The Syrian Girl video: #RefugeeCrisis: What the media Is hiding

Below is of the start the transcript of the above 13:24 minute video “#RefugeeCrisis: What The Media Is Hiding, Help #SyrianRefugees Go Home” by Mimi al Laham, also known as “the Syrian Girl”.

This is Syrian Girl. The media’s painting the refugee crisis as an acute issue, but the Syrian war and refugees had been there for four years and Aylan [Kurdi] wasn’t the first child refugee to drown. Last month an eleven year Syrian girl old drowned off the coast of Egypt. So, why is there such a media push now? Well, it’s just in time for when France, Britain and Australia were asked to join the US’s war on Syria. In fact, the US asked Australia to join his coalition a week before Aylan died. So, they’re using sympathy for this child’s death to drop bombs on more children while crying crocodile tears over them as they run from those bombs.

Just look at this headline from the Sun: “BOMB SYRIA” “FOR AYLAN”. You’d think they’d make themselves less obvious. This is the city that Aylan comes from. The area was blown to smithereens by the US. Rupert Murdoch couldn’t even wait for Aylan’s body to go cold before he started exploiting it for more war on Syria. …

Bazz,

Of course it isn't spontaneous. The main tactic to achieve a world caliphate is immigration, legal or illegal. If unarmed invasions are allowed to continue, ALL people in the weak, suicidal West will have their bums in the air and their heads facing Mecca. Those chumps wanting to bomb ISIS have their eyes on the wrong target.

Hi Methusalista,

Thanks for another one:

(a) The US is all-powerful and all-evil;

(b) The US is engineering a campaign to overwhelm Europe with refugees, and by putting all their governments at such an inconvenience, is trying to persuade them to join in the bombing of ISIS.

(c) Kobane, where that child came from, wasn't destroyed in the fighting between ISIS and the Kurdish patriots but by US bombs, before the US stepped up bombing raids on ISIS. Devilishly cunning - who would suspect that they could destroy a city before they began bombing, while ISIS stood idly by ?

(d) Therefore Murdoch is engineering all of it, to sell more papers.

Brilliant ! Amazing how the minds of some people work.

That happens to also be the view of Paul Craig Roberts, who worked as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy in the Reagan administration.

Ah yes Loudmouth, the same studio Fox made the
moon landing, 2000 a Space Oddessay and 9/11.

Hi Methusalista,

So .... you're saying that a member of the Reagan administration is slagging the Obama administration ? Okay ..... and your point is ?

Sometimes things are not hard to understand. A Syrian girl dies and it gets very little attention. Two small boys are drowned, in the midst of tens of thousands of people trying to flee across the Aegean and Mediterranean and it gets attention. Well, yes: tens of thousands are fleeing, and this is one of the consequences. Seventy one people dying and rotting in the back of a truck is another consequence.

I don't think we've seen the crest of this wave yet :( Millions want better lives, away from civil war and brutality and corruption - and all just a boat-rip away from Europe. With winter approaching, I fear there will be many, many more drowned in the seas. And sooner or later, Europe will turn off the tap of compassion. Other ways have to be found to stop the flow of misery.

So how can this ghastly war in Syria be brought to an end as soon as possible ? Say, in the next five years ? Which is the worstest enemy in this war ? ISIS. Which is the second worstest enemy ? Asaad. One thing at a time.

What will replace Assad, IF Syria survives as an entity, which is unlikely ? Hopefully, a democratic, popularly-elected government - but such transitions have been very rare in history: people who have never known anything but dictatorship may not have a very developed notion of fair play, of democracy, of one-person-one-vote, and whoever gets most votes (more or less) wins, which might mean that the party you don't like gets in.

It's a complicated world, Methusalah :)
