Het volgende artikel vond ik afgelopen vrijdag op Information Clearing House, hierin aandacht voor de smerige westerse anti-Rusland / anti-Assad propaganda. Enorme leugens, die desnoods een paar dagen later onderuit worden gehaald met nieuwe leugens, als het zo uitkomt. Als één van de laatste ‘wapenfeiten’ op dat gebied, de totaal ongefundeerde leugen dat Rusland ziekenhuizen zou hebben gebombardeerd, o.a. een ziekenhuis van Artsen Zonder Grenzen (MSF)…… U kan voor een vertaling onder het artikel klikken op Dutch, dat neemt wel enige tijd in beslag:
Russia
Lances the Poison in Syria

– Less than five months after Russian President Vladimir
Putin ordered military intervention in Syria, the five-year war has
been completely transformed. Peace is far from certain as a tentative
truce this week will attest. The conflict may even escalate. But what
Russia’s intervention has certainly achieved is to squeeze out into
the open the poisonous forces of regime change that have brought
Syria to its dire condition.
Not
only is the Syrian state pulled back from the brink of collapse into
a terrorist-run failed entity, as befell «NATO liberated» Libya,
but the Russian air strikes like a surgical operation have lanced the
noxious inflammation festering in Syria. All sorts of poisons are now
oozing and being exposed, primarily the nefarious roles played by
Western powers, their regional allies, and the toxic lies propounded
by the Western news media to cover for crimes against peace.
If
it were not for the gravity of human suffering, the situation could
be seen as almost comical, owing to the Western contortions to hide
reality. Western governments and their servile media are falling over
themselves with ever-changing stories and spin, accusing Russian
military operations of all sorts of crimes: killing civilians,
hitting hospitals, exacerbating the refugee crisis, targeting
«moderate rebels», or «propping up a dictator».
This
week, the Western media rushed to implicate Russia or the allied
Syrian army in striking hospitals and schools in Azaz and Maarat
al-Numan near the Turkish border. Some 11 people were killed at the
latter facility, which is supported by the French medical group
Doctors Without Borders (DWB). No evidence was presented to support
the high-flown claims in the Western media accusing Russia. Russia
denied any involvement, while the Syrian government said that the
US-led forces carried out the attacks. Meanwhile, all week Turkish
military were launching hundreds of artillery volleys across the
border into the very area around Azaz where the hospitals were hit.
But Western media did not question Turkey about its violation of
Syrian sovereignty or the possibility that the errant strikes could
have been inflicted by Turkish forces, perhaps even as a false flag
to impute Russia.
Last
week, the US military spokesman Colonel Steve Warren blamed Russia
for air strikes on two hospitals in Aleppo City. Russian defense
ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov responded by saying that
Russian aircraft were not active in the city that day, Wednesday, and
that Russian surveillance data in fact showed that two US warplanes
had bombed Aleppo.
It
is not clear who did strike the DWB-supported hospital in this week.
But one established relevant fact is that it was the Americans
who bombed a
DWB hospital in Afghanistan last October, killing some 30 staff and
patients. Also, in Yemen, the US-backed Saudi bombing coalition
striking that country have routinely
hit DWB and other hospitals on numerous dates over recent
months, as even confirmed by DWB.
One
other feat of narrative-contortion was given by
US envoy to Syria Brett McGurk, who told Congressional lawmakers last
week that Russia was «directly helping Islamic State terrorists»
from its military intervention in Syria. Another warped spiel was
that of US government-owned outlet Voice
of America which claimed that
Russia’s air strikes were pushing moderate rebels to join the ranks
of extremist militia.
Any
and all narratives are hastily churned out, it seems, to avoid the
obvious, real story: Russia has saved Syria from a covert war of
aggression waged by foreign powers who have been using terrorist
proxies for the objective of regime change.
That’s
it in a nutshell. Russia should be commended, if objective analysis
were to prevail. But objective analysis must not prevail in Western
media narratives because that would expose the toxic role of their
governments and their own criminal complicity in distorting the
conflict in Syria.
In
a recent «backgrounder» on the Syrian war, here is how the
British state-owned BBC «explained» what’s
happening: «More
than 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in four-and-a-half years
of armed conflict, which began with anti-government protests before
escalating into a full-scale civil war. More than 11 million others
have been forced from their homes as forces loyal to President Bashar
al-Assad and those opposed to his rule battle each other – as well
as jihadist militants from so-called Islamic State».
The BBC tells
it like a guileless fairytale, which in its simplistic telling is
itself guileful. Note how in the BBC narrative the
«jihadist militants» appear from nowhere as if they are an
accidental walk-on sideshow; and how, as if by magic,
«anti-government protests escalated into a full-scale civil war».
This
is the kind of toxic nonsense that Western governments and their
evidently dutiful news media have been pumping into the consciousness
of their public’s minds for the past five years.
But
now that Russia has entered the fray, the poison is oozing out from
the Syrian wound.
The
Turkish state of Recep Tayyip Erdogan this week is shelling Syrian
territory in what any fair-minded person would describe as an act of
aggression towards a sovereign country. Ankara is claiming it is
attacking «terrorist» Syrian Kurdish militia, the YPG. Not
unrelated is the fact that the YPG last week inflicted heavy losses
on the jihadist mercenaries that Ankara has been supporting, when the
Kurds took over Menagh airbase.
NATO
member Turkey has reportedly hit
Kurdish villages in Aleppo Province causing civilian casualties, as
well as Syrian army positions and Russia’s airbase in Latakia, whom
the Kurdish YPG have been liaising with.
Saudi
Arabia is sending fighter
jets to the NATO airbase at Incirlik in Turkey’s Adana Province,
allegedly to begin combat operations against the Islamic State terror
group in Syria. Turkey and Saudi Arabia are readying a
ground invasion of Syria, with the approval of the Pentagon.
If
we step back from the commotion, it is patent that what is unfolding
here is flagrant aggression, which the Syrian government has
protested to the United Nations Security Council. But with the US,
Britain and France – executive powers in the regime-change war on
Syria – the UNSC will simply bury the legitimate protests from
Damascus.
The
unavoidable conclusion is that NATO – the US-led military alliance
supposedly maintaining global security – has openly become a
belligerent in the Syrian war. The obvious factor is that Russia’s
intervention has cut off the Turkish-Saudi-NATO channels to the
regime-change terrorist brigades inside Syria. Turkey’s murderous
shoot-down of a Russian bomber jet last November – with apologetics
from Washington and other NATO members – was the initial, desperate
response to Russian success in thwarting the covert war.
The
severance of the NATO mercenaries in Aleppo from their lifeline in
Turkey is further evidence of Russia’s deep incision into the
poison. Turkey and Saudi Arabia’s war mobilization and their
tortuous pretexts is straining credulity and straining Western media
efforts at trying to sanitize what is going on.
US
Defense Secretary Ashton Carter may have publicly endorsed the
plan for Saudi and Turkish military intervention in Syria under the
laughable guise of «fighting terrorism». But it is also clear that
Washington has become unnerved by the runaway train wreck it is
riding with these two rogue states. France and Germany are also
calling for Turkey to cease its cross-border shelling of Syria.
US
Vice President Joe Biden, who only weeks ago was in Ankara chumming
it up with the Erdogan regime, reportedly phoned
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu last weekend urging him to
call off the artillery fire into Syria.
Voice
of America reported: «US
officials say there is little to be done to counter militarily the
Russian-backed Assad offensive and they argue the vicious
five-year-long Syrian civil war that has left upwards of 250,000 dead
won’t be resolved by the clash of arms but through a negotiated
political settlement».
US
Secretary of State John Kerry desperately wants «peace talks» in
Geneva because he knows the covert war is on a losing streak. Peace
talk is just a cover for political wrangling for regime change. But
the Russians are having none of it. Moscow is going to wipe out the
foreign-backed mercenaries and stick to the principle of Syrian
sovereignty for mapping the country’s political future. The US
State Department is in a bind. It has backed a loser, but the
impetuous, irrational Erdogan and Saudi clients are not giving up on
their regime change fantasies.
Washington
is being ensnared in its own toxic contradictions. It has led the
criminal scheme for regime change in Syria, instrumented by Turkey
and Saudi Arabia in weaponizing radical jihadist mercenaries. As
the New York Times recently admitted: «The
Russians have cut off may of the pathways the CIA has been using for
a not-very-secret effort to arm rebel [that is, terrorist] groups».
Russian
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told the
Munich Security Conference last weekend that Syria was in danger of
escalating into all-out international war. His warnings were scoffed
by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir as being alarmist – this
from an advocate of foreign aggression on Syria!
Medvedev’s
warnings are not at all alarmist. They are realist. Frighteningly
realist. Russia’s intervention in Syria is demonstrating the
complete lawlessness of Washington and its NATO and regional allies.
Syria is not in the grip of a «civil war» as the Western media
fabricate. Syria is in the crosshairs of foreign powers and their
criminal project to destroy a country for their twisted geopolitical
ambitions.
Before
Russia’s operation, Syria was a shackled patient being amputated
upon, injected with all kinds of poisons and generally being
violated. The Western media were the orderlies who pulled a screen
across this obscenity so that the public would not know. This vile
charade can no longer be concealed. The US-led NATO, Arab, terrorist
covert war on Syria is there for all to see, and it is largely down
to Russia for exposing the despicable crime.
The
truth is no guarantee of peace. But in order to eventually arrive at
a peace, we at least need to learn of truth.
