Defiance: Aleppo Woman Refuses to be Terrorized Out of her City
November 13, while at the Aleppo University residences which are housing by conservative estimates over 10,000 internally-displaced Syrians (16 buildings, each housing roughly 240 families, according to officials on site I spoke with yesterday), a woman stopped me to say hello (she'd seen me on Hone Halab).

- Welcome to Hadar: A Village Under Siege by al-Qaeda and Israeli Forces Alike [June 2018]
The village of Hadar, in Southern Syria, is buttressed on one side by Israeli watchtowers and walls – and endures deadly attacks from jihadist Syrian "rebels" from the other three.

"When the area of Ma`raba [near al-Tal, a suburb of Damascus] was targeted by the Israeli enemy, cameras were focused on the targeted area even before the missiles hit."
"Everything that has taken place in Syria and in the region — all the blaze erupting in the region, under what they falsely called the Arab Spring — serves the interests of Israel. These are not my own conclusions; rather, it is the Israeli media who talk about this. The Israeli prime minister appeared on television when he visited wounded terrorists, injured while fighting the Syrian army, being treated in Israeli hospitals. This is number one.
The other issue is that every time the Syrian Arab Army is making an apparent advance, Israel conducts an aggression [airstrike]. When Israel is unable to achieve its objective, it seeks the help of the United States, just as it did when the U.S. Air Force targeted the Tharda Mountains in Deir ez-Zor as the Syrian army was en route to clear Deir ez-Zor of terrorists.
I hope that you underscore the following statement: Those who sponsor terrorism don’t fight it. Israel is an entity based on both killing and falsehood. When Palestine was already inhabited, they claimed that Palestine was a land without people and wanted to give it to people without a land. Thus, the United Kingdom’s Foreign Secretary, Arthur Balfour, gave what the U.K. didn’t own to those who didn’t deserve it."

In studio interview on George & Gayatri Galloway on their RT program, Sputnik Orbiting the World.
"Speaking truth to power ought to be the duty of journalism but it is not. Speaking the power's "truth" is the way to get and keep the gig in today's media – and if you do so, you’ll be richly rewarded with money and flattery. One of our frequent guests, Patrick Cockburn, had a great journalist father, Claud Cockburn, who said that the relationship of the journalist to power should be that of the dog to the lamp-post. Nothing is true, he'd say, until it has been officially denied. Fortunately, every now and then a journalist emerges who goes where few dare, who speaks what few will speak, without fear or favor. One such journalist is Eva Bartlett, so we invited her into the Sputnik studio to speak truth to power."

Samuel Hasson is an American of Syrian descent. His grandfather was Syrian, and in 1995 he first visited Syria, visiting numerous times afterwards, eventually meeting what would become his wife. He and his Syrian wife moved to Syria in March 2011.
We discuss the realities he was seeing and hearing in Syria versus the lies reported on corporate and Gulf media on Syria, as well as many other aspects of life in Syria and the long-manufactured war on Syria.

Recently, it was my huge honour to speak with Mr. Randy Hillier, an Independent Member of Provincial Parliament for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston, Ontario.
We discussed Canada's increasingly totalitarian measures over the past year plus, under the pretext of keeping Canadians safe from Covid, as well as the incessant fear-mongering of the government and media, the utter lack of logic to the public health policies put forth, the hypocrisy of people in positions of power saying to do one thing but doing another (clearly indicating they do not believe in the rules they impose), and the Canadian public's shocking embrace of harmful totalitarian policies.
Randy Hillier has been an MPP for nearly fourteen years and is thus well-experienced and well-versed in the inner workings of politics that most normal Canadians might be unaware of. He sheds light on how many of the anti-science Covid policies that have been enacted over the past year are the result of lobbying on behalf of powerful corporations, and are protected by Canada's bureaucracy, where it becomes nearly impossible to hold an elected member, or a non-elected Chief Medical Officer, accountable, even if one has evidence of wrong-doing.

Healthy interactions, shops opened, people strolling, no chaos, no policing of social distancing, just normalcy... Thank goodness I'm in Syria during Corona, the interactions I have with people here daily soothe my soul.
*Update:
I think for most of you I don't need to make this point, but for newcomers I will.
Damascus was subject to relentless mortar and missile terrorism from eastern Ghouta for years. I started coming to Syria in April 2014 and the mortars then were intense, and intense until eastern Ghouta was liberated from the terrorists who made life hell for people in Damascus and for people in eastern Ghouta.
The scenes in this clip are largely joyful, but I would wager there are very few families who haven't lost a family member or relative to terrorist shelling and also car bombings, as well as kidnappings.
Now that there is peace in Damascus and much of Syria, there are still other levels of suffering, particularly the economic situation after over 9 years war and under the brutal western criminal sanctions on Syria.
People are not suffering overwhelmingly from Corona here (according to the official government statistics, as of April 21: "42 cases, 6 of them have recovered while 3 have died.") but they are suffering all over the country from the devastation of Syria's economy and the sanctions. Just a note to balance out the otherwise happy vibe. The people have been put thru hell and back.

A look at part of the labyrinth of tunnels the terrorists formerly occupying Douma used to evade detection and thus prolong the misery of civilians held hostage by terrorists who executed civilians and hoarded food.

"I've talked to 10 kidnap victims who where liberated from Douma, was asking them about a fiend of mine who was kidnaped but they knew nothing about him .
The important thing that they all said that hundreds of kidnapped Syrians where forced to work in digging these tunnels and many of them died because of :
1. Hard work they were forced to do day and night.
2. Bad nutrition.
3. Sickness because of not seeing sunlight, they were forced to stay underground for months.
Terrorists forced kids who were 12 years old to work in these tunnels.
these tunnels took hundreds of innocents lives."
