January 11, 2006

Farid Ghadry and his Reform Party of Syria, it turns out, are connected at the hip to Jack Abramoff, the super Israel Settler supporter who raised over $100,000 to buy sharpshooter equipment and night-vision goggles for militant settlers in the West Bank to shoot Palestinians. (Thanks to Michelle Zimney, who sent this to me.)
One investigator, eager to obtain information about the neocon-sponsored "Reform Party of Syria," led by Farid Ghadry, the Syrian version of Ahmed Chalabi, stumbled on the Abramoff connection:

"When repeated calls to organization went unanswered, I visited the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the RFP. Reform Party of Syria is the office of 'super-Zionist' lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Middle Gate Ventures, Abramoff's political advisory company' partners with RFP."

The Reform Party of Syria is a front organization for Israeli interests in the Levant, and is supported by an impressive constellation of neoconservative stars. Regime change, effected by a U.S. invasion and occupation of Syria and Lebanon, is the one and only item at the top of this gang's agenda, and it comes as no surprise that Abramoff's ill-gotten gains went to funding it.



Ghadry denies the whole thing and threatens to "sue the publisher of these lies" (not me)

SyriaComment.com Blog has some interesting follow-up on the entire situation.
