seems recently claude together i chose primarily this term rather than the narrower term pro assad because some of the public figures in this list explicitly denied being pro assad but still persistently repeat coraline's of regime propaganda narratives steve bell and glenn greenwald boris johnson norm chomsky let's say the chances of coming across any other list banding these people together are slim you published an article full of lies because you're too lazy and or malicious to care that you're doing it i never defended the assad regime in my life this is astonishing how many useful directory of people defending their sudra sheen what an absolute joke in fact the author was quite meticulous coming up with a ten point quote unquote scale of a side ism and having read through those i figured that maybe i should offer my umbrella systems in completing this list as by no means does it look finished take

this point implying the west has somehow supported al nusra or isis i think we're back in people we have no idea who they are the rebels we call of the rebels the patriotic rebels we have no idea lot of people think you know that they are isis how about expanding it with the whole staff of the us state department they denied entry to the leader of the white helmets over security concerns and after all being mean to them is a capital offense to any individual in any group. suspected of. ties or relations with extremist groups or was that we had believed to be a security threat the united states would act accordingly but as for those who are already on the list interviewed a couple of them documenters is ridiculous in many ways but it's also deeply worrying and concerning the vote is part of a witch hunt against people who don't accept the government line.

intervention in the middle east supporters based on the facts whatsoever. really. takes no kind of whatsoever of my actual views on. what we're looking at here just what this black list is something published by someone who we had never heard of before totally obscure figure this is just like comical level of research and it's being promoted by the same people who have been not only promoting western intervention in syria but who have been dedicated for the past two years to attacking and smearing anyone who gets in their way over the list was a bit of a nobody before giving money to his catalogue but as its popularity swells let the public shaming commence now so playboy nice round up i'll be back in just a huff now with them with their latest headline them.

ratings i'm salutation. let's start to day hawk watchers in yemen the tragic war torn land that many in the u.s. news media jones and to ignore or pretend doesn't exist despite the massive amounts of u.s. military assistance in arms that help devastate that country you see the united states has been supplying logistics intelligence and arms to the saudi arabian led coalition forces since their intervention against the who the rebels inside yemen began back in two thousand and fifteen this support went virtually unchecked or unnoticed by mainstream western news media and political figures until. mid august when a coalition air strike targeted a bus carrying forty innocent yemeni children on a school field trip using a lockheed martin made u.s. supplied missile and when confronted about the airstrike the saudis initially

declare of the school bus was a legitimate military target. in response u.s. senator chris murphy a democrat out of connecticut tweeted out we just bombed a school bus we need to end this now and then a rare instance of a senator or a u.s. senator putting his bill where his tweets are murky actually sponsored an amendment to the latest defense appropriation bill that would have put key restrictions on u.s. financial and other support for the saudi led bombing campaign would have being the key to words here because despite the massive amounts of casualties and devastation our bombs and logistics and caused including the forty dead children that didn't stop u.s. senators led by seven richard shelby of alabama respectively killing senator murphy's amendment. and as if to pour salt on these wounds of political cowardice

and warmongering by senator shelby and his fellow fellow congressman less than twenty four hours after stopping murphy's bill dead another twenty six children were killed in an air strike in yemen last weekend i think it's time to start watching the hawks. what it. looks like. it's like. in the last few days but the bottom. like you that i got. with. this. is exactly. welcome aboard the watch for the dark side to robot and capitalists show the latest another airstrike hits another another

school bass. kills more children and were we seriously have to really like even think about the fact that we should stop. early if you're in the sun yeah especially if you're in the so it's like well. it's tragic but we should we shouldn't abandon our allies in saudi arabia even though they're killing children even though they're killing how does children with our hardware and our logistics and our help and our gasoline and our gas station to centrally but we're not involved we're not there we're not like we're not actually doing anything it's totally different so let's go on lay it out for the good people out there this second airstrikes it wasn't really report about about that but your western media well no i guess there weren't enough images for you know anchors to cry over. so this one was twenty two yemeni children and four women were killed in another airstrike as we said it was on thursday of last week and this was what's really

sad about this whole situation is that these children and these women in this bus were trying to flee the fighting and they were trying to get out of one district into somewhere where they could actually get some kind of cover and be safe so people were taken risking their lives to get these children out of a war zone and they were literally had by a missile that would u.s. tax dollars paid for you know. this is the second time like you said this is the second time in two weeks that this saudi led coalition i feel like they're mercenaries at this point as a result in dozens and dozens and dozens of civilian lives and i think it's very hypocritical that when you're watching the mainstream media right now especially like the big three that these are the same people who cried over every picture out of syria as if it was the under the world they'd never seen and here is children have been starving to death and you don't notice till it's

a school bus and it makes a good headline somehow yeah it does. disturber it's a good point about living this thing is how murphy's amendment what is so scary to them about you know taking a break so we know what's going on you know some of these you know basically came out and said it's mind blowing that this sort of decision you know to continue to be willing willingly participants in this slaughter that they rejected it and destroyed as a member the sense of the moment would have cut off the united states' support for the saudi arabia led coalition's war in yemen until the secretary of defense certify that the coalition's air campaign is not violating international law and u.s. policy related to the protection of civilians the president say the member would have made us follow the rules that were made it was sort of like double check and say hey are they actually following not only international rules but our own sort of rules when it comes to the you know the killing of civilians right going to rules for it by the way we have special rules for the killing we do we do we got to

go to you know remind people not to kill innocent civilians but if they do they should do it in a certain way so it's nice and tidy right but what's interesting to you and what doesn't get talked about a lot of this but my right is also the you know the oil issue in yemen that kind of gets lost in all of this is that just how valuable the oil was to your oil reserves are right well i mean the whole point of of. this is not because there's they're so somebody but he's afraid of terrorists or and so there's some political thing and ideology this is about money and this is about getting hold of about port which is very valuable and getting hold of the oil that is that is in yemen so both oil price dot com and al-jazeera reporting that saudi arabia is planning already planning to build. to build an oil port in yemen and sources from from al jazeera are reporting that saudi arabia is planning to build another all the oil poirot port in the country south east where saudi and u.a.e.

. troops are already there they're saying that you know when you look at or you have and this is like four billion gallons of oil which is great saudi arabia becomes you know this magical tourist land and they just turn yemen into an oil wasteland oh it's coming back to was money and resources don't let them tell you otherwise every war is over money and resources. from the ongoing tragedy in yemen to the ongoing tragedy in syria but the reports that the syrian military is preparing to move on the last remaining terrorist and rebel strongholds in the northwestern syrian city of this week so more of accusations develop between u.s. and russian military officials over the potential for yet another chemical weapons attack and who would ultimately be responsible for it are teeth and cohen has the story. don't be distracted by ridiculous misinformation that's the advice from army colonel sean ryan the spokesperson for the u.s.

led coalition to defeat isis to be distracted by ridiculous misinformation from r.t. the coalition is focused on defeat isis mission and we continue to work with. to secure the region in southern syria the article colonel ryan is warning against quotes the russian ministry of foreign affairs which claimed that militants loyal to be a slum mix state and the own nusra front have infiltrated the roup on refugee camp and that the u.s. is well aware of it what's unclear or perhaps distracting is which claim colonel ryan is taking issue with that there are jihadist elements inside camp or that the united states government is aware of their presence required a refugee camp is located in the region of south eastern syria where the u.s. led coalition maintains a presence despite objections by the syrian government is one of the largest refugee camps in syria hosting tens of thousands of refugees of colonel ryan is

claiming or to use a lying about the presence of jihadist militants he might want to check with the united nations in july a un security council warned about possible islamic state attacks from inside group on campus. the refugees in ripon camp of been hit by four terrorist attacks three of which have been claimed by its law mixtape. if colonel ryan doesn't believe the united nations perhaps he believes the u.s. his own ally here's what general sami cough one of the jordan border guard forces had to say we. know that some people or isis people wind up inside the camp. they. have been for them. to control and to create some sort of sims inside the can. still maintains that the presence of islam mixtape fighters inside rookie camp is a russian conspiracy theory promoted by the united nations and jordan perhaps

n.b.c.'s reporting might convince them otherwise to say so or at least it's meant to be but the jordanian military pilots who took us in wouldn't fly over it and the ice is showing jurors these people fled from our inside it's reporting in washington dan cohen our t.v. . over and over i've seen this happen since i've been here at r.t. and it's one thing i just there is so much talk right now about reporters being you know that the journalists are the enemy of the people and there's so much of that going on and causing such division and here is someone literally going out there and saying that reporter is an r.t.a. that we're all just a bunch of liars that we don't invest people literally risked their lives to cover this story in syria people you know are to reporters and people are out there working for you know these are people ended up on this kill list in order to do their job and i would like to see just once these people act like adults and stop

doing that to reporters because that is exactly how trump and everybody else gets to sit there and say oh the liberal media now we all do agree that just feeds into it just makes it easier it's a great point it's one of those things it's like syria is a mess it's a it's been a mess since this war started there are. there's very rare. really can you can you point to one side say oh there's accurate reporting over here and there's inaccurate reporting over here i mean that's a we're yes it's a confusing and messed up. the fact that like they're going to be like oh well they're spreading this propaganda but you've got like you know all these other budget and outlets you know saying well you know yes probably isis of marijuana that's why we will fly over this and live in the area when you look at a map and you see all of this red space and this is all clear in the only place where there are rebels or terrorists are in this one area and it's where the u.s. says and you're like what are you doing marathon right when you can tell very much

tab i think at the end of the day that you could really see that look we've been giving we've been poured the u.s. been pouring so much arms and support into that country and everybody that we've been giving millet guns to has been flipping sides and going you know one minute they're good guys the next minute they're bad guys one minute they're out a terrorist watch list the next minute they're not then they're back on again you know it's impossible to know who is good and who is bad in that side of that conflict well it seems like whenever you know it works for the mainstream media these major outlets since they get to control the whole narrative there and it's when it works for them yeah we see over and over. it was according to newsweek the just to point this out another rugby you know ball source according to newsweek both the twenty seventeen attack and khan seiko and the two thousand and thirteen.
