The Armed Forces of the Syrian Arab Republic are conducting a powerful offensive in the suburbs of Damascus, trying to clear them from terrorists and to protect the capital from attacks. Over the past week and a half, gangs have lost about 40% of the territory they controlled earlier.
While Syrian government forces are battling with jihadists in Eastern Ghouta, Western media twist the switch of propaganda to the maximum, in effect opening a second front in favor of the militants – the information front.
Before we could forget the girl Bana from Aleppo, as the American television company CNN is already ready to offer a new “Bana” – this time named Mohammed Najem – the TV channel shows a video recorded by a certain teenager, calling him a military reporter from Eastern Ghouta.
In the corner of the screen, during the report, a disclaimer appears in small print. “CNN does not vouch for the authenticity of the video content.” A good attempt to absolve yourself from responsibility. But the note will disappear from the screen, unlike the seeds of lies, thrown by Western propagandists through the screen.
If to take a close look at Najem’s account on Twitter, you can see that the first subscriber was a certain Qusai Noor. And Nur himself “friends” on Twitter with the CNN’s producer of news programs.
The American edition of BuzzFeed claims that Noor. is Najem’s older brother, which he himself told them.
Among the many accounts that Najem follows is the host of CNN, Michael Weiss. Weiss, for example, does not hesitate to post photos on which he poses with Islamist militants in Aleppo.
With its new “star,” CNN acts on the same patterns: just like Bana’s video, Mohammed Najem’s recordings are supplemented with dramatic background music. And this is not the inclusion of Ghouta, but the whole short film.
The same methods, the same goal: to overthrow the legally elected president of Syria and the legitimately elected government, to plunge the country that dared to rebel against the West and became a breakaway for the “Arab Spring”, into incessant chaos and war.
