Aaron Mate: Monbiot promotes an 'incoherent smear piece' Archived Message Posted by margo on July 5, 2019, 9:02 am George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot -- "A crucially important article by Terry Burke, that everyone on the left should read. It shows how we've been divided by a "substantial, coordinated disinformation effort" originating with Russian and Syrian state media. 'Russiagate, Syria and the left' LINK https://countervortex.org/node/16383 " "Those of us who recognise the bombing, gassing, starvation, mass imprisonment, torture, repression and assassinations implemented by the Assad government are, as a result of this disinformation effort, depicted as "warmongers". Why? Because we oppose war. "People who claim to be humanitarians ignore or - worse - deny hideous atrocities, such as the sustained bombing of civilians in Idlib for the last month, including attacks on 25 hospitals. Those who deny or dismiss such attacks, thereby assisting Assad, are the real warmongers". ---- - - - - - @TonyCartalucci: "Seems Monbiot thinks the US targeted or destroyed all the nations on its "Axis of Evil" list but for some reason decided not to do #Syria & a "civil war" started just by coincidence. And that all the things he (& the US State Dept) accuse Assad of aren't just this war's "WMDs." Aaron Maté @aaronjmate Aaron Maté Retweeted GeorgeMonbiot "The fact that @GeorgeMonbiot is promoting this incoherent smear piece actually shows how we've been divided by a substantial disinformation effort originating w/ pro-New Cold War, pro-Syria proxy war Western pundits like him. And via careerist silence, too many have enabled it."
