Read This Before The Mainstream Media Uses A Drowned Refugee Boy To Start Another War
Submitted by Dan Sanchez via TheAntiMedia.org,
A baby boy turned to flotsam. Washed up on the shore, face down in the mud. His family, refugees from Syria’s civil war, had tried to reach Greece, but their over-crowded raft overturned in the Mediterranean Sea and he drowned along with his brother and mother. The viral image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi’s lifeless little body on a Turkish beach has shaken the conscience of the West and wrenched America’s attention to the refugee crisis now rocking Europe.
Newsflash to the oblivious citizenry of the power-projecting “free world”: this is what war looks like. This times ten million. That which is mere “foreign policy” to you and your government is desperation and death to those on the receiving end of it.
Children just as innocent and precious as Aylan are being driven into the sea in Libya, incinerated by drone in Pakistan, or starved to death in Yemen all the time, and it is all on your dime. And every single instance creates a sight just as achingly forlorn and horrifically tragic as the one above, even if it isn’t photographed and seen by millions.
Aylan drowned in the arms of his father, who had been desperately trying to keep his head above water. The prelude to the disaster probably looked something like this photo of another Syrian refugee family.
It actually shows an arrival and not a departure. Still, especially for anyone with young children, the picture is a punch in the gut. It only takes a shred of empathy to instantly imagine how the father must feel. Overwhelmed and near the end of his rope. His daughter’s arms wrapped around his neck. His son’s face buried in his chest. Both looking to him for protection and provision he ultimately might not be able to give. It is no wonder this visceral photograph has also gone viral.
Another newsflash: this is what war displacement looks like, both in the sea and on dry land. What you see in his face is the anguish felt right this very moment by the many millions of mothers and fathers driven from their homes and sources of livelihood throughout the countries shattered by weapons from the West: Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia, Palestine, Ukraine, and more.
It is a shame that the curiosity, empathy, and imagination of most are so stunted that they require such vivid imagery as this showing up in their news feeds to feel concern for the havoc wreaked by their governments’ policies.
And then they are stirred, not enough to actually learn a damn thing about it, but only enough to be manipulated into demanding— or at least countenancing — more of the very same kind of intervention that caused the tragedies in the first place.
Warmongers in government and the media are perversely but predictably trying to conscript Aylan’s corpse into their march to escalation. They are contending that Aylan died because the West has not intervened against Syria’s dictator Bashar al-Assad, and that it must do so now to spare other children the same fate.
Um, no, Aylan’s family were Kurdish refugees from Kobani who had to flee that city when it was besieged, not by Assad, but by Assad’s enemy: ISIS.
And ISIS is running rampant in that part of Syria only because the US-led West and its regional allies have given them cover by supporting and arming the jihadist-dominated uprising against Assad.
The West has been intervening in Syria heavily since at least 2012. Indeed, it is Western intervention that has exacerbated and prolonged the conflict, which has now claimed a quarter of a million lives.
But because much of the intervention has been covert and by proxy, it has received little media coverage and public attention. So the “blowback” that results from it, including Aylan’s death, can be conveniently blamed on alleged “non-intervention” and used to justify more overt and direct intervention.
In this way, governments have long exploited public obliviousness and gullibility to get their wars.
Moreover, if the hawks were to get their wish of seeing Assad finally overthrown and his forces dismantled, there would then be zero local resistance to ISIS, Syrian Al Qaeda, and the other jihadist groups completely overrunning Syria.
As bad as the refugee crisis is now, just imagine what it will be like as all of Syria’s many religious minorities desperately flee from these hyper-violent and hyper-sectarian Sunnis, armed to the teeth with Western weapons.
Far from preventing such tragedies as Aylan’s drowning, intervening further would only produce many more.
You are troubled by that picture you saw on Facebook. Good. It means your heart hasn’t been completely hardened by nationalistic and xenophobic indoctrination. But don’t let it make you susceptible to war party manipulation. And don’t just “raise awareness” of it by liking and sharing the tragedy and then forgetting about it in a month. To truly contribute to justice for Aylan, work to set things right.
And the first step to setting things right is understanding. Make it a project to learn about the role of foreign intervention in the Syrian Civil War that is creating so many of these refugees, and in the wars roiling the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia in general. And once you’ve acquired understanding for yourself, work to spread it to others.

You're going to war because this old as dirt paper pusher whore mouthpiece for the elite told you that you must go because you're ordinary and can't rise to the level of people like him that polish the knobs for a living of the bankers he works for?
http://irishsavant.blogspot.ie/2015/09/oh-lord-irony.html
Ok. This needs to be censored.
The MSM narrative is that Syrians are fleeing Assad and that only asylum in Europe can save them. Any deviation from this narrative is not acceptable. If you persist in pushing this story and undermining our narrative then we will be forced to release evidence of your name on Ashley Madison and if you then persist we will create photos of you engaged in child pornogrphy and pedophilia.
Are we clear on this? Now start snapping pictures of dead babies being used as footballs by Assad's Military. Youhave been warned.
FYI: I saw a "news" story about "grass roots" efforts to bring refugees to certain US cities; stay tuned...
You have their MO down perfectly.

Yes, I am perfectly aware of all this and then some. Which is why I've virtually ignored the fabled photograph. Which in my mind is being used primarily to justify forcing the Europeans to accept overwhelming numbers of refugees set into motion by American policies, while America sits on the sidelines and plays shame games.
Syria was utterly, completely stable under Hafez Al-Assad. There was no reason to expect Bashir to be significantly worse. THIS is better? There was no good reason for the U.S. to go fumbling into yet another can of worms of which it has and had no understanding, just a combination of adventurism and of course Israeli lies.
Which brings us to the only workable solution to the problem. Immediately cease support to ANYONE in Syria except Bashir Al-Assad. Get any U.S. troops, planes, or advisors out before they run into the Russians directly and cause an Incident. And then, maybe nuke Israel. That would solve the crux of the problem once and for all.
Terribly inhumane of me and guaranteed to be labelled "anti-Semitic". Frankly, the only thing I have against Jews is that they spawned both Christians and Muslims, and as a devout pagan I often wish a plague on all their monotheistic-fanatic houses. But Israeli foreign policy pressure has caused three wars too many in the last decade and a half. It's time to send their ambassadors packing and declare AIPAC an illegal foreign lobby.
Shalom, bitchez! That's some proper propoganda for the goyim right there.
America's overseas policy is dictated by xenophobic Israel under that extreme radical and man guilty of many war crimes - Netanyahu. This man has more REAL power than Obama through the lobbyists who work for Israel in Washington. If you are not Jewish you are Goyim and you ARE expendable. If you are Jewih then raise the Holoaust like a fucking security screen to hide all your own racist sins and to label those who attack you as "anti-semitic" and a "hater". This stratgy is at the heart of the misinformation campaign now being fed to us by the mainstream legacy media who are beholden to their Wall Street (Jewish) masters.
It is quite ironic that:
a) the root of the displacement of million of innocent families in the middle east is the Israel controlled US Govt, and
b) Israel is now putting up secure fences to keep these unwanted Goyim refugees out
perhaps Hitler did have a case in imprisoning the Jews - after all they are now the ones creating their own prison around "their" homeland.
Jewish people, as a group, aren't benefitting from this, any more than Americans benefit from the perpetual escalation that their country has put up. Many Jews are forced to fight and die for the corrupt Zionist cause in the IDF while the wealthy (Jews and Gentiles) never see the front lines but only profit off the pais of others.
I totally agree.
The problem is the hard-line Zionists who claim to represent "the Jewish people".
They don't and never will.
They only represent the super wealthy Jews who have their own selfish financial agenda - and the other 98% of Jews are simply "collateral damage" as far as they are concerned.
Unfortunately the Zionists are the people pulling America;s strings.
you said
"Many Jews are forced to fight and die for the corrupt Zionist cause in the IDF"
I said
like the handful of Jewish soilders who die every two years destroying Gaza?
those jews?
Pull Howdy Doody's strings and watch him dance!
The truth is too complicated for the people of the United States of Dumb Fuckistan. Assad did it is much simpler.
This rhetoric on here is disgusting, mostly word vomit from those who apparently HAVE FORGOTTEN that in a few days somebody is going to start gushing over Sept. 11, 2001. Will anybody notice that Pres. Obama wasn't in office, but GW was. Dick Cheney was. Donald Rumsfeld was, as were/are many of the same, mean ugly old mens faces. They've even added some really creepy women. With the of the coup of 9-11 even more wars broke out. Lots of Americans have died and been mangled in Iraq and Afghanistan only to see the oil of Iraq go to China ("the war will pay for itself"-GW Bush) only we just gave it to China and then walked out of Iraq. Afghanistan is all about poppies and similar goodies, as the place is bereft of real natural resources, (still waiting for all those mineral finds.)
Syria elected the Assads lawfully and it is none of our business. Syria has few natural resources but has been known as "a little Switzerland" as so many peoples and religions lived in harmony. It was a treasure trove of antiquities. Now Syria is being destroyed by really nasty crazy Wahabbi/Salafi's backed by hell itself. The ONLY reason Syria is of strategic interest is because of the pipelines. The wars are all about who controls the pipelines to sell oil and gas where.
And that's the bottom line of why this little boy is dead, along with hundreds of thousands of others. Oil, oil and gas pipelines, energy and political power. Ie. GREED.
And I just got done here when we get this jewel. Because of military operation, very similar to 9-11 for nearly 3 WEEKS! "A notam issued Sept. 1 announced that, beginning Sept. 2, both ADS-B surveillance and TCAS may be unreliable in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, as well as in airspace extending approximately 200 nautical miles off shore. The situation is expected to last through Oct. 1 as a result of military exercises in the area"
This is of huge concern for civilian flights as those pilots are being requested to fly virtually by visual flight rules.
I for one am getting pretty tired of hearing about this bullshit.
I've been hearing about this bullshit for so long I'm about to sell my business.
I employ 143 people.
It looks like some right winger asshole is gonna take over and I'll let him deal with it.
I'm thinking about getting the fuck out of the USA.
I'm getting increasingly worried because Donald Trump might obtain the presidency.
Jesus.
A fucking Dancing with the stars shit show president sucking New Jersey gangsters dicks ruling the whole fucking country?
Fuck it... I'm thinking real strong about gettin' the fuck outta here.
Subtract that miniscule amount from your GDP... you fuckers.
if Reagan can do it anyone can! Reagan was the dimmist bulb ever to take the WH. W was almost as stupid but not quite.
Does it matter who is President as long as the printing money lenders are running the world?
I pray Iran gets the big one!!!!!!!
I want to see the Holy Land a plane of glass. Vaporize all those real terrorist. You know.... the Stern Gang.
That may not be a bad idea Arthur but they will close the gates at some point. If you don't get your assets out now you may not be able to down the road.
"Fuck it... I'm thinking real strong about gettin' the fuck outta here.
Subtract that miniscule amount from your GDP... you fuckers."
If you're really serious, there are a whole range of options. A particular SE Asian country offers residency to those who can afford it ( I think USD 2 m), not to mention lower taxes too.
Youd probably love Singapore.
Fake like Sandy Hook
Sandyhook is a false flag, but this is so real. I can smell the Left-Hander and a PutinPutz from a mile away.
Is Dan Sanchez or Gordon Duff on top? ZHemmrhoiders wanna know...
Isn't Ibrahim Hooper's, Executive Propaganda Minister, CAIR, pen name Dan Sanchez? I thought so.
Bush 41 was right and Bush 43 was wrong. Democracy is utterly unworkable in the Muslim world because the winning side always tries to make its victory permanent by massacring the losers (it's not that bad in the West yet, but getting there).
The closest Muslims ever get to peace and justice is when they're ruled by a king, an iron-fisted dictator, or a foreign power. The Syrians who filled the streets in 2011 had no idea what a good thing they were throwing away. Yes, Assad was good, compared to the alternatives available in a place like Syria.
" Yes, Assad was good, compared to the alternatives available in a place like Syria."
I think its begining to dawn on those who were participating in the CIA sponsored Syrian Spring.
That is exactly what I thought. No one knows what to say. What can you say to me? I just want you all to know that I love you all very much. I can't change who I am and I do not want you guys to change either. I have never told anyone how to live their lives. I did what I did because that is just me. I have always been the way I am. I have never been afraid save for that first trip to Russia I took. I was terrified. The day I arrived there I was fucking scared and so was she. That is your life on the line. We will never leave each other.
It is fucked up now with the Russia/US relations and exchange rate. The Russians are not that thrilled with Mericans but then again they respect me. They are good people from the about a hundred or so that I have met. They know that not all Mericans are stupid. What I need to know is who is will lead and if it needs to be me then who will stand behind me? I have done my part so far. Unless that, then what am I supposed to do? That is really what I want to know. I am there and I have not heard shit from anyone. For many years, I was told, "Well you have to do this first." So I did it. Now what? I think I have margin called everyone and I worked my ass off to do it too.
I earned it, took most of two decades of fucking working my ass off, and now people are pissed at me. I am not rich but I don't owe anyone anything either. That pisses people off. That is because they all do owe someone.
This story isn't being pushed to foment a Casus belli by the West, it is to blugeon citizens of the EU and the US to shut the fuck up about the invasion of the Caliphete. One has to be either amazingly stoopid to believe this CAIR/Putin stooge, or is Internet trolling to promote the story...Straight Outta Leningrad.
Glad someone pulled focus on what the results of crappy foreign policy really are. It really sucks when you are on the ground in these countries and see the real results of all that stupid first hand.
And exactly how many refugees will Israel be taking in? They're a generous people, right?
Or Japan,
http://www.economist.com/news/asia/21646255-worlds-refugee-problem-grows...
You are correct about Japan. However I have no problem with Japan because they neither control the US media nor do they attempt to brainwash us into doing unseemly things that they would never do. The tribe does both. Shalom.

Germany could take 500,000 refugees a year, official says By: The Washington Post, Published on Tue Sep 08 2015BERLIN — A top German official said his country could take half a million refugees a year “for several years,” even as some critics questioned Tuesday whether generous asylum policies serve to entice more migrants to make the dangerous trek for Western Europe.
“I believe we could surely deal with something in the order of half a million for several years,” Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel told broadcaster ZDF late Monday night.

Yo all go rite ahead an kip all dem ragheads fur youselfs. Neber mind de rest of us.

Collapse the sovereign nations of old Europe, collapse the Americas and you have a desperate bunch that willingly will accept THE NEW WORLD ORDER ALONG WITH THE POPE OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND BANKS that will digitize and chip everyone into their banking control. Vaccinations will be mandatory.
I couldn't agree more the use of this child is completely sick and possibly even staged.
Some people believe that coincidence and synchronicity are the language of God, I have always found that theory to be fascinating. If this were to be true I think it safe to speculate that inversion is the language of demonics. I hope this theory is not true however, because if it is we are sitting on a frickin nest of the bastards.
These alternative media sites like AntiWar.org, VETs, ect., get their troll scripts from Russian sites like New Eastern Outlook. NeoBolshevik/CCCP by another name, propaganda is as simple today as it was throughout the Cold War. The difference is that the Amerikan public school systems and universities are promoting complimentary social and historical propaganda making such pieces like this one far easier for the current and next generations to swallow unquestioningly. They'll win, but some of us are old enough to recognize it.
Of course there are going to be big problems with refugees coming from the middle east in massive numbers
to Europe. They have nothing in common with European society and it is going to be a clash of cultures, it is already.
This is something anyone can see, what is desired is that Europeans begin to hate these people.
As Netanyahu said after 911 "This is actually good for Israel, Americans will now understand what we Israelis go through on a daily basis"
It also clears Syria out which is what Israel wants and opens the door for devastating bombing.
On the day that the Malaysian plane was shot down Israel launched the bloody ground war into Gaza.
During the infatada in the 80s Tienanmen Square was going on in China at the same time. Netanyahu said that was a golden opportunity for Israel to smash the Palestinians while the world was watching China and this opportunity would not return again.
This also must have something to do with destabilizing Europe to prevent it from aligning with Russia.
It is a 100% Jew operation from start to finish.
The only good thing is deception only lasts less than 24 hours now before they are BUSTED.
"Of course there are going to be big problems with refugees coming from the middle east in massive numbers"
It is not a clash of cultures. It is the Trojan Horse of practioners of one religion using a strategy of infiltrating into a state which follows another religion. For Muslims, there is no compromise or tolerance and peaceful co-existence. It is their way or Goodbye Jose.
How many here have actually lived among Muslims ?
When you converse with a Muslim, they CANNOT tolerate a discussion which differs from their Islamic perspective. There is no room for a difference of opinions. Anything that differs from the Islamic code is BLASPHEMY. You can make jokes on just about every other religion except Islam. Some people will claim they have Muslim friends etc Check out TAQIYYA https://sites.google.com/site/islamicthreatsimplified/taqiya--islam-doct...
Who are the Yazidis ? The Yazidis consider themselves MUSLIMS. Their version of Islam differs so inconsequentially BUT they are condemned as Infidels by Islamic fundamentalists.
Consider what IS has done to the Yazidis and then think about the consequences the Infidels in Europe will be facing.
Some people cannot differentiate between racism and religion. Christianity is NOT for whites only. Christians are composed of different races (European, Arab, Africans, South American, Asians etc)with different cultural backgrounds. The same applies to every other religion including Islam (white converts, Caucasians, Arab, Africans and Asians etc). Criticizing a religion is not RACISM.
The father of Alan Kurdi was not even in the boat. The family had been living in Turkey for three years in a safe house. Turkey had turned down an exit visa and the UN refused to classify the family as refugees because of their status in Turkey.
The father had wanted to get into Europe to get his teeth fixed under EU free dental plans and risked his family in this boat. For some reason he wan't with them.
Just to make this story even more disrespectful of the poor boy's death...I saw on the internet where they moved his body from a cove, and rearranged it for the cameras.
How's about relocating those refugees to those new Ghost cities over in China?
WHY? China's not bombing the shit out of these people's homes, the Yanks and the Eurofags are, let them motherfuckers deal with it.
More to it than that. Agitators are intermixed with the real refugees. Theatrical performances to bait us against each other while the rich run off with the loot, sell off the resources like bandits in the night. These men are so cruel. So filled with murderous contempt, on the order of a mass murder such as jimmy jones, behind his soothing words... it is against the natural order that they have survived this long. Media is taking us down the wrong road.

Headquarters is where there is no smoke. Some guy in a tux, looking out the window with binoculars, waiting for the day the only building left standing is his.
What a brilliant idea, lets send them to a country with more than 1.3 Billion people! You want to see a tide of refugees washing around the world because if China falls apart thats exactly what you will see. They have their own problems.
Or, seeing as this is in large part a problem caused by America, perhaps they could take some.
I don't know how authoritative this article is, but interesting and goes against the narrative:

-----------------------------
The family of the drowned Kurdish boy, Aylan Kurdi, were not “seeking a new life in Europe” as the mass media falsely claims.
The boy’s extended family in Canada have already explained to the Canadian National Post newspaper (See theNational Post, “Aylan Kurdi drowned off the shores of Turkey. His family was trying to reach Canada,” September 3, 2015) that they were in fact financing the family in an attempt to illegally invade Europe and then move on to Canada after their legal applications to settle in Canada had been rejected by the Canadian government.

Well thanks blogger!
And then there's the true story, which bares no reassemble at all to the blogger bullshitters and their conceited agitprop:

USSA's neo conmen alpha tribe will do everything in their power to ensure that Urupp turns into the same Mercan style obese multikulti cesspool with the slaves permanently at each others' throats thus allowing the chosen racers to rise to the top of a fetid goulash of debauched humanity. However, this scam is long from over as we watch Mr Putin draw his red line in the sand of Syria, as he successfully did in Ukropland, watch as the petroscrip I$I$ "backed" Saudi Mercan dollah finally gets flushed from the shaman bank$t€r sewer and the fireworks and artillery tear USSA apart in a reenactment of all Merca's bouts of judaic carnage.
Onward to the eruption of the clogged up Wall St casino crapper!
He is just pinning
Way too many words to describe the simple truth. Obama killed Aylan. Period.
WE elected obama, twice. This is on us.
The media has not been interested in the whole undiluted truth for the last 35 years IMO. There is too much name calling, mudslinging, ideological dogma, agendas and stupidity for the undiluted truth to be accepted by all. The narrative that the dad wanted "FREE SHIT", comes from those who are not well read, especially those who have not travelled the globe and they live in a bubble. Statistically people die 8 miles from where they were born.
Most people irrespective of the hell-hole tend to stay put. Whites emigrate, but those with olive skin and darker are immigrants. Whites integrate. lol (Ever seen us Brits in Spain, France, the Caribbean, the Antipodeans, or Africa. Yeah plenty of integration going on there with the locals) , but foreigners exclude themselves and don't assimilate. Well this is a total fucking lie. But there is a big problem I have and in circular arguments it keeps coming back. What is the cause of the refugee crisis? As the Japanese saying goes "Don't blame the outcome, but cure the problem" and what is the problem? Here's a clue........ Libya was stable until? Iraq was stable until? Syria was stable until? ISIS never existed until? Al-CIAda never existed until? 95% of the worlds ill are due to western intervention for our own geopolitics and economic goals. Where we have no interests the locals can butcher themselves till kingdom come, with Rwanda being the perfect example.
To be honest, I don't give two fucks about the dead boy, neither am I shocked they moved his body for photo-op-effect purposes, neither am I shocked at the propaganda and agendas at play. I'm beyond caring. The only question I am interested in is stopping the forces that make us fight foreign wars, plunder their resources, which in turn destabilises said countries, causing a humanitarian-refugee crisis, that forces these blighters to come to our shores to seek safe haven, due to a crisis we helped cause. This is the cycle that must be broken and it is easy to see which forces are causing it. Look no further than the Zionists and their goyim lackeys. If you are still cluesless and really want to know who these people are, you'll realise it is the same Think-Tanks, the same analysts, the same Zionists, the same Gentile mouthpieces, the same foreign policy experts and the same politicians, who all sing from the same hymn sheet, who were behind Libya, Syria, Iraq and are now against the Iran deal, but the most telling fact is that within this group 85% of which is a core group of JEWS. To not notice the correlation, one has to be fucking stupid. Look at the ethnic make-up of those who are behind destabilizing the Ukraine. Soros, Kagan and Nuland are all? Now don't think too hard.
