Unlike my immediate predecessor as MP for Rochdale, I’m not mourning the downfall of the brutal Assad regime. I remember all too well how Assad bombed, tortured and murdered the thousands of Palestinian refugees in Syria who dared to stand up to him.

When bodies are being excavated from the human slaughterhouse of Saydnaya, this is what she says. Alternatively she cd say: 'Syrians have emerged from 50 yrs of tyranny, 13 yrs of genocide. We applaud them & will do all we can to support them to recover & flourish in freedom'.

Remember what Hisham Matar said about those who looked at the destruction of Libya and concluded that things were better under Gaddafi: they’re like people staring at the ashes and saying “I prefer the fire”

A truly horrendous story well worth 2 minutes of your time.

A year ago, Russian paramilitaries ordered Central African soldiers to arrest, detain and torture me for attempting to interview victims of conflict in the Central African Republic. I managed to survive and have gone on to tell many stories about human rights abuses in Africa.

Perfect example of how, for many Western leftists, their so-called “anti-imperialist” rhetoric during the Syria conflict masked their underlying racist beliefs. Remember this clip when he inevitably refers to the White Helmets as “head-choppers,” as he has done before.

No wonder we feel so bad. Cort Johnson sums up a big year in ME research 🙏❤️ "In study after study, two themes popped up again & again. ME/CFS patients’ cells across their bodies are exhausted & exhibit a “failure to respond” when exposed to stress" healthrising.org/blog/2025/01/0…

Fascinating details about Assad’s last days in this interview with Assad’s media “tsar”, his media chief and close aide. Thread 1/x

Since 2018, I’ve documented over 100 human rights abuses by Russian paramilitaries deployed across Africa. I’ve investigated and reported massacres, rape & torture of vulnerable villagers by these Russians. Keep following me for regular updates and tell your friends to do same.

Moments like this are a reminder of how tragically incoherent Chomskean leftist critiques of American foreign policy have long been. No wonder why some who staged such critiques have now openly moved over to Duginism. They faulted the US for being the global hegemon without

If you want to keep the West Bank forever, you are condemning Israel to eternal war. The Palestinians are not going to just take being occupied forever. It means you want war and not peace. This isn’t complicated.

For over a decade, Syria has been a battleground—not just on the ground, but online. Misinformation has distorted reality, recycled footage has fueled propaganda, and false narratives have deepened divisions. A photo from 2012 resurfaces as if it happened today. A fabricated

Israelis and Gazans are demonstrating against the war. They are sick of being the pawns of Hamas and Netanyahu, both of whom need to be flung on to the trash heap of history. Regular people refuse to die for your megalomaniacal goals.

Just had a 4 month hiatus from this hell site. Just checking in to see how much more racist it has got whilst I scan for the latest news following the #mecfs publication.
