Opposition Terrorists "Killed Families Loyal to the Government"
Detailed Investigation

by Marat Musin

Global Research Editor's Note

This incisive report by independent Russian journalist Marat Musin dispels the lies and fabrications of the Western media.

The report is based on a chronology of events as well as eyewitness accounts. Entire pro-government families in Houla were massacred. The terrorists were not pro-government shabbiha militia as conveyed, in chorus, by the mainstream media, they were in large part mercenaries and professional killers operating under the auspices of the self-proclaimed Free Syrian Army (FSA):

"When the rebels seized the lower checkpoint in the center of town and located next to the local police department, they began to sweep all the families loyal to the authorities in neighboring houses, including the elderly, women and children.

Several families of the Al-Sayed were killed, including 20 young children and the family of Abdul Razak. The people were killed with knives and shot at point blank range.

Then they presented the murdered [corpses] to the UN and the international community as victims of bombings by the Syrian army, something that was not verified by any marks on their bodies."


We call on our readers to forward this report far and wide, post it on facebook. .

The massacre in Houla is being blamed on the Syrian government without a shred of evidence. The objective is not only to isolate Syria politically and economically, but to develop a pretext and a justification for waging an R2P humanitarian war on Syria.

The US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice has hinted that if the Security Council does not act, the US and its allies may consider "taking actions outside of the Annan plan and the authority of the [UN Security] Council.”

This report by Marat Musin confirms that crimes against humanity are being committed by terrorist militia.

It is essential to reverse the tide of war propaganda which uses civilian deaths as a pretext to wage war, when those killings of civilians were carried out not by government forces but by professional terrorists operating under the helm of the US-NATO sponsored Free Syrian Army.

By the "uprising" you mean the communist insurgency of 1944-1949 in Greece?? Yes, the Greek communists did commit such attrocities. A lot of them. But nothing like what we see happening in the Arabic countries and especially in Syria right now.

Here we talk about ruthless mass murders of children and other unarmed civilians. Committed, in the particular case, by the mercenaries of the "big boys" (if true) in order to be used as an excuse for a NATO intervention. And the "big boys" know and pretend not to know. But it doesn't astonish me. The fact that they appointed Kofi Annan to "resolve" the problem says it all about their intentions.

Seems to me the so called "Arab Spring" was a total failure. Most of the Arabs don't know what democracy is! What is left is just different groups which are equally bad fighting for power. Look at Egypt ... they removed Mubarak and now in the elections the two top candidates are the Muslim Fanatics and a former minister of Mubarak. And now they demonstrate demanding that the former minister of Mubarak should be excluded from the next round of the elections! :roll: If there was an Arab Spring then a new democratic party would have been born out of it and would win most votes in the elections. There was no Spring... just more of the same. In Syria those who oppose the current dictator are not any better than him. They just decided that this is a good time for them to take the power. Same was with Libya.

kimon, a Greek Orthodox priest was murdered in Syria recently, at most a few months ago, i read about it here on this forum. it was not reported widely in the international media, and it is another indication that what is being said, things are not so black and white. i don't doubt the murders of innocent people by the Assad regime, hundreds if not thousands, however reports like the one we read in this topic may not be far fetched.

...another indication that there are "Syrians" and Syrians; extremists of whatever colour who have no respect for their Individuality (as Humans) because they put their Personal identity first.

My apologies. Didn't realise you was referring to Syria. Thought you was making comparisons with the Greek civil war.

Now, concerning killings of civilians. If such deaths are unintentional, i.e., the result of what NATO came to characterise as "collateral damage" although, horrendous we, the "Westerners" are the last who would be entitled to judge and pass verdict. All we have to do is look into our massive crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Serbia, Libya (and I could go as far back as WW2). BUT, cold blooded murders of unarmed civilians and of children in their homes, with axes and knives, well, that is a different thing altogether isn't it? Especially if such murders are planned, premeditated and committed in order to trigger foreign intervention.

Typical Chrysi Avgi talk. The paradox is that Assad, the murdering dictator-butcher of his own people is supported by Russia, China, Christofias and of course the democrat Kimon and Yialousa. Sotos can be excused for a number of reasons.

What you know about Syria is what is fed to you by the western media. If we were to believe the western media then in Egypt there was some revolution for democracy some time ago. And now in the elections the majority voted for the Muslim Fanatics and a minister of Mubarak. And now the "democrat revolutionaries" want to have the person who came 2nd in the elections banned from the second round. Some democrats! :roll: In Syria those who fight Assad are not any better than him. They are also murderers who all they care for is how to get their hands on the power and don't care at all about how many people will die! :evil:

As UN envoy warns of all-out war, a major has provided crucial evidence on the Houla killings

Raslan served until last Saturday in the Syrian Air Force in the strategically vital port city of Tartous. He had been in Houla on leave when the town was shelled just after 1pm last Friday, then invaded by a civilian militia, known as the Shabiha, in the worst single atrocity of the Syrian uprising.

The officer's account to the Observer of what took place is among the most important of the testimonies to have emerged since the massacre, the aftermath of which appears to be causing fresh turmoil inside Syria 16 months after the first stirrings of revolt inspired by the Arab spring.

Raslan said he was in his house, around 300 metres from the site of the first massacre in the village of Taldous, when several hundred men whom he knew to be Shabiha members rode into town in cars and army trucks and on motorbikes.

"A lot of them were bald and many had beards," he said. "Many wore white sports shoes and army pants. They were shouting: 'Shabiha forever, for your eyes, Assad.' It was very obvious who they were.

"We used to be told that armed groups killed people and the Free Syria Army burned down houses," he said. "They lied to us. Now I saw what they did with my own eyes."

He said the killings in his area were over in around 15 minutes. However, the rampage in other parts of Houla continued until the early hours of Saturday, according to eye-witnesses and survivors.

"Those victims who were slaughtered are people that I knew well," Raslan said. "These children I knew well, personally. I ate with their families. I had social ties with them. The regime cannot lie about these people, who they were and what they did to them. It was a brutal act by the regime against people who were with the revolution," he said.
