What is lost in the discussion of the holocaust that is unfolding in Syria, is the suffering of the innocent Syrian people. Even with the conflict is just getting warmed up, an estimated 100,000 Syrians have been brutally murdered. These events are buried as a whisper in the mainstream media regarding this human tragedy.

Don’t make the mistake of looking for government to either care about or try to minimize the loss of life. The expression of humanity starts with you and me. There is no humanity in government and there never will be.

Today, we listened to president Obama tell the nation that he was going to approach Congress about attacking Syria. However, at the end of the day, Obama will still attack Syria because he, as I have pointed out, is being blackmailed by the bankers who are holding six Watergate type of events over his presidency (e.g. Benghazi) and he is compelled to save the Petrodollar by eradicating Syria and Iran.

Today, a responder to my website, a mother of two, from Syria, took me to task for not writing about the horrific plight of the Syrian people as a result of the criminal actions of the Obama administration on behalf of the bankers who have hijacked the American government.

In the following paragraphs, I will make her case to a national audience. She has called out all Americans for their insensitivity and she is 100% correct. Here are her words…

“I am Syrian and a mother. since about 2 years, this proxy war installed by the USA and her western, Turkish and Arab lackeys, is devastating my homeland and killing my people. I have lost several friends. Your mercenaries shot at me and I got wounded. Some days ago, my daughter, aged 15, said, it was better we’d die now rather than suffering the rest of our lifetime as she expects this war won’t end. What shall I say to her, at the eve of a huge war to come? That life can be nice, in case the greedy US-Imperialism would allow you to live? Can you really imagine how life is for a 15 years old teenager seeing bodies in the streets and destruction and displaced people and hearing the shells of the terrorists exploding and the cries of the wounded and the noise of grenades and shooting all day, 24/7?????”

I want all of you to pause for a moment and consider that if this woman was writing to us from Kansas City, would we feel her pain more intensely than we do for a Syrian woman writing to me on behalf of her family and fellow citizens who speak a different language and live thousands of miles away in a foreign culture?

What do we say to a mother when her child has given up hope for living a good life with such a dramatic expression of fatalism? What would you think if it were your child telling you that life has no hope or meaning, only suffering and that they would be better off dead? And the suffering that this15 year old daughter is experiencing is the direct result of the the actions of what can only be called war criminals and these war criminals would be the CIA, al-Qaeda and of course the Obama administration on behalf of the bankers that they serve.

I would also ask the American people who have debunked my ongoing assertions that the banker controlled Obama administration is supporting al-Qaeda in their overthrow attempt of Assad in the exact same manner as these same players did to Gaddafi in Libya, to reconsider their misinformed position. Even this Syrian mother knows who her enemies are even if we choose to bury our collective American heads in the sand and deny any responsibility for the criminal actions of our government.

This Syrian mother went on to say…

“…with all due respect, in all your words I do not see any concern about the lives of Syrian women, children and men which are threatened and taken away here by your mercenaries of al-Qaeda. Don’t we count? Are we worthless?”

If one goes back and reads the last three articles on my website, I have made repeated references to the Syrians that will be victimized by our imperialistic government in the ongoing and soon-to-be expanded war.

I responded to this Syrian mother and attempted to demonstrate my expressed concern for the Syrian people. The following excerpt from a recent article serves as an example of my response to these allegations.

“If war breaks out in Syria the best possible outcome will be the … approximately 2,000,000 innocent people will perish and the world will witness the installation of the Muslim Brotherhood as the new leaders in Syria…”   I have also written and spoken of the Syrian female reporter who was raped by a CIA, al-Qaeda backed rebel leader a few months ago…”

However, when I finished defending my sense of honor, I had to admit she was more right than she was wrong. I have done what most of us have done, we have written a clinical analysis of the situation along with our perceptions of the unfolding consequences resulting from Obama’s actions. But at the end of the day, I have not done nearly enough to call attention to the suffering of millions of innocent people who have absolutely nothing to do with what is happening to them. To the Syrian mother’s allegation, I have to plead guilty and I need to re-examine my priorities much more closely as do all Americans.

To this Syrian woman, I would say that the American people do not hate the Syrian people and that I and most of my countrymen ache over the suffering of the innocent Syrian people. However, we do not ache enough, or we in America would do something about the criminal actions of this administration.

In my response to this woman, I also told her that we in America do not know how to stop what is going on because our government has totally been hijacked by international bankers. The bankers want the Syrian pipeline. The bankers also want to occupy Syria, for strategic reasons, from which to bring down Iran for the sole purpose of Petrodollar preservation.

This woman also chastised my lack of overt support for Assad given the complexities of the situation.

And, please, Sir! do not name Assad that negatively, recognizing that even your CIA had to admit (and reported it) that he has the utter loyalty of about 70 percent of the Syrian people – how much support can Obama gain in the USA? So are we Syrians dumb to follow a ‘dictator’? No – we are united with our families, friends, our sons and husbands serving in our army to DEFEND our homeland. Every US-American would do the same if the USA was attacked. And we stand with our president as we realized he does his duty to defend his people. You do not need to be a fan of someone in order to be fair.

She has a point in that the Syrian people have no choice but to rally around Assad, if for no other reason, than to survive. And as I have said before, I hope Assad survives this crisis based upon principle alone. However, I think that everyone reading these words knows that Assad’s days, like Gaddafi, are numbered.

This woman is also correct in that Assad is preferable to Obama, whether we call the President a dictator or not.  And she is right, Assad should be judged in comparison to Obama.

This eyewitness to this tragedy went on to say…

“Apart from that, I am optimistic that we Syrians already have won the war against you – by all evidence of high moral, dignity and the persistent will to defend our nation. We Syrians show the world that  resistance against the Evil can work and in any case will help you to preserve your dignity.”

How can any reasonable person say that the Syrian people and Assad do not hold the moral high ground? For those who say that Assad released chemical weapons on his people, dig deeper, he did not.

If America had this woman’s resolve, we could rid ourselves of the banker controlled government who have perverted what it means to be an American. I am an American and I love my country, but I will not support these actions being perpetrated by psychopathic lunatics.

“…please just invest a minute to think about it as if all this would happen to you, your homeland, your family, your friends – what would you do?”
