A compilation of a few visits to the fair, to give a taste of the pulse of life that thrives after the liberation of areas in and around Damascus of terrorists' savage and brutal rule. -Fares Shehabi on Damascus International Fair On September 6, 2018, the day of the opening of the 60th Damascus International Fair, I spoke to Aleppo MP Fares Shehabi. He spoke of the fair and fairs prior, noting that last year's fair was bombed by what the West dubs "moderate" terrorists [https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mi...], and that for 6 years the fair was not held at all, again due to the terrorists who were surrounding Damascus. Fares Shehabi: “The 59th fair, last year, was in August. Those in eastern Ghouta, the so-called 'rebels', al-Qaeda gangs, they targeted the entry of this fair and killed some people, visitors and participants. One lady from old Damascus, was killed, she was participating in this fair—she had a clothing garment factory—and she was killed at the door, along with three or four people. Thank God the Syrian army liberated eastern Ghouta and we don't have any more terrorists there, and everybody's free now, and safe—that's most important.” "We expect high participation from many countries and local firms. It's about a political statement, an economic statement, that we won this war and we will win also the reconstruction war, and this is just one proof of it." This year, with eastern Ghouta and areas around Damascus liberated of terrorists, the fair can proceed in peace. Syria continues to show the world what strength, resilience, humanity and love remain as ever in this beautiful nation. https://youtu.be/6wqf0FnKgUc -60th Damascus International Fair Opening Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqiekZP3b-A -Mr Osama Satea on 60th Damascus International Fair and Syria's Return to Peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFEb5lSQK8I ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBpAlEGfK3k

Recently, I spoke with UK-based writer Iain Davis, author of the blog, In This Together, and also a contributor to 21st Century Wire, the UK Column, OffGaurdian, ZeroHedge and the Corbett Report, and author of several books. Iain has worked in health and social care most of his life, working predominantly with people with mental health, substance misuse and acute housing needs, and has always maintained a keen interest in geopolitics. Read more on his about page: https://in-this-together.com/about/ We discussed why he was from early on skeptical of the pandemic narratives, as well as some of the crazy measures taken in the UK, fear porn in the media to further demonize those who choose not to take an experimental, and highly risky, Covid jab. He also highlighted ways to resist the absurd measures being imposed under the pretext of public health.

From his about page: “I speak out because I know humans have the capacity for immense strength, compassion and solidarity. I’ve seen it every day, throughout my working life. However, we are constantly pitted against each other by an establishment built upon the concept of ‘divide and rule.’ These divisions can only ever lead to conflict. Often, that is the intention. Yet division is not innate to us, rather we have it thrust upon us by leaders who promise solutions but operate a strategy of tension. I firmly believe that we, the people, have the capacity build a better society. I hope, through my writing and content creation, I can contribute, in a small way, towards reinvigorating critical thought.” *Please consider supporting his work!

In May, I visited the village of Hadar, in Syria's southwest, bordering the ceasefire line and attacked for years by al-Qaeda and other terrorist factions. While there, I took the testimonies of several Hadar residents.

Zaitsevo, a village in the north of the Donetsk People's Republic, has been relentlessly shelled by Ukrainian forces/paramilitaries since 2014, and continues to be bombed nearly every day and night. The population has dropped from 3,500 to 1,600, including 200 children. I interviewed Irina Dikun, head of the administration of Zaitsevo, who spoke at length on the terror civilians have faced over the years and continue to face with the Ukrainian bombing that erupts nearly every single night, targeting civilian homes and village infrastructure. "Those who could leave, left. Mostly it's elderly remaining here. None of the ceasefire agreements (24/5) reached here. Not more than 1 or 2 days of ceasefire," she said. "They are destroying street by street in the town. They take one street and destroy it house by house. Then they turn to another street. There was a school, and a kindergarten, before, but they were both destroyed by Ukrainian artillery. So now the children go to a district of Gorlovka, by school bus, organized by Mayor Prikhodko of Gorlovka. The paramedics, the emergency, don't go farther than this building, it's too dangerous to go further. So, someone has to use their own car to go, if somebody needs help over there (near frontlines), and take them to the point where medics can then take them to Gorlovka. Also, the soldiers help civilians who are injured." Dmitry Astrakhan, the DPR press officer who accompanied me and provided translations, said: "I want to add that Ukrainians shot at medical vehicles and fire brigade vehicles, even if they are white with red crosses. So it's really dangerous to go farther (than the administrative building)." [Note: This is also a tactic used by Zionist soldiers, targeting Palestinian medics, something I've experienced first hand, in 2009: https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/israeli-sniper-targets-uniformed-medics-what-i-witnessed-in-gaza/ https://ingaza.wordpress.com/2009/01/05/israeli-army-kills-palestinian-medic-with-dart-bomb/] Irina's words are powerful, please do listen to this courageous woman, whose closing words were: "Western weapons are used to kill us. We don't wish for any person to live through what we are living here now. What is here is something you don't wish for your enemy." ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFsLzCxAKwM
