Assad may be critically injured or dead
This is not a news story. It is purely rumour and speculation, please do not think I am reporting this as fact.
The reason I am writing this, is because I have no reason to believe that my sources have ulterior motives in telling me what they have told me. The story sounds very similar to a rumour that is being floated by the Free Syrian Army, so for all I know, this is just standard psy-ops and propaganda. Nevertheless, I thought you’d be interested.
“This comes from people in Damascus who are connected to the Baath Party, and many are former Saadam Hussein’s Baath people.
Assad was wounded, shot by some of his guards. He is critically injured and Russian doctors are treating him. He is close to death or have died.
He is being treated at Tashreen [military] Hospital. The Hospital is surrouded by presidential guards and cars are not allowed to drive close to the building.
Syrian news agencies and state TV are not even responding to challenges made by rebels that Assad appears on TV.
Word running in the preidential palace that Assad is in fact dead. The Guard(s) who shot him are reported to have fled, and the operations seemed like a well-thought assassiantion [sic] and maybe not just someone who made the choice.
While Assad’s guards are loyal, they are still for sale for whoever pays more.”
Assad may be critically injured or dead – The Commentator
I’m posting this story as a follow-up to a over-the-weekend-breaking-news story that I posted here a little over a week ago. There has been nothing in the main stream press regarding Assad’s whereabouts. Meanwhile in Damascus – See In Other News – citizens are fleeing for there lives. As I have stated before is this the destruction of Damascus foretold in Biblical prophecy?
My guest on Acceleration Radio tomorrow is Bill Salus and while we pre-recorded the show on Monday, the information Bill relayed is up to date and pertinent, so you won’t want to miss this show.
According to this article Assad gave explicit instructions that if he were to die, Syria was to attack Israel. Reports: Syria ordered to attack Israel if Assad falls |
If Assad is alive then why haven’t we seen him? If he’s clinging to life in a hospital in Damascus, then the story of the assassination has been managed well, and kept under the radar, by those loyal to him. If he’s dead, why haven’t the Syrians carried out his last wishes?
In closing todays post: The Middle East continues to slip into chaos. Israel struck Gaza for the first time since the “truce.” John Kerry is floating the typical land for peace, two-state solution, which will never work. Egypt is embroiled in its own inner turmoil as The Moslem Brotherhood continues its forced marching of the populace into a Sharia state. Iraq is plagued by suicide bombers who blow themselves up on a regular basis with no end in sight. Al Qaeda is alive and well and digging in on the Golan Heights overlooking Israel. Iran is continuing her goal to produce a nuclear weapon. Antisemitism is at an all time high and is much like it was in 1938. You should see some of the hate mail I get in regard to Israel!
In my opinion, these times are unprecedented and at some point war will break out. Bill Salus and I discussed possible scenarios for this and our show will air tomorrow night. In the meantime like most of us, I wonder about the fate of the Syrian people if Assad is in fact, dead.
