 2013, unlike
other more representative personalities, allows to demonstrate in a
irrefutable way that the treatment of the Syrian crisis by the commercial
NATO media is almost entirely deceitful and directed.

I walked in the "International
Village" of the Festival of Humanity, I had entered, curious, into a
"Syrian" exhibition stand. It was a group of people supporting the
official version of NATO and al-Jazeera. They called for mobilization against
Bashar al-Assad, invoked the duties of the "international
community," the necessity for "right of humanitarian
intervention." Four speakers had followed one another in the interval of
40 minutes. At the end of this common platform, I took the floor (we were
hardly numerous, and a booth next to us had a loud sound), to challenge their
view of the situation, which left untold the fact that horrific massacres
were perpetrated by fanatical mercenaries funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia
and logistically supported by NATO and allied intelligence services. The
reaction of the tenants of the exhibition stand was expressive: first time
one of them took me gently by the arm and asked me to leave. As I protested
the procedure, they had me faced with a "militant of the FSA" which
during 10 minutes had re-drummed into me the official version. I had not
unfortunately being able to answer him in a developed manner. While I
patiently listened to his speech, I could not, in response, say more than
three sentences. A chorus of boos was ignited. Some people had felt the need
to interrupt me, visibly moved and out of reason. Feeling that it would be
difficult for me to express myself, I had left, loudly accompanied by a song
they had suddenly started to sing in chorus and at the top of the voice.

Christians of Syria: The Organized Lie of The
French Media
by François Belliot
In this his second study François Belliot
shows how the French press gave the floor almost exclusively to an Italian
priest to denounce "Bashar", even though all the Christian bishops
and patriarchs of Syria supports him. It is of course an example of media
bias in the NATO countries, the priest has been invited identically to North
America and Europe. Christian press has not escaped the colonial game, its
journalists are the same as those of profane organs.
......................
It exist many ways to show that Syria is the
victim since two years of intense propaganda campaign to persuade the Nato
opinion of the need to arm the opposition and overthrow Bashar al-Assad,
"the ignoble dictator-that-torture-and-killing-his-own-people ". We
can evoke the sham that is the alleged Syrian Observatory of Human Rights
(OSDH), we can report stories that go in the opposite direction to the
official version, you can go back in history and see that the current
destabilization of Syria from abroad is in a very old dynamic (Sykes-Picot,
1916) that the current crisis is only the last step, we can make a comparison
with other propaganda campaigns that led to reversals of Heads of State on
the basis of false evidence (Saddam Hussein, Muammar al-Gaddafi), we can
evoke the game of alliances of Syria with Hezbollah and Iran, which
interferes with Israel's expansionist ambitions and itself opposed to the
remodeling plan by the United States of the widened “Middle East", we
can highlight the oil and gas interests in the region, which make Syria all
the more covetable that its fossil energy resources remain largely to
exploit.
You can also point the magnifying glass on
some of the characters highlighted in the commercial media. The propaganda to
be credible leans on witnesses of choice, often the minority in the camp they
are supposed to represent. In comparison, other people tending to be larger
and more representative, are systematically excluded from the stage or
defamed without having the opportunity to defend themselves in the open
media.
The case of Father Paolo Dall'Oglio, supposed
to represent the views of Christians in Syria, omnipresent in the big
commercial media in the last autumn, and again in this May 2013, unlike other
more representative personalities, allows to demonstrate in a irrefutable way
that the treatment of the Syrian crisis by the commercial NATO media is
almost entirely deceitful and directed.
The story I will tell begins with a conference
in Paris last September.
September 25 was held in the ballroom of the
Town Hall of the twentieth district of Paris, a conference entitled
"Perspectives on Syria." It featured a single speaker, Father Paolo
Dall'Oglio. It was scheduled to last two hours, one hour of speech for the
father Paolo followed by an hour of discussion with the audience.
Accustomed for months to spend every morning
in front of this city hall, I had necessarily noticed an immense banner which
covered the facade, and which called by a biased way to the end of the
massacres in Syria. The mayoress of the XXth district, Frédérique Calandra
had obviously chosen her camp: that of the "opposition", against
that of the "regime of Bashar el Assad ".
I knew more or less what to expect when I went
to this event, but it was still a good opportunity to hear from someone who
had lived long in Syria and that could give the point of view of a direct
witness confirming the official version.
I had never heard of Father Paolo Dall'Oglio.
His name had escaped me in the flow of daily news on Syria, and the
independent media there, themselves had paid little attention.
The community hall of the town hall of the
twentieth was very busy, 300 people by quesswork. Strictly speaking it was
not a conference, but a game of questions and answers between a journalist
and father Paolo. There was therefore no "Viewpoints", as suggested
in the title of the conference, but the "view" of the father Paolo,
who was not afflicted with any esotropia. The journalist is completely
committed to the cause of the father, there was no opponent in the
"crossover".
I began to take notes. The room was poorly
soundproofed and father Paolo, in addition to express himself in a sometimes
uncertain French was hard to follow in his presentation. He paid tribute to
the Tunisian Revolution and the Egyptian revolution, more generally, the Arab
Spring, in which naturally formed part, according to him, the Syrian
revolution. He insisted on the systematic practice of torture and
imprisonment of opponents by the "regime of Bashar al-Assad”. He
congratulated himself on having in June 2011 sounded the alarm: "the
regime" was built entirely on lies, that was part of its DNA.
Twice he compared those who questioned the official version of the Syrian
revolution to those who questioned the official version of the genocide of
the Jews, and he likened to Holocaust denial and a disease of the mind. He
explained that the denial of the official version was due to the extreme left
and extreme right forces, coalition for the occasion. He castigated the role
of Russia, which put regularly vetos in UN Resolutions against Syria, because
she wrongly thought of having been fooled on the Libyan affair, previous
year, and on the Kosovo affair, a few years ago.
He explained, although he is a priest and by
religous nature opposed to the use of force, although it was however
necessary to arm the rebels (by not making a mistake on the recepients) and
that there was a duty of intervention to intervene in Syria.
He paid a diatribe on the Voltaire Network, he seemed to hold (since it is
the only independent press which he named) for the principle responsible for
the disinformation campaign on Syria, he denied absolutely fact that there
could be an alliance between Qatar, Saudi Arabia, France and the United
Kingdom (I add Turkey and Jordan that he omitted in his list), to destabilize
Syria. And if the UN could not solve the problem ... it was a plot theory
circulated by "the regime" to hide its abuses, it became urgent to
"disregard international law."
To be fair, the journalist dared to ask a
crucial question: how he, a Christian priest what's more, could he call to
arm the opposition? Was this not a fundamental contradiction? A member of the
public relayed this concern. This question was asked in the preamble, and the
father Paolo replied with some of the arguments that I have listed. I pass
over the question and answer session that followed. They were for the most
part extremely consensual, and much in the same vein more persuasive than
convincing than Father Paolo had used.
I remember in particular a lady exploding on a hysterical tone: "What
are you waiting for? The gas chambers? Christ was the first martyr! There are
thousands of Christs in Syria!" She had without doubt read the
disinformation chronicle of Carolina Fourest in the edition of the Monde
February 25, 2012, suggesting that Iran had provided a crematorium furnace in
Syria that "would turn already at full speed" in the region of Aleppo.
The only little dissent question was asked by
a woman who pointed to the eventual responsibility of foreign powers in
destabilizing Syria. She was able to express herself but was the only one
that is urged to give back the microphone as she unfolded her speech. She was
mocked by father Paolo, without any argument, accused of practicing
hodge-podge, while he himself had done just that during his speech.
When the conference was over, I found the
Syrians challenging the official version, I had the opportunity to meet some
at various events and we met for a drink in a brewery of the Gambetta Place.
I inquired about the personnage and they made
me a short presentation, which I supplement with certain useful details:
Paolo Dall'Oglio is a religious Italian Jesuit
born in Rome in 1954. After passing through Lebanon in 1982, he discovered
the Deir Mar Musa monastery in Syria and decided to devote his life to its
restoration. In 1992 he founded a joint ecumenical religious community that
promotes Christian-Muslim dialogue. In line with this approach, he published,
in 2009, Lovers of Islam, believing in Jesus. When the troubles began in
early 2011, he takes a stand with the opposition, going as far as asking
publicly that we supply them weapons.
In June 2012, at the request of all the
churches of Syria and the government, his visa was not renewed and he must
leave the country. Since then, the man was very heavily reflected in
commercial mass media (New York Times, Le Figaro, etc..) And was received by
the highest authorities of various states involved in the conflict on the
side of Saudi Arabia , Qatar and Turkey.
There each then went of his story, involving
either his personal experience in France or in Syria, is one aspect of the
conference.
One of the Syrians had informed me he had
raised his hand to ask a question (that inevitably would not go in the
direction of the organizers of the conference), and then he was shown of the
finger by one of the organizers, with a prohibited sign. The man was
intervened in similar circumstances and had been identified as an annoying
protestor of the single official thinking, that they should accordinly
contain or silence. Instruction was so giving to prevent him to speak.
Then I remembered that this was not the first
time I was confronted with this kind of censorship, and I reported what had
happened at the Festival of Humanity.
I walked in the "International
Village" of the Festival of Humanity, I had entered, curious, into a
"Syrian" exhibition stand. It was a group of people supporting the
official version of NATO and al-Jazeera. They called for mobilization against
Bashar al-Assad, invoked the duties of the "international
community," the necessity for "right of humanitarian
intervention." Four speakers had followed one another in the interval of
40 minutes. At the end of this common platform, I took the floor (we were
hardly numerous, and a booth next to us had a loud sound), to challenge their
view of the situation, which left untold the fact that horrific massacres
were perpetrated by fanatical mercenaries funded by Qatar and Saudi Arabia
and logistically supported by NATO and allied intelligence services. The
reaction of the tenants of the exhibition stand was expressive: first time
one of them took me gently by the arm and asked me to leave. As I protested
the procedure, they had me faced with a "militant of the FSA" which
during 10 minutes had re-drummed into me the official version. I had not
unfortunately being able to answer him in a developed manner. While I
patiently listened to his speech, I could not, in response, say more than
three sentences. A chorus of boos was ignited. Some people had felt the need
to interrupt me, visibly moved and out of reason. Feeling that it would be
difficult for me to express myself, I had left, loudly accompanied by a song
they had suddenly started to sing in chorus and at the top of the voice.
The managers of this pavillion were none other
than the organizers of this conference on 29 September, named Suria Houria
(Freedom Syria). In the practice of censorship and disregard for freedom of
expression, we are dealing here with an undeniable consistency. Those people
who criticized the murderer regime, disinformers, who agonized of Voltaire
Network insults, of hodge-podge and unfounded accusations, that called
naively to the moral obligation of humanitarian intervention, to achieve
their ends, do not hesitate to sort public questions of their conferences,
and refused to debate with people who have a different point of view than
their own (while letting the hysterical reactions of the kind of woman I
reported above). And when they were obliged to respond, they immediately got
angry, made comparisons with the holocaust denial, cut off the speech, or
began to group intoning of chants.
I remember at one point in the Paolo
dall'Oglio conference, they felt to start the same song with which they had
celebrated my flight. However, they were no longer together and the
initiative was moved. Few followed (and understood) by the 300 assistants,
they were silent after a few syllables.
One must stop a little about this Suria Houria
association, which supports blindly, with minimal arguments and dubious
practices, the official version relayed by the corporate media. This
association since its inception in May 2011 of all actions and events
organized in France calling for the downfall of the regime. During a day of
support at Place de la Bourse, we heard one of its members at the stand
bragging that now they brewed millions. It was at the center of the "Train
to the freedom of the Syrian people," last December 12, that took French
citizens and parliamentarians in Paris to meet the European Parliament in
Strasbourg. It was at the heart of the rigged debate organized at the
Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) on February 24 in which a member of Suria
Houria hissed violently at a person who spoke to challenge the official
version. Finally, it is this association that is driving the "White Wave
for Syria" engine, "international event (launched) Friday, March 15
during the two years of the "Syrian revolution" that massively will
relay the usual organs of the propaganda NATO war: TV5 Monde, BFM TV, France
24, LCP, in partnership with Le Nouvel Observateur, Libération, Mediapart,
Rue89, Radio France.
The Suria Houria Association was founded in
May 2011 by Hala Kodmani, Franco-Syrian journalist who worked in France for
30 years and she has until recently held the presidency. Hala Kodmani was
editor of France 24 October 2006 to September 2008 and charged with the Syria
section at the newspaper Libération during much of the crisis in this country
for 2 years. But the central role she plays in the Syrian protest in France
was mainly due to the influence of her sister Bassma Kodmani, who
participated in the founding of the Syrian National Council launched in
October 2011 in Istanbul. Bassma Kodmani is considered the main
representative of U.S. interests in this organization. It is charming (apart
from the obvious conflicts of interest), ot notice that at the same time
where the opposition claimed that "Bashar has no right to be president
of Syria since he inherited power from his father !", the Kodmani
sisters (who represent strictly nothing for the Syrian people) do what they
denounce in word in itself distributing the family connection roles within
the "rebellion" in France.
The Syrians with whom I discussed, this place
Gambetta September 25, defending a position at odds with that of Suria Houria
and the government and the French media.
The discussion obviously opened on the situation
in Syria and our curious lecturer in his cassock. This man represents
nothing, as it was asserted to me. He does not represent in any way the
Christians of Syria, who mostly support (like the rest of the Syrian people)
the Assad government, and for good reason, with the Alawites, Christians from
the beginning of the conflict was a prime target for Islamist mercenaries.
They reported to me various abuses committed
by the mercenaries all the more horrible than some of the others and that
showed, at least, the presentation of the Syrian crisis by Father Paolo
Dall'Oglio was an illegitimate caricature and lacks any nuance. Given the
nature of these inspiring stories, it is easy to understand why we never hear
about in the corporate media. They were so strong and so numerous that the
propagation of comments even in passing would be a fatal blow to Nato
propaganda.
When I got home I decided to devote myself
more fully to the history of this curious priest, and I start on an internet
search.
There is little question of the father Paolo
dall'Oglio before his depature of Syria in June 2012, for non-renewal of
visas. We noted an article in the August 10, 2011 Pèlerin favorably entitled
« En Syrie la parole se libère » ("In Syria speech frees itself.").
Disorders agitate the country since the end of March. He has just published
with a dozen secular and religious Syrians an entitled contribution
"Consensual Democracy For National Unity," in which he called for
the putting in place of "a system to bring Syria into a parliamentary
democracy. Because democracy is the only way to put an end to the bloodshed
and uphold human rights, which are universal: all, we are from the East or
the West, we find ourselves in this humanist idea." The man does not
even call to “arm the opposition", but as some members of the group
openly call to "the fall of the regime", he is snubbed by the
authorities and the various Christian churches disapprove of his initiative.
January 8, 2012, Rue 89 published an article by Nadia Braendel entitled
"Mar Musa, a monastery took in the revolution." Father Paolo is
presented as an "icon of the protest." It is learned that the
father Paolo was able to stay in Syria despite an expulsion sent to the
bishop of Homs. He pledged not to take a political position. Ms. Braendel
nevertheless reports the following ambiguous comments: "An Arabic and
western peaceful intervention force will be needed maybe, because today there
are 100000 Syrians ready to kill, and 100000 who will take revenge. The two
camps are blocked." On 21 May 2012 the RMC.fr website published a
compacent article by Nicolas Ledain entitled "Syria: Religious Christian
making a resistance”. The journalist recounts the problems faced by the
religious of Mar Musa, threatened and looted by unidentified armed groups,
and closes his article by making a comparison with the situation of monks of
Tibhérine in 1996.
You can not even tell where the father Paolo
has a place in the coverage of events in Syria. It is his expulsion from
Syria the next month that will kick off an impressive media campaign in
several countries. This expulsion is recounted in Le Point of June 16. Very
bitter, Father Paolo said: "It is my body which left Syria."
As Paul in his time, Father Paolo takes his
missionary baton and funded we do not knowhow, began a series of trips to
NATO area (Europe and North America), during which he will dispense widely
the good word calling at the fall of the "regime" in Syria, where
arming if needed the opposition. I He takes a long tour that will take him to
the United States, Canada, Italy, France and Belgium. At each of these
passages, the testimony of Father Paolo been a massive and unanimously
laudatory media coverage.
I am mainly interested in the study to his
visit to France in September.
The start of this campaignis launched by our
Foreign Secretary personally. Invited to the Quai d'Orsay by Laurent Fabius,
our priest has the honor and the privilege to be able to hold a press
conference of 20 minutes in his company. It presents him as "a renowned
person" and "well informed", and after these laudatory
propulsions gives him the floor. Did the Father Paolo know it then that he
stood by the side of a man who had unduly expelled the Syrian ambassador
after the massacres of Hula, which have been corrupted by media lies? Did he
know that he was, him, the claimed "peace man", next to the one who
had called up one-month earlier, in a indirect way, in the murder of the
Syrian president, and who was going to bring his resolute support, on November
12th, in puppet Syrian national Coalition ( CNS) inaugurated at Doha, capital
of one of the most unegalitarian dictatorships of the world, Qatar? This
welcome spotlight launches the media campaign. The next day, 12 September
2012, he is interviewed on France Inter, and RTL by Yves Calvi, and articles
are dedicate to him in La Croix and Le Parisien.
On 24 September, two blogs in Le Monde and
Médiapart announce the holding of the conference in the village hall of the
Town Hall of the twentieth district of Paris. On September 25, the
International Mail published a long interview (now is no longer accessible on
the ConspiracyWatch site). On September 26, the free daily 20 Minutes
dedicate to him an article, and it is a long interview on France 24. On
September 27, the Express wrote an article in which he is presented as
"the conscience of the revolution”. September 28 it is Pélerin that
relays his positions calling for arming the opposition. On September 30, it
is a long interview by RFI.
We see that this media coverage concentrates
around two peaks: the press conference held in common with Laurent Fabius at
the Quai d'Orsay at the beginning of September, and its second passage in
France after a tour in Belgium which peaked on September 18th with the
meeting to the parliament of two vice-presidents of this institution : Gianni
Pittella and Isabelle Durant. It was on this occasion, September 29, he was
invited by the Suria Houria association to hold a conference in the village
hall of the Town Hall of the twentieth district of Paris.
As the media have the habit to give massive
coverage over several days to some events, and once the hype is effected,
they move on then, never more to speak, most people who follow the news in
the mainstream media have probably forgotten this unique window enjoyed by
Father Paolo. However, when we take stock of this coverage, it is clear that
around these dates, it was difficult to escape the character if you opened a
newspaper, turned on a radio station or television.
It should be added that he was very well
treated by the media. Not a false note (as in the discussion at the Arab
World Institute on February 24) in the chorus of praise and demonization of
Bashar al-Assad. And if some still show a little restraint, most take
everything he says at face value and to him benefit fully.
While I am finalizing this study, I discover
that father Paolo honors us with the third stay, so committed as the
precedents, and so massively covered by the big media. His adventures would
be incomplete if I omitted this new episode which consolidates my
demonstration.
The business never worked so well for the
father Paolo dall' Oglio. Since September 2012, he had time to hone and
sharpen his speech, but also to write a book of testimony about his
perception of events in Syria. This book, The Rage and the Light, co-authored
with Eglantine Gabaix-Halie and published by Editions de l'Atelier, is
obviously welcomed at this time by all major media which are scrambling again
to hear him spit venom and promote the masterpiece.
On May 1 he is interviewed on France info: on
May 2, along with Hala Kodmani on France Culture, May 3, by Armelle Charrier
on France 24, May 5, on France Inter, with Jean-Pierre and Filiu Fabrice
Weissman (two intervenants of the rigged debate IMA February 24), May 7, in
The Life by Henrik Lindell. On May 8th, the site Souria Houria publishes the
program of father Paolo dall' Oglio during this new stay in France. We learn
that the man began a tour through France: May 16 panel discussion at the Centre
Sèvres in Paris; on May 21 panel discussion organized in Lyon with
Hospitality Saint-Antoine, May 22 conference- debate in Nimes with Siloam
library; May 27 conference organized by Suria Houria in Paris on May 28 in
Strasbourg, meeting at the Kleber library. On May 9, Pèlerin makes appear the
interesting excerpts of his book testimony, a ccompanied by a idealized
portrait.
Really, the story of Father Paolo is a real
success story, although, as we shall see later, all Christian leaders in
Syria who dispute the official version are totally ignored or seriously
defamed, he in each of his visits is hosted by the major French media (known
as everyone knows for their integrity and independence) as the messiah, and
treated as such. They pull on the father Paolo, to the point that one wonders
if he has time to do his prayers.
This third passage in France confirms in a
sensational way the impression left by its first two stays in September,
2012.
Beyond the exceptional media coverage from
which benefited in each of his passages, is of the highest interest the
content of the speeches of father Paolo Dall' Oglio. If the man is often
vague and hard to follow, if we pay it attention we notice that his speech
articulates around a constant number of positions, that it defends every time
in the same way. To be more precise, his speech still remarkably glue to the
official version of the Western media of the NATO area.
Almost in each of his interventions, father
Paolo uses what Viktor Dedaj calls in an article of Grandsoir.info of July
10th, 2012 of " ideological tazzers ". An ideological tazzer is an
argument the function of which is to return any impossible debate by placing
his opponent in front of charges of such a gravity as they can strike him
psychically and make him disabled in the subsequent debate. In this case the
father Paolo never hesitates to wield supreme ideological Tazzer namely the
charge of holocaust denial and comparison with the official version of the
genocide of Jews during World War II, those who question the official version
of the bloody events of Syria (it is "Bashar" and his militiamen
who murder massively their own people by not hesitating to resort to the
dirtiest and the most reprehensible means), are the same that those who questioning
the official version of this event.
The Express so relates: "he evokes
confusedly the Voltaire network and the Christian or Muslim ecclesiastical
persons in charge who, according to him, give the religious word to the State
lie, deny the revolution and reduce it to a fact of security connected to the
terrorism. This is an incredible holocaust denial, he adds, which is the fact
of identity to the extreme right and anti-imperialist left. Those who denied
the Holocaust deny the Syrian revolution!" We find the same position in
the interview published in the Courrier International: "In the end, it
is not surprising that the lastest allies objective of the Syrian regime are
those who have always denied the genocide of the Jewish people, and today,
deny the revolution of the Syrian people." And La Libre Belgique:
"I also want to know why the proponents of European denial of the
Holocaust, from the extreme traditionalist Catholic, anti-imperialist and
anti-American, anti-capitalist and Stalinist allies to are now on the side of
the Syrian denial and are sensitive to the siren Agnes" (Sister
Agnes-Mariam of the Cross, I will talk about this member of a religious order
below). I also remember very well that the father Paolo had this comparison
at the conference on February 24 at the town hall of the twentieth, and a key
member of this association, when I was supposed to discuss with them the
Festival Humanity had used the same tazzer.
Father Paolo also seems to take advantage
because in our societies of the entertainment of Europe and North America,
exists the second ideological tazzer which can turn out to be very effective,
although by means of lies it tends to wear thin. Its propagated in the media
and, on the rebound, in the daily conversations goes back about to September
11 attacks, it is about the concept of plot theory. As compared with the
revisionists of Nuremberg is a charge that is usually uttered in order to cut
short any conversation, usually to prevent what would be to start. In support
of its comparison with the revisionists Nuremberg, Father Paolo expresses
frequently that those who doubt the media version of the events of Syria roam
lost in a labyrinth of lies and plots: We face a lie, according to which
there is no revolution, but Syria which defends itself against a Saudi,
Zionist or western plot, and fight against the Islamic terrorism. " We
speak about a big agreement between the United States, Israel, Al-Qaeda, the
salafis, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Arab League, with the aim of bringing
down the last Arab state which has not capitulated in front of the Zionist
project yet and did not give up fighting the imperialism... It is obvious
that at this level, it is difficult to discuss. "
The taking of positions of this kind abound,
for this point I restrict myself to these two quotes.
Extract Express quoted above already gives an
idea: Thierry Meyssan is a prime target of Father Paolo Dall'Oglio. If he
does not speak about it at each intervention, Thierry Meyssan and the
Voltaire Network are indeed one of the few people and one of the few
independent media that the priest called, and condemns and insults to show to
his public the archetype of the disgusting and reprehensible position, the
embodiment of the journalistic leading astray. Here's what he said in Le
Figaro: "This thesis is relayed in Europe by people like Thierry Meyssan
and his Voltaire Network, this factory with lies paid by I do not know much
that (note, we can return the question) ... This is a Holocaust denier who
lives in a virtual world." Or in La Libre Belgique: "Understanding
the denial mechanism against this revolution seems to me very important.
Voltaire Network is unequivocal and total paranoia. They are in the room of
power. They are part of the ideological structure and the crisis of the
regime. You must read interviews with Thierry Meyssan (note: the founder of
Voltaire Network) in Syrian newspapers. I hope that the end of the regime
will also be an end to him - not the physical end - but his end as a peddler
of state lies and denial.” We shall appreciate the ponderousness of style. At
the conference of 29 September, it was the same delivery to a diatribe
against Voltaire Network.
It is important to note, as this kind of
comparisons, Paolo dall'Oglio never underpins its anathemas of any fact or of
any argument. He calls names, incites hatred, sends to hell, then moves on,
sometimes jumping from one thing to another. In terms of media effectiveness,
efficiency of the process is well established. For over 10 years the Voltaire
Network is the most defamed France association. A long undermining was
diligently achieved by the big commercial media to it. Most French people
still do not take enough time to check the reliability of the information
provided by the media, have a very bad image (and absolutely unfounded, it is
needless to say) of Thierry Meyssan and Voltaire Network, who became like the
holocaust deniers of Nuremberg, the ultimate foils with which most people
fear as being the AIDS involved.
In the Gospel according to Luke (6/41-42)
reads "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, and you
do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42 Either how canst thou say
to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when
you yourself do not see the beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, first
take the plank out of your eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the
mote that is in thy brother's eye." Father Paolo constantly violates the
New Testament precept in his defense it may be a tree rather than a beam that
blocks his view. Or he sees perfectly clear, and is to the Christianity what
the French Socialists are to the values on the left.
His third visit to France forced me to update
my analysis. The few months that he spent outside France did not apparently
do good to father Paolo dall' Oglio, which now reaches summits in the
resentful ragings and denier frenzies.
In time the speech of father Paolo became more radical, as if, noticing the
boulevards which are opened to him by all the official media of the NATO
zone, the total impunity of which it benefits in the display of its lies, its
slanders, and its incitements in the hatred, he could allow everything itself
at the moment. Maybe also the man is furious of noticing that the on-the-spot
situation settles hardly, that this regime which he hates continues to hold,
what delays of so much his return to Mar Moussa.
Pursuing his crazy headlong rush, Father Paolo
now goes very, very far in taking his positions. Islamist mercenaries linked
to al Qaeda? "In my conversations with them, I recognized the men and
women who have a religious passion, a religious sentiment that I share. These
are people mad but loving justice. Collectively they feel persecuted,
attacked and denied. So they are in a hyper reactivity victimhood psychology
that leads them to commit crimes." The timidity of the positions taken
by the Catholic Church in Syria? “I would add that there is political
corruption, sexual, which is hiding behind the submission to power. This is
part of a system of co-optation by submission to an authoritarian
system." Christians who do not share his point of view? These are
"Islamophobic Christians." Can we talk to Assad? "Would you
have agreed to talk with Hitler in 1944?" What about terrorism in Syria?
"I propose to dispense with the word "terrorism”. You must use
"revolutionary." The possible use of chemical weapons by Assad
"How not to believe it? If anyone can send ballistic missiles which
remove one hectare of town, if someone can send bombs on the Syrian
population without qualms, why would there be a problem to use chemical
weapons?" He dares to say that, while it is now clear that fighters of
the Front al-Nosra used chemical weapons against Syrian civilians in a
village on the outskirts of Aleppo.
As I suggested it by introducing these
leitmotivs of his speeches and repartees, it is obvious that father Paolo
does not express a personal opinion there, but that obviously, he relays in a
systematic way copied elements of language stuck by the arguments of the
media of the NATO zone. He will never deviate, and I could go into much more
detail. The most significant indication of this coincidence seems to me this
finess with which our prelate, who takes care only of Syrian
business(affairs) for 30 years, relays the argument pointing the association
between extreme left and extreme right in the denunciation in the official
version hammered in NATO zone, which is a construction of the French
commercial media to compromise any little bit different point of view (this
famous myth of red-browns, popularized by "journalists" as Ornella
Guyet, and "intellectuals" as Bernard-Henry Levi)
It is remarkable that journalists providing
these interviews of convenience or were writing articles in his glory, often
took care to emphasize that the point of view of Father Paolo was very small,
that the Christians of Syria, mostly, do not want the overthrow of the regime
they saw as a bulwark against extremist mercenaries from abroad.
We could wonder then: if the opinion of father
Paolo was so minority, why he benefited from a so massive and "
diversified " media coverage, and it while no other testimony of member
of a religious order knowing well Syria, living there, or having lived there,
was ever reported.
Three explanations possible for this
extraordinary focus of the media on this character.
1.Father Paolo is one of the few lucid Syrian Christians. All others, as he
maintains, are poisoned by the propaganda of "the regime". The
media due to relay heavily and exclusively this testimony
2. Father Paolo is one of the least lucid
Christians of Syria. He understands nothing in what takes place on the spot,
but chose this trench position because of the immense bitterness that he
feels of having to leave a sacred place which he contributed to raise, and in
which he lived during 30 years.
3. Father Paolo dall' Oglio is completely
lucid; when he launches his deafening and slanderous statements, he knows
that he lies, he knows that his incitements in the hatred are unfounded and
that by uttering them he betrays Christ, he knows that his analysis of the
situation is false and directed, but for reasons which remain to clear up
(and probably not very catholic), it is the way of the lie and the hatred for
which he opted.
