Western media can’t hide truth forever: Stephen Lendman
Press TV has conducted an interview with Stephen Lendman, an author and radio host, from Chicago, about an article published by an American journalist in MintPress News who claims to have found, after interviewing insurgents in Syria, that chemical weapons were supplied to them by Saudi Arabia ordered by Prince Bandar Sultan.
- Here we have another example of proof that the insurgents were behind this chemical attack in Ghouta and that Saudi Arabia was complicit in this, of course, Prince Bandar quoted as saying that he provided the chemical weapons or a party linked to him.
Why wouldn’t this get widespread coverage in Western media as acts that they claim the Syrian government was responsible for the chemical attack in Ghouta?
- Well, of course, the US media, the reason I call them scoundrel media, they only publish what I call the big lies. So, they publish one lie after another wrongfully blaming Syria for blames committed by these insurgents - the most extremist types: al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, other extremist groups.
And there is overwhelming evidence that these people have chemical weapons. They’re supplied by Saudi Arabia. Prince Bandar is very, very much involved. He is head of Saudi intelligence; he’s been doing these kinds of nefarious things for years.
The insurgents were responsible for the Ghouta attack. Russia published information last March that the insurgents were responsible for a chemical weapons attack in an Aleppo suburb. It supplied the UN with this information and the UN buried it; didn’t report it and neither did the US media.
- It’s becoming more evident from other alternative media, if you want to call them that, such as I’d like to mention Russia Today where there was a former Pentagon official Michael Maloof who had a paper in his hands saying that US intelligence is aware that insurgents are in possession of sarin gas and that this was supplied through Turkey.
This is becoming somewhat now out in the open for the general public’s view. How can the US then think they can get away with it?
In addition, as you said, the Russian government is providing the UN with a detailed report provided by Syria about the insurgents being complicit in this.
- On the one hand, there is an old saying that if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it or sees it, I guess it didn’t fall.
But there’s another wonderful saying that goes, “What can’t go on forever, won’t.” And I agree.
America may get away with this for year after year after year, but at some point push comes to shove and the day of reckoning will come when America will no longer be able to get away with this.
There are wonderful things happening in terms of supplying people with real information. Press TV is in the forefront of doing it, Russia Today does a wonderful job, Voice of Russia does the same thing and other alternative media including in America where people are turning more to these sources for information and tuning out what I call the scoundrel media.
And I write about this all the time. At some point these people simply will not be looked to for information and people will get it from credible sources and then the tide of truth will no longer be able to be held back.
There is no question that Syria has been invaded; Washington has been very much responsible; they’re using terror gangs to commit horrendous crimes against the Syrian people; it’s important that this gets reported.
It is being reported and increasingly more and more people are finding out about it. I hope they’ll do something about it.
