Biggest Liars of the Syrian War Analysts: Weiss and Lister

 In early to mid 2013, ISIS (also called ISIL or Islamic State) was allied to western backed rebels of the Free Syrian Army. This fact was accepted by western "Syria analysts" Michael Weiss and Charles Lister at the time as evidenced by their tweets to that effect. However, infighting began among the rebels and ISIS in late 2013 to early 2014 which caught these analysts off guard. By 2014 with the ISIS invasion of Iraq, ISIS had completely fallen out of favor with these analysts. They began a new narrative, one that said ISIS was never allied to the western backed rebels and was instead allied to "the Assad regime" all along.

Charles Lister, one of the biggest cheerleaders of rebel forces in Syria. He seems to pragmatically admire ISIS for their effectiveness against the Syrian military.















Michael Weiss, arguably the biggest liar of the Syrian analysts. He accepts ISIS and the Syrian military are enemies in 2013 and rebels are the ally of ISIS. This opinion will soon change as he wrote an entire book dedicated to blaming the Syrian government for the existence of ISIS. Michael has gone from "ISIS is allied to rebels" in the tweets below to "ISIS and the Syrian military are allies" or even "The Syrian Army never fights ISIS." H even calls Syrian and Russia "The air force of ISIS."










Weiss has since deleted these tweets to cover for his current narrative.



The switch up in the months/years after the ISIS/rebel breakup. It is clear they know they are lying about the history of ISIS, FSA and the Syrian army. They simply don't care.







The bestselling piece of propaganda in which Weiss spreads his lies about the origin and nature of ISIS.


Western Consumers who don't know any better now believe these lies.
