Rattling
the Sabre on Syria: Time to Cut Through Media Disinformation
Global Research, September 05, 2013
War, weapons, invasion, incursion, lies,
legalities, murder… Are we really here again?
The headlines of both mainstream and alternative media
are replete with ever-evolving news on Syria. The world is holding its breath
in terror, with many taking to the streets in protest and others working hard
to ensure the truth on Syria reaches as many people as possible in an effort to
prevent what would undeniably be a catastrophic war.
Fingers are being pointed and accusations flung hard and
fast, but there are a few key points to keep in mind. According to Phil
Greaves:
It seems many have forgotten the last two and a half
years of western sabre-rattling and covert military aggression against the
Syrian state. It is worth reiterating that without the vast amount of military,
financial, and diplomatic largesse the west and their regional clients have
thrown at the “revolutionary rebels” in Syria – who have now beyond doubt been
exposed as sectarian extremists, lead and dominated by Al Qaeda ideologues –
the violent insurgency in Syria would have been defeated long ago by the Syrian
army. (See “Syria:
Obama’s Pretext for War“, Global Research)
In addition, Michel Chossudovsky writes:
Global Research has moved to the forefront of
institutions presenting a hard-hitting, progressive, and intelligent critique
of world politics and in particular of American foreign policy. I check it
every day just to see who is on there and what they are saying. We need to keep
this unique voice alive and kicking against the establishment.

Global Research’s work is critical in the face of
mainstream media disinformation and we have managed to remain independent,
acting as a vital information portal. But we still need all the help we can
get. Without the support of our valued readers, the Global Research websites
would not exist or grow. Spread the message, tell friends, introduce Global
Research to discussion groups and classes, distribute our stories, post them on
your blogs and social media pages.
We have been able to develop our activities thanks to the
contribution of Global Research readers. For those who are willing and able, we
ask you to support our
projects and battle to get critical, unreported stories and information out
as a means to challenge the tide of misinformation being used as a smokescreen
for imperialism and war. Global Research does not seek financial support from
private and public foundations. This is why we value every
single donation and contribution made by our readers.
