SYRIA: You Only Hate Assad Because Your TV Told You To

“What we’ve been undergoing to a large extent is a form of psychological abuse, actually, by very narcissistic, hegemonic governments and officials for a very long time. It’s a form of gaslighting where actually our own faith in our ability to judge a situation, and to some extent even our own identity, has been eroded and damaged to the point where we’re effectively accepting their version of reality.” ~ Vanessa Beeley

The only thing that Trump has done so far that the establishment has approved of, beside promises to cut taxes on the wealthy, is to bomb Syria. Yesterday he did it again.

Lies Fuel War and Genocide

I am getting frustrated with some of the blatant bullshit coming out of the pro Assad social media brigade which is, for the most part is supportive of extreme international facism, racist pigs, and in some cases as full of bullshit and genocidal evil ideology as the Al Qaedah/ISIS religious fanatics/Turkish affiliated fascists they fight.

There's nothing worse than being at a party and feeling like no one wants you there.
By "party", I mean the Syrian civil war.
By "no one" I mean everyone in the middle east.

The Syrian civil war was always a proxy war between outside military powers, but this week the proxy element became much larger and much more dangerous.
For example, today are forces are rushing to the Syrian-Turkish border to try to stop our two allies from shooting each other.

Turkey has bombed northern Iraq every once in a while for decades.
This is different.
