THE MILLENNIUM REPORT: Reporting the Most Important News in the World Today

TMR Editor’s Note:
The Alawites have been VERY good friends with the Christian communities throughout Syria for centuries.  They practice a religion that has assimilated some of the more mystical aspects of Christianity, as well as Sufism and traditional Shiite Islam.  

They are only being used as human shields because Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s family comes form a long line of Alawites.  Hence, the rebels know that Assad would not permit the Russian airstrikes that would put his fellow Alawites in harm’s way. The following link reveals much more of the elusive back story.

Syria’s Bashar al-Assad: Secret Back Story Reveals Why The West Cannot Topple His Government

The question remains: Just who are these repugnant cowards who would use innocent women in this manner?

Much more importantly, why is the USA still funding and arming these anti-Christian mercenary rebels from other lands?  And, how does Obama justify the material and moral support of such an odious group of terrorists?

Women loyal to President Assad in a besieged region of Damascus are being paraded in metal cages in the hope of preventing further air-strikes raining down on a stricken suburb of the Syrian capital.

Almost 500 Alawites – male and female – have been rounded up by Army of Islam militants and are now being held captive in the cubed jails mounted on the back of flat-bed trucks and pick-ups.

The city of Douma has been pulverised by daily attacks by Russian and Syrian bombing raids.

Almost 500 Alawites – male and female – have been rounded up by Army of Islam militants and are now being held captive in the cubed jails mounted on the back of flat-bed trucks and pick-ups

However, the locals see this extreme retaliation as the only way of ensuring the airborne attacks are ended – as it would mean President Assad targeting his own supporters.

At least 100 cages are now being used to ferry the hostages around the city, in the Eastern Ehouta region.

Videos of the trucks have been shared on YouTube and clearly show terrified women helpless inside the thick metal fencing.

Panicked men are also seen asking to be released from their enclosures.

However, the rebel groups continue to parade the trapped hostages, driving through streets where dozens of buildings have been reduced to rubble by bombing campaigns.

One woman, Mervat Ali, from Qardaha, can be heard saying: ‘We wish that the Russian warplanes never shell civilians again.

‘We are experiencing fear here with the people.’

Humanitarian group Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) have confirmed that at least 70 people were killed and 500 injured in a series of horrific air-strikes against Douma on Friday.

Panicked men are also seen asking to be released from their enclosures, with up to ten squeezed in to each of the cages at a time

Human Rights Watch slammed the latest action by rebels on the ground, alleging that similar caging tactics were used in the Shia village of Fue, in the north of the country, last month

The group’s principal hospital was also hit in the attack, with a further six people killed by shelling on Monday.

Strikes against Douma killed 550 people during their peak in August. More than 120 of those who died were children.

Middle East director Nadim Houry told The Times: ‘Two wrongs do not make a right.

‘You can’t protect civilians by endangering other civilians.’

He added: ‘There has to be real action by international actors.’

      I remember when the Arab Spring movement into SDyria was going on and about a month into it the “Rebels ” were hiding behind children as they moved in buses. Nothing new with these creeps.
      These same kind of creeps are being imported into every state of the USA as well as every nation of Europe.
      Shariah Law in the the Quran / Also see THE HIJRAH
      So I guess as good Muslims you do not obey the following: ?
      Surah 9:5 / Surah 5:33 / Surah 47:4 / Surah 4:95 / Surah 8:15-17/ Surah 8:74
      Surah 47:4 =extortion or DEATH / Surah 61:10 / Surah 3:157 / Surah 2:216-217 / Surah 5:35 Surah 8:39 ( Keep fighting until Islam is the only religion) / Surah 8:57
      Surah 9:29 / Surah 48:16 / Surah12:9-14 / Surah 47:35 / Surah 48:29
      Commanding all Muslims to murder everyone that does not join the fight to kill all others that do not follow Islam. That this is the only way that Alla will grant you salvation.

      “Much more importantly, why is the USA still funding and arming these anti-Christian mercenary rebels from other lands? And, how does Obama justify the material and moral support of such an odious group of terrorists?”

      Very much the questions, bottom line questions that are, in fact, rhetorical as to how it speaks to our times. It’s as if we’re now facilitators of America’s worst enemies, and how offensive can this be to the victims of 9/11 and soldiers killed or crippled in Afghanistan? Think of the names of serial killers, Gacy, Bundy, Dahmer… these ISIS monsters make such criminals look, as if, small scale amateurs.

      This really is a high water mark of evil in high places, before our eyes, and an entire government impotent to do what is right and just. What we’re seeing is the end of civilization, to our shame.

      Genesis 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

      Luke 17

      26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
      27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
      28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
      29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

      Did anybody see that story about the Muslim truck drivers, who refused to deliver alcohol, were disciplined, but then successfully sued the trucking company? Yet a Christian baker is prosecuted. Right here on American soil. Even so, you don’t really hear of much of anybody incensed over such things. We apparently are quite comfortable, being openly ruled by Satan. And now Iran is our new best friend. Well, folks, just lots of luck with that.

      We should have poster size photos and stand in front of the White House with signs saying, “This is how Barack’s buddies will treat YOU!”
