Part
4 - The Bitter Truth
The Western
and Gulf media work in lockstep with the narratives emanating from
Washington on Syria. It is not coincidental that certain photos and
stories of Syrian children go viral, while other more damning photos
and sordid realities get no notice period.
Regarding
the Omran case, we now know that he was not gravely hurt as media
tried to imply, that his family have gone back to their lives in
Aleppo, and the exploitation and lies around Omran cannot continue.
When I met
them on June 6th, they showed no signs of the duress which terrorists
and their backers—which include Western corporate media—claim.
Instead, some neighbors were over, discussing media fabrications
around Omran.
However, the
children who are believed to have been exploited and used in the 2013
Ghouta chemical weapons fabrications remain missing and have not gone
back to their lives, nor have their families in the Latakia
countryside.
In March
2017, physicians with Swedish Doctors for Human Rights, after
examining a White Helmet’s video, wrote: “…Swedish medical
doctors, specialists in various fields, including pediatrics, have
revealed that the life-saving procedures seen in the film are
incorrect – in fact life-threatening – or seemingly fake,
including simulated resuscitation techniques being used on already
lifeless children.”
The article
noted that Dr Lena Oske, a Swedish medical doctor and general
practitioner, said of an adrenaline injection shown in the video, “If
not already dead, this injection would have killed the child!”
While in
al-Waer, Homs, on June 9, 2017, speaking with a woman who had
returned not long after the last terrorist had been bused out in the
government’s reconciliation agreement, she told me a story of her
friend from the area. Bearing in mind that this is second hand
information (and that I didn’t have time to stay another day to
meet the friend in question), I’ll leave her words and this 2012
link as food for thought regarding the use of children, alive or day,
for war propaganda against Syria: “In 2014, my friend’s son,
Louay was leaving his school. A mortar fell on the street nearby and
he was hit with shrapnel. The Red Crescent took him in an ambulance
to al-Bour, a nearby aid association, which couldn’t treat him, so
he was taken to a government hospital in al-Zahra’a. They tried to
save him, but he died.
They took
him back to al-Bour where they cleaned him for burial. While my
friend was waiting, people from al-Bour carried him onto the street
yelling the regime killed him, look what the regime does to
children.'”
Later, she
saw on both al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya footage of her son, with men
blaming the “regime” for killing children in Syria.
But she
didn’t agree. The government helped her son and tried to save his
life. He was 7 years old.
