There was a time during the 30-month covert dirty war on Syria when
the Western governments and mainstream media would make a clamor over
reported massacres.
Now, despicably, these governments and media just ignore such atrocities.
Why? Because it is increasingly clear that the groups committing
these crimes against thousands of Syrian civilians are the
foreign-backed mercenaries, whom the Western media and their governments
have tried to lionize as “rebels” fighting for “democratic freedom”.
That charade is rapidly disintegrating, exposing not just criminal
Western governments sponsoring the violence against civilians, but an
entire media industry that is also guilty of war crimes through its
willful complicity.
This is not mere hyperbole. To disseminate false information and lies
about conflict – under the guise of independent news – is to be
complicit in covering up war crimes. You can hardly get more serious
misconduct than to tell lies about crimes against humanity.
These toxic lies and propaganda are now being exposed as the
Western-backed plot to subvert the sovereign state of Syria unravels;
this unraveling is accentuated by the West’s death squads becoming even
more unhinged as they stare at looming defeat at the hands of the Syrian
army.
The latest massacre occurred in the town of Khan al-Assal in the
northern province of Aleppo. Some 150 people, mostly civilians, were
reportedly slaughtered in cold blood. Many of the victims were shot in
the head execution-style. The groups claiming responsibility are the
al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front and Ansar al Khalifa.
