Syrian Opposition Figure Tied to British Intelligence’s Anti-Russian Operations
3 February 2012
In December, we reported that a main source for UN and media figures on the purported deaths of demonstrators in Syria was the London-based Strategic Research and Communications Center, founded and directed by Ausama Monajed, who was also a founding member of one of the two main opposition factions in that country, the Syrian National Council. As we reported at the time ("British Writing Obama’s Script for Syrian Trigger for World War III," LPAC release of Dec. 30, 2011), the scenario for a Libya-modelled foreign military invasion of Syria, to overthrow Bashar Assad and back opposition forces, was actually written by Michael Weiss of London’s Henry Jackson Society, but then "edited" by Monajed and published with his name attached. Now it has emerged that Monajed’s work is intertwined with British Intelligence in other ways, as well, highly relevant to the British all-out assault against Russia. An August 1, 2011 blog on the Reuters website focused on Monajed’s fascination, since 2006, with Gene Sharp’s theories of non-violent revolution. Reportedly he has traveled to Boston to meet with Sharp. A May 19, 2011 Le nouvel Observateur article on Syrian "videos of freedom," says that Monajed "studied the tactics of peaceful struggle with the guru of the discipline, the American Gene Sharp." Sharp is famous as the author of the "198 non-violent techniques" cookbook, used in Burma, Southwest Asia, and several so-called "color revolutions" in Eastern Europe. He is based in Boston, but was trained at Oxford in the 1950s-1960s by members of one of Lord Bertrand Russell’s several kindergartens in the British Intelligence establishment. EIR Online of Feb. 3, 2012, just released, contains an investigative report on the role of Sharp and other Oxford trainees, including Obama’s new ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, in operations against Russia today. The report demonstrates that the non-violent posture of Sharp et al. is fraudulent, since their methods were developed as irregular warfare under doctrines that include full-scale combat, including nuclear war. Indeed, the same British strategists who are gunning for "regime change" in Syria, and chastizing Moscow for defending the Assad government, are also gunning for "regime change" in Russia itself. |
