Casualty of media war: Gulf States ditch Syrian TV dramas

July 12, 2012 08:01

Before the gruesome pictures of Syrian political violence flooded the screens of all major networks across the globe, the image of Syria was shaped through its dominant television drama industry, portraying the country as a peaceful loving state.

It's no wonder. The Gulf states have their wealth in counterfeit Petro dollars so they have to abide by the US's wishes. If the dollar goes down, they will go down with it. That goes for NATO to. They are forced to only sell oil for dollars to protect the dollars they have. Syria and Iran are not caught in the trap, that's why they are the enemy. As a matter of fact, 70% of the world's reserve currency is held in dollars. The Gulf states fear Syria and Iran because Iran is looking to start a Bourse (stock exchange) trading oil in EU's. If they're successful or I should say live to do it, this could create a serious competitor to the dollar. This situation along with the Zionist goals against Syria, You can take it from there.

Syrian ambassador defection to Iraq? That only shows that "The love of money is the root of all evil". Undoubtedly he was given a golden carrot for defecting. The fear is building and Syria, Iran and Russia are the target. It's interesting. At the time of America's civil war, only Russia and America did not central banks. Russia came to America's Northern states aid when England's central bank was pushing England to get in the war on the South's side. Now America is caught up in the central bank web while Russia, Iran and Syria still don't. Coincidence? In a pigs rear end

Syrian ambassador to Iraq defects to opposition
Syria’s ambassador to Iraq, Nawaf al-Fares, says he has joined the revolution and urges others to join. In a video statement to Al Jazeera, Nawaf al-Fares said that his decision came in the wake of what he described as a horrible massacre committed against the Syrian people by the regime. "I announced my resignation as Syrian ambassador to Iraq as I also declare my defection from the Syrian Baath Party," he said on Wednesday. A veteran of Assad's rule who held senior positions under the late president Hafez Assad, Fares also called upon the military to join the Syrian uprising.

Why is it that evil always outnumbers the good.  Perhaps what they lack in depth they attempt to make up for in numbers.

What a shame. It seems as though it is a real attempt to remove foreign perception of all humanising and positive attributes of these ancient peoples.   Storytelling is a human trait we share in every culture. It's a medium which unites humans - it seems we are simply not allowed to love each other - it's just not profitable...

The absolute monarchies in the Gulf states who are themselves authoritarian undemocratic dictators and puppets of the West will do anything to impress their masters so they can remain in power. What a sad state of affairs.
