Governments and Media Justify Bombing Syria from Fakenews Created by Propagandists 'White Helmets'
The initial media outrage about an alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria was sparked by a social media video of people allegedly being treated for a chemical attack. A boy from Douma has become the centerpiece of the claims that Assad launched such a chemical attack. But these claims are sourced from fakenews social media sources that the government and media has previously said were not to be trusted since they (government, media) are supposed to be the "true news" sources.

Hassan Diab is the young boy featured in the video who has been used as the sentimental prop to justify aggression towards Syria by bombing it. The Arabic division of RT news found Hassan and talked to him.
The boy and his mother were brought to the hospital, where he had cold water poured on him while being filmed for propaganda. This created the imagery to mold the minds of Western viewers into believing a chemical attack happened at the hands of Assad. All people needed were lying words and images to convince them an unreality was a reality.
Visiting Douma ‘chemical attack’ site: Witnesses recall how White Helmets shot the video
The original video that claimed a chemical attack was the cause of children being drenched in water, was released by the supposed impartial humanitarian NGO 'Syria Civil Defense', otherwise known as the White Helmets, which is a group linked to militant rebels that is used to wage media campaigns against Assad. Based on this groups claims of a chemical attack supported by a well-engineered fakenews video, the governments of the USA, Britain and France launched attacks on Assad. This is despite not having verified the claims of a chemical attack.

The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was supposed to go into Douma to verify the chemical attack, but is being prevented from doing so by militants in the area. Despite the international team being unable to verify the chemical attack, this didn't stop the bombing from taking place based on unverified claims from fakenews created by the White Helmets group who has their bills paid by Western governments.
Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame denied a request for a White Helmets representative to speak at the end of his concert in Barcelona, instead saying on stage:
"The White Helmets is a fake organization that exists only to create propaganda for jihadists and terrorists... If we were to listen to the propaganda of the White Helmets and others, we would be encouraged to encourage our governments to start dropping bombs on people in Syria"
And that was said before the bombs were sent to 'help' Syrians.
The US State Department was freezing $200 million that was going to the recovery in Syria, meaning the funding to the White Helmets was supposed to be cut as well, but that isn't the case. US State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said she "just exchanged emails with them the other day," and "as far as I'm aware, all of the work still continues. Peoples' bills are still being paid."
So that means despite $200 million being cut to help Syria recover, the White Helmets propaganda terrorists are still being funded. What a shocker. Don't help the people you just bombed, but keep funding the fakenews liars and terrorist group that you want to help you take down Assad and the Syrian government. Way to go US government, being model great humanitarians and human rights supporters, sending 'humanitarian' bombs in the place of real aid.
The government and media are against alternative news, claiming it is the domain of 'fakenews' while claiming they are the source for 'true news', yet they are the ones who pay for the creation of fakenews like this Douma video of non-existent chemical attacks, and attach that fakenews to Assad in order to bomb Syria some more under humanitarian pretenses. What a sick joke.

Without the internet, I fully understand how WWI and WWII happened.
With the internet, WWIII should be scrutinized a lot more and not happen quite as easily.
I those days it was lack of information
Theeses days we have so much information floating around that it is even easier to hide the truth behind bullshit
For 70% of people if its on the news= it must be true
Yes, it's a good tool to have, but like @eddard says, there is an information overload where people have a hard time sussing out what is true from false an don't even want to try :/
Not so sure. The internet is a tool that can be used for good or for bad.
With a locally-oriented distributed network, maybe. But that's not what the internet looks like at all these days.
It is difficult To understand what exactly is happening in areas of conflict, because it's hard to get the correct information, if not experienced it myself, many news propaganda spread in the media, because each of the warring parties will publish news that is favorable to himself, and cornered the opposing party. I Live in Aceh ever experienced a problem like that, a few years ago while going armed conflict between Aceh and Indonesia.
Yup, verifying what happened elsewhere is hard to do.
What happened in Syria; is it true that Asad uses chemical weapons? Apparently it's just a mere slander. Let alone attack his own people, chemical weapons alone Asad does not have. It reminds us of what happened in Iraq first.
The reason for bombing and invading Iraq in 2003 was, said US President George Bush, Saddam Hussein owns and uses Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), which apparently was not found in Iraq at all. At a recent Republican (US) convention, President Trump firmly stated that the Bush administration had lied. "You call it whatever you want. I want to tell you. They [the Bush administration] lied, "Trump said, as quoted by US professor in the field of Islamic History Brian Glyn Williams.
Surprisingly, it is now Trump himself who bombed Syria, with similar (slanderous) reasons, that Syria, he said, has used the Chemical Bomb. For the affairs of these lies in Syria,
Yeah, apparently some lie and some fall for lies, either way they bomb others :/
it's really cruel of this world, just wait for the Muslims from Aceh to rise, then they will knock all the hearts of Muslims around the world to unite.
Dear @krnel . It's a very painful post. We know that Inspectors from the international chemical weapons watchdog are to start an investigation into an attack on a town outside Damascus that killed more than peolple and child. In your sharing vedio we know that,
Hassan Diab is the young boy featured in the video who has been used as the sentimental prop to justify aggression towards Syria by bombing it. it's very painful for us.
Syrian opposition activists, rescue workers and medics say more than 40 people were killed on 7 April in a suspected chemical attack on Douma.
We do not even want to see Syria attack.Big Country and Media have to play a key role. A ruthless attack on Syria could trigger the start of the Third World War. So it is possible to eliminate it as soon as possible.Thanks for sharing about syria condition.keep going sir Best of luck.
I remember seeing other stories where there would be earlier footage and the later the "official" footage in an effort to cover up certain things. Folks like to be spoon fed their news. They do not fact check what they are given. Thanks @krnel.
great news

Your narrative would be a lot more convincing if it wasn't based on an investigation by Russia Today.
Is that advice or skepticism? Everyone from Vanessa Beeley, toJames Corbett, to Pink Floyd has called out the white helmets as a western funded propaganda organization.This isn't even the first time that the child that was plastered all over MSM, has later gone public to tell a very different story.
And besides that, the idea that RT is less reliable than American main stream media is laughable as well.
RT is largely American journalists in America talking about America. And thanks to the very real rampant corruption in this country, they don't need to make anything up.
Hey, If Beeley and Corbett say it's true, it must be true. Pink Floyd, too? You mean THE Pink Floyd, those scholarly experts on foreign affairs? Well, then. I give up. How can anyone possibly argue with those authorities?
It is good that you are skeptical of the official White House narrative. But it's like, Duh, man. Politicians piss on you with contempt every day. The important question is, WTF are you going to personally DO about it? Talk? Whine and complain? Go smoke a joint?
What are you going to do about it, slave? When is all of your skepticism (which makes you sound oh so smart) going to mature into action?
In the first place, you accusation that I'm a slave is totally baseless since you don't know a damn thing about me. Maybe I'm part of a group of concerned citizens that are organizing to expose establishment trolls on the internet. You just don't know.
Also, talking, whining and complaining is one of the BEST things we can do about it. So much of what these psychopaths in power get away with, is done right under our noses. Just for instance, 85% of children that end up being sex trafficked come from somewhere in the government system, either foster homes or actually in CPS custody.
If everyone was made aware of that one fact. It would have to stop. All it will take is for it to be public knowledge, and they will no longer be able to keep taking our children from us.
I'm in no position to spread this information. I'm afraid, no one listens to me. But I appreciate individuals like @krnel who are stepping up and using their influence to expose their horrendous crimes. These subjects desperately need all the coverage they can get.
But despite our disagreement, I gotta thank you for saying I sound smart. That made my day:)
I want to make your day, @heretolisten! Don't be put off by my rough style and assertiveness; I'm role playing to kick start some real dialog about real issues here.
Yes, you are presumably a slave, although I don't know that for a fact. Glad to hear, though, that you are not contented in your enslavement. Keep making noise, and help @krnl make noise. Noise, per se, is worthless. To matter, it must lead to action. Effective action.
No, if everyone was aware that every fucking politician is a pedophile, no, it would not have to stop. It would just mean that they could stop doing it in secret, and they would begin to do it openly. Such is their contempt for your powerlessness.
You are a slave just as much as those poor people in North Korea are slaves. Only the particulars differ. You are utterly powerless, just as they are.
So, what are you personally going to do to empower yourself and those around you?
"No, if everyone was aware that every fucking politician is a pedophile, no, it would not have to stop. It would just mean that they could stop doing it in secret, and they would begin to do it openly. Such is their contempt for your powerlessness."
I strongly disagree with that statement. They only have authority because normal people don't know how sick and deviant they are. If that becomes undeniable fact, I believe it would undermine their entire power structure.
When it comes to pedophilia, there's simply no moral ambiguity.
And thank you for your intense concern about what I'm going to do to empower myself. I'll just say that I consider empowerment to be found through conquering internal demons and achieving inner peace, rather than badgering those around me to get their shit together.
That is why they piss on your head every day and laugh. They know that you will do nothing.
My remarks are not targeted at you personally. My point is that the present largely urban population in the so called "free world" are utterly powerless to do anything because they, like you, think that "empowerment [is] to be found through conquering internal demons and achieving inner peace". They, like you, think like passive children rather than like good, strong adult men and women who are vigilant in guarding their liberty and, if someone renders them powerless, they fucking kill whoever is doing it so that their liberty is restored.
But not the likes of you. You will gab on social media, bitching and complaining about the evil in the world that you are powerless to stop, and you will think that you have accomplished something. It is the mindset of a child. Children complain about their parents but it does not occur to them to revolt and set things right.
So I ask again, what are you going to personally do to set things right? Don't tell me about contemplating your navel, conquering internal demons, and achieving inner peace.
Hows this post for you then? https://steemit.com/informationwar/@jasonliberty/reporters-now-in-douma-confirming-no-evidence-of-chemical-attack-staged-provocation-pretext-for-war
The point that I am making is that whether we are being told the truth is not an interesting question. OF COURSE we are not being told the truth. The important question is what you are going to do about that?
You have no answer to that question because you know that you are fucking powerless; you have no idea what to do about it other than whine and complain like children, like women.
