Western Media Blames Russia, Syria For Attack On UN Convoy; Video and Photos Tell Different StoryBy Brandon Turbeville Still, it is important to point out the false narratives where they do exist in order to deconstruct them as much as possible. For instance, the recent hysteria over an alleged attack on a U.N. convoy by either Syrian or Russian jets (because it couldnt have been the U.S. of course) has been used as an attempt to paint Russia and Syria as violators of a ceasefire and states so evil that they would dare attack the sacred U.N. who only ever provides food to hungry people and candy to children. Yet the entire incident, which the West is attempting to use as a political hammer, exists only through the channels and pages of Western media. In reality, however, not so much. The story being peddled to the American people is that, even as the ceasefire was still in effect (from the point of view of the United States despite the fact that its terrorists never abided by one principle or obligation of the ceasefire from the very beginning), either Russia or Syria bombed a U.N. aid convoy on its way to deliver supplies to civilians. However, further investigation reveals that the aid convoy that was destroyed and the U.N. aid convoy being presented to the American public as being the victim of the attack are two different convoys and two different incidents. The convoy that was actually attacked, a Syrian Red Crescent aid operation, was attacked outside a warehouse in Urm al-Kubra just west of Aleppo. Twenty to thirty trucks were said to be destroyed in this attack which took place shortly after the ceasefire officially ended on September, 19. However, there is no evidence to suggest that the attackers were the Syrian or Russian militaries. Instead, it is most likely Americas rebels who attacked the convoy. Still, the United States claims that, although it doesnt know which military, it is confident that the UN aid convoy was bombed by either Syria or Russia. As the Washington Post reports, We know it was an airstrike and not one from the coalition. We dont know if it was Russia or the regime, the only others flying over Syria, a senior administration official said. In either case, the Russians have a responsibility certainly to avoid doing it themselves, but also to keep restraint on the regime. But, per the usual method of accusation, the United States never explained exactly how they knew this. Where is the intelligence coming from? Are there satellite images? Anything? Russia, however, denied that its planes, or Syrian jets for that matter, were involved in the attack. In addition, the Russian defense ministry pointed out some anomalies suggesting that the convoy was not bombed from the air at all. We have studied video footage from the scene from so-called activists in detail and did not find any evidence that the convoy had been struck by ordnance, said Igor Konashenkov of the Russian Defense Ministry. There are no craters and the exterior of the vehicles do not have the kind of damage consistent with blasts caused by bombs dropped from the air. Indeed, photographs of the convoy do not line up with the damage that one would expect to see if the trucks had been attacked from the air. As Tom Miles and Angus McDowall reported for the Asia Times, He [Igor Konashenkov] said the damage to the convoy visible in footage was caused by its cargo catching fire. It had occurred at the same time as militants from the group formerly called the Nusra Front had started a big offensive in nearby Aleppo, he said, appearing to point the finger at rescue workers from a group called the White Helmets who filmed the aftermath. Only representatives of the White Helmets organization close to the Nusra Front who, as always, found themselves at the right time in the right place by chance with their video cameras can answer who did this and why. Hussein Badawi, head of the White Helmets in the town, said he was 100 meters (yards) from the aid depot when the attack took place and was injured by shrapnel in the hand. There were fires, martyrs, wounded people. We were able to pull out four survivors and five dead bodies at first, Badawi said. The bombardment was continuous. The rescue teams werent even able to work. Those who arrived in ambulances couldnt come in. Despite having immediately claimed that the attacks were the result of airstrikes, the United Nations was forced to walk back its assertions after the Russian response and explanation. Now, the U.N. statement has replaced the word airstrikes with the word attacks. U.N Humanitarian Spokesman Jens Laerke stated that the references were the result of a clerical error. We are not in a position to determine whether these were in fact air strikes. We are in a position to say that the convoy was attacked, he said. The Russian explanation, photographic evidence, and the intentional confusion that has come as a result of a propaganda push on the part of the Western media apparatus as well as the fact that the White Helmets, a notorious terrorist support group were first on the scene and that al-Nusra fighters were themselves launching an attack in the general area at the same time as the convoy was attacked, all point to the possibility that it was the terrorists who attacked the convoy and not a traditional state actor. Furthermore, video evidence has been posted appearing to show a jihadist vehicle armed with an artillery/mortar launcher riding beside the convoy. Still, the Western media is intentionally confusing two different convoys one that never entered Syria and was waiting on the Turkish side of the Turkey-Syria border and one that was traveling from the government held area in West Aleppo into terrorist held areas. The former was a U.N. aid convoy, the latter a Syrian Red Crescent convoy. It should be noted that the U.N. convoys sitting idle at the border were not allowed in by the Syrian government because the U.N. would not allow the Syrian government to inspect the trucks. The fear on the part of the Syrian government was that the NATO powers were smuggling in more weaponry and supplies for terrorists under the guise of U.N. aid trucks, a fear that has already been realized in the past. We now have a full on propaganda onslaught in the West attempting to blame Russia and/or Syria for bombing a U.N. aid convoy that was never bombed to begin with while at the same time hiding evidence of terrorists having attacked the one that was. As a result of deceptive reporting and propaganda coming out of official State Department mouths, the American public is fooled into believing that Russia and Syria have committed a tragic war crime despite the evidence showing that the attack on the actual convoy may very well have been committed by Americas proxy terrorists. The United States and the West are obviously driving the final few nails into what little credibility they have left.

If this is true its a level of treachery that hopefully would lead to Iran and Russia, for starters, abandoning the NWO economic paradigm and Big Brother tracking theyre adopting under 2030 treaties. Wonder about the background of the middle eastern key eye witness cited in the MSM. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8991fb189b089cc5caf45f9534c218b8062884b4912cef366dc00b2dc67caab7.png The screenshot from a video which allegedly shows airstrike has signs of what Hellfire/MAC missiles (- predator drone) can cause Bellingcrap used pics of a conveniently placed OFAB bomb remnant to prove a Russian airstrike but it defies any logic if you look at the other pics Seriously, you actually didnt believe them for a second, did you? United States is the new Third Reich. correction 4th Reich (being facetious) Whiskey setting in pretty well with you there Hillary supporter? It is a blow to democracy and an open society when the protectors of the truth become nothing more than egregious government propagandists! The American MSM and some of the MSM of its allies are liars and cheats and should be believed by no one! When I read or hear nonsense such as blaming the Russians for bombing a convoy, I try to find a rationale for doing so. In Russias case, I simply couldnt. Why would Russia do such a thing? There is absolutely no reason that I can think of for it to take such an egregious action. On the other hand, a nation that is actually supporting terrorism, such as the US, would, if not involved itself, at least support terrorist activity to keep the pot roiling in Syria. It is much more believable that terrorists did this evil deed than that Russia did it. I think it was a set up. There was a UN escort with that convoy. What happened to them, and what did they see? Also why have we not seen all of the 18 trucks supposedly bombed and why havent the trucks been blown apart like all the buildings surrounded them and boxes and food items not even singed or charred. US has a wellknown lying bunch of warcriminals as leaders. Putin is Great president! Its an affront to truth to treat falsehood with complaisance. Thomas Paine Who believes the crooked and tainted western media anyway?? Hey Fred-O real thinking people dont need to be paid to work out a logical conclusion. Showing your utter ignorance or worse, admitting to being a shill boy Im 69 years old. Never, during my years of political awareness, has the US government had any credibility at all. You can start with Gary Powers U-2 flight.
