Even as horrifying images, news and footage continue to spill out of Syria's civil war, Bashar Al-Assad's Facebook page, about 325,000 supporters strong, insists that all is well in Syria and that rumors of terror in Syria are spawned by "masonic" western media and "terrorist" Free Syrian Army.

Assad's Facebook page is a shocking look into what a leader's social media presence looks like in a time of national chaos. It is boldly focused on dispensing a collected, positive image of Syria -- one in which the rebels are terrorists and the will of the people is drowned out by Western interests. It is a Facebook that mirrors many of Assad's most resounding real-life criticisms.
