@adambienkov.bsky.social you're writing is superb in the @bylinetimes.bsky.social. just read your piece on whom the British press say they serve. I wish it was a much longer piece though. Fascinating, but worrisome. It's been in plain sight for decades I'd say but people need reminding periodically.

Why is Musk obsessed about the Politics in the UK?! I think being in the circle with Trump et al has made Musk think he can influence Politics in other countries with his wealth and X. Good pet project starts with the UK.

Israel has invaded Syria.
The failure of the Western media to refer to an invasion is nothing other than disinformation.
A lie by omission is still a lie. You are being lied to.

Israel has invaded Syria - with Western complicity
This is a blatant land grab - and an attempt to hobble any new Syrian government - by an Israeli state cheered on by Western politicians and media.

Israel continues to fire missiles inside Syria targeting suspected chemical weapons storage. A ruse. In addition they've destroyed Syria's navy in the interest of defending Israel, who have the most powerful military in the middle east.
