SWIFT, the international inter-bank remittance system, reconnected the Syrian banking system to its system, but only after Al Qaeda HTS terrorists took over the Syrian banks, including the Central Bank of Syria.
The transaction, the first in 14 years, was carried out earlier this week between a Syrian-based bank and an Italian bank through SWIFT, the Al Qaeda HTS-appointed governor of the Syrian Central Bank confirmed, adding: ‘The door is now open to more such transactions.’
The USA and its European lackeys banned Syrian-based banks and financial institutions from all connections with the world under their control under the false claims that the Syrian government of President Bashar Al Assad was oppressing its own people, the ban caused the enormous suffering of ordinary Syrians as it impacted their ability to trade with the world even in food and medicine, the two items the Western regimes claim were exempted from their illegal sanctions.
Yet, the so-called sanctions were lifted by the Western regimes when Al Qaeda HTS, comprised mostly of foreign terrorists, took over the last secular country in one of the costliest regime change wars for Israel carried out by the fading empire of evil.
SWIFT is the acronym for the ‘Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication’, headquartered near Brussels in Belgium, is largely controlled by the FBI and its European allies allowing them to monitor its transactions between more than 11,000 banks across more than 200 countries and territories, under the excuse of monitoring criminal, terrorist, and money laundering transactions especially for amounts exceeding the equivalent of US$ 10,000.
The overt monitoring by the US-based spying agencies came to being after the debated 9/11 attacks which was allegedly carried out by Al Qaeda against the US world trade twin 1 and 2 WTC towers and the third 7 WTC that fell by itself later on that day in solidarity with its sister towers, which was, coincidentally, sold to a Zionist Jewish strong supporter of Israel less than 2 months before the ‘terrorist’ attack.
Worth noting that the US and EU-controlled SWIFT also banned Russian banks as a punishment for the Russian ‘unprovoked’ ‘invasion’ of Ukraine, and it practically bans the Afghanistan banking system in compliance with US and European so-called sanctions against the country after Taliban took over, but seems fine with Al Qaeda HTS financial transactions.
US-led NATO-sponsored Al Qaeda HTS terrorists took over Syria after 14 years of a bloody war of terror carried out by tens of thousands of terrorists of Al Qaeda, HTS, ISIS and their affiliates with the help of their Western sponsors and the inaction or little actions by Syria’s presumed allies in defending itself against terrorism. Syria was also under the most brutal regime of sanctions imposed by the same sponsors of Al Qaeda HTS terrorists, the war that cost US and European taxpayers and their Arab proxies hundreds of billions of dollars and euros, and waves of refugees from the entire global south.

Surprised? Not at all. I wrote about SWIFT-deals with ISIS (enabled by the German chancellor Mrs. Merkel and the EU) back in 2015. My deja-vu has a reference: https://syrianews.cc/west-fights-isis-swift-look/
For that article, I then faced some truly refreshing contact with the German Political Police. They could not imagine that an acedemic was able to do some research. How dare you to find out about our dirty jobs!
Nothing new under the sun!
Thank you, Arabi, for bringing it up.
The Imperial Anatomy of Al-Qaeda. The CIA’s Drug-Running Terrorists and the “Arc of Crisis”
Part 1 examines the origins of the intelligence network known as the Safari Club, which financed and organized an international conglomerate of terrorists, the CIA’s role in the global drug trade, the emergence of the Taliban and the origins of al-Qaeda.
I asked Gemini, Google’s AI about the sale of WTC 7, and this was its reply:
“In July 2001, Larry Silverstein, through his company Silverstein Properties, signed a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center complex, which included 7 World Trade Center. The deal was finalized on July 24, 2001, for an estimated $3.2 billion on a present value basis.
Larry Silverstein is an American businessman, born in Brooklyn, New York. There is no information in the provided context to suggest he holds dual nationality.
Regarding his stance toward Zionism, the provided information indicates that Larry Silverstein is a long-time supporter of various philanthropic endeavors, including those within the Jewish community. He has spoken emotionally about Israel and Israel Bonds, stating on his first trip to Israel, he “realized this was an exquisite country… and seeing firsthand the impact that Israel Bonds had, I became very involved.” In 1989, he proposed to members of the Israeli government that a free trade zone should be created within the Negev region of Israel, a project that ultimately failed but had popular support among leading Israeli political figures. These actions suggest a supportive stance towards Israel.” – end of Gemini’s reply.
I don’t believe in coincidences that come in patterns and that serve evil political agendas.
