  • U.N. agencies “had no viable alternative and therefore proceeded to engage Shorouk despite the elevated risk profile,” the country team wrote to ICIJ. “Shorouk provided better value for money.”

    Well okay then.

    The US, UK, and Israeli imperialists already got what they wanted: Assad deposed by the moderate rebels[1] that they’d funded & armed, so what’s the point of this smear campaign now? Why kick a dead horse? Just to jab at the UN for not dancing to their tune?

    2022: Directing the Moderate Rebels: Syria as a Digital Age Crucible for Information and Propaganda Warfare

    Many details of the Western propaganda and interference schemes in Syria are still unknown, locked in classified internal government and corporate documents. Yet the few leaks and investigative reports we have reveal an extensive, well-funded, years-long propaganda and disinformation warfare campaign waged first against the Syrian government but perhaps more intensely against Western publics. Through groups like the White Helmets and the media they produced, Western governments and corporations backed up their multi-billion-dollar effort to flood Syria with weapons and fighters with propaganda and civil society campaigns worth about a billion dollars. These facilitated rebel administrations on the ground and helped sell a simplified whitewashed narrative of the Syrian Civil War and build war fervor for Western intervention. This built off historical precedents, committed by the same people who engaged in similar campaigns in other Muslim majority countries.
