@bcglorf - It's called news - if specific elements of what he says are untrue then feel free to disprove them - all you've done is used his involvement in a 9/11 movement as your 'proof' which is circumstantial at best. Marbles didn't make the video, he posted it, this site is called "Videosift" - a place where, you know, video's can be sifted. If you disagree with the message then attack the facts not the guy who added to the value of the site with an informative video. Unlike journalists where you seem to get your news from, Tarpley has (apparently) visited the country and talked to the people, there would be very few journalists that could give his perspective if this is true.
PS Was wondering when I'd see you next bcglorf, I missed you.

Al Jazeera has multiple journalists in Syria, all of whom are well agreed that the protests all started peacefully and were met with deadly force from the regime. The Arab league, who's member nations each have embassies in Syria with multiple diplomats living in the country, are also well agreed that the protesters were the victims of regime death squads. The Syrian refugees that fled to Turkey are all well agreed that the protesters were the victims of regime death squads.
The ONLY source that in any way corroborates Tarpley's story here is Assad's own media. I do believe that in itself calls into question Tarpley's veracity. When his sole evidence is basically his own word, trust him, I think it worth noting his past record of trustworthiness.
As for contributing, I don't consider propaganda bought and paid for by the Syrian regime a positive contribution to the plight of the Syrian people.



You do realise that people willing to spend 10 seconds on a Google search can verify whether your statements are true or not right?

Back in April alone:
(links available from http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/video-reporting-possible-ciasaudi.html)

The Al-Alam News Network reports that Saudi/CIA snipers are on rooftops firing at both protesters and Syrian forces

CNN reported that an unknown armed group had been firing on both protesters and Syrian forces alike (they go on to presume that it was Syrian forces that apparently opened fire on themselves which I find odd).

China's XinhuaNet reported that armed gangs had clashed with protesters and Syrian forces, killing members of both sides.

The Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported equipment from these armed forces had been recovered, there were non-Syrian SMS cards and other tools to spread fake repression of protesters.

Ynet also reported a similar story, finding fake bottles of blood and other items - they reported that "the phones and cameras were carried by members of an armed criminal group that attacked a military location in Rakhem al-Hirak area in Daraa countryside"
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4059951,00.html

The assistant US secretary of state for human rights and labor (Michael Posner) in an AFP report said that the US had budgeted $50 million in the past 2 years to help 'activists' evade authoritarian Governments.

In terms of who the actual gunmen are, there is only circumstantial evidence from what I've seen - some of it is discussed here:
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/video-reporting-possible-ciasaudi.html

There appears to be links with a group called Gen-next, and there is a precedent to this type of interference with local uprising - that link talks about armed units killing both Thai military and protesters alike in 2010.

And more information on them (with working vids of the Thai attacks) here:
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/04/color-revolutions-mystery-gunmen.html

Anyway, it's the same old story with you, your comments are abrasive towards those opposed to your abhorrent ideology and your 'facts' are verifiably untrue. It's a shame because you seem more intelligent than some of the other trolls so you have potential to improve, you simply decide not to.

The real story is that these gunmen are a mystery to almost everyone, they appear to be showing up frequently, they appear to be corporate backed, they don't appear to be part of the local armed forces because they routinely attack them. Making a bold statement about their intentions seems difficult due to the circumstantial evidence against them, however the fact that they are operating in multiple countries and the US is pouring millions of dollars into these kinds of efforts (and has done over and over again in the past) indicates that it is likely not of Syrian origin.

Meltdown was produced in *Canada, airing Thursday, July 7, 2011 on CBC-TV. *1sttube. It looks like it was rebroadcasted on Al Jazeera.

More info and all four episodes at the show's site, including a version in french.

www.cbc.ca/doczone/meltdown

why should al-jazeera offend their audience by showing the cover?

The cover (which al-jazeera so 'elegantly' omits to show) pictures Mohamed, "guest editor", saying the following (rough translation): "100 whiplashes if you don't die of laughter!" It plays on the expression "mort de rire", literally "dead from laughter" (and roughly the equivalent to lmao or lol).

Thanks for the promote!

Ya, I saw this on CNN - More like Hillary Clinton doesn't react to news of Gaddafi's capture.
Hard up for news stories I think they are, Hmmm?...


Hard up for news? Maybe.. but I also think this is an interesting glimpse into the life/work of a high level politician. We hear breaking news from CNN or Al Jazeera. HClint gets a text from the CIA. We see the news as a a curiosity, not terribly relevant to our daily lives. HClint has to decide how the US Government is going to react, and whether to proceed with her interview, or photo shoot, or whatever she was doing. ..reminds me of BushBaby deciding to continue reading a story to school children when he learned of the 9/11 attacks.

"Sound familiar? FBI admited they have "no hard evidence" that OBL was responsible for 9/11."

Bin Laden confessed on Al-Jazeera in 2004. I don't know how much more evidence is required.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Osama_bin_Laden_video

take all news channels with a grain of salt, because they all either have corporate interests or personal interests involved...

its better to be informed, and that means taking in different viewpoints, and drawing one's own conclusions...

but to say RT is any worse than FOX, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc... is wrong and naive
better to take homegrown propaganda and scarf it down I guess... right?

better to shop around

Al Jazeera continues to impress me.

Tags for this video have been changed from 'Colin Powell, Al Jazerra, Iraq, WMD' to 'Colin Powell, Al Jazeera, Iraq, WMD, al qaeda' - edited by xxovercastxx

I stopped watching after they appeared at the ball in "pretty dresses". First off, God and the Bible teach, quite clearly, that women are not to adorn themselves in that way and to do so is the practice of harlots and prostitutes, and therefor a sin. That's the first clue that the people in the video practicing these "purity balls" have no clue about what God wants for his children. They are horribly and falsely representing the Christian faith.

Secondly, it's completely misleading and false for the reporter to put this sort of thing on the "conservative Christian movement" like it's all some neat and tidy ball-of-wax that involves EVERYONE who's conservative and/or Christian. Holy crap, talk about a COMPLETE LIE! Fucking Al-Jazeera bullshit.

For the "insano" cocksuckers who think you should "test drive" your mate before you get married... you're as brainless and inhuman as they come. Marriage is about everything BUT sex, you worthless pieces of shit. You people are proof that the theory of evolution is a joke, because you obviously haven't evolved beyond the pond scum that existed "billions" of years ago.

And today, there is yet more evidence...

Al Jazeera is reporting 'Bodies on the streets' in Homs crackdown.

Namaste!
