Biden, picking up Trump's baton, has kidnapped Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab for the crime of trying to feed Venezuelans in defiance of US sanctions designed to prevent that.

Venezuelans aren't allowed to eat so long as the D.C. Mafia has marked their gov't for regime change.

I wish I could tell the Amy Goodman I once worked for, and learned a lot from, that a future Amy Goodman would be approvingly airing *full CNN reports* on @democracynow about an African country targeted by the US government.
Fortunately, there are alternate media outlets that aren't trying to parrot CNN. On the war in Tigray, @BTnewsroom has been airing perspectives banned from US corporate media (and @democracynow): breakthroughnews.org/post/crisis-in… breakthroughnews.org/post/former-et…
CNN journalist reports that her questionable story that Ethiopia's civilian airliner is smuggling weapons -- credulously aired and promoted on @democracynow -- is now leading the US government to consider "the use of targeted economic sanctions."

Remember when @MaxBlumenthal's @TheGrayzoneNews scoop about collaboration between UK gov't, Reuters, & NATO troll farm Bellingcat got slapped with a Twitter "hacking" warning? I'm glad that hackers give info to journalists. Just interesting what gets a warning and what doesn't:

With Clinton lawyer charged, the Russiagate scam is now indicted, by @aaronjmate mate.substack.com/p/with-clinton…
The indictment of Clinton attorney Michael Sussmann offers new evidence that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory was the product of fabrications involving Clinton's 2016 campaign: the Clinton-funded Steele dossier, and now the Clinton-funded Alfa Bank scam. mate.substack.com/p/with-clinton…
Overlooked so far is that the Alfa Bank fraudsters gave a fake cover story to the journalists, Franklin Foer and Dexter Filkins, who promoted their scam: after alleged Russian hack of DNC, they claimed, they were just scouring web traffic to "protect" Republicans from hacks too.

I received some negative reactions to this statement below but no rebuttals. Here are my sources from the world's top orgs:

Before the dirty war, "Syria had one of the best-developed healthcare systems in the Arab world." WHO, 2015:
emro.who.int/images/stories…
Pre-dirty war, Syria had "universal, free health care for all its citizens," and "enjoyed some of the highest levels of care in the region." But war "overwhelmed the system, and created extraordinarily high levels of need."
(UN expert on sanctions, 2018)
ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
Pre-dirty war, "the Syrian economy was one of the best performing in the region." Under state control of agriculture, "Syria was the only country in the Middle East region to be self-sufficient in food production." This led to a "thriving agricultural sector"...

The US regime should be held accountable for falsely accusing the Assad regime and concealing intelligence that pointed to the culpability of foreign-backed jihadi death squads in Syria. Ample reporting and open source-evidence backs this up. #noimpunity
Sy Hersh reported in LRB that US intel knew that Syrian insurgents acquired sarin from Turkey; UK tests found Syrian gov't stockpile didn't match the sarin used in Ghouta; Al Qaeda had a sarin production cell. (lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v35/…) (lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v36/…)
MIT's Ted Postol and ex-UN inspector Richard Lloyd found that the range of the Ghouta rockets was outside of Syrian gov't-controlled territory. (nytimes.com/2013/12/29/wor…) (s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentclo…)

The expert sources I speak to are confident that we will not see *any* debunk efforts, just whining on social media. They're confident in the professionalism & accuracy of your study, which makes me confident too.
Happy to be proven wrong. Study is here: rootclaim-media.s3.amazonaws.com/syria2013evide…
As predicted, there will only be whining on social media. To illustrate, this THREAD from regime change troll @im_PULSE cites three old articles -- all written by himself (😂). None address or refute this study and the reporting that bolsters it.
This thread does however continue one of my favorite media sub-genres: people with zero journalism accomplishments thinking that they have grounds to scold and dismiss the reporting of Seymour Hersh.
