We know the world’s leading press lies about Israel but it’s worse on Syria
Calling a spade a spade, truth to power
How do leading international press organizations have the audacity to claim that Syria’s dictator just ‘won’ ‘the elections’ with 95% of the vote?
They even admit that:
- All 5 million voters who fled the war-torn country could not vote. Or as one press agency words it, they “refrain[ed] from voting.”
- Some 8 million voters in areas where his opposition (the Kurds) is strong were excluded too.
- These 5 plus 8 million are half the population. But they report “voter turnout was around 78%, with more than 14 million Syrians taking part.”
- They quote the Assad’s government that says the election “shows Syria is functioning normally despite the decade-old conflict.
- There was no freedom to campaign or even run for the office.
- There was no international supervision.
It also touts a “a UN-led peace process” no one has ever heard of.
And then they claim: “European and US governments blame Assad and his aides most of the war’s atrocities.” No, they don’t just blame him. They researched it in depth and come with lots of proof.
And then they write that regime “opponents and the West say [it] was marked by fraud.” It wasn’t marked by fraud. It was fraudulent, 100%.And then their preposterous conclusion:
“Assad …’s re-election is likely to deepen the rift with the West, driving him closer to Russian and Iranian backers as well as China.” What total nonsense! He’s not re-elected. Just, his dictatorship continues. The ‘election victory’ was certain. And, of course, is he seeking cooperation with the largest dictatorships in the world, Russia and China.
My next wonderment is how any outlet passes on this nonsense and pretends it’s informative. This is beyond fake news. By the Free Press.
