Syrian Army soldier holds up Al Nusra Front (al Qaeda in Syria) flag in the Umayyed Mosque, Old City, after government troop liberated terrorist-occupied East Aleppo this week

According to two reports coming out of Aleppo today, at least 14 US Coalition military officers were captured this morning in an East Aleppo bunker by Syrian Special Forces.

This story was quietly leaked by Voltaire.net, who announced,"The Security Council is sitting in private on Friday, December 16, 2016, at 17:00 GMT, while NATO officers were arrested this morning by the Syrian Special Forces in a bunker in East Aleppo."

Fares Shehabi MP, a prominent Syrian Parliamentarian and head of Aleppo's Chamber of Commerce published the names of the Coalition officers on his Facebook page on the 15th December (emphasis added):

Mutaz Kanoğlu - Turkey
David Scott Winer - USA
David Shlomo Aram - Israel
Muhamad Tamimi - Qatar
Muhamad Ahmad Assabian - Saudi
Abd-el-Menham Fahd al Harij - Saudi
Islam Salam Ezzahran Al Hajlan - Saudi
Ahmed Ben Naoufel Al Darij - Saudi
Muhamad Hassan Al Sabihi - Saudi
Hamad Fahad Al Dousri - Saudi
Amjad Qassem Al Tiraoui - Jordan
Qassem Saad Al Shamry - Saudi
Ayman Qassem Al Thahalbi - Saudi
Mohamed Ech-Chafihi El Idrissi - Moroccan

Listen to Fares Shehabi's interview on the Sunday Wire radio show: 'Liberation Aleppo'

In addition to Voltaire.net, the other original report was provided by Damascus-based Syrian journalist Said Hilal Alcharifi. According to Alcharifi, captured "NATO" officers were from a number of member states including the US, France, Germany and Turkey, as well as Israel. Here is his statement (translated from French):

"Thanks to information received, Syrian authorities discovered the headquarters of high ranking western/NATO officers in the basement of an area in East Aleppo and have captured them alive. Some names have already been given to Syrian journalists, myself included. The nationalities are US, French, British, German, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi, Moroccan, Qatari etc. In light of their nationalities and their rank, I assure you that the Syrian government have a very important catch, which should enable them to direct negotiations with the countries that have tried to destroy them."

Although these initial reports describe the individuals in question as "NATO" officers, it's unlikely they would have been carrying NATO colors on a covert operation - and might be more accurately labeled as US Coalition officers. Note that early reports suggest that these are not standard 'street rebel' or jihadi terrorists but actual Coalition military personnel and field commanders.

21WIRE have also received unconfirmed reports yesterday that militants had fired a missile into Ramousa area and then tried, unsuccessfully, to get cars out of East Aleppo. It's possible this incident could be related to today reports of captured western operatives.

This report from the Syrian Arab News Agency (emphasis added):

"The agreement on evacuating militants and weapons from the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo city has been suspended after terrorist groups breached it, special sources told SANA correspondent in Aleppo.

The sources said that the suspension of the agreement will remain in place until obtaining guarantees that oblige the terrorist groups to abide by all the agreement's provisions, stressing on the Syrian side's full adherence to the agreement and its keenness to end the bloodshed and restore security and stability to the entire city of Aleppo."

Earlier, SANA reporter said that the terrorist groups have breached the agreement as they smuggled heavy weapons, including TOW missiles, heavy machineguns and kidnapped people via the buses and cars transporting terrorists and their families towards the southwestern countryside of Aleppo city.

The reporter added that the terrorist groups fired shells and sniper bullets on the buses and ambulances at al-Ramousseh crossing, noting that the Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) which are supervising the evacuation process had to withdraw all buses and cars from the crossing.

Over the past 24 hours, some 8079 terrorists and members of their families were evacuated on ten batches via busses and ambulances from the neighborhoods of Salah-Eddin, al-Ansari, al-Mashhad and al-Zibdiyeh to the southwest countryside of Aleppo city"

If true, then this latest news would also mean that both the Syrian and Russian governments would have additional leverage going forward in any bilateral negotiations with the US-led Coalition.

If, however, this story is kept under wraps by NATO member governments and summarily blacked out by the US and European media outlets, then it might indicate that a deal has been struck, albeit behind the scenes, for the return of captured NATO operatives in exchange for other concessions.

If today's report from East Aleppo is accurate, this might also help explain the hysterical behavior by the US State Department and western UN officials who have been demanding "an immediate ceasefire" - despite the fact that 99% of East Aleppo has already been liberated by Syrian government forces.

The western establishment hysterical reactions to Al Nusra's defeat in Aleppo have included wild claims that the Syrian Army had 'unleashed death squads,' on its own residents in East Aleppo and were openly 'executing women and children in the street,' and 'burning children in the street,' as well what appear to be more fictional reports circulated in US media mainly by Michael Weiss ofThe Daily Beast via CNN,claiming that Syrian Army was committing "mass rape" against residents of East Aleppo. His article entitled, "Women in Aleppo Choose Suicide Over Rape, Rebels Report," made a number of outlandish claims including:

"Activists and rebels in the besieged city say mass executions have begun and children are burned alive as Assad's Iranian- and Russian-backed forces move in."

Not surprisingly, aside from unnamed "UN sources", Weiss claims to have got his information from none other than the discredited US and UK-financed pseudo 'NGO' known as the White Helmets.

Back in September, numerous reports suggested that a western command center located behind terrorist-held lines had been targeted and destroyed by a Russian missile strike. Prof Michel Chossudovsky wrote:

"The US and its allies had established a Field Operations Room in the Aleppo region integrated by intelligence personnel. Until it was targeted by a Russian missile attack on September 20, this "semi-secret" facility was operated by US, British, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi and Qatari intelligence personnel."

This report was neither admitted, nor was it denied by US Coalition sources at the time. However, one mainstream Israeli source,The Times of Israel, did report the incident.

For anyone who has been paying close attention to the Syrian Conflict, seeing NATO special forces or "contractors" working with 'rebel' or terrorist fighters inside of Syria is nothing unusual. Numerous reports have been filed of British soldiers assigned to fighting groups to help with training, strategy and logistics. In June 2016, The Telegraph admitted that British special forces were helping one rebel group, "... with logistics, like building defences to make the bunkers safe," said one 'rebel' fighter. Other reports, including theLA Times which detailed CIA operations used to arm militants, including Al Nusra Front (al Qaeda in Syria) who were the terrorist force in charge in East Aleppo. Other revelations of US covert involvement include The New York Times, and also information on US (NATO by another name only) covert operations provided to the Wall Street Journal.

Throughout fighting in the Donbass in eastern Ukraine, during the period of May 2014 to the present, numerous incidents have been reported where NATO military soldiers and operatives have been both spotted, and captured by rebel forces, and in most cases these reports have been muted, more than likely because of 'horse trading' taking place as an extension of wider diplomacy.

Comment: The Guardian prefaces this photo essay with the following: "Aleppo was Syria's most populous city when the civil war arrived in July 2012, but the conflict has taken a huge toll, with Russian airstrikes since September 2015 causing intense devastation, as these before and after images show."

Bollocks. This is what war does to a country. As if Russia, or even Syria for that matter, had any desire to destroy Aleppo. This is what the U.S. does to Middle Eastern countries. It is what the U.S. has done to Syria. The war never would have happened if not for the U.S. policy to radicalize "opposition" to Bashar al-Assad, to move in foreign jihadis to launch a violent revolution to topple the secular government and install a radical Islamist one in its place.

Is it therefore any wonder that the U.S. are so hated around the world?

	Aleppo retaken in major boost for Assad Maher Al-Mounes AFPDecember 22, 2016 Syrian rebel fighters, are evacuated from Aleppo towards rebel-held territory in the west of Aleppo's province on December 22, 2016 (AFP Photo/GEORGE OURFALIAN) Aleppo (Syria) (AFP) - The army said Thursday it had retaken full control of Syria's devastated second city Aleppo, scoring its biggest victory against opposition forces since the civil war erupted in 2011. The announcement came after a landmark evacuation deal that ended a ferocious month-long offensive waged on east Aleppo by government forces and allied militia. The operation climaxed a battle that lasted nearly four and a half years, and transformed the city into a worldwide symbol of bloodshed and devastation. Thousands of inhabitants in the western part of the city -- which had remained under the regime's control throughout the conflict -- took to the streets, chanting slogans and shouting their jubilation despite extreme cold. Cars crawled along, their drivers sounding their horns, and in city squares, children had the colours of the Syrian flag painted on their cheeks. "Our joy is immense. Life returned to Aleppo today," said lawyer Omar Halli, who predicted "victory over all of Syria." An army statement said the general command "announces the return of security to Aleppo after its release from terrorism and terrorists, and the departure of those who stayed there". A rebel official spoke of a "great loss" for the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad. "On the political level, this is a great loss," Yasser al-Youssef of the Nureddin al-Zinki rebel group told AFP. "For the revolution, it is a period of retreat and a difficult turning point." Referring to Assad's closest allies, Ahmed Qorra Ali of the Ahrar al-Sham rebel group said: "Aleppo is now under the occupation of Russia and Iran." The army announcement came after state television reported that the last convoy of four buses carrying rebels and civilians had left east Aleppo and arrived in the government-controlled Ramussa district south of the city. Earlier, the Red Cross said more than 4,000 fighters had left rebel-held areas in the final stages of the evacuation. - Biggest blow - The loss of east Aleppo is the biggest blow to Syria's rebel movement in the nearly six-year conflict, which has killed more than 310,000 people. It puts the government in control of the country's five main cities: Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Damascus, and Latakia. Syria's conflict began with anti-government protests in March 2011 but spiralled into a civil war after a brutal government crackdown on dissent. It has drawn in proxy powers and attracted foreign jihadists, but successive attempts to negotiate a political solution to the conflict have failed. Assad's victory in Aleppo is a boon for his allies in Moscow and Tehran and a defeat for the opposition's backers, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Western states. Because of the intensity of these global rivalries -- particularly between Russia and the United States -- the international community struggled for years to respond to the bloodshed in Syria. "The liberation of Aleppo is not only a victory for Syria but also for those who really contribute to the fight against terrorism, notably Russia and Iran," state news agency SANA quoted Assad as saying before the army announcement on Thursday. The final stages of the evacuation had been hampered by heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures. "Overnight between Wednesday and Thursday, in one of the last stages of the evacuation, more than 4,000 fighters were evacuated in private cars, vans, and pick-ups from eastern Aleppo," said Ingy Sedky, the spokeswoman in Syria for the International Committee of the Red Cross. She said about 34,000 people had left rebel areas of Aleppo under the evacuation plan. The United Nations said it had deployed observers to monitor the final evacuations, under a Security Council resolution adopted on Monday. - Pivotal moment - Jens Laerke, spokesman for the UN humanitarian agency, said 31 staff had been assigned for monitoring at Ramussa. Rebel forces, who seized east Aleppo in 2012, agreed to withdraw after a month-long army offensive that drove them from more than 90 percent of their former territory. The deal was brokered by Russia, which launched air strikes in support of Assad's regime last year, and Turkey, which has supported the rebels. As part of the Aleppo evacuation deal, it was agreed some residents would be allowed to leave Fuaa and Kafraya, two Shiite-majority villages in northwestern Syria that are under siege by the Sunni Muslim rebels. About 1,000 people have been able to leave the villages in recent days. The evacuation of Aleppo's rebel-held sector was a pivotal moment in a war that has triggered a major humanitarian and refugee crisis. As well as a major strategic gain for Assad, the withdrawal has put the spotlight on the role of powerbrokers Russia, Iran and Turkey, which agreed this week to guarantee new peace talks and backed expanding a ceasefire. - Failed peace efforts - Repeated attempts at peace for Syria have failed, but UN envoy Staffan de Mistura has said he hopes to convene fresh talks in Geneva in February. Formerly the beating heart of Syria's commercial and cultural industries, Aleppo had been split since July 2012 between rebels in the east and the government in the west. East Aleppo became a powerful symbol for Syria's opposition, which set up its own administration to run schools, electricity and water there. Opposition fighters lobbed rockets into government-held territory, and regime forces battered the east with air strikes and artillery. Moscow's military intervention in support of Assad marked a major turning point. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said Thursday the Russian air force has killed 35,000 fighters in Syria since its intervention began in September last year. Turkey launched its own campaign in Syria in late August in support of pro-Ankara rebels, with the aim of ousting Islamic State group jihadists as well as Kurdish militia from areas near its border. Turkish air strikes killed at least 47 civilians including 14 children on Thursday in the IS-held town of Al-Bab, which Turkish forces have been seeking to capture for weeks, a monitoring group said. The raids came a day after 14 Turkish soldiers were killed by jihadists around Al-Bab -- Ankara's biggest loss of the campaign so far. (Yahoo News)

	Pagan ‘Priest of Pan’ Granted Right to Wear Horns in ID Photo for Religious Reasons By Heather Clark on December 19, 2016 MILLINOCKET, Maine — A Maine man who identifies himself as a “priest of Pan” has been granted the right to wear horns on his head for his identification photo because of his assertion that the horns are a part of his religious attire. “As a practicing Pagan minister and a priest of Pan, I’ve come to feel very attached to the horns, and they’ve become a part of me and part of my spirituality,” Phelan Moonsong, 56, told the Washington Post. “The horns are part of my religious attire.” According to reports, Moonsong had been asked by the Bangor Bureau of Motor Vehicles to remove his horns for his photo, and were not persuaded when he stated that he wears the horns as a priest of Pan. According to Greek mythology, Pan was a “god of the wild” and is “depicted as being half human, while having the legs and horns of a goat.” Moonsong says that he told officials that he viewed his horns as his “spiritual antenna,” and was consequently advised to provide documentation as to why his horns were a part of his religion. He obliged by composing a personal outline on the matter and providing other writings on the subject. Bureau officials dispute the facts of the matter as they state that Moonsong had not stated upon his initial visit that the horns were part of his religious attire, and that they never received the submitted documents. “He did not cite religious reasons,” Kristen Muszynski, spokesperson for Maine’s secretary of state, told the Bangor Daily News. “There are exceptions for religious headdress.” The Pan follower says that he has been wearing the horns since 2009 after a friend’s goat died and no one laid claim to its horns. He states he rarely goes anywhere without them. Connect with Christian News Therefore, when officials did not respond to his submissions, he phoned the bureau and advised that he was in contact with the ACLU. His ID card arrived days later. “Many practicing Pagans are afraid of being public, but when they see my horns it reminds them it’s okay to be yourself,” Moonsong told reporters. As previously reported, last November, a Massachusetts “Pastafarian” woman won an appeal to wear a colander on her head for her driver’s license photo as officials said that it would be permitted since the strainer didn’t cover her face. A professing atheist woman in Utah similarly was allowed to wear a colander on her head, asserting that she wanted to make a statement in doing so. However, a Georgia Pastafarian was refused, being told that the headgear is not acceptable and that “Pastafarian is not actually a religion. Rather, it is a philosophy that mocks religion.” “DDS (The Department of Driver’s Services) does not view satire or mockery of religion as a religion,” the state wrote in a denial letter. The “Pastafarism” movement began in 2005 when American founder Bobby Henderson sent an open letter to the Kansas Board of Education to express his opposition to its decision to allow the teaching of Intelligent Design as an alternative to evolution, mocking biblical Creation with the concept of a “spaghetti monster.” (christiannews.net)

Comment: Update (Dec. 19): Syria's UN envoy, Bashar al-Jaafari read the names of these foreign military and intelligence officers at a UN press conference today, saying they are currently in E. Aleppo strongholds and trying to escape. Here's the relevant part (full video here): As Jaafari says, this is the reason for the hysterics from the West over the past days (and weeks, and months). Ever since Aleppo was encircled, the Western military "instructors" embedded with terrorists groups were trapped. The West and its allies desperately wanted to get them out and avoid a PR nightmare. They failed. Jaafari: "We are going to catch them and show them to you." We highly recommend readers watch Jaafari's full Q&A session. Despite the utter seriousness of the topics, he absolutely slams several of the ignorant journalists with some hilarious responses. To one question about the foreign military officers, he corrects the journalist, saying, "No, no, they are 'Syrian moderate opposition' - genetically modified." Update: Rodney Atkison at Novorossia Today writes: 230 US Army instructors and 54 British troops, 8 French and two Dutch artillery specialists were trapped in Aleppo with ISIS jihadists by Syrian and Russian forces. The Americans asked the Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov to keep this quiet - for obvious reasons! I have this from a reliable source. (sott.net)
