RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS: BASHAR AL ASSAD, PRESIDENT OF SYRIA, HAS BEEN KILLED TODAY IN LATAKYJA WITH HIS WIFE AND TWO PEOPLE.

[concerned about politics]

I have difficulty imagining that his replacement will be better for America

The Muslim Brotherhood, home of Osoma Bin Laden, is already there. They've taken over the most of the middle east already - and they're being funded with our tax dollars and supported by our military.

The 10, standing with pomp and glitter, head for their vaults.
The people, angry and in disarray, loot the shops.
Which of these knew in advance? The eagle? The bear? The crown? The sun?
No, fate was not a consideration for this race.

Next to be felled; Iran, Saudi Arabia, USA
///
i’d say Gulf states. emirates. Jordan.
...Crown Prince of Saudi is already a muslim brotherhood supporter. maybe wishes to be the next righteous caliph...

[donozark]

Nothing on Reuters or Aljazeera yet...As of 10-08AM Central.

[wiggen]

ZeroHedge says it’s fake.

“Out of the frying pan and into the fire”

The frying pan of Assad vs. the fire of the Muslim Brotherhood, et al.

I've asked the mods to pull this thread from Breaking News as the report is not yet confrmed elsewhere. The Twitter account may be a hoax. If so, they put a lot of work in to it. The list of Twitter accounts it follows is what one would expect for a foreign government press account.

[Never on my watch]

Not confirmed anywhere else.

I heard it was a snowboarding accident.

[null and void]

What happens when the “Rebels” get those?

Gassing Jews is an old game any satan worshiper, be they Nazis or muzzies or___, can play...

[BigSkyFreeper]

There’s a good possibility that Twitter account is fake.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Not even RT is reporting it.

[nuconvert]

Waiting for confirmation....then I’ll have a celebration cookie.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Think Assad was bad? Just wait until the Islamo-Nazi Muslim Brotherhood takes power. When they have taken over all of the countries near Israel they’ll attack.

IT’s FAKE, FOLKS....

A Bunch Of People Are Getting Duped By This Fake Twitter Account That’s Saying Syrian President Assad Is Dead

Folks, there’s a blatantly fake twitter account that has a grand total of 6 tweets that is spreading nonsense about Syrian President Assad and his family being killed.

The Twitter account’s bio is: VLADIMIR KOLOKOLTSEV, Minister of Interior of Russian Federation. Official Twitter Account, but that means nothing. There have been several similar fakes over the past year or so spewing fake news (usually about the mideast).

They accumulate followers each time, and then they switch names and handles (very easy to do) making it look like the account has a legacy and history of being real.

If the Russians announced it, I suspect they know a lot more about it than the CIA does. Obummer wouldn’t have the cajones to order it.

Reuters on Twitter: Russian interior ministry denies issuing any statement on Assad's health via Twitter. Watch http://Reuters.com for more. 11:18 AM - 6 Aug 12 via web

BTW, Reuters' Twitter account was hacked this weekend...

Darn....no cookie for me

[Liberty Valance]

Thanks.

Darn. I was hoping it was more reliable than CBS.

Oh wait, it was...

The bad guys (or,perhaps,the *worse* guys) clearly won in Egypt.Let’s see if the same is true here.If it is,watch out Lebanon...watch out Israel!
