DAMASCUS, Syria — In a SHOCKING and desperate move, Syria’s NEW militant-led government has begun ERASING the nation’s financial history, literally cutting two zeros off its currency in a brazen attempt to hide a catastrophic economic collapse. This isn’t stabilization—it’s a DECEPTION on a national scale, a final admission that the Syrian pound is WORTHLESS under its new rulers.
President Ahmad al-Sharaa, the former insurgent leader whose forces toppled the Assad dynasty, has issued a decree forcing citizens to trade in their old bills—many bearing the faces of the deposed Assads—for freshly printed notes. The CENTRAL BANK claims this will bring stability, but the brutal math tells the true story: where one U.S. dollar once bought 47 pounds, it now commands a STAGGERING 11,800 of the old notes. This currency “reform” is a surgical strike on what little wealth ordinary Syrians have left, a state-sanctioned THEFT of purchasing power.
MOST ALARMINGLY, the West is blindly FALLING FOR IT. With the U.S. and EU hastily lifting sanctions in a naive bid for “peace,” they are empowering a regime built from the ashes of a terror-listed insurgency. The world is not witnessing a recovery, but the FINANCIAL ENGINEERING of a failed state, wiping the ledger clean of decades of devastation while the people starve. This new currency is more than paper—it is a BLOOD MONEY receipt for a nation sold to its destroyers. The zeros removed from the banknotes are nothing compared to the moral zero now at the heart of Syria’s shattered soul.
