By the end of this week, Assad will have been fitted up for every appalling horror from the Lusitania to the Nolan Sisters -- with 300+ phantom 'chemical weapons attacks' looming large. All of which I consider significant mostly for the way absolutely none of his government's misdeeds, real or imaginary, would even have been mentionable had he gone through the door held open for him by the Blair regime back in 2002. As folks may remember, Bashar and Asma were courted quite shamelessly by our governing clique, right down to a visit to Madge at yer actual Buck House, all of it written up with the kind of fawning, fashion-parade bubble-headedness that shows the elites are up to something...

... Blair & Co, clearly, were hoping Assad -- at that point two years into his presidency -- would agree to be Israel's catamite, to turn away from Russia, to be a servile friend to the US empire, and maybe even to do some of our torturing for us. Had he agreed to that, Syria would have been called -- or, at the evry least, treated as -- a democracy, and a blind media eye turned to whatever its secret police were doing. As it is, Assad didn't play ball, either in the short or the long run, whence photos of his visit were removed from the internet (first I saw 'em, then I didn't...), and the applicable media-political vocabulary switched from 'westernised pluralist taking over a country in a complex and difficult situation' to 'tyrannical tyrant doing tyrant things'.

The anti-Assad hysteria was at its hypocritical nadir ten years ago.

Some of the denizens of New Zealand's leading "liberal" blog did not appreciate this writer's take on the hysteria...

Channel 4 News and Jon "Six Pilgers" back then...

I remember well a Channel 4 News at 7 report from 10ish years ago with an introduction by a very serious toned and animated Jon "Six Pilgers" Snow, in which he said they now had "proof positive" (his actual words, never forgot them) of Assad's "torture hospitals" in Homs.
There then proceeded a video showing a few beds and medical looking detritus and I think some "medical employee" saying how bad it all was.
The video segment concluded with a disclaimer that none of the video or statements could be "independently verified"...only a couple of minutes after being told it was "proof positive".
I remember this very well as I wrote a short email to Six Pilgers about it, asking him how something that could not be independently verified could be "proof positive" and why he thought it was ok to say that in the headline of the programme.
What can be independently verified however, is that I never got a reply.

Spot on....

I saw something there yesterday (which I can't find today weirdly) about how they were struggling to get everyone out of this one prison becuase the "regime" had cut off electricity to certain gates and how they were having trouble finding all the cells because it was such a maze and they were having to get blueprints to find where to go. It was ridiculous. They have complete control and can go anywhere, break down any doors they want and they are talking about there are underground dungeons that "have yet to be discovered" like it's "House of Leaves" or something.

The propaganda blitz is sickening.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
