COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY JONATHAN FREEDLAND IN THE
GUARDIAN
"The slaughter in
Syria should outrage us. Yet still we just shrug"
Yes, indeed, but it very much does outrage me.
And perhaps, were the general population given the truth
about Syria, they would be outraged too.
But they are not told the truth, not at all, by any of our
major news sources.
Instead we get half-truths, incomplete information, and a
good dose of downright lies.
Look at this statement of yours, Mr. Freedland:
"gassing children, and the only consequence was a limited US cruise
missile strike on a Syrian airfield. So long as I wasn’t too blatant, and kept
the murder within agreed limits, I would be left alone."
We know to a certainty that Syria gassed no one. It gave up
its entire stocks of gas under international supervision.
We equally know to a certainty that some of the
American-Saudi-Israeli sponsored pseudo-jihadi mercenaries trying to destroy
Syria very much did.
The evidence, if you look for it, is quite overwhelming.
There has even been the odd event of small quantities of poison gas in
canisters being transferred, as one discovered at the Turkish border some years
ago.
The war is again heating up because America and Israel are
both extremely unhappy about how their costly project in Syria has largely
failed.
Some project, reducing a beautiful and relatively peaceful
land to ruins because you hate its leader. Of course, exactly the same thing
was done in Libya, just more successfully, with a leader who was extremely good
to his people and kept them at peace being murdered and his country reduced to
chaos.
So, America illegally occupies a portion of Syria now and
trains and protects Kurds, preparing the ground for hiving off part of Syria, a
la Kosovo, against all international law. It simply acts above the law and goes
totally criticism by our press in its quest for "truth."
Israel regularly bombs Syrian military targets, using this
or that excuse, and "demands" an even larger slice of Syria as a
security zone for its completely illegal occupation of the Golan Heights.
The total horror is a created event, created by outsiders
who want to rearrange the Middle East as though they were gods above all law.
Most of the "mock" shock over it in the West is
little more than an effort to have the powers causing it to intensify their
efforts.
