Assad’s Obscene Opulence And His “Machinery of death” Exposed, As Mass Graves Are Exhumed

Whenever you hear about a dictator who refuses to leave office after very many years in office or tries to rig himself or herself back to power by hook or crook, know that such a leader is doing something despicable and is afraid to be found out until he or she dies or is forced to leave office.
That is the case of the Assad family.
Therefore when Israel shook the roots of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah just at a time that Russia is embroiled in its difficult war with Ukraine, the Syrian leadership lost the support of it’s external backers and therefore crumbled like a pack of cards within a short while.
As Bashir al-Assad hurriedly fled into exile, opening up it’s bullet proof palace of obscene luxury in the midst of the suffering of the people of the country became a priority for the rebels that forced the rotten regime into a hurried collapse.
Israel that the people were made to hate suddenly became cherished liberators.
And see what they found according to a report by Foreign Policy:
Recently discovered mass graves in Syria are evidence of a state-run “system of state terror, which became a machinery of death” under ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an international war crimes prosecutor said on Tuesday.
According to Stephen Rapp, a former U.S. war crimes ambassador at large who is now working to help document atrocities in Syria, more than 100,000 people were tortured and killed under the Assad regime.
“We really haven’t seen anything quite like this since the Nazis,” said Rapp, who previously led prosecutions at both the Rwanda and Sierra Leone war crimes tribunals.
Since the Syrian civil war began in 2011, tens of thousands of people have been imprisoned by the Assad regime, including many who were forcibly disappeared and some of whom experts believe were tortured or killed.
“I don’t have much doubt about those kinds of numbers given what we’ve seen in these mass graves,” Rapp said after viewing two mass graves in the towns of Qutayfah and Najha near the Syrian capital of Damascus.
Syrian rebels who have since taken control of Damascus have vowed to bring members of Assad’s administration to justice. U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Tuesday that Washington is in talks with several United Nations agencies to make sure that Syrians receive answers and accountability.
That is how the dynamics of evil regimes rot from within and crumble under a little shake, as they flee from their bullet proof doors in their palaces.
