Konflikten i Syrien

Friends, it's incredible that more people chose to believe a terrorist group over me. Here some information for those who trust me:

1. JFS' denial

That Nusra/AQ would deny the interview was clear from the start. The openness and honesty with which a simple, not high-ranking commander spoke about the true goals of al Qaeda must have been very painful to the leading cadre. Same for the US government. This AQ commander says what the whole world believes.

Such after-the-act denials have become a custom to rebels. Understandable. So Nusras claim is obviously bs.

2. Identity of the commander

About the identity of the AQ commander. We were able to research his identity in greatest detail and know everything about him. Also about his private background. The interview was arranged for by rebels from Aleppo. (I have contacts with them for years.) It furthermore was conducted at a place within sight and range of Nusra, only Nusra members could reach this place. Parts of his claims were furthermore confirmed almost literally by the Nusra-Mufti of Aleppo. Link.

Other claims of his about the rebels disinterest in the COH were later confirmed [by reality], as well as his predictions about military plans for other Syrian cities. All that speaks for his authenticity.

in Syria, many Muslim men wear rings and even gold chains. Not unusual. Abu Al Ezz is no visible/recognizable salafist. He is a fighter. He used to be with the FSA but Nusra pays better. Many in AQ fight for the money.

There are many Nusra fighters without beard. (see pictures), even if they are not (as was the case here) spies for Nusra.

3. Geolocation

Particularly wrong was Mr. Geolocator. His bs is really embarrassing.

Looks like he didn't even read my interview in full. The interview was conducted - as I say/write in the video - "conducted in the no-mans-land between the fronts". No one ever claimed the quarries were in rebel territory.

The location found by "Geolocator" is not the place where my interview took place. The real location was several KM away from the location he claimed. Mr. Geolocator bases his research on 2 towers, but the truth is there are countless such towers near such quarries.

We were south-west of Aleppo, not south-east as Geolocator claims.

"Gelocator" claims our interview was conducted near Haraybel Ceckpoint. That is wrong. In reality the interview took place near Khan Touman. Our Satellite pictures show not only exactly where we were but also that the area is not under SAA control.

The location Gelocator names also differs in color from the the real place. "Our" (the real one) quarry was, as you can see in the interview, pure white with only a small black patch. While Geolocators location is only white on the outside, and dark inside.

Freddy (his son + cameraman) has more videos that show us on our way to that quarry. The fact that we have to release such details to counter al Qaeda propagandists and some ignorant idiots is a waste of our time.

Conclusion

Some things can not be found out from behind a computer screen, but instead one has to move ones ass in person and under big risks into war zones. Online-Heroes sadly never seem to do that. And that is amateurish, half-assed and irresponsible. It seems like I have to report much more from such regions [to educated those]. The lack of knowledge/competence from some critics almost pains me.

Insofar my comment [this one] was probably way too nice. I also want to say that I have been for all my life on the search for the truth. And I still am. That also applies to my journeys to Syria and my research in Syria. Sometimes the truth hurts. I know that. Nevertheless I will always say what I have found to be the truth after thorough research. I think that is my duty. Even if I it rains criticism on me.

ENGLISH STATEMENT: The fact that my critics choose to believe a terrorist organisation more than me is messed up! Here is some further information for people who trust in me:

It was clear from very beginning that Jabhat Al Nusra (Al Qaida) would deny the interview. The openness with which a simple, not high-ranking commander speaks about Al Qaida’s true aims must be aggravating for the top-ranking political leadership. The same applies to the US government. The Al Qaida commander says what the whole world has been speculating.

Such subsequent disclaimers by the rebels are nothing unusual. So one can safely ignore that. Which thief pleas guilty immediately once you catch him?

2) Regarding the identity of the Al Qaida commander: We have researched his identity in depth and know practically everything about him. Including his private background. The interview was arranged by a rebel from Aleppo. (I have been in contact with Syrian rebels for years now.) Furthermore, it took place in an area that is in immediate proximity (visibility and range of fire) of Jabhat al Nusra - only Al Nusra members would be able to enter this region safely. Some of his statements were confirmed almost word by word shortly after by the Al Nusra mufti in Aleppo. http://www.almayadeen.net/.../%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%86%D8...
Other predictions, for example about the rebels’ disinterest in a truce, have also proven themselves to be true. Just like the prediction of a planned military activity in several Syrian cities. All of this speaks in favour of his authenticity.

In Syria numerous Muslim men (not a majority, but none the less many) wear rings and sometimes even necklaces made from gold. That’s nothing unusual. Abu Al Ezz is quite obviously not a salafist. He is a more of a “soldier of fortune”, someone who fights for money and fame not for pride and honour. He used to be part of the “Free Syrian Army”. However, Al Nusra pays better. Hence, there are now many who solely fight for Al Qaida because of the money.

There is also numerous Al Nusra fighters who do not wear a beard. As you can see in our pictures.

3.) Completely wrong and mistaken is he geolocator from Carta’. The nonsense he is fabricating is utterly embarrassing for him.

He obviously didn’t even read my text that went with the video. The interview – as stated in the text – took place in no man’s land between the frontlines. Noone has ever said the stone quarry is an area under control of the rebels.

The place this so-called 'geolocator' identifies is NOT the true location of the interview. Our location was miles away from the place he mentions. The 'geolocator' constructs his argument i.a. around two towers seen in the video. In reality, there are countless towers near the location of the quarry.

The place he mentions also differs in colour from the true location of the interview. “Our” quarry was - as you can see in the interview – snow-white with just a small spot of black. The 'geolocateur’s' location, however, is light only on the outside and mostly dark inside.

We were southwest of Aleppo, not south as alleged by the 'geolocator'.
The 'geolocator' claims we were near Haraybel checkpoint. However, we were near Khan Tuman!!! Here are the satellite pictures:

Our satellite images show clearly without ambiguity that our interview was not in the territory of the government, like my critics try and make you believe.

Freddy has several other videos, which show the way into ‘our’ quarry exactly. The fact that we have to dig out such details to disprove the claims of Al Qaida, its propagandists and some ignoramuses is actually a theft of time.

To sum up: Some things cannot be researched in front of a computer, but require moving one’s butt under great risk into the war zones of this world. Unfortunately, computer-heroes don’t ever do that. And such unfounded criticism is unacceptable, dilettantish and irresponsible.

I obviously have to report even more from that region. The ignorance of some critics almost hurts. In this respect, my reply was actually too friendly. I want to state openly, that my whole life I was (and AM!) investigating to find the truth. This also applies to my journeys to, and research in Syria. Some truths are uncomfortable - I know that. Despite this, I will always speak about what I have recognised to be the truth after careful research. I believe this is my duty. Even when there is a volley of reproaches.

“'US has always been main sponsor of Islamic State' - former CIA contractor to RT

The US claim that Russian troops will go home in body bags if Moscow doesn't end its Aleppo offensive is absurd, former CIA contractor Steven Kelley told RT. He said Russia is the only answer to defeating ISIS. Other experts also weigh in on the subject..”

““The US has always been the main sponsor and creator of Daesh (Arabic acronym for IS), so this charade that they are having anything to do with fighting Daesh in Syria is completely a farce, and I think the rest of the world is smart enough to realize that everything that comes out of the mouth of John Kirby or any of the State Department personnel is complete and utter balderdash,” Kelley said.

He advised Russian President Vladimir Putin to focus on "getting the job done," as Russia is the only way IS will be defeated in Syria. “Russia should sever all relations, and if I had anything to advise Mr. Putin, I would say get the job done, stop participating in any of these peace agreements and destroy Daesh and get the job over with,” he said.

“The US is not going to do anything to help removing (sic) Daesh and is going to do everything possible to reconstruct, rearm, and resupply, and put more personnel into the field. So everything they say is a lie, and Putin really needs to stop playing games with the US State Department and get the job done.”

Kelley went on to credit Russia for getting involved in Syria when it did, stating that the country would have been “completely overrun” by now if it didn't.
