Syria Goes Dark
Submitted by Pater Tenebrarum via Acting-Man blog,
Syria Then and Now
“Arab Spring” situations have an inexorable tendency to go pear-shaped (Tunisia, the first country to experience one is the lone exception, but even there the “old guard” is reportedly making a comeback, so the whole thing was essentially for nothing in the end). In Egypt, the revolution went from bringing an Islamist to power whose economic policies were either useless or were sabotaged by the organization that actually owns Egypt (the army controls 40% of the economy), back to someone who suspiciously looks like the old boss, with the only difference that he’s even worse. Nothing about the situation even remotely resembles democracy at this juncture. Getting jailed and tortured in Egypt and getting sentenced to death in mass show trials is once again par for the course.
Libya has disintegrated into a so-called “failed state” and is wracked by an ongoing civil war between the same factions that faced each other in Egypt: Islamists and the army, whereby in Libya there is also a dash of warlordism in play. The official government doesn’t even control the capital.
Syria however is arguably the worst case. The country, fought over by once again the very same types of factions (the army of a secular tinpot dicator and Islamists) has been rendered a pile of rubble in many places. We were reminded of a picture we have recently come across that illustrated this fact rather starkly. It shows a satellite image of Syria at night, before and after the civil war:
The lights have gone out in Syria’s largest cities. Click to enlarge photo.
The only other places on earth that look comparably desolate in terms of lighting are either natural wastelands, the poorest regions in Africa or North Korea. Note that even before the civil war, light was concentrated in inhabitable areas – a lot of Syria consists of desert. Still, the difference is striking.
Aleppo’s Cultural Heritage Destroyed
We want to direct your attention specifically to Aleppo, once the largest city in the Levant. Today it looks like they are using two or three candles there at night. Here are two panoramas of Aleppo from before the war, from different perspectives:
Aleppo before the war – in the background one can see its famous citadel.

Aleppo is one of the world’s oldest cities. Archeologists found the remains of a temple to the Bronze Age storm god Adda (5000 BC) during excavations in Aleppo’s citadel. Aleppo was always one of the Middle East’s cultural and religious melting pot cities. It is e.g. not only home a great many antique mosques and other Islamic buildings (like the Dar-al-Ifta shown further below), but also to quite a large number of once beautiful Christian Maronite churches and cathedrals, as well as a few ancient synagogues (including the remains of a 2000 years old one). We must qualify the word “is” at this point. In a great many cases the appropriate term is “was”, because many of these buildings have been destroyed.
Below are a few pictures of Aleppo as it looks today. First pictures of residential areas, then a few “before and after” pictures of the irreplaceable cultural heritage destroyed by bombings and artillery.

Conclusion:
War is hell and it has been unleashed in Syria to terrible effect on the lives of its people and its cultural heritage. The bombing was (so far) mainly Assad’s doing, and as can be seen above, he was quite thorough. Anyone bombing Syria now is mainly facing leftovers, and will presumably transform bigger pieces of rubble into slightly smaller pieces of rubble.

We deconstructed some problems and bad folks.
Same is true for Eastern Ukraine, which suffers from daily shelling by "our friends from Kiev".

It's a civil war, the people got only themselves to blame.
Coming soon to America.
"It's a civil war, the people got only themselves to blame."
Huh??!
Looks alot like Detroit...
US intervention at its finest!
How are their nuke plants doing?
For a prosperous and peaceful world every country should have A-Bomb. World would have been a different place today if Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan had A-Bomb. What do you think?
Saved their asses!
Team America, Fuck Yeah!
What value has this comment added? Nothing, you stole value by layering it on the front page. But then thats what you are paid to do, add nothing. You should be proud of yourself for being a tool of those who want to see evil on your house.
This comment point out tools like you so has more value then yours.
bbq on whitehou...
Thanks for point out this idiot.
Anyway, this topic about Syria was first brought to attention by Ugo Bardi.

TPTB all look the same.
All those broken windows. Krugman thinks this should make the Syrians pleased about their economic outlook.
Maybe he means it's good for the rock seller rather than the window owner.
Don't laugh. We will end up rebuilding that for free
Free to them.....not free to taxpayers
Americans by still paying taxes of course have nothing to do with this , but to stop paying taxes takes balls to stand up to evil somthing Americans have none of. Let's carry on killing children thats what America is good at. AMERICA FUCK YEH.
Forgot the /sarc tag? ;)

I bet they are glad their good friend Russia/Putin has their back and prevents them from being butchered. Oh, wait. (I include WUkraine)
Putin is going to regret using these peoples blood while claiming to be a friend. He lets them be butchered to slow down the advance on Russia and avoid impact to Russia. Of course when they finally get through with Russia's allies then Russia is finished as a major power in a number of years.
The Islamists want to live in the 8th century so here's their chance and the same with Libya etc.....
America is doing what Israel wants…. The turmoil throughout the Middle East, including Egypt and Syria, is precipitated in part by Israeli agents working in those countries to bring about turmoil and regimes favorable to a Greater Israel…
From the "Yinon Plan" to the "Ya’alon Strategy"
by Alfredo Jalife-Rahme
While the United States on the one hand, and France and Turkey on the other, are trying to reshape the Levant in their own way, Alfredo Jalife-Rahme highlights the continuity between the 1982 Oded Yinon Plan and Moshe Ya’alon’s present-day strategy. While endorsing the vision of both plans, Israel continues to pursue its own balkanization agenda. Historically, Israel has always sought to dismember the countries surrounding her.
Voltaire Network | Mexico City (Mexico) | 24 November 2014
"Syria will fall apart, in accordance with its ethnic and religious structure, into several states such as in present day Lebanon, so that there will be a Shi’ite Alawi state along its coast, a Sunni state in the Aleppo area, another Sunni state in Damascus hostile to its northern neighbor, and the Druzes who will set up a state, maybe even in our Golan, and certainly in the Hauran
and in northern Jordan. (...) This state of affairs will be the guarantee for peace and security in the area in the long run, and that aim is already within our reach today."
-- Oded Yinon, “A strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties”, Kivunum, translated by Israel Shahak, February 1982.

Holy Crap!
"

If you like your Islamists , you can Keep your Islamists in Merika ... We don't want'em here in Syria .....
PS : It's really , really , really Dark here in Syria at this moment .
.
Bullish for Krugmanomics!
Bullish for astronomy. Wish I could get those dark skies where I am!
Yeah...good thinking man...I bet the Syrians are real pleased about being able to view the stars clearly. The holes in the roof help too. And all the dead people means the good viewing spots aren't too crowded either. Lucky buggers.
if you live in Detroit, you had your chance yesterday.
Just think of all those jobs to fix it.
Syria is the new Libya thanks to the Nobel Prize Winner
Syria war death toll now more than 200,000: monitor"We have documented the killing of 202,354 people since March 2011," Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman said, adding that more than 130,000 of them were combatants.
"Of the total, 63,074 of the killed were civilians, including 10,377 children," said Abdel Rahman.

just another middle east shithole
WE made it just another middle east shithole. Ain't you proud of being an American ?
Yee-ha! I know I am!
Now watch this drive.
BTW Its a Nobel PEACE Prize Winner!
No one wants your seth.
The oldest trick in the book is to dehumanize and demonize people before you kill them. Look how they demonize Putin as a crazed mass-murderer while it is Obama who has bombed seven Muslim countries. However, this trick only works with people of low intelligence and an even lower morality.
The problem is, anybody can do that... including our future enemies.
Good thing half of America is clinically retarded
Let's just hope there are more that realize you can't fix the U.S. problems with their guns...

seen the milenials my kid is 18 and a stupid fucker and Yes I know he is my kid but I tried and I am just being honest we are fucked.
news break no inditment on the cop in ny uh oh
Sorry for your loss.
Do what you can and hopefully he'll come out the other side better then the present.
re: demonize Putin
see current issue of The New York Review of Books and the hit piece on Putin
Broken Windows.
Where's Krugman ('the other Nobel Laureate') now?
Go long Syria, Krugman! Bet your book!
Not until we see those photos above in the USS of A will this madness STOP.
Stop? Nah. It will ramp up, silly.
I take it you have never seen Detroit, Michigan.
No Doc but i have seen OldNew Joisy and was told not to venture into areas after dark
... was told not to venture into areas after dark
No kidding ! That's true in about 90% of contemporary America...
0bama goons in syria . Where are the sanctions against usa ?
Coming soon. The way Amerika is , might as well, USSA is still Israels Bitch.
They're working on changing the name to "Jews-rael"...
http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-news/1.629705
You lost me at the NWO meme: "the bombing was (so far) mainly Assad's doing".
Doc, it's an accurate statement as the "rebels" have no air force. Clearly, the government had a war taken to it by the "NWO" folks so they didn't have all that many choices. When outside forces start a civil war this is what happens. Nevertheless, it was the GOS (government of Syria) that bombed Aleppo. The Western war forces are now bombing Syria but they aren't hitting city centers.
.
Riiiiiight, and everyone knows that old buildings are immune to artillery and missiles, so all that damage must have been done by airplanes and helicopters.
.
That and the characterization of Assad as a 'tinpot dictator' reveal the author's ignorance (or obedience).
Such a piss poor analysis. Pater Tenebrarum must be a urinalysist.
USSA might look the same with the Carbon Tax Plan.

That last picture had a nice sniper tower. I'm guessing they found the sniper using it and brought that thing down, Saving Private Ryan style.
Sorry if I offended any experienced military people with my lack of knowledge on sniper tactics, I work in finance.
Oh...so you're in "means" rather than "method".
The pictures represent the US economy before and after the current financial fraud.
" That last picture had a nice sniper tower. I'm guessing they found the sniper using it and brought that thing down, Saving Private Ryan style "
Actually the " freedom Loving Rebels " bombed the tower on purpose in order to get sympathy and propaganda to show the world how the Government forces destroy places of worship ... Fortunately , a few weeks later a Leaked YouTube video showed how the " rebel " Commander - Abdul Qader Saleh - gives the orders in person to destroy it with artillery while he was at the sight .

The House of Fatwa Insurance got blown up? Now that's some serious Karma.
Its a damn shame, it truely illistratues that our leadership cares nothing for peace or freedom in the middle east. Syria was on its way. Local elections were happening, christans weren't beheaded. Then enter the socalled Syrian free army (scam) the Rebels (we all like Rebels - Star Wars) not to be confused with terriorst even though they carried the same flag and beheaded christans. We should of backed Assad, instead we gave weapons to ISIS. Sad. The Saudis are behind this and some of our top leadership knows this and does nothing.
The puppet turd Obama does what he is told. Syria doesn't have a central bank. That's why they along with Iran are on the hit list. WMDs are just a smokescreen. The Israeli security issue is a farce. Israel is a Rothschild holding. The central bank issue was also a major reason for the war crimes against Libya.
The American people have no idea about the atrocities, the outrages, committed by their own government. - Historian Dr Peter Cusnick
Hey Peter Tenebraum, your article sucks! Thanks for towing the Western Line of Propaganda that Syria was ruled by a tinpot dictator. It just so happens that under that tinpot dictator there was peace. It just happens that under that tinpot dictator Christians were allowed to practice there faith and lived in peace with the Moslems around them. There was no genocide...but thanks to your friendly CIA and MOSSAD stirring the pot and arming the "DEMOCRATIC REBELS" we now have a lights out Syria. Sure Assad was no Mother Teresa but he kept the peace and people lived in relative freedom.
The whole Arab spring thing was manufactured.
Nailed it.
I second that opinion regarding Syria. I have visited the very beautiful cities of Damascus and Aleppo. Before the current war people of different religious faiths lived in harmony. I was very sad to see the pictures of the ruins of Aleppo.
Here are some facts about Syria without reading the article While sitting in the Dark :
Prices , Before / after the " revolution / Freedom "
USD / SYP = 50 / 200
Inflation = 300 %
1 kg bread = 8 / 25
1 litre car fuel = 24 / 145
1 liter Diesel = 7 / 155
Nexium generic eqivalent of 1 box = 20 pills = 105 / 225
1 can of Pepsi = 15 / 85
Mineral bottled water 6 pack = 70 / 400
Private doctors visit = 500 / 2000
Private hospital Angiogram = 15000 / 75000
Govrnmnt hospital Angiogram = 00 / 00
Airline flite from Aleppo to Damascus = 1500 / 25000
Refrigerator = 15000 / 75000
Monthly average Utility = 1500 for 24 Hr service / 5000 occasional
Butane cooking gas canister = 275 delivered / 5000 NOT Delivered
Rice 1 kg = 15 / 100

1 tank or 16 kgs Extra virgin Olive oil = 950 / 16000
Fully roasted Chicken meal F. Food = 235 / 1100
Cheeseburger = 45 / 250
24 hr Electricity / 2-3 Hours if lucky
Independent Electricity Vendor = 00 before / 800 per week per AMP - 8 hours per day
Lots of jobs / 70% Unemloyed
Lots of churches / fewer Churches left
Lots of Christians with full heads / lots of Christians Without Heads
O fucking Bama , give us more Democracy ... Will'Ya ... Byatch !
Good Post. Even if I can't verify, the data points are appropriate.
Very sad for the Syrian people. The cancer has almost consumed every last bit of living tissue. (white spots)
If that were to happen in the U.S. I'd bet 1/3 of the population would be dead inside of 3-6 months.
The free shit army sure would be.
Yes, alot of them would perish...
The banksters would be running around like chickens with their heads chopped off... The N.Y. Fed. would become a 'Soylent Green' processing facility.
Try 3-6 hours (of not having social media and teevee access), or 3-6 days (of no 'food' on the shelves).
No doubt the ones with 'Fruit Fly' attention spans would be the first to go Skateboarder.
At least someone is saving on energy.
"It's the will of Allah", son.
This is just very sad. All of it needless. The western governments responsible for Libya, Syria and Iraq will never be held accountable but the cultural and physical destruction will never be repaired.
pazmaker, so correct.
One of Assad's priories was always and still is the Palestinian cause.
Syria has great history, culture and was a beautiful country, especially its cities.
The people have great hospitality too.
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Israel are middle east terrorist states funneling weapons and training to ISIS, Nursra and many others.
Peter Tenebraum get a grip.
re: great hospitality of the Syrian people.
I have found the Syrian people to be very friendly and kind to foreigners
All this was brought about by some unknown snipers firing into the crowds just like the Ukraine.
It's the isis flag only. Soon the Middle East will be one big dark isis flag. Nice holiday destination. If you like it. Of course.
And I sit here in my mom's basement thinking they were trying to save some energy, LOL.
Tenebrarum, are you a fucking fool?
So... how many tons of gold equals 'nothing' again?
May the Anglo-American instigators of this catastrophe rot in the Great Lotus Hell.
The Detroit-ification of Syria.

It was only March 2011 when Vogue Magazine featured Asma al-Assad, and the story presents a remarkable scenario of Syria before the catastrophic war that was to unfold. Since this story in Vogue in March 2011, the killing of 202,354 people in the Syria war has been documented... The United States wants the Assad government overturned because that's what Israel wants.
Asma al-Assad: A Rose in the Desert | Vogue Magazine March 2011
EXCERPT:
Asma al-Assad, Syria’s dynamic first lady, is on a mission to create a beacon of culture and secularism in a powder-keg region—and to put a modern face on her husband’s regime.
Asma al-Assad is glamorous, young, and very chic—the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies. Her style is not the couture-and-bling dazzle of Middle Eastern power but a deliberate lack of adornment. She’s a rare combination: a thin, long-limbed beauty with a trained analytic mind who dresses with cunning understatement. Paris Match calls her “the element of light in a country full of shadow zones.” She is the first lady of Syria.
Syria is known as the safest country in the Middle East, possibly because, as the State Department’s Web site says, “the Syrian government conducts intense physical and electronic surveillance of both Syrian citizens and foreign visitors.” It’s a secular country where women earn as much as men and the Muslim veil is forbidden in universities, a place without bombings, unrest, or kidnappings, but its shadow zones are deep and dark. Asma’s husband, Bashar al-Assad, was elected president in 2000, after the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad, with a startling 97 percent of the vote. In Syria, power is hereditary. The country’s alliances are murky. How close are they to Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah? There are souvenir Hezbollah ashtrays in the souk, and you can spot the Hamas leadership racing through the bar of the Four Seasons. Its number-one enmity is clear: Israel. But that might not always be the case. The United States has just posted its first ambassador there since 2005, Robert Ford.
Iraq is next door, Iran not far away. Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, is 90 minutes by car from Damascus. Jordan is south, and next to it the region that Syrian maps label Palestine. There are nearly one million refugees from Iraq in Syria, and another half-million displaced Palestinians.
“It’s a tough neighborhood,” admits Asma al-Assad.
It’s also a neighborhood intoxicatingly close to the dawn of civilization, where agriculture began some 10,000 years ago, where the wheel, writing, and musical notation were invented. Out in the desert are the magical remains of Palmyra, Apamea, and Ebla. In the National Museum you see small 4,000-year-old panels inlaid with mother-of-pearl that is echoed in the new mother-of-pearl furniture for sale in the souk. Christian Louboutin comes to buy the damask silk brocade they’ve been making here since the Middle Ages for his shoes and bags, and has incidentally purchased a small palace in Aleppo, which, like Damascus, has been inhabited for more than 5,000 years….

good contribution.
Need to remodel? Tired of your old digs that have been around for 1000's of years? Then Call the US State Dept. and CIA who will then subcontract out to the United States Military Industrial Complex - no job too big or too small....Once we're done, you'll never recognize the old neighborhood!...
If I lived in Syria I'd sure as hell not be leaking any light out of my domicile. The heaviest black blankets I could find over all windows, with plywood and whatever else I could find to boot. I'd probably have removed all the glass too. Doors? As much steel plate as I could scrounge.
That is, assuming I couldn't get the hell out of there. The second the Evil Eye of Imperium turns in your direction, it's already too late to leave in an orderly fashion. Running, screaming and waving your arms, is the preferred tactic at that point.
*None of this is to say Bashar Assad is any less of a bastard than his father was. But, as I recall, Syria was very generous with its dark prison system and professional torturers during our "Extraordinary Rendition" campaign. The CIA's retirement program is a real bitch. Just ask former employees Noriega, M.; Hussein, S.; Gadhafi, M.; bin Laden, O.; and the list goes on and on.
Mission Accomplished.
They'll make up for the drop in GDP in Carbon Credits
So all's well
At this rate, ISIL may win...
Assad's father used Ocalan's PKK terrorist/ guerrilla party[?] to start a war with Turkey. Why? He realized Turkey growing dominance in the Middle East.
He hated the Kurds in Turkey as much as those in his own country, and palyed Ocalan like a fiddle. The Turkish Army went full retard and basically broke the bank never mind International support fighting the war.
Turkey today has gotten worldwide critisim regarding its treatment towards the Turkish Kurds and the 'Batman Incident'!
This seems surreal today regarding the past, and the noice of the Qatari Gaspipe and a Arab Spring that just refuses to acknowledge seasonal changes? The ME will always be Arab, and it will always be Islam as much as Turkey considers itself European it can't escape its geography.
In 1938 the French, under the Mandate / Post WWI asked the people of Hatay [sticks out like a sore thumb/ prime real-estate?/ Antakya & Samandagi] Province [villiet] whom they would rather have govern them. The choice was between Turkey [Ottoman] and Syria[the Lebanon] and they chose Turkey. Syria felt cheated, and betrayed. France was perhaps smart with the choice, seeing that by 1940 the French were under German Nazi control. Pathetic ?!?
But what had happened in 1915... a century ago hasn't been buried/ forgotten by a long shot regarding the Armenian genocide by the Turks and Kurdish forces on the Armenian people. My point being with all the noice in the Black Sea area regarding Crimea/ Ukraine, Qatari gas, Erdogan and his fondness/ loyalty to the Muslim Brortherhood working with Saudi money, and with the Saudi's hating the MB makes Erdogan an unsavory character? But is he?
Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran can't allow this northern tier of Kurdish borders to align and create nationalism and become sovereign idependent nations. It will never work, but instead these countries should all become automononous to their fraternal nation.
Yes, Syria is in ruins and Lebanon was in a fifteen [1975-90] year civil war between the Maronites an Druze, and political, religious war-- Iraq, Iran, and Syria all 'Twelver's/ Shi`ism... and, a minority of wealthy oil rich Shiites in SE Saudi Arabia. Sounding any familiar alarm bells?
I'm really having a hard tyme making heads or tails of what's happening in the demarcated-hash'd line Sykes-Picot travesty that just never goes away?
Could the Armenian's be fighting a proxy war? Could the Saudis be fighting an anti-MB war, and world dominance in energy against Iranian [South Pars] Gas and teaming with Qatar [whom, btw supports the MB?]?!? Or could have the Syrian [Kurdish/ Turkish] Hizbollah join forces with the mighty Muslim Brortherhood/ Al-Qaeda/ ISIL all Sunni Abrahism fanatics. Note: Regarding Turkey and Ataturk [Kemalist] that dissolved the Caliphate in Turkey and through out the Arab language for Turkish while banning Islam as the States religion?

How does this impact the US carbon footprint....
Libya was not a Fucking Civil War it was a U.S. and NATO robbery and arson. Evidently Libertarians are ignorant about everything. After the revolution starts just get me within 1200 Meters of this guy so I can change his mind, a reeducation camp would not be adequate.
Thinking I might beat BlackRock to the punch and launch an ETF focusing on Syrian single and double occupancy homes. Year zero.
