Mainstream Media And The Art of Trolling

Imagine this scenario: You receive a call at work, a hysterical voice on the other end of the line screams there has been an accident in the neighborhood, and your child is somewhere on the street..

You rush hysterically from work, reaching your neighborhood you are met with scenes of chaos, emergency vehicles and sounds of screaming sirens fill the entire area, you see body parts on the ground, people are frantically searching in the debris, seems there was an explosion, could be a gas pipe or a vehicle, you are still in a state of shock, when you suddenly notice a small body on the ground with familiar clothes, as you rush towards it, you notice a small pink school bag which you remember very well, your mind is very confused, as you realise, that this is your child laying on the ground, body charred, with limbs missing and covered in blood, gasping as she takes her last few breaths. You see at least a dozen bodies with the same horrific injuries, body parts are scattered everywhere, at the same time several news crews arrive on the scene as one begins filming the area a reporter starts asking witnesses about the circumstances surrounding the explosion and their reactions, people watching this live at home are commiserating with you, when suddenly the TV presenter notices there's a sign on the other side of the street with the words written upside down, turning his focus, the reporter begins asking questions about the sign .. People watching from their homes start laughing, 'activists' on media pick it up and begin sharing it on social media outlets, immediately the main media focus is on the sign, with the massive tragedy already forgotten.

At the hospital with what's left of your child's body, you watch desperate people rush in and frantically ask for names of the deceased and injured, while the TV monitor in the corridor screens images of the “upside down” sign, as the presenters make jokes from their studios. Tell me about your feelings then.

If you think this cannot happen, continue reading below.

Under the title: Misleading Media on Syria - Shaping Public Opinion, I aim to post a few examples of how the NATO aligned mainstream media is used to systematically shape public opinion by fabricating, misleading, dis-informing and deliberately manipulating in order to further the goal of theirs paymasters.


I endeavor to show irrefutable evidence of incidents that occurred while the NATO media was playing a huge role in demonizing the Syrian state, its army, its police & security forces, even normal people who just didn't support the NATO imposed 'spontaneous public uprising' on them. These examples, aired by media channels based inside Syria, have caused these channels to be banned by the same parties preaching Syrians 'democracy' & 'free speech'. On December 05, 2011 the European Union ministers of foreign affairs convened to come up with a decision that will stain their foreign policy & label them hypocrites forever. They decided to ban a number of Syrian based channels, namely Addounia  the privately owned satellite channel, Champress a privately owned website & Al Watan Newspaper a privately owned newspaper. And not surprisingly the Arab League, (a formation representing the governments of the Arab World, with the exception of Syria) issued an order on September 05, 2012 to 2 satellite management companies, Nilesat & Arabsat, sponsored by the League, to take down Syrian State satellite TV, Syria News another state owned satellite channel & Addounia TV the privately owned channel from air, for no publicly stated logical reason. But perhaps this is the real reason:


Exhibit no. 13: Public opinion VS Imperialists 
The Art of Trolling 

Syria has been subjected to an evil plan called the Arab Spring, we discussed this in detail before and you can check one of the tens of posts earlier on this same blog to see how they depended on the stupidity of the Sheeple and they weren't disappointed: The Arab Spring, A Spontaneous Public Uprising, Or Is It?

When the plot failed in Syria to follow the paths of Libya, Egypt and Tunisia and people didn't take to the streets in the 'soft revolution' as was planned, the always ready terrorists were a must to be used, and Al Qaeda was imported from Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, even from Egypt & Tunisia, the project is about to collapse and all the gains are about to vaporize if the plotters didn't react fast, and we started hearing terms like: 'President is killing own people', 'Freedom', 'Massacres', 'Random Tanks Shelling', and all these terms we got used to while the real perpetrators were none else than NATO's most valuable asset: Al Qaeda.


But what is the real plan? Is it really spreading democracy? Out of a sudden and after killing millions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen.. the western leaders want to export their 'wonderful freedom & democracy' to our region? The answer is not as difficult as you think and the goals are so essential: 'Control riches resources and secure Israel'.

The Levant is the next Persian Gulf, lots of riches including vast quantities of natural gas, oil, uranium among others were discovered in between Syria, Lebanon, Occupied Palestinian territories and Cyprus. This is a must have for the western economies. Add to that, the West wants to build the gas pipeline called Nabucco Pipeline, on one hand, and another pipeline (we accurately dubbed 'Camelistan'), on the other hand. The latter pipeline is meant for Qatari oil to get to Europe through KSA, Jordan, Syria then Turkey and from there to Europe thus cutting Russian pipelines feeding Europe now. This network of pipelines has been nicknamed 'Pipelinestan' by Pepe Escobar, a brilliant political analyst.

That's not all, there's another very important goal for the west to achieve in our region which is 'protecting the security of Israel', even if it was on the account of their own citizens, they don't care. Most of the wars in the region including the invasion of Iraq, were having this main purpose on mind, remember dismantling the Iraqi army was the first decision of the US in Iraq? To achieve such a goal there should be a shift in the ideologies of the major armies in the region and namely: containing the Turkish army and dismantling the Syrian and Egyptian armies. While they are very successful on the Turkish front where tens of top army generals either resigned, imprisoned or early retired for no logical reason, read this piece 2 years ago, which was followed by many generals resigning in bulk ore ending their services one way or another: Step by Step to Tayyiban Revolution or Reborn of Rebublic of Turkey?


On the Egyptian front there's a huge success for the western powers now with Muslim Brotherhood in power and I wouldn't want to waste my time here repeating how this terrorist organization was founded, supported and supplied by the west, but now the Egyptian Army is being exhausted in internal issues and being morally weakened to avoid being any threat to Israel.

In Syria, well.. Here is where the western powers are still working hard to 'achieve democracy' in any way they could, even getting their old buddies from Al Qaeda and rebranding them: Freedom Fighters, Rebels, Free Syrian Army, Jabhat Al Nusra.. whatever, just to exhaust the Syrian Army systematically while the mainstream media, NATO's propaganda machines work hard to demonize the army by repeating: Syrian Army killing own people and such silly accusations to engrave it in the conscious of their audience: the Sleeping Sheeple. We reached a point where NATO openly is funding, training, supplying, leading Al Qaeda members in Syria and fighting them in Mali, Afghanistan and elsewhere. A friend of mine sent a comment to newly appointed John Kerry saying: 'We have a problem now, our friends the rebels want to kill our friends in the opposition' and attaching the following video clip to him:

How to secure the 'Jewish State of Israel' and control the resources of this region? Install puppet regimes who would follow orders blindly, but the Iraqi experience taught the west a huge lesson: after 8 years of direct occupation and as soon as Iraq started to get a grasp on its own sovereignty, the country shifted alliance from being a US stooge to the opposite camp. So the plan was keep on dividing the sovereign countries in the region into smaller, controllable sectarian based entities and keep them fighting together as long as possible to wear each other out, or ethnically cleanse the region and fulfill the biblical prophecies by working on establishing the Jewish Empire waiting their king, the anti-Christ, and on the other side support the establishing of an Islamist (not Islamic) state and laugh at the less educated and call it: the Islamic Caliphate.. The Rise of the Caliphate, is an excellent short piece to check.

A brave young man went on a personal journey from the city of Idleb, north west of Syria, into Turkey, the country that is mainly behind the 'spontaneous public revolution in Syria' as if their own Kurdish prosecution is not enough for them, and came back with shocking and disturbing facts he put it in this report: Shocking Facts from Behind Enemy Lines.

There is a major problem facing the western powers when it's coming to Syria, they are not winning for many reasons, one of them is they exposed their own plans very early that the real international community noticed and helped Syria avoid a western intervention to install 'democracy' in the country.


And there's the Syrian Army which is adored and supported by the Syrian people, I know you might feel stupid reading this if it's new for you, but it's about time you wake up: (Syrians Adore Their Syrian Arab Army)

And finally the media is not working out because Syrians have a very long established anti-propaganda powerful genes in their 7,000 years of history accumulated, which arrogant plotters at the Pentagon ignored when they planned for the 'New Middle East' through 'Creative Chaos'.

In order to divert attention of the truth seekers in the west who started realizing what fools they were in supporting this evil plan in the Middle East called the Arab Spring, NATO propaganda turned to what it does best: Trolling.

53 mostly civilians were killed, 238 wounded and the count is still on, was the toll of a deadly suicide car bombing in a Mazraa residential neighborhood in Damascus yesterday. The horrible images from the scene were beyond describing. And instead of focusing on those lives lost and for what reason? And how to help the Syrians fight this kind of terror? Are the western countries doing good in supporting these 'freedom fighters' in the country, well that's not the goal, right? The propaganda machines come to work, and use all the trolling experience it has. There are millions effected from the Syrian Crisis, but there's this one single person let's concentrate on..! Remember the single Chinese blind man activist representing the aspiration of the 1.5 billion Chinese? The Burmese single activist Aung San Suu Kyi, who once her role is over and 'democracy achieved' we started hearing stories of thousands of Muslims being killed in Burma whom were protected previously by the 'evil junta'?

There's a man who is either planted as an infiltrator to discredit the Syrian state media, or he has a personal media appearing desire, who trails the Syrian TV whenever it goes to a scene of a terrorist attack to appear on the screen and express his feelings. This single person is being picked by the mainstream and the 53 killed, hundreds wounded story was dwarfed in exchange. Remember the example this post started with? Imagine yourself in the place of someone who lost a love one in this bombing then check the Lede Blog of the New York Times, the western leading trolling propagandists, they pick on the man and present him in a sarcastic way in a very obvious trolling strategy:


Then comes the other trolls for rescue, other mainstream media would pick on this single person and start spreading this piece of information diverting the attention of the Sheeple to something with a hidden opinion shaping: 'Whatever comes from Syrian State Media is a lie', which the sleeping conscious would apply to the news of those tens killed and hundreds injured then start to look elsewhere.

A propagandist spreading the blog among the Sheeple who picks it immediately
Since when would a correspondent of a one news agency promote posts of another?! How thoughtful! 
And that's not taking sources to build a story, that's mere marketing of another outlet, but the professionalism isn't important at all here, media competition isn't as well, it's destroying Syria which is to achieve at any cost.

28 retweets and 4 favorites in less than an hour then 38 retweets and 9 favorites in less than 10 hours. Don't you love social media? 

Trolls 'activists' make sure to attach the link of the trolling piece on each post talking about the suffering of Syrians
Which is more important? The story of the killed ones or the story of a man who might be an infiltrator by the way, to focus on?! 

Now you get it? I hope so.

WMDs: They fool you, they keep fooling you and they enjoy fooling you,
not because they're smart, it's because you're foolable.
I encourage you to visit each link provided in this post if you are a truth seeker, otherwise, 
go back to sleep.

  1. Syria's most outraged bystander - the man who shows up on state TV every time there is a bombing (19 times and counting
    http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/21/syrian-televisions-most-outraged-bystander/?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimesworld

    still can't account for the same random guy showing up as a witness on Syrian State TV at various bombings? Strange isn't it?

  2. Strange, Brian, is your glaring lack of simple human decency. Fifty - three human beings (some of them school children) dead, at the hands of mostly foreign barbarians, over 200 injured and you focus not on the atrocity, but on some articulate man's words being used over and over to condemn the savagery. Shame on you.
