Dear "journalists" still maintaining #CIA #MI6 talking points on #Syria - "Police state" without context of 75 years of FUKUS clandestine coup d'etat attempts, assassination, regime change ops, destabilisation campaigns is shoddy journalism...
2. During WW2 MI5 summarily executed suspected spies, travesty of justice. Compare to Syrian state Amnesty & Reconciliation project that enables former Syrian members of armed groups to re-integrate into Syrian society. Even alleged "anti-imperialist" journos appear..
3..reluctant to relinquish US exceptionalism when discussing #Syria security apparatus that exists to protect the country against endless military, intelligence, political interventions that threaten Syrian territorial integrity, secular society, self determination of people.
4.The West is rapidly descending into totalitarian, police state territory, yet that is largely ignored by same journalists who point the finger at #Syria, targeted by their regimes for decades. Syria operates under its own constitution, Syria defends itself against imperialism..
5. ..yet very little effort appears to be applied to truly understanding how imperialism affects countries in crosshairs without applying the same #CIA "standards" that have been responsible for Syria's destruction.
