CNN journalists are wizards, able to transform a wanted Jihadist into a nice and moderate Syrian rebel, whose goal is to overthrow Bashar Assad

On December 6, 2024, CNN publishes its interview (right, screenshot) of 42-year-old Syrian national Ahmed al Shara, nom de guerre *Muhammad al Julani*, whom the US are however looking for since 2013 as *terrorist* (left, Rewards for Justice)

Since Osama bin Laden and Afghanistan in the 80s, the Jihadists are auxiliaries of the West, for the enforcement of Western hegemony. They are usually wrecking havoc in the countries opposed to the US and its stooges. Their relationship is alternately flaming and cooling

On December 6, 1993, exactly 31 years ago, the British Independent paid a vibrant tribute to Osama bin Laden. This article is cult, makes me always burst out laughing

Cooling on September 11, 2001, or when the new Caliphate [a reference to the former Ottoman Caliphate, the new one is also called ISIS], a dissent from al Qaeda in 2013, started threatening Western interests. Cooling when France, one of the most hysterical support of the Islamist uprising against the secular government in Syria, underwent collateral damage on November 13, 2015, in Paris

Muhammad al Julani was already an executive of the organization when Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State (ISI), Iraqi branch of al Qaeda, detached him in Syria as commander of Jabhat al Nusra [Front for the Conquest of the Levant], its subsidiary there, in the context of the Islamist uprising which had broken in 2011. Out of personal ambition, Baghdadi seceded from al Qaeda in 2013, was appointed leader of a new Caliphate (ISIS) in June 2014, a few weeks after an incredible victory in Mosul, Iraq. Julani did not follow him, remained stand alone leader of al Qaeda in Syria

In collaboration with Hezbollah, Iran and Russia, Syria managed to defeat the Islamist uprising in 2020, but Turkey and NATO prevented the government from finishing the job. The Jihadists remained in Idlib pocket, under Western umbrella, when other defeated groups, settled in northern Syria, where they became auxiliaries of Recep Erdogan’s Neo-Ottoman Turkey

Supreme leader of al Qaeda, Ayman al Zawahiri was killed in Afghanistan on July 31, 2022, but the Western strategy in Syria remains crystal clear. Current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan wrote to Hillary Clinton in 2012

Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria

Then Donald Trump’s special envoy to Syria, James Jeffrey added in 2021

HTS is an asset to the US’s strategy in Idlib

Hayat Tahrir al Sham [Organization for the Liberation of the Levant, HTS] is the umpteenth rebranding of Julani’s organization in Syria.

NATO would like to retaliate for the expected Russian victory in Ukraine and after their defeat in Lebanon in November 2024, Israel and the US are seeking to cut Hezbollah’s lines of communications with Iran. Turkey is a NATO member country and Erdogan remains obsessed with his Ottoman fantasies, wants to enforce his protectorate over Syria. Many reasons for a new upturn in the relationship between the Jihadists and their usual Western customers

After four years of refit and training in northern Syria and Idlib pocket, the rebels unleash a new offensive and CNN writes that jihadist Julani is

the militant leader of the main group driving the country’s armed opposition.

Until recently, a serious geopolitical working hypothesis was that West Asia and Ukraine were two vectors of the standard Hegemon modus operandi, which is to incite and unleash Forever Wars. Now both wars are united in an Omni-War
