TheMadonnaFiles_CoverArt-2I voted for Trump for one simple reason. He asked the question “Who are these “Moderate Rebels” in Syria?  adding “Hillary doesn’t even know who they are.”

Hillary also doubled down on her reckless foreign policy views  by promoting a “No fly zone” in Syria that Obama’s own Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff said would lead to war with Russia.

“Who are these “Moderate” rebels is a question never asked of Hillary by the Washington Post, New York Times, CNN and the rest of the Main Stream Media. But let’s be clear on one thing the “Moderate Rebels” don’t exist ..It’s all made up – It’s fake news.

The ineptness of not asking Hillary tough questions is troubling enough but for the 4th estate to circle the wagons and accuse hundreds of media outlets of promoting fake news stories because they were not smart enough to understand they were being  duped by the Russian government’s clever manipulation of social media conducted by highly sophisticated Russian “internet trolls”  is scary, awful, stupid.  The narrative that the Syrian rebels are not all good guys and that Russia’s skepticism of the rebels chances of bringing stability to the country is NOT a fake news story.

The Washington Post has promoted the deadly fake news story for years that “Moderate Rebels” could bring peace and democracy to Syria. It’s just a big fat lie .   The moderate rebels, as anyone who reads past a headline, understands that the forces fighting Assad in Syria are thugs and mercenary soldiers  even terrorists getting paid well by the CIA and Saudi Arabia to conduct “controlled chaos” inside Syria.

Main stream media has tried to control the narrative  i.e. its fake news story,  of the Syrian civil war with horrific consequences.  The Washington Post,  asserts that Assad is the evil tyrant “barrel bombing” his own people and that the indispensable nation of the United States of America has been morally obligated to stand with the freedom seeking Syrians. The Washington Post, in its support of this story line, has, with hat in hand, dutifully gone along with the Washington Establishment’s recommendation of pursuing regime change.  With the Washington Post any news story about the Syrian civil war that John McCain or  Lindsey Graham object to is immediately branded as fake news manipulated by Russia.

The Washington Post’s desperate  attempts at smearing competing news outlets is not just about protecting its credibility and relevance but it’s also about defending itself against the real possibility that they have been morally wrong on their views on the Syrian conflict and that their support of their fake news narrative has led to Syrian blood on their own ink stained hands.
