(ANTIMEDIA) — In the latest continuation of western media’s shameless promotion of a known war criminal, the Washington Post sat down with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) last Thursday for a 75-minute discussion (even the Post itself previously published an acknowledgment of his crimes). While the Post’s write-up focuses mainly on the allegation that MBS has Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, “in his pocket,” the […]

(ANTIMEDIA Op-ed) — The Syrian government and its allies are fast defeating ISIS and al-Qaeda out of Syria, Deutsche Welle (DW) reports. However, one wouldn’t know this was the case if they consumed only mainstream media’s one-sided coverage of the Syrian conflict. According to U.S. media, only Donald Trump receives credit for the disintegration of ISIS’ caliphate, and very few outlets actually […]

Syria could very well be one of the most heavily propagandized conflicts in modern history.
The lies told in the run up to the illegal Iraq invasion, in many ways dwarf the multiple fallacies told by the United States government, and its mainstream media cronies, as the regime change efforts in Syria have failed at every turn.

Not only did the new CIA Director personally oversee the torture of Abu Zubaydah, she did so in order to lie you and your mom into supporting the aggressive war against Iraq.

The same people, Republicans and Democrats, who lied through their teeth for an invasion of Iraq in 2003, are doing it again for an invasion of Russia, sometime soon, so as to ‘defend’ ‘democracy’.

Sputnik – 05.03.2018 The United Kingdom and the United States de facto confirmed their support of terrorists in Syria by rejecting Russian amendments for the UN Human Rights Council resolution on the situation in Eastern Ghouta, Russian permanent representative to the UN Office in Geneva Gennady Gatilov told Sputnik. “The amendments which we introduced should […]

By Jonathan Cook | CounterPunch | February 28, 2018 I am loath to draw more attention to the kind of idiocy that passes for informed comment nowadays from academics and mainstream journalists. Recently I lambasted Prof Richard Carver for his arguments against BDS that should have gained him an F for logic in any high school exam. […]

Press TV – February 26, 2018 A suspected new chemical attack has reportedly hit the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta just after Russia warned that militants were planning a gas attack there to pin it on the Syrian government. Militant sources were quoted as saying that several people suffered symptoms consistent with exposure to chlorine […]

Reading media reports of the fighting in east Ghouta over the last few days has triggered an eery sense of déjà vu.
It is like taking a time machine back to the autumn of 2016 and listening to all the arguments over the fighting in Aleppo all over again.
Just as in 2016 the reports concern fighting between the Syrian military and a large force of Jihadis – in both cases around 10-15,000 men – trapped in a district of one of Syria’s two main cities.
In 2016 it was eastern Aleppo; this time it is east Ghouta, which is a suburb of Syria’s capital Damascus.

Ron Paul says that the Syrian Army is defeating radical jihadist rebels in Ghouta, an enclave near Damascus, yet the United Nations is painting Syrian President Assad as a killer of children. When the Syrian Army forced ISIS out of Aleppo, the media accused them of atrocities, but citizens eagerly returned to their homes, proving that the media was lying. This analysis covers many additional topics that make it well worth watching. [...]
