In the Orwellian world of post 9/11 hysteria and the Global War On
Terror, speaking truth is a revolutionary act. Indeed, such is evidenced
by the fact that speaking out against terrorism is now enough to cause
you to be labeled as a supporter of terrorism. At least, that is, in
certain instances.
This is particularly
the case with Mimi Al-Laham, (aka SyrianGirl), a young Syrian woman who has been active on
YouTube, social media, and
her own website in speaking out about the Western-backed destabilization of Syria.

Before the Iraq war of 2003 there were twenty pro war plugs in the MSM to go to war for every lone anti-war plug to not go to war.

The media are structurally incapable of seeing “foreign news” outside the lens of state-corporate power. They aren’t searching for truth, as I had been led to believe in my “professional” training; they are committed to “manufacturing a consensus” (as Chomsky and Ed Herman termed it) behind these powerful interests. Because real events in much of the world, especially the developing parts of it, reveal the ugliness of the west’s pursuit of its interests, the real job of foreign reporters is to equivocate and obfuscate – in fact, to betray the truth. “Presentation” is not concerned with clarity and generating interest, as De Botton assumes; it is designed to conceal the true goals of western foreign policy.
