Am I the only one who can’t quite work out what happened last weekend in Syria or what it’s all supposed to mean? That is, I can’t work out what the US-UK-France Triumvirate (the same Triumvirate that led the intervention against Gaddafi in Libya) was trying to do when it decided to carry out strikes […]
With the fiftieth anniversary of the My Lai massacre, it freshly occured to me that the harrowing subject of My Lai actually also sheds some light on the reality of the decline in real journalism in the modern age. I would assert that you can track the decline in the integrity and purpose of mainstream […]
When it comes to Syria, you can set your watch for all the different acts in the stage-play that is the mass-media and international coverage. I referred to Syria previously as ‘Syria the Movie’, in regard especially to the media production company known as the White Helmets. It’s a movie with endless sequels: and the […]
The ‘age of stupid’ is the only term I can think of for framing this ongoing nonsense. President Trump and members of his administration have taken the questionable approach of stating outright that the US will respond severely if the Syrian government carries out another chemical attack on civilians. More than that, it is insisting […]
I posted up an old video of Asma al-Assad last week, because I thought her sentiments in the recording really resonated with what has been going on in Syria and the Middle East in recent years. I didn’t know, however, that a couple of days later the UK newspapers would feature sudden articles calling for […]
Unsurprisingly, more or less every image of the sarin attack victims being circulated in international media seems to have involved the infamous White Helmets or bears their logo. However many Nobel Peace Prizes they might get nominated for or however many Oscars they win, the White Helmets (funded by the US, UK and France) has […]
The entirety of international corporate media seems to have completely forgotten – or deliberately omitted – the fact that the Syrian government had officially completed the removal of its last remaining chemical weapons stockpile as of June 23rd 2014. This was apparently confirmed by the United Nations Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, as […]
Aaaaaannd… here we are again. Hope you enjoyed the brief break from the Neo-Con/regime-change program: but we’re back to the regularly scheduled program. Chemical attack in Syria against civilians. Assad must go. A line has been crossed. Let loose the dogs of war. Etc. Suddenly, after all the false hopes of a changing foreign policy […]
Picking up from yesterday‘s reports of chemical attacks in Syria, we of course have to be very careful when watching the media/propaganda war concerning what is happening in Aleppo and in Syria in general. We also know that there were two attacks, one of them being in the Salahuddin residential area of eastern Aleppo. Russian […]
Not for the first time in the course of the War in Syria, we are seeing major international reports of a chemical attack, allegedly having been carried out by the Assad government forces. ‘Assad regime drops chemical weapons on Syrian town in revenge for shot down Russian helicopter’, The Telegraph reports, stating it as pure […]
