The story that captured the corrupt Western media’s attention was Syria. The
conflict was heating up, and the “international community” was being pressed to
take action against the country. “Assad is killing his own people,” they said,
without offering any evidence. “This is the next domino to fall in the Arab
Spring, the rebels must be supported and Assad has to step down,” so went the
propaganda. And yadda yadda. The media’s insane lies were repeated for months.
Major media channels were engaged in non-stop propaganda warfare to destroy the
independent Syrian state and reduce Syrians to slavery.
But
then something remarkable and unexpected happened. Some Western journalists
began telling the truth about the origins of the conflict, the true motives
behind the West’s anti-Syria propaganda, and the nature of the unpopular Syrian
opposition.
The
spell was broken.
In
June, German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported that the
infamous Houla massacre was committed not by Assad’s forces, as it was claimed
by the Western media at first, but by the NATO-backed terrorist opposition.
The
official narrative about the Syrian conflict fell apart at that point. The
moral case for overthrowing Assad was lost because it was based on total lies.
The naked aggression by NATO’s barbaric pawns against Syrian civilians was
clear to see for anyone who was paying attention.
The
Global Alternative Media Rises: End of Mainstream Propaganda
The
establishment media no longer has a monopoly on reality. Official lies are
challenged, buried truths are dug up, and objective reality is preserved. The
magician’s tricks have been revealed by spoilers in the crowd. The global
alternative media is rising and it is an engine of peace, liberation,
understanding, and sanity.
In
fact, establishment journalists have already gone crazy and lost their grip on
reality. Their world is falling down around them and their temporary power is
disappearing by the day. Truth is too strong a force. The establishment media
is going against the gravity of reality and it is losing the battle.
But
not everybody in the Western media has lost their heads and hearts. There are
still some respectable and honourable journalists around who place the facts of
history above the lies of governments. The writer “b” of MoA writes:
“There
seems to be slight turn in the western media coverage of Syria. Here in Germany
the press has now more reports showing the “rebels” as what they really are:
traveling jihadists and foreign paid rabble. Commentators on the news websites
are now mostly highly critical about the usual propaganda pieces and the German
government policy of supporting the SNC. There also seems to be a slight shift
in international media.”
Whereas
in the recent past the Western establishment media was all-powerful and its
official narratives were unquestioningly accepted by the general public, today
its legitimacy is rapidly collapsing and it is failing to make people believe
in government lies.
Young
consumers of news are looking to the rising global independent media to get the
facts about critical issues and conflicts. In the process, their worldview is
changing and their government-made beliefs are dying.
The
truth about Syria, like the truth about 9/11, can be suppressed for the time
being but it cannot be erased from the record of history.
Tony
Cartalucci says that Western propaganda against Syria has gotten too out of
control and as a result it is falling to pieces. The tangled lies are being
exposed before their usefulness can be exploited. Here is an excerpt from
Cartalucci’s article, “US Treasury: Al Qaeda Runs Syrian “Rebellion”:
“Now,
it appears that the West’s Arab “foreign legion,” Al Qaeda, is about to suffer
an unprecedented defeat – not at the hands of Western anti-terrorism forces,
but at the hands of Syrian troops in the city of Aleppo. In a desperate effort
to prevent this, the West is employing a series of desperate strategies ranging
from portraying the trapped foreign-fighters committing atrocities inside
Aleppo as “pending a certain massacre,” to using the very presence of these
foreign-fighters as evidence “Al Qaeada” is operating in Syria and must be
“stopped” by Western intervention.
It
is essential to understand that, as empires have always done, the monolithic
corporate-financier interests of the West seek regional hegemony as a step
toward global domination, and will say and do anything in order to achieve it.
As resistance increases, the West’s lies become more difficult to sell, the
consistency of their propaganda overtly crumbling. The West, in nearly a single
breath, has now claimed FSA fighters are both “Al Qaeda” that need to be
eliminated, while also impeding a “massacre” by Syrian forces if something
isn’t done to save them.
When
US President Obama referred to the “depths of depravity” regarding Syrian
security operations in Aleppo, he and his script writers do so with the belief
that Americans, and the world, are ignorant and disinterested in the truth, and
will gladly allow Western foreign policy to once again prey on their emotions
and good intentions to sell yet another destructive, self-serving military
intervention.”
It
is strange to hear that Washington is at war with Al-Qaeda in Yemen, and, at
the same time, it is an ally of Al-Qaeda in Syria. Only one of these two things
can be true. Washington is either at war with Al-Qaeda or it is not.
Washington’s
sense of logic is funny and twisted, but it is not unique. That’s the way of
the world. Throughout history, empires first conquer the truth, reality, and
human consciousness, and then move their way to resource-rich lands.
The
power of an empire is dependent on the cult beliefs and cult personalities that
are created to justify its brutal rule at home and abroad.
It
is a sign of hope for the world and for the collective life of mankind when the
sovereignty of truth overcomes an empire of death, in whatever age in human
history.
