Voices From Syria: A Testimony to The Bravery and Resilience of The Syrian People
Review of Mark Taliano's Book
That the public in the West could have been so misinformed, was the fault of CNN, BBC, NYT and other media outlets. They prostituted themselves to the power elite in Washington D. C. Independent reporting was not their task. They were part of the international war party, which wanted to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, to establish another Islamic dictatorship according to the Saudi Arabian model. Already in August 2011, President Obama said, “Assad must go.” Assad is still alive and kicking, and Obama is old news.
The Western propaganda machine didn’t even flinch from creating a false humanitarian organization, named “The White Helmets.” A British intelligence officer established it, and Western powers poured in 100 million US dollars. These folks were, in fact, al-Qaida affiliates disguised as paramedics. They operated in East Aleppo, long held by different terrorist organizations. The biggest fake-producing company, Hollywood, even awarded an “Oscar” to “The White Helmets.” The British journalist Vanessa Beeley was the first who disclosed this charade. “The White Helmets” cared only about wounded terrorists.
Besides these reports, Mark Taliano‘s
Book “Voices from Syria” brings another aspect to a wider audience.
Taliano, who is a Canadian investigative reporter and Research Associate
at the Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG), shows an entirely
different reality about Syria. He gives ordinary Syrians a voice. He
reveals that the Western powers undermined the Syrian government and
exposed it to attack. Apparently, the West has been fighting against the
“criminal Assad regime” while, simultaneously, combating Islamic
terrorists.In his foreword, the director of CRG, Professor Michel Chossudovsky, emphasizes the concern of the author, namely, “what unites humanity with the Syrian people in their struggle against foreign aggression.” Taliano was interested in the “mystery” of the courage and resilience of the Syrian people to endure six years of NATO-sponsored terrorist and “peacemaking” airstrikes that devastated the civil infrastructure. Strikingly, is the author’s documentation of the fight of the Syrian people against “NATO-terrorism.”
Taliano’s book dispels several Western myths: The so-called “war on terrorism” is a fraud.
The US and its coalition partners have created ISIS as stooges in the
first place to bring about a regime change in Syria. The West mocked its
aggression as “humanitarianism” to create heaviest crimes. That this
aggression violates international law goes without saying. Without the
massive propaganda support of the mainstream media, the “news” could not
have spread that Assad oppresses and murders his people. If that had
been the case, Assad would be gone long ago. The book shows that Assad
has the support of the majority of the Syrians.Mark Taliano (image left)
The author has good advice to the media:
“The mainstream media must reinvent itself. They must stop spreading war propaganda, and they must begin to report truths based on evidence.”His book provides a convincing testimony to the bravery and resilience of the Syrian people, who have been fighting against an alliance of Western aggressors and Islamic terrorists for over six years. The fact that one of the oldest cultural nations of the world is bombed back to the Middle Ages by the West and its Arab allies is not only a colossal war crime but also a crime against humanity. The book corrects a large part of Western propaganda claims on Syria. Very readable and revealing.
Excerpt from Preface:
Between 15 and 23 September
2016, I travelled to war-torn Syria because I sensed years ago that the
official narratives being fed to North Americans across TV screens, in
newsprint and on the internet were false. The invasions of Afghanistan,
Iraq, and Libya were all based on lies; likewise for Ukraine.
All of the post-9/11 wars
were sold to Western audiences through a sophisticated network of
interlocking governing agencies that disseminate propaganda to both
domestic and foreign audiences. But the dirty war on Syria is different.
The degree of war propaganda levelled at Syria and contaminating
humanity at this moment is likely unprecedented. I had studied and
written about Syria for years, so I was not entirely surprised by what I
saw.
What I felt was a different
story. Syria is an ancient land with a proud and forward-looking people.
To this ancient and holy land we sent mercenaries, hatred, bloodshed
and destruction. We sent strange notions of national exceptionalism and
wave upon wave of lies. As a visitor I felt shame, but Syrians welcomed
me as one of them. These are their stories; these are their voices.
