Dear friends
across the USA,
 1,000 children have been killed in the Syrian violence, and diplomacy is failing. But the US could take an action to stop the flow of arms to Syria right now -- cancel a $1 billion contract with the company supplying the weapons to the Syrian military. The government and the arms dealer are both attending an arms fair in Paris right now. Click to sign the urgent petition to President Obama now!  |
1,000 children have been killed in the Syrian
violence, but if we can get the US government to act in the next 24 hours, we
could stop the flow of weapons to the regime and end these massacres.
The Pentagon recently signed a $1 billion contract with the same company that supplies weapons to the deadly Syrian military. The US can cancel the contract at any time. The US has already persuaded the company to stop light weapons sales to Syria. Right now, the US and the Russian company are in Paris -- if we can build up the pressure on our government to speak out, Rosoboronexport could be forced to cut Syria's arms supply completely.
Click here to sign the urgent petition to the government to get Russia to stop dealing death to Syria and tell everyone -- our call will be delivered to the delegates tomorrow at the arms fair in Paris:

International political solutions are failing to stop the bloodshed in Syria -- the world was stunned by the brutal al-Houla massacre where 49 children were executed, and last week there was another mass killing. Why? Assad is protected by his old friend Russia, which has blocked international action while profiting in arms sales -- Rosoboronexport is Russia's biggest arms dealer bringing the government billions in revenue per year.
President Assad is only clinging to power through military might and sowing fear. If the US can convince Russia that supporting the Syrian regime is not worth it, and end arms sales to Assad, his killing arsenal will wane and his command will slip away.
The US has led efforts to stop the violence, and a group of US Senators is right now calling on the Pentagon to cancel a massive helicopter contract with Rosoboronexport. If they get massive public support to push this through, the US pressure on Russia will grow and Russia would reconsider weapons and sales and suppprt for the regime.
Rosoboronexport could be held legally responsible for war crimes for sending weapons to the Syrian regime, but due to huge profits they continue their bloody business as usual. Diplomatic pressure is mounting on Russia right now, but it is this financial threat that could be the deciding card. We have to act now and make sure the US speaks out this week in Paris. Click to call our government to stop Russia’s deadly deals now and forward to everyone:

Over the past year, Avaaz members have supported the Syrian Spring and an end to the violence -- we have broken the blackout, exposed hidden atrocities and provided critical lifelines to Syrians under siege. Now, let's do all we can to cut off the weapons at the source that are killing the Syrian people.
With hope and determination,

*Avaaz,in this case,is wrong.** Zionists using three-track strategy to destroy Syria: Analyst. Posted Sun, 10 June. A political analyst says Zionists are pursuing a three-track strategy of “labyrinthine madness” to topple the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and destroy Syria. “A politically incorrect wave of labyrin-thine madness,is casting its heavy shadow over Syria,as the country is being surrounded left and right by Zionist plots thickening beyond control,” wrote Dr. Ismail Salami,author and political commentator,in an article published on the Global Research website.

http://www.davidicke.com/headlines/67459-zionists-using-three-track-strategy-to-destroy-syria-analyst***** Israel Formulates Tripartite Plot, to Destroy Syria.- by Dr. Ismail Salami - Written,2012-06-04..(...)Select parts of Assad’s speech translated by Amal Saad-Ghorayeb: http://resistance-episteme.tumblr.com/post/24355919856/my-translation-of-select-parts-of-assads-speech-today).To a world contaminated by the lies and deception the media help promote,Assad seems to be seen themain culprit in the massacre,although
unspeakable reports from eyewitnesses atthe sce-
ne of the crime,testify to realities,which could be painful to the ears and the hearts. A witness to the May 25 carnage in Houla,says armed groups raped women before killing them and the chil-dren.“They (armed groups) burned houses and kil-led people by the families because they were loyal to the (Syrian) government.[They] raped the women and killed the children”(Global Research,June 1, 2012).Another witness said the armed groups “used the women and children as human shields, and continued firing” at Syrian forces.In a statement issued on May 29, Rupert Colville, spokesman for the UN high commissioner for human rights,said a “substantial part” of the Houla killings, was “summary executions of civilians, women and children.” Unfortunately, Arab puppet regimes,such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar are fanning the flames of crisis in Syria, and playing in the hands of Washington to serve the interests ofIsrael.For instance,Saudi Arabia is brutally critical of Syria, and ironically talks of democracy and popular uprising in Syria, while at the same time,the regime sup-ports the Bahraini dictatorship,and even sends men to crush the popular uprising there. Qatar's prime minister,Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, called on the international community in Oslo, the Norwegian capital,to provide arms to Syrian rebels.These two countries and some other Per-sian Gulf nations,also made a promise of mil-lions of dollars in aid and equipment to the rebels,in order to step up the fight against the regime of Bashar Assad (The National,April 2, 2012).//In the intricate grand scheme taking shape in Syria,Israel certainly plays a furti-vely guileful role.Influential Zionist parties are instrumental in steering the unrest,into a direction most debilitating to the government of Bashar Assad.Prominent among these Zionists is Haim Saban,an Egyptian born Israeli-American media mogul who serves as a political power broker. ....(...)

If THE UNITED STATES, INC. is Bankrupt then how are the Allowed to still make contracts to foreign companies to KILL foreigners?
I see it as when the Military sits down with the Cabal to sign the Agreement it will be a MASS MURDER on the Good guys as Most of them will be there.
SYRIAN CONFLICT THREATENS TO DEGENERATE INTO WORLD WAR. 11 JUNE 2012, Russian Warning Shots, by Thierry Meyssan.The nature of the Syrian crisis, has changed.The process of destabilization that was to open the path for legal military intervention by the Atlantic Alliance, has failed.Removing its mask, the United States has publicly announced the possibility of attacking Syria,without the approval of the Security Council, as it also did in Kosovo.Washington must be pretending not to have noticed that the Russia of Vladimir Putin is not that of Boris Yeltsin.After being assured of Chinese support,Moscow literally fired two warning shots in the direction of Washington.The continuing violations of international law by NATO and the GCC,threaten to unleash a global conflict.//VOLTAIRE NETWORK |DAMASCUS (SYRIA) |FRANÇAIS/french ESPAÑOL,ITALIANO,РУССКИЙ //During the celebration of the victory over Nazism,on 9 June 2012,President Putin emphasized the need for Russia to be ready for new sacrifice.//President Vladimir Putin began his third mandate under the sign of sovereignty,in the face of direct threats launched against the Russian Federation by the United States and NATO.Moscow has repeatedly denounced the expansion of NATO,the ins-tallation of military bases,the deployment of a missile shield on its borders,and the destruction of Li-bya and the destabilization of Syria.In the days following his inauguration,Mr.Putin reviewed the Russian military industrial sector,his armed forces and his treaty alliance system. [1]He pursued this course of action,while choosing to draw in Syria,a line in the sand,that must not be crossed.For Putin,NATO’s inva-sion of Libya was equivalent to the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Third Reich,and that ofSyria,should it occur,would be comparable to the invasion of Poland,that started WWII. Any interpretation that,what is currently happening in the Levant/M.E.,is the result of an internal dynamic of revolution/repression within Syria,is not only false but a distortion of the real stakes involved,and simply amounts to more political maneuvering.The Syrian crisis is first and foremost a further stage in the project of "remo-deling of the greater Middle East";a further attempt to destroy the "Axis of Resistance" and the first "war for gas" being played out [2].What is actually at stake in Syria is not whether Bashar al-Assad will be able to democratize the institutions he has inherited,or whether the Wahhabist monarchies of the Gulf will succeed in destroying the last secular regime in the region,and impose their sectarianism,but to determine the lines of separation between the emerging power blocs of NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) [3].Some of our readers will be startled to read the preceding phrase.Indeed, the Western and Gulf media have been hammering the point day after day ,that President El-Assad is a sectarian dictator working to the advantage of the Alawite minority, while the armedopposition to his authority,is portrayed as the incarnation of democratic pluralism.Just a glan-
ce at recent events is enough to belie this version. .... (...)http://www.voltairenet.org/Russian-Warning-Shots *************** http://www.voltairenet.org/en ...for more...
