Damascus has fallen. Unverified reports say President Assad and top officials have fled to Dubai or elsewhere but the situation overnight is fluid and anything but clear in terms of the location of top leadership. They may be in Latakia on the coast, or headed there. What is clear, however, is that the jihadists have entered the heart of the capital.
This brings to an end the last secular and Baathist state in the Middle East, and 50+ years of Assad family rule. Journalist Danny Makki, who is currently in Damascus, observes:
Literally Syrian military/security around Damascus just fled, ran away, changed into civilian clothes escaped, there was no battle for Damascus, it was abandoned and by tommorow it will be all under opposition control.
one less middle east dictator, the problem now is that those who will be in power loves to chop heads of the infidel.
christians,alawites,shias, druze all seems to be in trouble now

I've heard Francis Bacon's name thrown around too. I don't suggest to know who the author(s) were but I've seen enough to make me question it being one guy.
We all know that history has been manipulated greatly so not really surprising at all.
