Unveiling the Geopolitical Chessboard of the Middle East and Untold History of Syria
Breaking History Episode 74
In this week’s episode of Breaking History, Gordon and I were joined by special guest Colonel Towner Watkins to discuss the untold history of Syria and the broader historic manipulation of the Middle East by imperial forces intent on ruling a depopulated world.
Topics discussed: A history of CIA coups against Syria, the Muslim Brotherhood, Zionist intrigues to break up the entire Middle East following the ‘Lebanon model’, Good vs Bad variations of Pan-Arabism, the rise of Hafez al Assad to power in 1970, Sadat’s 1973 betrayal of Syria, the emergence of the Trotskyist neo-cons into power, Gladio cells in Turkey, and the sabotage (and now hopeful revival) of Bashar al-Assad’s Five Seas Vision.

Great couple of presentations, thanks Matt. Couple of questions: 1. Both pipelines proposed in ?2009 to run through Syria would compete with Russian gas to Europe so that can't be the reason Assad turned down the pipeline from Qatar through Saudi, Jordan, Syria & Turkey(Syria's adversaries) and agreed to the one from Iran through Iraq, Syria and Lebanon(we'd call it the 'Resistance' Pipeline today - Syria's allies). If Syria had agreed to the Qatar pipeline then the west would have used that as an opportunity to further undermine Assad's Presidency. 2. After Israel blamed Egypt for the attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 was not the US about to launch a nuclear attack on Egypt but LBJ pulled back at the last minute(?a phone call from the Russians "You nuke Egypt, we nuke Israel, then all hell.......) Weren't the B52's on their way? A US landing in Syria would have been hazardous to say the least.
