Two myths pervade the NATO-aligned accounts of the Syrian conflict with greater persistence than all others. First is the ‘peaceful uprising’ suppressed by ‘violent and brutal government security forces, armed to the teeth’, and the second is the 2013 Ghouta chemical attacks.
Both have been largely discredited and dismantled by the evidence and testimony from Syrians inside Syria and a number of respected researchers and analysts such as Professor Tim Anderson in his universally acclaimed book, the Dirty War on Syria.
‘The popular myths of this dirty war – that it is a ‘civil war’, a ‘popular revolt’ or a sectarian conflict – hide a murderous spree of ‘regime change’ across the region. The attack on Syria was a necessary consequence of Washington’s ambition, stated openly in 2006, to create a ‘New Middle East’. After the destruction of Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, Syria was next in line.’ ~ Prof. Tim Anderson
Independent journalist, Eva Bartlett who has traveled many times to Syria to report from on the ground, wrote, an in depth article about the US Coalition lies and propaganda. In her detailed analysis, ‘Moderate Terrorists. Deconstructing the NATO Narrative on Syria. Leftists Keeping the Myth Alive’, Bartlett says:
‘Yet, it is known that from the beginning, in Dara’a and throughout Syria, armed protesters were firing upon, and butchering, security forces and civilians. Tim Anderson’s ‘Syria: how the violence began, in Daraa’ pointed out that police were killed by snipers in the March 17/18 protests; the Syrian army was only brought to Dara’a following the murder of the policemen. Additionally, a storage of protesters’ weapons was found in Dara’a’s al-Omari mosque.’
