Today I visited Douma, a place that like many others in Syria is in ruins from the 10-year war. Douma is also the site of a major atrocity & pro-war deception: the massacre of civilians by insurgents to frame Syria’s government — a crime covered up the OPCW along w/ US-UK-France.

These bread lines, and this “economic meltdown”, is the intended result of US sanctions that punish Syrian civilians for the US gov’t losing its Syria dirty war. If our media covered Syria as journalists, not as state lackeys, the sanctions wouldn’t be buried well below the lede.
