HTS and Its PR Machine: The "Tie Syndrome" and the Art of Manufactured Legitimacy

From day one of taking power, HTS has had a PR operation running in the background, monitoring every criticism thrown at the new administration, whether it comes from inside Syria or outside, and spinning its way out of each one: press releases, walk-backs, clarifications, flat-out denials.

But there is one thing they have never touched. Al-Sharaa, the interim president, has been spotted wearing watches worth tens of thousands of dollars apiece, even that syrians are struggling through one of the worst economic situations in the country's modern history, people criticized him for it, and he did not care. He kept showing up in different watches, pricier each time. Now the same thing is playing out with Al-Muhaysini.

None of this is random. It fits a very deliberate pattern, I like to call it the "Tie Syndrome". The point is to send a signal to the international community and public opinion: these jihadists have moved on. They care about money now. (Anyone who has spent his life in Sunni communities will assure you that the probability of a hardline Salafist jihadist changing his ideology is virtually nil, but wonders are happening according to Qatari-backed hypocrites )

The jihadist ideology they spent their entire lives inside is supposedly in the rearview mirror. There is also a survival element to it. Nobody wants to end up like Sami Al-Aridi, who was reportedly taken out recently in a drone strike by CENTCOM in #Idlib.

And it gives Qatari-backed "researchers" exactly the talking point they need, that the former Al-Qaeda leader and terrorist has left jihad behind.

But let's be clear about what this actually is. This is not religious hypocrisy. It is not some genuine ideological evolution from jihad to chasing a comfortable life. This is a con aimed squarely at the international community. And they are not even pulling it off on their own. Someone is building this image for them and selling it to the world on their behalf.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 US-Ukrainian Drone Campaign Targeting Crimea

▪️US directed drone strikes on Russia include specifically a campaign targeting Crimea including logistics to the peninsula - highways, ferries, and bridges, but also fuel storage and transport;

▪️This has triggered a fuel crisis for the civilian population but will have no direct impact on Russian military operations along the line of contact;

▪️The primary purpose of punishing the civilian population of Crimea is to force Russia to divert military resources there to alleviate the crisis and thus spread Russian forces thin elsewhere;

▪️No matter how bad the crisis becomes for civilians in Crimea, Ukraine lacks the manpower to actually take any of the territory it is attacking;

▪️In addition to diverting resources to Crimea, the campaign feeds into the larger propaganda campaign US-enabled/directed drone strikes across all of Russia are committed to;

▪️In all, it may slow Russian forces down and raise the cost further for Russia regarding the entire war, but it will not change the ultimate outcome at this point;

▪️It should be remembered that proxy war with Russia in Ukraine was a 2019 RAND Corporation "Extending Russia" policy option designed specifically to create tremendous costs for Russia, not necessarily defeat Russia;

The UK government has capped help for disabled people and their families. The most vulnerable in British society.

But has billions to send the corrupt regime in Kiev for their failing proxy war on Russia

It really is disgusting.

It’s the same old story: childhood trauma, fractured minds and the gradual acceptance of something taking over. The alien narrative is a hoax, but don’t let that distract you. Something real is happening. Through AI and new technologies, humanity is slowly being taught to merge with something outside itself. The world isn’t preparing for an invasion from space, it’s being prepared for possession. – Source
