get I am welcome Caitlyn Justin and today I'm very excited to be speaking to what showing must be one of the most impressive generalists waking today she's an independent war correspondent who is being one of the very few on the ground western journalists reporting from Syria and name is Vanessa bili welcome I bankers are great and finally meet year I think would be a if you2/33
will welcome and thanks so much this really the moment for me I can because office came across you on run polls liberty report back in December rumble with amazing may need he gave me one one of contracts are on you know as close as possible to mainstream button that I could get ready arm platform to speak about my experiences particularly and the lack of sorrow and3/33
god bless them about well you know what he was saying was mind boggling like %HESITATION I had not I heard any of these cities suck people in you know and I've been follow up photo with fairly like across the things but I'm a yeti I had no idea that this is what Lee asked that the actual story was so this is you know where that the4/33
story we hear he is open a bottle with a good guy who is going into this thing Syrians from the terrible aside and he he he was doing Sir and I I must admit they've never really rang true but he was doing so by arming not betting the moderate rebels whatever that means I can you just M. summarize what has been going on in Syria look5/33
like they're rat on no if if if I plan if I can come back to a leper workers %HESITATION for me and I say this but I pretty much all the time I'm a leper actually symbolized exactly what was happening throughout Syria in the sense that the sectarian divisions but well being described from foreign our heroes in Aleppo six years across area by mainstream media corporate6/33
media %HESITATION media that is aligned in time areas and state decide and spoke well spent are in Europe in the UK and in the United States arm was sectarian divisions that will being described were actually manufactured by the various terrorist actions that will bring %HESITATION into it and it info typewritten to Syria bile governments by Obama's administration by the UK regime and by the various years7/33
chains Alan and so when these various extremist factions in grade at Aleppo %HESITATION and divided west apart from east a leper in two thousand and twelve an occupied effectively districts of east of apple which represents that probably less than twenty five percent of the arm or role electricity again abstract it was never ever mentioned by mainstream media until probably two thousand and six thanks very honest8/33
Aleppo is always described %HESITATION and the information was or is being received only for me select or not from the one point five million Syrians opinions living and Weslaco upwards so %HESITATION probably two thousand sixteen when they get so little on longer accused but that whole was bouncing in my select our %HESITATION from the more cares about how kind and those sniper bullets themselves like moments9/33
the chemical weapon attacks from like Truman both state funded terrorist actions in the selector so a leper was divided into two and it was divided along sectarian division lines according to corporate media %HESITATION and I'll come back to that because this is very important the sectarianism but as the many letters on the planning and the regime change war effort and Syria is just bought it cement10/33
%HESITATION certain certain the Sarto cultural divisions that exist in every single so someone like every society across the globe have some level of sectarianism I don't push me what we're saying now unfolds arm really across the broader is the sectarian or or cultural suicide can provide some pressures being you know having white Jews put up much of a shock into them and and I'm a big11/33
wheel inside and some splints and and were saying that's all the time gun not something we can discuss %HESITATION certain base all the pressure prefabricated because I collect sectarian division wise inquires upon a letter and then amplified or rest media and then what we saw was four and a half years of propaganda claiming to be amplifying the voices of those are in civilians and in inverted12/33
commas rebels in east the luck are under a humanitarian results in other words sleeping with millions from but but the moment and sighed and is evil arm army who were of course killing their own people in a slapper and and a gun we can extrapolate that out across there and this is this is the fighting may that is used elsewhere hysteria then we had course the13/33
beseech manner apply purpose are in government was besieging its own people and denying them humanitarian I denying them medical and denying them through Warda arm all sorts of essential elements and they like I'm an end basically it all end means %HESITATION narratives were being amplified on the daily basis by the corporate media by the nineteen or loans Angie arms by the year and %HESITATION that you14/33
know we know effectively as a tool of %HESITATION the near crumbs of that claim the last %HESITATION hurt I practically well it's really the UN security council arm and I'm sorry please make space narratives were perpetrated before an obvious but almost five years another because we had liberation of a and with the liberation of elaborate when and what was extraordinary was leading up to the liberation15/33
of level we had like unbelievable spikes in in propaganda %HESITATION of and an amplification of this narrative in our icon I lost count of how many locals bottles were hit %HESITATION by the Russian and the Syrian apple it seems like I think between lots Adams our November two thousand six things someone recorded twenty six local schools leading in that area all black or that it was16/33
really pretty small write it with any part was one of the other girls were all men and and we knew already that were on the seven existing hospitals according to their locker medical association in a slacker so the fact that twenty six recorded hospitals what would I think nineteen destroyed by that's are in and the Russian apple says %HESITATION was already rendered ridiculous by the fact17/33
that we had from on the ground and not included I'm satellite imagery and lots of little by the way need them out you know and and this is something which is which is actually available to every single media organization yeah sort you know my argument always ends I I'm only doing what every other John we should do on investigate I'm not accepting something that by studying18/33
I'm signing okay like where is the evidence for this I'm not going to report within hours of hearing but a hospital is being bought furniture baby not has been destroyed without verification and without knowing that my sources unaffiliated to various %HESITATION action when extremist factions within that area and that was not a job that the media that they were accepting stories on face value coming from19/33
what we now have identified as being extra active breasts organizations that were effectively affiliates and to the terrorist groups an extremist groups embedded in east the leper side effectively actually you know years we were platforming al Qaeda Ahrar Sharm not I didn't think he regretted the croaker all Palestinians are a good artista on various other package later and outside %HESITATION funded arm a quick terrorist and20/33
extremist groups so when we came to the liberation of the lack of course suddenly having having being all our Marilla or these media outlets disappear paradigms was unbelievable nutrition all of a dialogue about that's a very good reason for records liberation of Iraq are also too absolutely humbling down the line so look lives that had been a few nights and before now yeah and what one21/33
exposed part lies with the voices of the thirteen people but the corporate media our NATO aligned NGOs out problems and you run had been claiming survey I'm replying when in reality they plan on applying the extremist and terrorist actions there had been execute crank right playing why I like saying %HESITATION Stallman there was enough food in east la park to last for at least a year22/33
by the way that we could not ammunition to keep a closer an army going for years for years there were three MRI scans brand new MRI scans found in its let her cry to the conflict with owning one and our eyes and in the whole of Syria wow thought there were brand new hospitals absolutely a quick %HESITATION when when old demise up to date equipment I23/33

gospel of what was described as completely destroyed %HESITATION but not if it's done but it's still standing and it still operation I'm sorry I am real side then courts started find evidence of %HESITATION mass graves I civilians had been executed tortured imprisoned by these extremist and militant factions and then you and started to propagate in our time are claiming that the Syrian Arab army who had25/33
just come in and given their lives to liberate that country is the low end product that country easel up run for many of us are in our bond you soldiers they were fighting for liberate their families many of them were from east the leper and I'm sorry but the rumor that was put up by the UN as a liberation %HESITATION ed finalize was that the Syrian26/33
Arab army soldiers will basically killing their own families raping them relatives hands on guns and violence Baron Darren civilian I mean it it was grotesque and I was actually on the streets when they were when they were when they were propagating let's narrative and I was I I I've never actually beans are in science buying media %HESITATION I I don't even think of west described it27/33
just correct tax than us isn't I guess I just produced first marathon goes up it was completely true with absolutely no investigation nobody on the grounds and even knowing that I had somebody that was on the ground myself and there's a fan of both need for example who would that and you were completely negates and America but it was thought was ignored dry in order to28/33
try but then of course on the ground this is very symptomatic are the media reaction to what is happening sorry you will often see a big story like this which is a distraction technique wrong to night lights and we discovered our underwear on hundreds there in our bombing soldiers and being executed just before the terrorist actions opinion backyards and at least six bombings were tortured my29/33
body mutilated even children Martin and then executes it and when I say I need to like they were I think it was horrendous I never thought just both beneath the writer I you know and and this is a big concern for what is happening %HESITATION across area didn't pick one %HESITATION element of optimism and hope that I would take from this %HESITATION and it was it30/33
was a very %HESITATION poignant moment for me when I when I recognize that was once the finals Harrison extremist factions have been evacuated since uns out the Syrian government %HESITATION analyst in reconciliation a program look people reuniting from east alike are a hundred and ten thousand civilians reunite with west a little money from families and most welcome that they hadn't seen before off yeah as arm31/33
and coming up to Christmas Muslims and Christians Shia and Sunni our own union Christians Serbian Christians celebrated Christmas to gather and celebrate liberation I gotta yeah I'm sorry dots on a story we hear that a lot but but I mean strike me product me but the sectarian division has been imposed upon these people it's that use nonexistent when you remain what our government have have in32/33
fact that this country where which is really the concert okay extremism sectarianism un UNH on so many levels and and you know I didn't not factory huge Exxon was was a huge moment a heart to see within hours a liberation we will basically following with Arianna army usually within twenty four hours of each district been liberated so we were coming in ask people coming out of33/33
