"Nowadays the media do not only support a war, they produce it themselves"
Voltaire Network | Damascus (Syria) | 11 June 2012
by Thierry Meyssan
In a few days, perhaps as early as Friday, June 15, at noon, the Syrians wanting to watch their national TV stations will see them replaced on their screens by TV programs created by the CIA. Studio-shot images will show massacres that are blamed on the Syrian Government, people demonstrating, ministers and generals resigning from their posts, President Al-Assad fleeing, the rebels gathering in the big city centers, and a new government installing itself in the presidential palace.
This operation of disinformation, directly managed from Washington by Ben Rhodes, the US deputy national security adviser for strategic communication, aims at demoralizing the Syrians in order to pave the way for a coup d’etat. NATO, discontent about the double veto of Russia and China, will thus succeed in conquering Syria without attacking the country illegally. Whichever judgment you might have formed on the actual events in Syria, a coup d’etat will end all hopes of democratization.
The Arab League has officially asked the satellite operators Arabsat and Nilesat to stop broadcasting Syrian media, either public or private (Syria TV, Al-Ekbariya, Ad-Dounia, Cham TV, etc.) A precedent already exists because the Arab League had managed to censure Libyan TV in order to keep the leaders of the Jamahiriya from communicating with their people. There is no Hertz network in Syria, where TV works exclusively with satellites. The cut, however, will not leave the screens black.

You often do not include your opinion.
I find it kind of annoying. Is it so hard? So minimal. It is meant to be one or two paragraphs. Im sure a paragraph will not hurt you.
edit- NATO is pathetic. I cant believe how demonic the west has become. It makes me sick.

A link to the source wouldn't hurt either...
Media in any form is our only way of knowing what's happening outside of our own neighborhoods, let alone the world. Hell, they have the resources to make us believe whatever they wish..alternative media can't even hope to compete on an equal scale so what you see is what you get

I'm confused. Thierry's unverified op-ed is not dis-information itself because...?
