In late October insurgents outside the Aleppo city pocket made what now seems a final desperate attempt to break the siege. The offensive caused a great deal of damage, saw the insurgents take a high number of casualties and kill many civilians and achieved no territorial gains at all.
After the offensive the insurgents hold considerably less territory than before it started.
The encirclement and impending loss in Aleppo have inspired a welter of hysteria and an avalanche of propaganda from the Western media.
This has brought us many wonders in the field of lies but it is hard to surpass the fake twitter account with a seven year old girl calling for World War 3 . There should be an award for lie of the year, and that should be a contender.
Although to be fair, the widespread pretense that the more than one and a half million occupants of Government held Western Aleppo city do not exist and are not being killed and wounded in large numbers by the indiscriminate shelling of the insurgents was also an impressive and audacious lie (of omission as opposed to commission) propagated almost across the board by our wonderful media.
“At least 74 civilians, including 25 children, were killed in the 8-day-old offensive launched by Syrian opposition fighters against the western edge of the government-held part of Aleppo city.” (Source)
The fighters inside the pocket are incapable of any meaningful offensive operations and the fighters outside the pocket cannot break the siege despite throwing absolutely every possible resource towards the task over several months.
All insurgent attempts to break the siege of the eastern Aleppo pocket having failed, the insurgents are going to have to accept defeat in the Battle of Aleppo in the coming days and weeks.
There will be no total victory in the conventional sense, the Syrian army and their allies are not going to seize east Aleppo by force or kill every insurgent in the pocket, rather they are going to force the insurgents to accept a deal that will see them relocated by the government to insurgent held Idlib. Identical deals previously saw insurgents evacuated from Homs city, Daraya and in recent days the town of Khan al Shih in the Western Ghouta area of the Damascus countryside and their departure from Aleppo will end any meaningful insurgent presence in Syria’s major cities and with it any hope of regime change in Syria.

You will be blatant. Face us off. James, we need ya. Come on now… suffering and our voice. This unlike the New York Times and hides away in sheep along but… so they say? “But they pay me” – is that all/is? Proper journalism here. Thanks now, Mark.
You’ll notice on the dead guy that they took his picture up close so you could see it was real. In that France Truck attack, we are never allowed an up close shot of anyone or anything. In fact, blankets are over them to cover and hide the “lack of evidence.” Real Journalism does not hide the graphic horror of violence and killing.
Thanks James, was a hasty yet meant well comment. This is a both terrible and hopeful read. Bit like, want too see – yet, look away. I’m quite tragedy worn-down, desensitised, can easily understand how people come to give-up looking, caring, while exclaiming “…well what can, we do?” Mainstream makes me so angry, duping masses, while coming across so smug. And a few hours ago Memory Hole Blog ‘officially shut down’ by its server. What a contrast: One of the few finest of outposts censored and – what you call, the ‘field of lies’. Referencing the NYTimes was due to Trumps drooling along yesterday. Lulling us into believing they’re somehow different, to the lot he slagged off a day earlier. Not for me to judge his efforts too harshly, at least he’s broadly articulated the truth in general – they lie, not report about… don’t investigate, do what they proclaim. On Syria, complicit and some, in causing this destruction to continue. Not much to comment but reiterate; These posts matter, voicing the less heard about and those in the midst deserving we know. And in this, care.
I think it has received more than it deserved already but many thanks Mark.I will recheck Memory Hole in the hope that has been reversed. Only obscurity is protecting our sites from the same type of treatment. That is one reason I cane see the benefits of a low profile, they cannot persecute you because they have not heard of you! Given the volume of evil trash on the internet the idea that site could be done over is a sick joke.
Regarding Trump, you make a good point, we do not know what the Trump presidency will bring but we know damn sure that the controlled media, the collaborator media are going to be telling wall to wall lies throughout whether he is the best or worst President ever. They will be waist deep in lies as this is the business they are in. I just checked and MHB is not on the internet. Unbelievable. Many thanks for that comment and your encouragement I will try and be more fruitful in the near future.
