It’s really a moot point now, because while the battles for Syria to retake the areas of their country that were stolen from them over the past six years still roll on, the 24 hour media cycle has long since also moved along and nobody, at least in the West, is still thinking about what occurred in Aleppo (if they ever did think about it) during the past years and earlier this year. But I want to do my part in ensuring that the truth of the matter is historically recorded, not lost behind the false image that has been predominantly foisted on a public more concerned about ‘celebrity’ antics than what is going on that actually matters or should be held to be important, in the world around them …and so I am reblogging, for the record, this fine piece of documentation on those events in Syria by independent journalist Eva Bartlett.

It is kind of heart-breaking that such action should be necessary but in a world where deception and obfuscation of the truth seems to be acceptable and even ‘normal’, even at official national levels, what else can we do to combat the laying down of false claims of historic events?

I congratulate and offer gratitude to brave people like Eva Bartlett and others (Vanessa Beeley https://thewallwillfall.org, Sarah Abed https://sarahabed.com/) for the great work that they do as truth-tellers. Why is it that it is mostly brave women appear to take the front ranks to lead this ongoing battle for truth?
