Press TV has conducted an interview with E. Michael Jones, editor of Culture Wars Online Magazine from South Bend, about Western countries opposing Syria’s presidential election.

Press TV: Well we are seeing that it appears on the ground that the election went quite well. However, what we are hearing from the West whether it is from the European capitals or from the United States is basically condemnation of the holding of this election.

Why would that be the case if the people have turnout or if this is what the Syrian people want, then why would these Western capitals condemn holding this election?

Jones: Well, you have to understand democracy according to the principles of the West and that is basically if the people do not choose the candidates that the elites in the West want, then it is not a fair election and it is not valid. So for example Hamas, when the Palestinians chose Hamas that was rejected even though the people chose it.

A more recent example with the Ukraine, the Yanukovych government was democratically elected, everyone recognized that. All of these powers that are now condemning Syria all recognized that and yet what they had is when Victoria Nuland in the State Department decided that they did not like this [person] because he signed the pact with Russia, then they orchestrated demonstrations and suddenly that democratic election was invalid. So it all depends on outcomes.

Now for three years the United States has been supporting these Takfiri liver-eating rebels and that means that the other side is ipso facto illegitimate. So no matter what they do they are wrong because the United States is backing the other side.

Press TV: Well, with the situation now after and since the election has been held and although the West now is continuing condemning the holding of the election, then you think that they are basically going to change their minds and how they are supporting the opposition in Syria or do you think things will not, it will continue as it has been for these three years? 

Jones: I think the election won’t make a bit of difference to the powers who are orchestrating these wars. I think the main difference is going to be on the battlefield and at a certain point they will get weary or else they are going to escalate.

John Kerry took office and said he wasn’t really giving them - the rebels - sophisticated weapons, now he has changed his mind. I think that basically Syria is the function of the Ukraine and the Ukraine is a function of Syria. Both are avenues into the Eurasia landmass that the Angelo American Empire is trying to subdue for over a century now.

So I would say that when things get stalemated in the Ukraine, then the war will heat up in Syria and vice versa and I think that is what we saw just this past year. Ukraine became important because Obama stalemated the situation in Syria when it agreed to work with Vladimir Putin on the poison gas attack.

Press TV: What you are saying Mr. Jones is very frightening if any people look at it from an analytical perspective. Are you saying that it does not matter how many lives are sacrificed, how many people are killed, how many countries are destroyed but as long as it benefit the elite, Western elites, then it does not matter?

Jones: I think that history has shown that is the case. We are talking about a hundred year long struggle to control the primitive civilization, the Eurasian landmass and I think what happened over this past year is that it failed, that Victoria Nuland’s attempt to bring the Ukraine into the European Union not only failed but it backfired. The West lost the Crimea, Russia stood up and now we are seeing a reversal of the whole unipolar world.

The very thing that they wanted to prevent, namely the alliance of countries in the Eurasia landmasses, is what they brought about. So I think this is an example of what Hegel would call the "cunning of reason" where wicked man overreach and bring about God’s plan.
