Aleppo - Lies and Censorship
Image Upload - Server Error Contact Site Administrator
Last night I watched Kerry spew off lie after lie about the situation in Aleppo in a press conference. I am having trouble finding the entire press conference video (it was on twitter last night) without spin.
In short, the USA and the UK are ignoring that Aleppo is divided with over a million people, many of whom are refugees, living under the protection of their own Syrian government, and that the Al Nusra controls the western half of the city with about 200,000 people, including the terrorist militias the USA supports. The UK and the USA completely ignore this fundamental fact, or the fact that the Eastern Syrian government sector is in constant bombardment and terrorist attack, and recently freed from siege. They go on to claim that Syrian and Russian leaders should be tried for war crimes, completely ignoring their own long standing and much grosser war crimes, continue the fiction that "Assad used gas attack on his own people" when it is a fact that the terrorist groups the USA and allies support who were responsible.
Then, as mentioned in another essay, we find that RT, which, along with Telesur, may be suspect in the USA, but is highly regarded in Latin America has their bank accounts confiscated while Julius Assange's internet is shut down... and leaving us very worried for Julians' life and well-being. https://www.rt.com/news/362985-julian-assange-internet-link/
During the buildup of the last invasion of Iraq I was confined to listening (from Bolivia) to short wave radio for news and remember the exact same bullshit drumbeat being broadcast by police state radio channels, except a few independent stations. These were raided and shut down, most memorably a Costa Rica station who rebroadcast Democracy Now (which has become a shill for Hillary lately), Chomsky (ditto) talks and so on. After that the only news was "shock and awe" from VOA and BBC.
Folks, these police state vulture drum beats for war based on lies have become more than ominous. These assholes want to destroy a large part of the world based on fiction.
OK, right now the only channels mainstream I trust are RT and Telesur.

Censorship or just an error?
I am frustrated, I have a number of images I wish to share with this essay... visual proofs of what I am talking about. Unfortuntely the same thing happened to me yesterday... when I try and upload an image I get a server error and am supposed to contact the administrator.

"Why are western media lying and producing a fictional narrative regarding the situation unfolding in Aleppo, Syria?
Ron Paul Liberty Report co-host Daniel McAdams talks with 21WIRE special contributor Vanessa Beeley about what is really happening in Aleppo right now. Beeley also reveals new information about the western covert creation, a pseudo ‘NGO’ called the White Helmets in Syria."

Anyone remember the young Iraqi woman blogger Riverbend?

With a last update in 2013
we can fear for her.
Petition? Anything?
Time to call our "representatives"?
Call the "stop war hot line"? Anybody know the number?
The Russians are hacking Hillary and YOU MAY DIE !
But seriously, Big Al, here in Dresden ordinary people grumble and talk about how eventually they’ll have to engage in the same kind of mass civil disobedience that brought down the East German hardliners — nothing else seems to help. In their eyes, casting a ballot every five years for some “member of the Bundestag” or “party candidate list” certainly isn’t.
Situation Report Aleppo
As you can see most of Aleppo, with over a 1,200,000 people is controlled by the Syrian government (pink) and the Kurds (yellow), while the Al Nusra terrorists with 200,000 people are confined to a smaller part of the city.
If the Al-Nusra would allow the civilian population to leave during the upcoming eight hour cease fire, then we can mop up the fucking Nusras and send them to hell where they belong.
Also, as we know, Al Nusra continues to attack civilian targets in Western Aleppo, a fact none of the neoliberal imperialist porkers and their Wahabi allies mention.
Since the neoliberal imperialist pigs and Wahabi rodent allies decided to censor RT, I have become a fan, LOL and plan to repost some of their articles. Censorship aficionados can go fuck themselves.

Thanks Alex
I've never seen such a clear report on the situation there. Good map.
