Thread: U.S. launches missile strikes in Syria

The One America News Network (OANN), a vociferously far-right, pro-Trump media outlet, may not have anywhere near the same audience as outlets like Fox News or CNN. But it has at least one fan: Russia.

After OANN ran a report earlier this week defending the Syrian government against claims that it had used chemical weapons on its citizens — a stance shared by both Russian and Iranian authorities — the Twitter feed for the Russian embassy in South Africa, one of Moscow’s most prominent Twitter accounts, promoted OANN’s findings.

The Russian feed praised the work of OANN’s Pearson Sharp, claiming that OANN’s report shows that “there is still real journalism in the US.”

'@PearsonSharp's recent report on #Syria at @OANN shows there is still real journalism in the US: unlike his colleagues, he actually went to the city of #Douma and spoke to local Syrians – no evidence of chemical attack found, citizens support Assad & view "rebels" as terrorists pic.twitter.com/V6AanfaxNc

The Russian embassy made sure to specifically alert others to OANN’s coverage, including notorious conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter Alex Jones. (It’s not the first time the Russian embassy has tagged Jones, and the feed has a habit of tagging other employees of Jones’ InfoWars conspiracy site.)
Jones described the attack as a “false flag event” designed to smear Assad. Other white supremacists, like Richard Spencer and David Duke, have also come to Assad’s defense following his regime’s alleged chemical attack.

In his report, organized by a Syrian “government escort,” OANN’s Sharp claimed that no one in the city of Douma “said they had seen or heard anything about a chemical attack on that day.” Sharp also claimed that those who said they were victims of chemical attacks were “plants,” and that the chemical attack was actually perpetrated by those opposing Assad.

However, as Sharp himself admitted, he was unable to visit the actual site of the attack. As ThinkProgress’ Melanie Schmitz wrote:

Despite stating that his report is “not propaganda,” for instance, much of what Sharp relays is based on information passed to him during a visit arranged by Syrian government forces, which have traditionally relied on mass disinformation campaigns in the wake of deadly attacks to twist the narrative in their favor… At no point does OANN try to mask the pro-Assad language peppering the report. At one point, Sharp even goes so far as to say that “the [residents say they] were incredibly grateful that President Assad had liberated the town; they were completely in support of President Assad.”

OANN’s reporting generally revolves around pro-Trump conspiracies and conspiracy theorists, from pushing claims that the DNC hacks were an “inside job” to hiring noted Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec. But such credentials appeared to help it gain access to the greater Douma area — even while actual chemical weapons experts are prevented from accessing the site, coming under fire when they try.

Syria Only “Weeks Away” From Bono Charity Single, Warns UN

Fresh terror driving urgent efforts to find a lasting solution to crisis

As the world continues to reel from the latest harrowing revelations from Syria’s ongoing civil war, a fresh terror is now driving urgent efforts to find a lasting solution: the news U2 frontman Bono has ‘taken to the studio’ with the aim of producing a stirring ballad to highlight the suffering.

According to a UN report published this morning, Syria is now “just weeks away from a Bono charity single”, and opposing sides must “act with immediacy to prevent further unimaginable suffering”.

“The mere thought of [Bono] looking earnestly into the camera, pulling a pained expression and rhyming something with Aleppo should be enough to bring President Assad to the negotiations table immediately,” said a UN spokesperson. “We desperately urge all parties to lay down their arms and work towards a viable peace plan to ensure whatever he’s recording never sees the light of day.”

Refugee camps across Lebanon have been put on high alert for the arrival of Bono, Bob Geldof and “probably Chris Martin” following rumours of a music video that will see them “crouching on a muddy floor while surrounded by smiling children in ragged clothes”.

There are no rebels left there they evacuated. The area is under Syrian control. So who do you think was doing the shooting?

Credible? Are you that stupid? The network behind that video has pushed numerous fake news items such as the pizzagate conspiracy. It is a propaganda outlet. But then again idiots like you think Alex Jones is a credible investigative journalist.

It is no surprise you think it would be credible since it is Russia's favorite American news outlet apparently.

Chemicals deteriorate guickly so by the time the inspectors get there won't matter why it took so long. Nothing to see here.

UN said they are getting shot at.

Syria says it has "Full control of Douma" and that "the terrorists have been expelled".

Do you always put two and two together and get 74?

Dumbass.

I told you last week they would do this, as I said entirely predictable and they've done it before.

So Poolside stooge Fisk is a hero to the Putin girls choir.

There's a fucking surprise.

Charity begins at home, so they say, and no surprise Geldof is part of the team this time with a front man to blur the money trail.

But evidence of them doesn't.

Chlorine and Sarin react with other materials.

I'm sure there are plenty of eyes in the sky watching the clean up operation.

If they want to find chems they will, even if none were ever there, and likewise if they didn't there wouldn't be any even if the entire crew go down with botulism.

XXXXX

Pinocchio strikes again.... C u n t s can't get their stories straight, can they?

Russia's deputy foreign minister says foreign-backed terrorists in Syria have been preventing inspectors from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) from reaching the Damascus suburb town of Douma. Mikhail Bogdanov warned on Thursday that Douma militants still pose a threat to both citizens and the OPCW experts.“The recent events show that, unfortunately, the [threat] remains … There are militants who intimidate citizens and, in particular, interfere with the work of representatives of the international community – the United Nations and the OPCW.

Someone does not want an unbiased professional investigation to take place,” he said.

No shit Sherlock.

PressTV-Militants prevent OPCW access to Syria's Douma: Russia


They're so fucking dumb they forget their own lies in the same article.

Last week, Syrian soldiers managed to enter Douma for clean-up operations days after they fully retook the town from foreign-sponsored militants.

Syria returns Assad's Légion d'honneur to France

Syria returned to France the prestigious Légion d'honneur it gave to President Bashar al-Assad, saying Thursday he would not wear the award of a "slave" to America.

Assad was decorated with the Légion's highest rank of Grand Croix, or Great Cross, by former president Jacques Chirac in 2001, shortly after taking power following the death of his father Hafez al-Assad.
