🚨🇸🇾 MASSACRE IN SYRIA: ALAWITES HUNTED IN POST-ASSAD VIOLENCE

Syria is witnessing its bloodiest days since Assad’s fall.

Hundreds of Alawites have been killed in the past few days as fighters loyal to the fallen regime clash with the new Islamist government.

For decades, the Alawite minority—just 12% of the population—was the backbone of Assad’s rule, dominating the military, intelligence, and government. Many saw his leadership as their shield in a Sunni-majority country.

Now, with Assad gone, they are facing a violent reckoning.

Reports of mass executions, kidnappings, and entire villages being wiped out in Latakia and Homs suggest a full-scale purge is underway.

Assad loyalists, fearing they will be exterminated, are taking up arms in what they call a fight for survival.

Their opponents argue this is the dismantling of an oppressive regime and a necessary step toward stability.

But with Alawite civilians—including women and children—being slaughtered in the crossfire, the line between justice and revenge is blurring fast.

Colombia’s president blasted Trump, accusing him of imperial arrogance and economic aggression.

He reminisced about watching street fights in Washington, praised American thinkers like Whitman and Chomsky, and invoked Colombia’s revolutionary past: “I am Aureliano Buendía, perhaps the last.”

Slavery, oil greed, and economic blockades? He vowed resistance: “You may overthrow me, but the Americas will respond.”

Colombia, he declared, is turning away from the U.S.: “We are open to the world, builders of freedom.”

His final shot? Slapping a 50% tariff on U.S. goods in retaliation.

🚨🇸🇾EX-ASSAD OFFICER POSES AS PRISONER, VANISHES INTO THIN AIR

Salama Mohammad Salama, a former Assad regime enforcer, has mysteriously disappeared after fooling CNN into thinking he was a helpless civilian prisoner.

Found in a Damascus jail claiming to be “Adel Gharbal,” a father locked away for months, Salama played the part—until fact-checkers unmasked him as an Assad intelligence officer notorious for torture and extortion in Homs.

Facial recognition nailed Salama as a 99% match to photos of an officer in military uniform.

Locals backed it up, describing him as a ruthless figure running abusive checkpoints.

Ironically, Salama wasn’t locked up for his crimes but over a petty money spat with a superior—and had been jailed for less than a month.

Now, Salama is missing, leaving critics to wonder how someone so infamous vanished after being globally exposed.

While CNN scrambles to explain how they got duped, Salama might be laughing from a new hideout—free of both accountability and the cameras.

Remember the CNN video of Clarissa Ward supposedly rescuing a Syrian named "Adel Gharbal", claiming he was arrested & hadn’t seen the daylight for 3 months?

➡️ Well, the CNN story was fabricated.

According to a research, they found out that the real name of the man is "Salama Mohammad Salama”. Salama, known as "Abu Hamza," was a rogue officer notorious for his activities in Homs. The residents of the Al-Bayyada neighborhood identified him as frequently stationed at a checkpoint in the area’s western entrance, infamous for asking bribes etc.

Clarissa is the same CNN journalist who amplified the fake claim of the 40 beheaded babies by Hamas, she also amplified the claim that Hamas “misfired” a rocket killing hundreds of Palestinians in a Gaza hospital back in 17th of October, 2023.

Had Hezbollah didn’t get involved in Syria, the pager attack would not have occurred, the security breach would not have happened, and the party would not have lost its first-line leadership or the support of many Sunnis it had gained after 2006.

NOAM CHOMSKY SLAMS LITERARY THEORY

His take on what he sees as pseudo-intellectualism in postmodern literary theory suggests the imitation game in academia is more about appearing smart than actually advancing knowledge or understanding:

“I mean, suppose you're a literary scholar at some elite university or an anthropologist or whatever. If you do your work seriously, that's fine, but you don't get any big prizes for it. 

On the other hand, you take a look over at the rest of the university, and you got these guys in the physics department and the math department, and they have all kinds of complicated theories.

They have big words, we'll have big words. They draw far-reaching conclusions; we'll draw far-reaching conclusions. We're just as prestigious as they are.”

🇸🇾 SYRIA: HIDDEN CELLS FOUND IN SAYDNAYA PRISON, 100,000 MAY BE TRAPPED

Rebel forces have reportedly uncovered underground cells at Syria’s notorious Saydnaya prison, where more than 100,000 detainees remain trapped, some near suffocation due to poor ventilation.

Emergency teams, guided by former prison workers, are working to open electronic doors while efforts to free prisoners continue.

Disturbing video reportedly shows captives, including women and children, emerging into freedom after years of torture, starvation, and executions.

Saydnaya, described by Amnesty as a "human slaughterhouse," symbolizes the darkest abuses of Assad's rule.

The fall of the regime has sparked a massive release of detainees, with over 3,500 freed in Homs and thousands more across Syria.

🚨🇸🇾 SYRIA AFTER ASSAD: LOYALISTS LEFT ASKING, ‘THAT’S IT?’

Bashar al-Assad’s regime collapsed faster than a bad Wi-Fi connection, leaving Syria’s Alawite community—once his biggest backers—shocked.

Years of sacrifice, countless funerals, and no last-ditch defense?

Alawite Community Member, Mohsen:

"I know for a fact that there were many men who would have been willing to fight if they were called upon by the president, but that did not happen.

Instead, we see withdrawals everywhere.

It's strange."

In Latakia and Tartous, protesters knocked down Hafez al-Assad’s statues like they were overdue for demolition, with no bloodshed following.

In Homs, rebels avoided violence, further deflating fears of apocalyptic sectarian revenge.

Still, with extremist groups lurking, cautious optimism is the mood—for now.
