Coalition confirms BBC exclusive: 3500 IS family members left Raqqa and 250 fighters in ceasefire. Convoy stretched for 8km. Deal agreed by "local partners", coalition says it didn't want anyone to leave. Western officer was present at negotiations but didn't take "active part".
The SDF is making a final push today in the four-month Battle of Raqqa.
Victory is in sight.
Inundated daily by promoted bullshit and suppressed truth, it is difficult for me, at least, to deal with a semblance of sanity to describe, let alone make sense of the American political system. Judge Zloch's ridiculous finding in the DNC fraudsuit is one of the more egregious ones in the past two days. Such harmful nonsense, disguised as law, is supposed to sucked up like mother's milk by the "great unwashed"--that's us folks.
According to polls most Americans are indifferent to the carnage that we inflict around the world.
Right now the target of that carnage is Raqqa.
Just the other day I was thinking, "You know, we as American consumers, deserve to destroy more than just seven nations at a time (like Obama boasted). We should be killing innocent women and children in at least eight nations at the same time."
It doesn't get much attention in the U.S. press, but Iraq has managed to solve their prison population problem - they don't take prisoners.
Most of the left, not to mention the right, are falling again for the false narratives, lies and propaganda coming from our government, the Trump regime, and the oligarchy owned and controlled media regarding the supposed ceasefire in Syria, agreements with Russia and Trump's decisions and actions in "fighting terrorism".
No wonder the antiwar movement is almost dead during a period of unprecedented war.
Probably less than one in a thousand Americans are even aware that there is an ISIS affiliate in Egypt.
Even fewer know any of the details behind this insurgency because outside of one incident, the American news media has ignored it. Which is why it is interesting.
Earlier today a jihadi rebel group in southern Syria accused the Damascus government of a chemical weapons attack.
First, the good news.
