Now banned from YouTube, Eva K Bartlett ( @Reality_Theories ) was kind enough to sit down with me and share her experience of living in Gaza.
She describes the horrific conditions suffered by the Palestinian people and numerous war crimes perpetrated on a daily basis by Israel providing an educated and qualified perspective you'll likely not hear reported in the Western Media.
In our conversation, I did note that many of the Palestinian voices in Gaza who I'd recommend following for updates are in the dark, after Israel cut off every aspect of life to Gaza. For now, I strongly recommend people follow:
At Pakyon Waterfall, around 130 km south of Pyongyang, North Korea.

On March 15, I spoke with author and Russian military expert, Andrei Martyanov. His commentary and analysis are based on a deep understanding of Russian military and geopolitical issues.
Among many important things discussed were:
-that Ukraine has used prohibited weapons against the people of the Donbass, repeatedly, including White Phosphorous
-Ukraine's use of Ukrainian civilians as human shields, a war crime, preventing them from leaving areas of conflict (much as terrorists did Syrian civilians)
-why Russia is conducting the denazification operation
-that the hatred of Russians and calls for their murder amongst Ukrainian nationalists is not a new thing, but decades old
-that there will be a Ukrainian war crimes tribunal to hold accountable the criminals who have perpetrated untold and horrific war crimes
-Ukraine's biological weapons
-the blatant propaganda and lies in the media war against Russia, much like the manifold lies we saw around Syria
Please do listen to the entire discussion, and consider supporting Andrei's work.

While re-visiting Aleppo in May 2018, investigative journalist Khaled Iskef took me to see one of the White Helmets headquarters in Aleppo, this one in Ansari (where the propaganda film "Last Men in Aleppo" was staged).
Corporate media insists the White Helmets are neutral, supremely benevolent rescuers. Yet, their headquarters are always next to those of Al Qaeda, Faylaq al-Rahman, Nour al-Din al-Zenki and co-terrorists.
Khaled walks me through the area, explaining how the White Helmets occupied a school for their headquarters and video productions. The school is now restored and being used again as a school, under the security of the Syrian government.

Early last week, Turkey, Syria & surrounding countries experienced a series of earthquakes & aftershocks which tragically struck Syria and Turkey the hardest, killing over 35,000 people now, including over 4,300 in Syria.
Syria has already suffered over a decade of the West's devastating war on the Syrian people. Now this tragedy.
I spoke with Marwa Osman to discuss the impact of the West's cruel anti-Syrian sanctions on the current rescue & relief efforts in Syria. Marwa is a Lebanese journalist, political commentator, host & producer of the Mideast Stream, and a university lecturer.
“It's already devastating in Syria because of the cumulative effect of the sanctions. Before the earthquakes, the sanctions worked on three specialized levels:
The first level is on the financial institutions in Syria that are directly linked to the government. If you want to wire money from outside of Syria to any bank in Syria, it has to go through the central bank of Syria, which has been sanctioned since the early days of the war. Which means if you want to transfer & wire money to the people affected by the earthquake to their bank accounts in Syria, you can't, because its still under sanctions...
The second level: the health sector in Syria. The sanctions are on everything within the governmental institutions in Syria, one of which is the Ministry of Health, which controls all of the health sector in Syria. Syria does have privatized hospitals, but majorly all of the hospitals in Syria are controlled by the government, because everyone has the right to have medical care in Syria. By doing these sanctions on all institutions related to the Syrian government, you by default sanction the health sector in Syria.
Third: sanctioning any country that deals with the Syrian government, whether buying selling products, especially medical products or machinery needed for reconstruction, ambulances...You're not allowed to deal with Syria or you will be sanctioned...If you have the right technology, you can detect whether there are people under the rubble. Syria isn't even allowed to buy this technology, because of the sanctions.”

Kidnapped women and childen from #Sweida, held by #DAESH for two months. This video is said to be 11 September and negotiators are still trying to rescue them. 200 of their family members were murdered in July. The US occupation of #Syria (e.g. at al Tanf) allows safe haven for these terrorists.
