DAMASCUS (SYRIA) 14
AUGUST 2018
Introduction (See

Henry
Kravis at the Davos Forum. Close
to John McCain, the founder of KKR is a member of the Council for Foreign
Relations and the Bilderberg Group (of which his wife is an administrator). He employs General David Petraeus (ex-director of the CIA)
with whom he organised the transfer of funds and weapons to Daesh. A
long-term friend of Emmanuel Macron, he secretly financed his electoral
campaign.
14 member states of the « Friends
of Syria » financed its destruction by the jihadists. But after they had
failed, none of them want to pay anything for its reconstruction. However, they had no problem supporting the states who offer refuge to
the Syrian refugees – given that, obviously, this was not a humanitarian
gesture, but a means of draining off Syria’s human resources.
Above all, they all hope to further
enrich themselves by masking their crime and by obtaining reconstruction
contracts.
On 7 and 8 August, meeting in Beirut, the United Nations
Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA),
estimated the minimal cost of reconstruction at
388 billion dollars. It should deliver a detailed report on the subject
in September. Already, aware that what that country experienced had very little to do with a « civil war », but rather with a
foreign aggression, it has announced the title of this report - Syria,
7 years at war. Meaning Syria, 7 years at war and not 7 years of war [1].
By comparison, Lebanon, whose
population is three times smaller, was only able to obtain 11 billion dollars
of international aid during the CEDRE conference last April.
The United States, which had been
planning the war against Syria since 2004, does not want to part with a
penny. According to the Trump administration, this war
was created by the Bush Jr. administration and led by the Obama administration.
However, these two administrations were not serving the
interests of the US people, but those of a transnational financial class.
Not only did they destroy Syria, but also the US economy. Thus it is not for Washington to pay, but these people and
the transnational corporations directly implicated in the war.
Trasnationals
For example, the United States investment fund and rival of
the Carlyle Group, Henry Kravis’ KKR (market value 150 billion dollars). It employs
General David Petraeus and transferred funds and
weapons to Al-Qaeda and Daesh [2].
Or Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota,
which furnished all of Daesh’s new vehicles (market
value 170 billion dollars) [3].
Or again, Caterpillar, the manufacturer
of construction machines, which sold to the jihadists the tunnel-building
machinery necessary for the construction of their underground
networks (market value 76 billion dollars). Not to mention the Franco-Swiss cement producer Lafarge-Holcim, which
produced 6 million tonnes of cement for the construction of their bunkers (market value 40 billion dollars) [4],
etc.
The engagement of these corporations in the implementation of Admiral Arthur Cebrowski’s plan to destroy
the states and societies of the Greater Middle East can probably be explained
by their certainty that they would thus gain access to the region’s natural
resources, under the protection of the Western armies.
Making the multinationals pay does not exclude obtaining damages from certain states like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar or
Turkey, which financed, or certain of whose citizens publicly financed the
jihadists.
If the Syrian Arab Republic can
gather the proof of their role during the war, it will be legally entitled to
demand seizure before the tribunals of the country accommodating their
headquarters. In the light of President Trump’s arguments, it should be
possible for them to count on the support of the new US administration.
It is therefore possible, even without managing to make the
states pay, to collect the 388 billion dollars mentioned by the ESCWA.
Àt the end of all wars which called
for the payment of damages, national companies were seized. The novelty this
time will be drawing the conclusions of economic globalisation and seizing the
transnationals.
