📰 The Leaks That Shook Damascus: Assad’s Secret Contempt and Luna al-Shibl’s Last Revelation

A fresh wave of leaked video and audio recordings, alongside thousands of newly surfaced intelligence files and prison documents, has ignited a political, human-rights, and media storm. For the first time, the world can hear and see the real voice of Bashar al-Assad, stripped of his public persona, as he speaks privately with his former adviser, Luna al-Shibl. What emerges is a stark and damning portrait: a ruler who, from the very seat of power, expressed open contempt, disgust, and crude scorn for entire regions of his own country and for the people he governed. The Car-Ride Recordings: Assad Unfiltered The most explosive material is footage filmed inside a moving vehicle. Assad is at the wheel, with armed forces escorts visible in the rear-view mirror. Luna al-Shibl sits beside him.

The conversation turns to Eastern Ghouta, the once-fertile Damascus suburb that endured years of siege, starvation, and chemical attacks. In one clip, Assad mocks the Ghouta and its people in language so obscene it cannot be printed. He laughs as he recalls the destruction inflicted by his own troops. Al-Shibl does not appear shocked. Instead, she engages him in discussion about Hezbollah’s battlefield claims and its absence during key phases of the crisis. Another recording captures a moment when Assad speaks about Syria itself.

There is no trace of pride or sorrow. What leaks out is deep revulsion — a visceral disgust at the country he ruled for nearly a quarter of a century. Additionally, the contrast with his public rhetoric of resistance and unity could not be sharper. These were not staged interviews. Furthermore, they were private moments, inside a sealed car, far from any camera crew. It appears al-Shibl recorded the conversations herself.

The “Damascus Dossier” — An Archive of Death Alongside the car footage, an extensive cache of internal security documents has been released under the title “Damascus Dossier”. Thousands of files from various intelligence branches detail surveillance operations, arrest orders, interrogation transcripts, and methodical records of torture and extrajudicial killings. Notably, photographs of corpses, each tagged with prison numbers, are accompanied by medical reports outlining methods of execution. Chains of command link senior authorities to the darkest corners of Syria’s prison system. Human-rights groups have called it “an archive of death”, and numerous believe it could one day serve as key evidence in international war-crimes trials. Public Fury and the Court of Social Media The moment the clips were broadcast…
