The photograph above shows independent journalist, Vanessa Beeley and Shade Shhde whose three children, wife and mother were all killed in the massacre at Mhardeh, Syria – an outrage ignored by the West’s corporate media. Shade is giving Vanessa the bracelet his eldest daughter used to wear. This almost unbearably moving gesture is a grieving man’s way of demonstrating how much […]
This news is vindication of my theory that the so called Iraqi airstrikes into Syria were taken as part of the coalition strikes. Obfuscated by the big lie, spread all over the place, of an agreement between Damascus and Baghdad. Helping to take the heat off of the US and company. That claim was so absurd it should have been dismissed out of hand. But it wasn't. It seems to me that the US is making the big push to take all of the eastern territory once and for all. And I don't mean fight ISIS. I mean finally push all the resident Arab civilians out to be replaced by the Kurds.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. But a video… this must be worth a thousand pictures. President Trump is almost completely vilified by the mainstream media for being everything from ugly, to an idiot, to amoral (a recent charge, by dying US Senator Harry Reid), to corrupt, to weak-willed, to explosive.
(ANTIWAR.COM) — A convoy of Syrian Kurdish fighters has withdrawn from Manbij on Wednesday, according to the Syrian Defense Ministry, which estimates that around 400 of them left. This was, by most accounts, materially all remaining Kurdish forces in Manbij. Manbij has been under the control of Kurdish forces and some small allied factions since 2017, […]
(MEE) — In a long and rambling interview with reporters at the White House on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump said he doesn’t care about Iran’s presence in Syria, refused to give a timetable on when US troops will be leave and referred to the war-torn country as “sand and death”. “Iran is no longer the same […]
Two terrible wars, two mighty destructions, but two absolutely opposite outcomes.
In Syria, it may be autumn now, but almost the entire country is blossoming again, literally rising from ashes. Two thousand miles east from there, Afghanistan is smashed against its ancient rocks, bleeding and broken. There, it does not really matter what season it is; life is simply dreadful and hope appears to be in permanent exile.
In the comments section of yesterday’s post Yaya had left a comment about the ‘withdrawal’ of the US from Iraq- Much ballyhooed at the time.
Utter silence. That is the sound of Western corporate media days after a more than one-hour-long panel on the White Helmets at the United Nations on December 20.
Journalists were present, so the silence isn’t due to lack of access. And in any case, it was live streamed on the UNTV channel and remains available on Youtube for keen observers to watch.

Assad must go, Obama says.”
So read the headline in The Washington Post, Aug. 18, 2011.
The story quoted President Barack Obama directly:
“The future of Syria must be determined by its people, but President Bashar al-Assad is standing in their way… the time has come for President Assad to step aside.”
