Syrian atrocity: Bodies of postal workers thrown from roof (GRAPHIC VIDEO)
rt.com ^ | 12AUG12 | RT

Posted on 08/12/2012 11:43:40 AM PDT by bayouranger

A horrific amateur video appeared on YouTube, apparently showing an atrocity against public service workers in Syria. The footage displays a crowd of people callously throwing the bodies of slain postal workers from a post office rooftop.

­The video, the source of which could not be independently verified, shows several dozen people having surrounded the staircase of the building, some of them chanting “Allahu Akbar!” They watch corpses being thrown out and rolled down the steps.

Also, several people have got to the roof and are throwing down the apparently dead bodies of post servants.

As they hit the ground, the crowd rushes in to catch the appalling images on their mobile phones.

The video caused online outrage and heated debates on Twitter as to who the people committing the atrocity might be. The majority allege they are Free Syrian Army supporters who intentionally target civil servants backing the regime.

not really ~ it could be but it isn’t. This is disturbing though. The killers are being financed by Michelle Obama or her boy ~ one of the two ~

It's religious ~ the Sunni are murdering all the Alawi they can find. Then they'll round up the Christians and Jews and kill them too.

This is one time Putin has been correct ~ if you want to support Christians you must support their protector ~ Assad ~ or they will die.

BTW, putting the lie to the Bush story about Sunni, these guys are just typical Sunni. We might well consider sending them back where they came from.

The point is when it’s not known who the throwers/thrown are how can people just watching the video form an accurate opinion?

People here on this thread are making comments about RT, it doesn’t seem RT took the original video, not the one on SyrianGirlpartisan’s channel anyway. So allegations about RT don’t seem to fit.

Barbarians fighting barbarians. It would be best for the entire world if they killed each other.

What do you think happened to the people who owned the cars, the homes and the clothing scattered in the driveways?

And why would Russia or China stand by and watch the same thing happen again...as NATO and the muslim brotherhood sweeps a wave of death over another SECULAR country?

You mean a socialist country.

A muslim socialist dictatorship bombs and massacres its own people including innocent women and children and FReepers cheer it on and denounce the USA?

Sick.

You have NO idea what you are talking about. The sunni scum shouting allah akbar will massacre the Christians and Alawites of Syria. Just whose bodies do you think they are now throwing off the top of buildings?
You’ve been programmed by the MSM.

And if I were you I would learn a little more about who lives in Syria and just what’s going on, you swallowed the BS about the Shah of Persia, and look who the US handed that country over to.
Every time some lying leftwing marxist-loving adminstration like your disgusting Carter, your Fraud POTUS or Her Thighness tells you there’s a socialist dictator running a country, I would be looking very carefully into the mirror.
You’re close to it. Very close. The US has become a handmaiden and enabler of the United Nations and its 57 muslim member states with their oil-stick.

Innocent women and children? Really? The scum leave them to go off to kill - knowing that the aid agencies will look after them.
A happy arab spring to you.

Did you watch the link to the video I posted? What DO you think happened to those people?

The Shah was our ally. Assad is not.

The Ayatollah supports Assad. If you are on Assad's side then you are on the side of the jihadist Ayatollah.

Hezbollah supports Assad. Jimmy Carter Regrets Not Meeting With Hezbollah - 'Jimmy Carter said Friday he would have been "delighted" to meet with Hezbollah officials during his visit to Lebanon and regretted the militant group's leaders refuse to meet with current or former American presidents.'

Dude, seriously, get your head out of your ass.

More Socialists who agree with you and Obama that America shlould "lead from behind," and do nothing without permission from Russia, China and the UN:
French Socialists furious over Sarkozy Syria statement - August 09, 2012 - France’s Socialist government has reacted angrily to Nicolas Sarkozy’s call for “rapid international action” in Syria. The former president’s allies have accused President François Hollande of putting his holidays before the interests of the Syrian people, in contrast to Sarkozy’s action over past crises in Libya and Georgia. “Inopportune and inelegant” was how Socialist Party international secretary Jean-Christophe Cambadélis described Sarkozy’s publication of a joint statement with Syrian National Council leader Abdel Basset Sayda after the two had held a 40-minute telephone conversation earlier this week.

Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius and Socialist Party boss Martine Aubry angrily refuted Sarkozy’s comparison of the Syrian conflict with the events that led to Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi’s downfall. “The differences are so evident that no country has demanded nor desires a military intervention,” Fabius commented.

After all, why would French socialists want to overthrow Ba'ath socialism when Baathism was invented by a French Socialist?

This is an account of what’s really happening in Syria, by a nun who lives there. Also been following the Syria news on another site that has a lot of news hounds; Al Qaeda flags are now flying in rebel held areas, and residents in Syria have told of foreign jihadis pouring in to Syria to fight against Assad. It’s a horrible stew.

Media Coverage of Syrian Violence Partial and Untrue, Says Nun
Irish Times ^ | Patsy McGarry

Posted on Monday, August 13, 2012 11:18:22 AM by marshmallow

A NUN who has been superior at a Syrian monastery for the past 18 years has warned that media coverage of ongoing violence in that country has been “partial and untrue”. It is “a fake”, Mother Agnes Mariam said, which “hides atrocities committed in the name of liberty and democracy”.

Superior of the Melkite Greek Catholic monastery of St James the Mutilated in Qara, in Syria’s diocese of Homs, which is in full communion with Rome, she left Ireland yesterday after a three-day visit during which she met representatives of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference in Maynooth.

She told The Irish Times she was in Ireland “not to advocate for the (Assad) regime but for the facts”. Most news reports from Syria were “forged, with only one side emphasised”, she said. This also applied to the UN, whose reports were “one-sided and not worthy of that organisation”.

UN observers in Syria had been “moderate with the rebels and covered for them in taking back positions after the withdrawal of heavy equipment, as seen so tragically in Homs”, she said.

When it was put to her this suggested the whole world was out of step except for Syria, Russia and China, she protested: “No, no, there are 20 countries, including some in Latin America” of the same view.

The reason the media was being denied easy access to Syria currently was because in the Libyan conflict journalists placed electronic devices for Nato in rooms used at press conferences in that country, she said. “So Syria didn’t want journalists,” she said.

Christians make up about 10 per cent of Syria’s population, dispersed throughout the country, she said. The Assad regime “does not favour Christians”, she said. “It is a secular regime based on equality for all, even though in the constitution it....

YES...we know, don’t we? And we also know what the UN is good for, and what will happen to the people the sunni militias call the infidel. All that is keeping them alive right now is the refusal of a number of countries to allow a repeat of what happened in Libya.

I have an awful feeling that one day there will be a terrible reckoning. How NATO allowed itself to be used to do the dirty work of this US administration beats me.

I hope this time, no matter how stridently Her Thighness demands it, there will NOT be a no-fly zone over Syria. NATO has been used in the employ of islam often enough already.

We have a fiend for a president. A shell, filled with hatred, vengefulness, attachment for what is evil, untruth - a sack filled with every vile impulse and habit, and moved by others as bad or worse as he is.

Always choosing the wrong side, the wrong action, or not acting when action is needed, or vice versa. I think the description below spoken on the great battlefield of Kurukshetra describes such mentality perfectly.


Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.

The demoniac, taking shelter of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige, and being thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.

Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world.
