In our fist interview, Canadian independent journalist Eva Bartlett deconstructs the propaganda campaign based on her research and her own on-the-ground reporting from the conflict zone. Next we hear from British journalist Tom Duggan. He has spent the last four years of his life residing in Damascus and brings us a recent report about the carnage he has witnessed and the role of Western media in abetting the crimes that continue to unfold. Finally, Patrick Henningsen, founder and editor of 21st Century Wire, brings us his analysis of the actual reasons for America's interest in undermining the Syrian government, the strategies being pursued in the wake of Syrian military victories, and where Turkey, the Kurds, and Israel fit in.CKUW newsFri, 09 Mar 2018 08:25:06 +0000
