    I guess if you don't trust Russian sources and don't outright dismiss more mainstream western sources that makes you an American cheerleader.....if so, count this Canuck in!

    The True Human Cost of U.S. Wars

    Altogether, in the three parts of this report, I have estimated that America’s post-9/11 wars have killed about 6 million people.  Maybe the true number is only 5 million. Or maybe it is 7 million. But I am quite certain that it is several millions.

    It is not only hundreds of thousands, as many otherwise well-informed people believe, because compilations of “passive reporting” can never amount to more than a fraction of the actual numbers of people killed in countries living through the kind of violence and chaos that our country’s aggression has unleashed on them since 2001.

    The systematic reporting of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has surely captured a larger fraction of actual deaths than the small number of completed investigations deceptively reported as mortality estimates by the UN Assistance Mission to Afghanistan.  But both of them still only represent a fraction of total deaths.

    And the true number of people killed is most definitely not in the tens of thousands, as most of the general public in the U.S. and in the U.K. have been led to believe, according to opinion polls.

    We urgently need public health experts to conduct comprehensive mortality studies in all the countries the U.S. has plunged into war since 2001, so that the world can respond appropriately to the true scale of death and destruction these wars have caused.

    As Barbara Lee presciently warned her colleagues before she cast her lone dissenting vote in 2001, we have “become the evil we deplore.”  But these wars have not been accompanied by fearsome military parades (not yet) or speeches about conquering the world. Instead they have been politically justified by “information warfare” to demonize enemies and fabricate crises, and then waged in a “disguised, quiet, media free” way, to hide their cost in human blood from the American public and the world.

    After 16 years of war, about 6 million violent deaths, 6 countries utterly destroyed and many more destabilized, it is urgent that the American public come to terms with the true human cost of our country’s wars and how we have been manipulated and misled into turning a blind eye to them – before they go on even longer, destroy more countries, further undermine the rule of international law and kill millions more of our fellow human beings.

    As Hannah Arendt wrote in The Origins of Totalitarianism, “We can no longer afford to take that which is good in the past and simply call it our heritage, to discard the bad and simply think of it as a dead load which by itself time will bury in oblivion.  The subterranean stream of Western history has finally come to the surface and usurped the dignity of our tradition. This is the reality in which we live.”

    Ah, thank you!  I have the CD, must pull that one out today.

    I have one very simple question....

    if all of these chemical attacks have been western false flag attacks, or just completely faked, with the intention of justifying regime change, then why didn't it happen?

    specifically going back to the Obama red line incident of 2013... if the goal was regime change, and these attacks have been faked/false flag attacks by the west to achieve that goal, then why didn't Obama and congress approve action to take Assad out? why hasn't it happened under Trump with the last two incidents?

    or maybe, just maybe, Assad and his Russian bff actually used chemical weapons and have committed the atrocities they are accused of?  


    Good question who really really knows?
    See, that's just it. Unless you are on the ground witnessing it who is 100% certain what exactly happened. That is why you develop trusted sources and critical thinking skills, we aren't all knowing all seeing beings.

    Some of us trust Russian funded sources and some of us trust Western funded sources.

    I believe that Russia propaganda has for years been actively muddying the waters surrounding many world events with the soul purpose of confusion. Throw everything and the kitchen sink out there so nobody believes anything, you can't trust anyone and there is plenty of evidence out there to suggest that is exactly what they are doing. The alternative facts era. Look at Crimea and the 2016 US election as at least two examples. Also look at how Putin came to power and has held power in Russia as another example.

    And sadly, judging by your comments and others here their strategy is working. 
    I hear you and I don't disagree. At the same time, the Iraq lie always looms large in these situations and it should. It isn't just Russia that has muddied these waters. The actions of my own government kicked up a lot of silt too.
    Nobody hear, that I can see anyways is saying that the US isn't capable of this shit too but the evidence in this particular situation at this time points to Russia being the muddier.

    And I don't think you can compare this to Iraq, not the same animal. Again, I was protesting in the street here in Canada against the invasion of Iraq.

    Same here. I was all for Afghanistan but totally against Iraq round two. Those were dark times.

    I keep seeing the words ‘russian funded’ in association with virtually any source that doesn’t align with western positions.  Am I missing proof of payment, or even allegations here?  Asking honestly.  Chussodovsky, Sarah Abdallah, Vanessa Beesley, Eva Bartlett and all of the sites that publish them...are they actually russian funded?  Who is funding Max Blumenthal and Robert Fisk?  
    Big difference between ‘on the take’, and ‘relaying the other position’
    Chussodovsky is a known conspiracy theorist and appears to write for RT... which means he gets paid by RT... which means he works for and gets paid by Russian state sponsored media

    https://www.rt.com/op-ed/authors/michel-chossudovsky/

    Abdallah is a twitter "journalist" with no background, no credentials, no nothing... and could even be a completely fake person for all we know, but proof otherwise?

    https://medium.com/@Brian_Whit/syria-propaganda-and-the-mysterious-sarah-abdallah-a-hizbullah-connection-bd6308975f6e

    Beeley is another conspiracy theorist turned faux twitter/blog journalist... 

    https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/vanessa-beeley-syria-white-helmets_uk_5ad9b6cae4b03c426dad48a9

    Eva Bartlett is a blogger on RT, which again means she is literally on the payroll... and is another example of someone with no credentials, that we really dont know shit about, that has been elevated to "journalist" somehow... I really like the "I Love Bashar" wristband she wore on her state controlled visit to Syria... seems like she doesn't have a bias at all lol

    https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-eva-bartletts-claims-about-syrian-children


    Its amazing all you need is a twitter account and people think you're a journalist that should be trusted

    I may need a Twitter account and become a journalist!


    Ok...so if you’ve ever had anything published by RT or made an appearance on the network, you are on the russian payroll.  Got it.  That pretty much eliminates all mainstream dissent from US/NATO positions. Here's a handy list of 2300 people for you to ignore in the future because they've appeared on RT.  http://www.europeanvalues.net/rt/
    Useful idiots, according to this NGO.  Barry Sanders is a useful idiot x 5, apparently.  
    Some of the people you and your sources have claimed to be bots have been all over media you would never bother watching, laughing about being bots...
    Do you want to comment on the credentials of Blumenthal, Fisk, Pilger, Hedges (who has a show on RT), Hersch, and the credible critics of US/NATO actions in Syria, who seem to have difficulty finding western platforms for their positions?  Are they all paid russian bots?  Or are we only picking the low hanging fruit here?



  • my2handsmy2hands Posts: 17,117
    So again... 7 years of false flag attacks... for regime change... that's your narrative... so why hasn't it happened? I don't think it's really that complicated, your hero Assad has used chemical weapons, get over it... and guess what else, the white helmets are not terrorists... they are nobel peace prize winners...

    It's amazing so maybe people think everything from the use of chemical weapons to the white helmets are fake just to take Assad out... yet there has been zero attempt to actually take Assad out

    Im not going to try to change anybody's mind, its pointless. Call me when 100,000 US troops are on the ground

    Love how you sidestep the rules here by not directing these comments at anyone in particular.  There's a word for that.  A few, actually.  
    Still waiting for your critiques on the work of Blumenthal, Fisk, Pilger, Hedges (who has a show on RT), and Hersch.  Or did you think there was some kind of statute of limitations on a message board, after which you could still save face AND do some drive-by cheap shots?  You're the only person in this thread using the words false flag, btw.

    It wasn't patronizing at all. You're in attack mode (that's what it looks like to me as someone reading it, aka the third party). I am just commenting on that. We're all reading this, which gives us all the right to respond.

    This is not the first time you've quoted me and told me to calm down.  It is the definition of patronizing. You told me how to behave and said it was weird.  Doesn't need to be about me, Allie.  You interpret my post as attack mode and don't like it; report me.  But don't play mini-mod.
    So...Attack mode?  I was responding to a post passive-aggressively addressed to me, in which I was called a sucker.  I replied without calling him any names, and said I was still waiting for a response to a question he refused to answer previously.
    How would you describe the mode of m2h's post?  Cute smartass remark?

    This is not the first time you've quoted me and told me to calm down.  It is the definition of patronizing. You told me how to behave and said it was weird.  Doesn't need to be about me, Allie.  You interpret my post as attack mode and don't like it; report me.  But don't play mini-mod.
    So...Attack mode?  I was responding to a post passive-aggressively addressed to me, in which I was called a sucker.  I replied without calling him any names, and said I was still waiting for a response to a question he refused to answer previously.
    How would you describe the mode of m2h's post?  Cute smartass remark?
    I'm not playing mini-mod - I was voicing my opinion about your post - it was a statement, not a command. It wasn't reportable - not even close.

    False flag my ass, suckers
    Love how you sidestep the rules here by not directing these comments at anyone in particular.  There's a word for that.  A few, actually.  
    Still waiting for your critiques on the work of Blumenthal, Fisk, Pilger, Hedges (who has a show on RT), and Hersch.  Or did you think there was some kind of statute of limitations on a message board, after which you could still save face AND do some drive-by cheap shots?  You're the only person in this thread using the words false flag, btw.
    Yikes. Dude, tone it down. This is weird.
    Excuse me?  I’m toned down.  This IS weird.

    guess I’m the only one having a super shitty Friday.  Someone fight meeee :punch:

    ’dude, tone it down’ is a command, not a statement.  Really fuckin weird choice of times to pick a side. Maybe you (PJ_S) and m2h are toight.  Whatever.  I’m going to go burn one and stay away from this place for a bit.  Too bad, I had some good syria links to get mocked over.

    I'm going to assume you're joking about me being out of control angry!

    Let's please not first-world-problem this forum! ;)
    (but yeah, they're having a shitty time! The world should still be helping more with the refugee problem too. It's almost like that became a fashionable thing to do for about a minute, and now everyone's forgotten about it again.

    Lighten up, Francis...

    You always make it personal and think I'm coming after you... any comment I make you think is meant only for you and is an attempt to disrespect you and then you come at my neck... you might need to burn more than one, amigo

    Oh, I almost forgot, so now the chem attacks weren't false flags? Lol

    How many years? How many chem attacks? All faked by Bashar opposition? For what, to bomb an empty airfield for 5 minutes? C'mon

    Ah, this again.  Every time you don’t want to answer a question, you tell me to lighten up.  Second time it’s happened in this thread, actually.


    You always make it personal and think I'm coming after you... any comment I make you think is meant only for you and is an attempt to disrespect you and then you come at my neck... you might need to burn more than one, amigo

    How many people have you disagreed with in this thread?  There have been two or three people with an opinion that opposes yours.  Of those, I’m the only one you’ve discussed anything with in the last six weeks.  Were you calling me a sucker or not? 

    Like I said to PJS above: you post here to call me (and anyone that shares my opinion) a sucker, providing nothing new to the thread….my reply asks you to answer a question you dodged, without stooping to name calling.  Yet, somehow its ME going for the throat, and its ME that needs to lighten up?  :lol: Ok, sure.

    Oh, I almost forgot, so now the chem attacks weren't false flags? Lol

    I try to avoid the term altogether....it's associated with alex jones and his ilk - carries negative connotations used to dismiss dissenting opinion without debate, or sway the reader by inference...an appeal to pathos.

    How many years? How many chem attacks? All faked by Bashar opposition?

    Read back through the thread.  I’ve already replied to this exact comment.  Then called you out for ignoring my response, and addressed it again.  And now again.  Combined with the name calling, this has to be considered trolling, right?

    It must suck having US bombs fall on your home as well...both sides are wrong.  The only right solution is for the west to get the fuck out of the middle ... especially Canada and the US.
