are inflicting on innocent children, innocent families around the world is fucking incredible. The corporate media purposely assists which is really sick to think of all those involved (from the billionaire owners to Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper, Rachel Maddow, Joe Scarborough, all of them down to sycophant newscasters in Podunk, Idaho) who parrot the propaganda and basically participate in killing children and causing suffering. They need to be held accountable for what they've done.

how I feel about what you are contributing here. I thank you. I thank you for not including photographs of bloodied children because I would have looked away. It's not that I would be depressed. It's that the insanity of war and of atrocities against innocent people is so un-human that I believe it leaves us paralyzed with incomprehension. I don't think we have words to describe the emotions we feel when confronted with atrocities committed by humans against men, women and children. It's not natural. It's not even unnatural. It's unearthly.

I want you to know that there are people in this country who know you are right, who understand, even if only because they've stumbled onto photography of such violence when looking up John McCain's clients in Syria. I want you to know there are people whose hearts and minds are focused on finding a solution, non-violent and legal, to end this, to put war out of business.

I want you to know that I, for one, know this atrocity, this war, is a project of my government, my democracy, which means I am part of the problem, and that such atrocity is the hallmark of fascism.

I want you to know that I think about the children of Syria and Iraq and Yemen and Libya and Ukraine and Afghanistan and all the African countries slaughtered by war every day and every night. Thank you for doing what you are doing.

for anyone willing to look behind the curtain of despicable propaganda being peddled by "Western" corporate media. For how much longer can a shamefully credulous, utterly incurious American public subsist on such a poisonous diet of blatant falsity? How long before consumers have finally have had enough of the "prefabricated news product" they are being fed?

Back in the day, Americans used to laugh at the preposterous prevarications of something called "Pravda" or "Truth". Sixty years later we've developed our own version of something equally pernicious, though perhaps more cleverly disguised, and we call it "The News".

To believe or not to believe, that is the question. As the "official story" gets repeatedly punctured, like a curtain with ever more holes, it becomes ever more difficult not to see through it.

All civilians transported out of east Aleppo: Red Cross
As a result of today's evacuation, the Red Cross has declared the last militant-controlled neighborhoods of eastern Aleppo civilian-free.

All-in-all, tens of thousands of civilians were safely transported to government and militant-held areas inside the provincial capital, ending the two month long humanitarian crisis that was at the forefront of many media networks.

Earlier today, the remaining militants from Fatah Halab and Jaysh Al-Fateh were given one last warning regarding their departure from the eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo by the Syrian Arab Army.

Should the militants refuse to leave east Aleppo, the Syrian Arab Army has promised to eliminate the final jihadist rebel forces still operating inside the city's eastern sector.
