The vetting crisis in the Trump administration doesn’t only extend to staffers, but it also extends to US ambassadors.

Tom Barrack, the billionaire real estate mogul turned U.S. Special Envoy to Syria and Ambassador to Turkey, faces mounting scrutiny over his prioritizing of Islamic foreign interests over American values, and his brazen enabling of jihadist violence that undermines U.S. credibility in the Middle East.

Tom Barrack Is A DISASTROUS Diplomatic Appointment Who Enables Jihadist Expansion In The Middle East

Barrack, a longtime political fundraiser with ties to Gulf monarchies, lacks traditional diplomatic or national security credentials.

His appointment to high-level diplomatic posts is alarming, given that his primary expertise lies in leveraging political connections for financial gain. His lack of regional expertise and deep financial ties to foreign regimes make him unfit for roles shaping U.S. policy in volatile regions like Syria.

In 2021, Barrack was indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice for acting as an unregistered foreign agent for the United Arab Emirates, accused of using his access to the Trump administration to advance Emirati interests. The charges highlighted encrypted communications, undisclosed financial ties to UAE and Qatari sovereign wealth funds, and attempts to influence U.S. policy without proper disclosure.

Though acquitted in 2022, the trial exposed Barrack’s extensive connections to Gulf states and raised questions about his loyalty. “The acquittal didn’t clear his name—it exposed his playbook,” said a former State Department official, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the matter.

Syria: A Foreign Policy Disaster

As Special Envoy to Syria, Barrack has been accused of whitewashing atrocities committed by Al-Qaeda-linked factions, such as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and rebranding them as “tribal militias” to shield Qatar- and Turkey-backed groups.

Sources in IC tell me he ignored Israeli intelligence warnings about an impending massacre of Druze civilians in Suwayda, Syria, and later condemned IDF operations targeting jihadist convoys, deflecting blame from the perpetrators. The consequences were catastrophic.

In Suwayda, hundreds of Druze civilians were reportedly raped, mutilated, and executed by HTS-led forces. Since Julani’s massacre, leaked communications reveal Barrack’s office attempted to shift blame to Israel for Julani’s ISIS inspired killings of the Druze.

Barrack has falsely claimed that HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani’s forces were “not even in the city”. His claim has been contradicted by video evidence and survivor testimonies. Captured Syrian soldiers admitted to donning ISIS and Sunni Bedouin garb to carry out systematic executions of Druze women and children, with survivors identifying Julani’s forces as the attackers.

Tom Barrack Has A Pattern of Alleged Corruption

Barrack has a history of opaque financial dealings and what many view as political influence peddling.

His real estate empire, intertwined with Gulf investments, has long raised concerns about conflicts of interest and whether he is truly serving America, or if he is flashing his political access.

His tenure as ambassador to Turkey has drawn particular ire for aligning U.S. policy with Turkish and Qatari interests, including shielding Islamist proxies like the Muslim Brotherhood.

Such actions betray U.S. allies like Israel and undermine efforts to counter jihadist expansion in the Levant.

For the sake of US national security, Tom Barrack should face immediate removal from his diplomatic roles.

I understand many in the Trump admin view Barrack as a friend, & even a donor, so let him go back to being just that, instead of an Ambassador.

Barrack’s actions have cost lives and eroded America’s moral standing. His continued enabling of Julani is a threat to US national security and all non-Muslim religious minorities.

 

Selv om det har roet seg noe, har ikke volden tatt slutt. Selv om den drusiske fristaten "godkjennes", har ikke det islamistiske opprørsregimet gitt opp, det lanseres raid dypt inn i Suwayda som dertil settes under total blokade. Så langt er drusere isolert fordi Trump hindrer Netanyahu fra å gripe inn, og syriskkurderne nektet å la seg avvæpnes med meget gode grunner. Men dette ville ikke Trump-regimet høre snakk om til tross for at mange i USA hadde reagert Barracks atferd.

Ikke bevist, men overbevisene. Hva slags folk er det som styrer Syria nå og hvilken bakgrunn har de? Hva er deres ideologi?

Igjen, jeg prøver å forholde meg til fakta, og enn så lenge er det ingenting som indikerer at den syriske regjeringen forsøkte å begå folkemord mot druserne. 

Sitat

Nei, amerikanernes helt ekstreme kunnskapsmangel når det gjelder verden utenfor USA er ganske så velkjent. Som når de gjennom flere tiår har heiet på kriger i land de ikke kan peke ut på kartet. Men nå har faktisk en amerikansk statsborger blitt myrdet av HTS-milits som lenket til i denne tråden så da har vel USA et ansvar for hvordan de sansksjoner dette regimet?

Den nye regjeringen er pro-Tyrkia og anti-Iran. USA vil ha gode relasjoner med Tyrkia og begrense iransk innflytelse i regionen. Så lenge dette er status quo, så vil det ikke komme sanksjoner mot Syria som kan true posisjonen til den nye regjeringen (med forbehold om at Trump ikke gjør noe impulsivt, så klart).

Han sa så.

[...]Laura Elizabeth Loomer is an American far-right political activist, conspiracy theorist, and internet personality.

Loomer has worked as an activist for several organizations, including Project Veritas, the Geller Report, Rebel News, and InfoWars.
She has described herself as being "pro-white nationalist" and a "proud Islamophobe", repeatedly making racist and anti-Muslim statements in public settings.
She currently hosts a show, Loomer Unleashed, streaming weekly on Rumble.

Loomer has gained notoriety as a result of being banned from numerous social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, payment processors, vehicles for hire, and food delivery mobile apps for various reasons, including violating policies on hate speech and posting misinformation.
Loomer has also been banned and removed from events, and had press credentials revoked, for harassment and causing disturbances.Donald Trump sought to hire Loomer for his presidential campaign, but his senior campaign advisors successfully discouraged Trump from doing so.
By September 2024, some Trump supporters and others had expressed concerns about Loomer's continuing presence around and influence on Trump.

During the second presidency of Donald Trump, Loomer emerged as an influential actor, using her social media platform to call for the firing of officials she deems insufficiently loyal to Trump.
In early April 2025, reports emerged that Loomer influenced President Trump to dismiss more than half a dozen national security officials due to her suspicions of their disloyalty to him, and she also advocated for additional firings

[...]Loomer has falsely claimed that the Parkland high school shooting, and the Santa Fe High School shooting, were staged, and that Stephen Paddock, the perpetrator of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, was affiliated with ISIS.
She claimed on Twitter that crisis actors were used for the Santa Fe school shooting.

In July 2018, Loomer said that a man arrested in South Dakota with bomb-making equipment and illegal weapons had been a "leftist antifa terrorist".
According to the man's social media activity at the time, and per his brother, he was a conservative who despised liberals and Antifa.
During the October 2018 United States mail bombing attempts, Loomer falsely said that the bombing attacks were a "false flag" operation orchestrated by Democrats.

After the 2022 Buffalo shooting, which was carried out by a white supremacist, Loomer falsely claimed that the shooting was a hoax perpetuated by the Democratic Party in an attempt to start a race war.
Loomer further suggested that the federal government was complicit in the shooting.

In 2023, Loomer accused Casey DeSantis, wife of presidential candidate and Trump competitor Ron DeSantis, of exaggerating her bout with breast cancer to boost her husband's presidential campaign.

Following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, Loomer and other right-wing influencers amplified a false story claiming that October 13, 2023, was to be a global "day of jihad", a story that motivated a 71-year-old landlord in Illinois to stab to death a 6-year-old boy and attempt to murder his Muslim mother who were his tenants.
After a fatal car crash in Long Beach on October 14, Loomer said that the crash was "Islamic terrorism", claiming that police had a gag order.
Police later stated there was "no indication that this incident was an act of terror nor associated with the current violence in Israel".

In November 2023, Loomer was part of a study by the Atlantic Council, analyzed by Bloomberg, of Community Notes on Twitter regarding misinformation in the Gaza war.
On October 12, she shared a video of a "pro-Hamas caravan" that had driven through London shouting racist abuse, implying the incident was recent.
The video was, in fact, from May 2021, and police had made arrests after the incident.
Loomer also tweeted false information about the 2023 Rainbow Bridge explosion in Buffalo, New York.
She claimed the Federal Bureau of Investigation suspected a terrorist attack and that there may be a "Jihad plot" at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, despite the vehicle traveling on the U.S. side of the border towards Canada.

Loomer falsely claimed that a winter storm that occurred before the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses was created by the American deep state using High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) in order to benefit the electoral chances of presidential candidate Nikki Haley.
In October 2024, in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Loomer amplified false claims of FEMA aid being denied entry into impacted areas in North Carolina.
Loomer later urged individuals on X not to accept help from FEMA.

In 2023 and 2024, Loomer falsely attributed social media posts to family members of judges Arthur Engoron and Juan Merchan, who were overseeing court cases involving Donald Trump.
Loomer inaccurately claimed these family members had called for Trump's imprisonment on social media.
Loomer's misinformation was amplified by Trump to support his claims that Engoron and Merchan were biased against him.
Loomer further falsely claimed that Merchan's daughter was receiving checks from congressional Democrats, a claim shared by Representative Elise Stefanik.

In July 2024, Loomer falsely claimed on X that "Joe Biden is dying and final preparations are being made for him."
In September 2024, Loomer promoted the Springfield, Ohio, cat-eating hoax, lying that the city is populated by "20,000 cannibalistic Haitians".

Following the 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators, Loomer falsely accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of being responsible for the shootings, saying that "Walz's goons are now assassinating lawmakers who support legislation Walz opposes." Loomer further called the Democratic Party a "terrorist organization."
Walz was included on a list of potential targets by Vance Boelter, the actual shooter.
After the 2025 Midtown Manhattan shooting, Loomer falsely claimed that "The cop killer in NYC who just killed an NYPD officer was a Mamdani supporter."
Loomer further said that "@ZohranKMamdani is inspiring a generation of pro-Islamic cop killers. This is why you don't elect Muslim immigrants to office." The police officer killed in the shooting, Didarul Islam, was a Muslim immigrant from Bangladesh.

Ingenting? Når HTS-militsen går amok med massemord, ødeleggelser og djevelskap handler de altså på egenhånd? Så du antar at lederne for HTS ikke har kontroll over egne "soldater"? Vel det forteller uansett hvordan man vrir på det at Syria bærer alle kjennetegnene på en FAILED STATE.

Nei, men status quo vil ikke bli opprettholdt særlig lenge nå som Syria styres av en flokk irrasjonelle jihadister. Og sevl om Jolani nok kan være en kaldt kalkulerende fisk så er de åpenbart utålmodige i de lavere gradene hvor de ivrer etter å fortsette voldsorgiene til IS og fortsette der de slapp for noen år siden - som vi har sett i de drusiske områdene. Og et palasskupp mot Jolani fra de mer utålmodige kan fort finne sted. Det vil aldri overraske meg.

Jeg antar ingenting, jeg forholder meg til tilgjengelig informasjon. Jeg har enda ikke sett noe som viser at regjeringen i Damaskus beordret sine styrker til å utrydde druserne. Hvis du sitter på annen informasjon må du gjerne dele den med tråden.

Enten beordret de det, eller så har de null kontroll. Jeg lurer på hva som egentlig er verst...

Det meste tyder på at regjeringen har liten kontroll. De har tydeligvis autoritet nok til å sende dem inn og ut av områder, men det virker som om mange av styrkene gjør litt som de vil når de først kriger.

Joshua Landis on X: "Over 3,000 people have been extrajudicially executed by Syrian security forces and affiliated armed factions, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on 7 September. Between 8 December of last year and 6 September, SOHR documented the deaths of 10,672 people" / X

Trump nå regelrett omfavner opprørsregimet med full styrke. Under 11,000 har blitt drept etter Assad-regimet falt, og det har nylig vært etnisk rensing gjennom nazistliknende trusler ved å male tegn på bygninger som er "lovlig" eller "ulovlig" - en alawittbefolket bystrøk i Damaskus har blitt tømt, ut av 22,000 bare 3,000 gjenstår. Alawittene er blitt fritt vilt; de jages fra landsby etter landsby som strøk etter strøk over hele Syria, og kurderne som drusere ser ut til å dele samme skjebne. Det er tegn på at det samme kan skje de kristne. 

En amerikansk admiral hadde nylig besøkt Syria. Samtidig som SDF er under massiv press om å kapitulere, selv da opprørsregimet antyder sterkt at kurderne "ikke høre hjemme", med ekstrem proarabiske holdninger. Mange ser nå at Trump villig forråde minoritetsfolkene i Syria selv om flere og flere i Washington omsider har begynte å innse realitetene om at Syria må bestå som en føderasjon. Som opprørerne ikke vil ha.

Slapp av. Dødsregimet Izrael kommer nok til deres unnsetning og avsetter den syriske regjeringen.
