There’s No Genocide in Aleppo: Canadian Activist Exposes Western Media Lies

How can the corporate media maintain that the Syrian government is attacking civilians in Aleppo when every person that’s coming out of the areas occupied by terrorists is saying the opposite?

If you scroll through your Facebook News Feed or Twitter Trends these days, you would come to know about Bana Al-Abed, a 7-year-old Syrian girl who (along with her mother Fatemah) is live tweeting her daily struggles living in war-hit Aleppo and seeking help over the past few weeks.

Or if you go to Google News and search Aleppo, you would find headlines like:

However, what you would not find is the truth:  That what is being reported in the western mainstream media is a propaganda-driven last ditch effort to convince a largely ignorant populace that the Assad regime and Russia, and not the rebels, (funded by the West, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Qatar, and Turkey) are behind the ‘unthinkable atrocities’ (some going so far as to call it a genocide) civilians suffer in Aleppo.

Canadian journalist and human rights activist, Eva Bartlett, who has been to Syria four times since April 2014, blasted the western mainstream media’s coverage of the Syrian war in an emotional speech at a UN press conference arranged by the Syrian mission to the United Nations.

The corporate media narrative, she argued, is meant to mislead the unsuspecting American and European public about what is really happening in Syria; by demonizing President Bashar Assad’s government and altering the facts on Russia’s support for Damascus:

“I’ve been many times to Homs, to Maaloula, to Latakia and Tartus [in Syria] and again, Aleppo, four times. And people’s support of their government is absolutely true. Whatever you hear in the corporate media is completely opposite. And, on that note, what you hear in the corporate media, and I will name them – BBC, Guardian, the New York Times etc. – on Aleppo is also the opposite of reality.

“As for the agenda of some corporate media: it is the agenda of regime change. How can The New York Times or Democracy Now maintain until this day that this is a civil war in Syria? How can they maintain that the protests were unarmed and nonviolent until, say, 2012? That’s absolutely not true. How can they maintain that the Syrian government is attacking civilians in Aleppo when every person that’s coming out of the areas occupied by terrorists is saying the opposite?”

When she asked a reporter from Aftenposten, Norway’s largest newspaper, who challenged her claims that the western media was lying, to name one international humanitarian organization operating in Eastern Aleppo, he didn’t have an answer. To which, Bartlett pointed out:

“There are none. These organizations are relying on the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights [SOHR], which is based in Coventry, UK, which is one man. They’re relying on compromised groups like the White Helmets. Let’s talk about the White Helmets. The organization receives its funding from Western states with their own interests in Syria such as the U.S. and the U.K. They purport to be rescuing civilians in Eastern Aleppo and Idlib, [Yet] no one in Eastern Aleppo has heard of them.

 “The White Helmets purport to be neutral, and yet they can be found carrying guns and standing on the dead bodies of Syrian soldiers. Their video footage actually contains children that have been ‘recycled’ in different reports; so you can find a girl named Aya who turns up in a report in say August, and she turns up in the next month in two different locations.

“So they [the White Helmets] are not credible. The SOHR is not credible. ‘Unnamed activists’ are not credible. Once or twice maybe, but every time? Not credible. So your sources on the ground – you don’t have them.”

  1. This is the same what media, US, UN, EU, etc picture out our president Duterte but do they know why people 86% still support the President? It is because the media, US, etc is reporting the opposite.

  2. I had never heard of Syria’s President Bashar al Assad, when I worked for John E. Mack at CPRNA. The first time may well be during President Barack Obama’s Administration in response to reports of chemical weapons used in Syria and the whodunit’s subsequently cast in the wake of Syria’s civilian population. The term, “Islamic Fundamentalists,” had a resurgence, ebbing since Yassir Arafat,
    One of my favorite films, “The Usual Suspects” was featured on late night TV, over and over for a year, eh?” it’s always interesting.
    Now I wonder, if Assad remains in power will he, build more
    Educational Institutions, Concert Halls, Art galleries, maybe
    International Childrens Vacation Campgrounds, like Camp Arteck
    in the Crimea was for the USSR in it’s day playing host to the
    Children of 70 countries including the American girl Samantha Smith, whom I had the great good fortune to have met personally,
    or will President Assad seek nuclear power and the “BOMB” and become another country meeting the criteria of CPRNA’s to be disqualified on grounds that it brings enmity and consequently creates an affected domain for it’s children. Isn’t there enough of that already?.
    “We follow with great interest, the fortunes and decisions of persons in position of leadership: Our self-regard rises and falls with their successes, vicissitudes or failures, and we second-guess the choices they make. For many of us the identification will continue–for some, more readily than before–if the leaders position deteriorates to the expression of personal, often destructive, impulses that are no longer associated with the constructive solution of human problems.
    The destructive leader, and the eagerness of a large segment of the population to identify with him comprise one of the central threats — if not the greatest threat–that faces human society. The power or potential power, of such leaders in the contemporary world is awesome, and the public is acutely aware of this fact. There is perhaps, and we do not understand, an increasing There is perhaps, and we do not understand, an increasing unwillingness to entrust our well being and our lives to individuals unwillingness to entrust our well being and our lives to individuals unwillingness to entrust our well being and our lives to individuals and whose ultimate purposes we are ignorant of. There is available in modern depth psychology, if used appropriately in conjunction with other disciplines of the social sciences and the humanities an approach to understanding of public figures that may help to choose more rationally those we would wish to allow to govern us or at least to designate those to whom we would deny this privilege.
