The flooding of Europe by countless waves of refugees may be the result of the strategic depopulation of Syria carried out by opponents of the countrys government, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has suggested.
Transparency organization WikiLeaks has looked through its diplomatic cables and unearthed an interesting speculation about the refugee movement, Assange said in an interview with Geek news site, ThePressProject.
So, the speculation was this: Occasionally opponents of a country would engage in strategic depopulation, which is to decrease the fighting capacity of a government, he explained.
The whistleblower pointed out that its predominantly the middle class that is fleeing Syria on account of having language skills, money, some connections. Engineers, managers and civil servants are precisely, the classes that ...[are] needed to keep the government functioning, he said.
Syrian people are encouraged to flee their country by Germany saying theyll accept many-many refugees, and by Turkey taking nearly three million refugees, thus significantly weakening the Syrian government, Assange stressed.
Syria isnt the only case of migration being used as a weapon in recent history; during the Iraq War, Sweden told the US that the acceptance of Iraqi refugees was part of its contribution, according to cables.
The WikiLeaks founder said that its a disgrace that the US refuses to take in Syrian refuges because its Washington who should be held accountable for the hundreds of thousands of people arriving in Europe and making EU states close its borders with one other.
The situation comes about as a result of the US, UK and French policy in the Middle East together with the behavior of US regional allies in the Middle East Qatar, Turkey, Jordan and Israel and Saudi Arabia, he said.
The intercepted documents, already published by WikiLeaks, revealed that the US had been plotting to overthrow the Syrian government since around 2006, Assange stressed.
It was trying to make the Syrian government paranoid trying to get it to overreact by instilling that fear and paranoia; trying to make it worried about coups; trying to stir up sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shias trying to stop foreign investment in Syria and secretly funding a variety of NGOs in Syria also to make trouble, using the Saudis and Egypt to help push that along, he said.
LISTEN MORE:
Meanwhile any of Assads attempts to battle terrorism and the expansion of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) strength were presented as a demonstration of weakness and an example of [the] Syrian government not having full control over its territory to encourage the government overthrow, the whistleblower added.
Assange stressed that the people in America have nothing to gain from the Syrian conflict, but only particular factions that pushed for it might believe that they will benefit in the end.
Of course, the CIA perceives they have a benefit. They create a problem and then theyre given a greater budget to clean the problem up. Similarly, with the contractors, arms dealers and arms manufacturers. If theres no problem then their budgets are cut. So they create problems, Assange explained.
