11 October 2013 — RT

[That Human Rights Watch (HRW), a US-aligned so-called NGO, is now accusing Syrian rebels of committing atrocities in Latakia, indicates at the very least, a change in tactics by the US government but don’t hold your breath for any kind of lovefest between Obama and Assad. See also NATO’s turnaround. WB]

At least 190 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage by Syrian rebels financed by private Gulf donors in an August 4 military offensive in the Latakia governorate, according to a Human Rights Watch report.

When Propaganda Masquarades as News By Prof. James F. Tracy

24 November, 2012 — Global Research

The week-long Israeli onslaught against largely defenseless Palestinians in Gaza that began on November 14 provides a basis for assessing how Western corporate media whitewash the war crimes of America’s foremost ally in the Middle East. There are three often intertwined techniques consciously applied to such news coverage—historical context, sourcing, and objectification of the enemy to be targeted. Such practices can readily transform journalism into propaganda that acts to abet such crimes while at the same time allowing journalistic institutions to still claim the mantle of “objectivity.”

Syria: US-Backed Terrorists Mass Murder Unarmed Civilians By Tony Cartalucci

The Washington Post claims “soldiers” were executed – terrorists in video clearly refer to victims as civilian “shabih.” Victims had no weapons, uniforms, or IDs indicating they were soldiers.

An egregious war crime was reported on by the Washington Post, but deceitfully and purposefully spun and shrugged off. In the Post’s article, “Syrian rebels execute unarmed government soldiers; dozens killed in fighting,” it is first reported:

Syrian rebels executed at least a half-dozen unarmed government soldiers Thursday after attacks on checkpoints near the town of Saraqeb in northwest Syria. Continue reading →

Foreign Policy by Terrorists and Thugs in High Office

Murder, sabotage, bribery, contract killings — and that’s just the behavior of Western political leaders and their Arab allies. Forget the fancy titles, manners and clothes — ongoing violence in Syria shows that the foreign policy of these powers is being conducted by terrorists and thugs in high offices. Which let’s one glimpse what level of barbarity is being perpetrated by the Western terror army, running amok in the streets and villages of Syria. Continue reading →

Careless readers might think report covers Western atrocities committed in Afghanistan and Iraq

012 – The Western press leapt into action, promoting and sensationalizing a recent report on alleged “torture” taking place in Syria. The Human Rights Watch (HRW) report, is based solely on 200 alleged victims of the abuse including opposition members and alleged defectors interviewed either by phone or Skype, or in terrorist havens inside NATO-member Turkey along the Turkish-Syrian border.

The U.S. Empire’s Achilles Heel: Its Barbaric Racism
 
American racism will always cripple its ability to occupy non-white countries, whose people the U.S. fundamentally disrespects. “The United States cannot help but be a serial abuser of the rights of the people it occupies, especially those who are thought of as non-white, because it is a thoroughly racist nation.” The latest atrocities in Afghanistan are just par for the course.

The “Lone Gunman” of Kandahar Province? "The Dehumanization of the Enemy" Engrained in the Behavior of US Soldiers… By Andy Dilks

14 March 2012 — Global Research

The official line for the atrocity carried out in Kandahar has now been clearly established: a US soldier went off base alone in the night and proceeded to kill 16 civilians in a nearby village before setting fire to the bodies. Condemned as “intentional murderers” by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the US government has announced the obligatory “rapid and thorough” investigation. Tensions were already inflamed over the burning of the Quran by American soldiers, and following on from the revelation of “kill teams” collecting body parts as “trophies” and the leaked footage of troops urinating on dead Afghans, there is much concern that the latest atrocity will escalate tensions and stretch even thinner an already fragile relationship between the occupying US Army and the local population.

China: Western Historical Sympathy Is Too Much To Expect

Western historical sympathy too much to expect By Yuan Hui

It’s not that Western observers aren’t sympathetic, but anyone’s choice of who they sympathize with is affected by those closest, culturally and politically, to them. In Western films and literature, there are numerous works depicting the historic tragedy of the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, but the tens of millions of Soviet or Eastern European victims of the Nazis receive far less coverage.
