Using the switch & bait technique so characteristic of them, Assad’s stable of professional propagandists are denouncing the terrorist siege of Damascus where they claim ‘dozens are dying every day from terrorist bombs’ & a convoy of trucks was taken out by one terrorist rocket. We are unable however to find any reports about significant rocket attacks on Damascus or on Hurnah where this photo was taken nor credible photographic & video documentation such as is pouring out of Eastern Ghouta. Without such documentation, this photo may just as well be a flatulence explosion coming from the royal palace of Assad. Such a fabrication does however resonate with Israeli claims that carpet bombing of Gaza is in response to rocket attacks from Hamas in Gaza.

What’s so telling about Assadist war reporting is that they have made vilification of the White Helmets the centerpiece of their vituperations. If the problem, as they claim, is US regime change operations, why do they spend no time at all exposing what the US is doing in Syria to implement that change & all of their time on denouncing the White Helmets? Since they are paid propagandists, it must be that rescue workers expose regime lies about the bombing of civilians & incite Assad & his officials to a high degree of dudgeon & fury.

Stand with the Syrian people & demand the immediate cessation of Syrian, Russian, & US coalition bombing of civilians & the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Syria.
