Laith Marouf is in the region and speaks about the reality of the situation and the outlook, the future (video below). Unlike his host, Dimitri Lascaris, and all the other Western analysts in the alternative media, who are much too optimistic based solely on their wishes for it to not be so, Marouf tells it as it is. He speaks of the bitter, hard reality, that no one in the West, including those in the alternative media, is acknowledging. They talk instead, of condemning Israel, supporting Palestinians, ending sanctions, feuds between Biden/Trump and Netanyahu, and a whole bunch of other useless crap, that amounts to nothing but soothing words to those who speak them.
And because they are not telling their audience the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but instead, making it seem like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, like there is hope, like there is progress, like there is change on the horizon, people are doing nothing but sitting around and waiting for it to all blow up in Israel’s face, when they should be pounding at the doors and halls of power, demanding an end to the starvation, the shootings, and the bombings.
We are being kept docile with stories of how Israelis are leaving Israel en masse and how Israeli society is falling apart, how reservists are refusing to fight, and how the Israeli economy is in the dumps. And stories of how BRICS, which came into existence in 2009, is going to do great things to counter the imperialists and create a new currency to compete with the almighty US dollar. All of this makes us, the viewer, believe that it’s only a matter of time until Universal Justice miraculously unfolds itself like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
What those in the mainstream media are doing is telling lies and distorting the truth, thereby manipulating their audience into believing Zionist propaganda. What those in the alternative media are doing is giving false hope to those who reject Zionist propaganda, thereby keeping them inactive.
We’ve been lied to for over three years now - those of us following alternative news sources - about how “the United States has no more weapons left to give to Ukraine”. Meanwhile, the United States is still giving weapons to Ukraine, and not only that, they have a whole load more weapons that they are now giving to Israel as well. I do not know if those in the alternative media know that they are controlled opposition, or whether they really believe the lies their sources feed them. Either way, they’re just as much wrong as are the journalists in the mainstream media.
As for putting any hope in the BRICS alliance, well, 16 years on, and they have accomplished nothing at all. Nothing that they could not have accomplished as individual nations, without this pointless alliance of their ministries of foreign affairs. Even the “BRICS bank”, the NDB, (New Development Bank) wrote in a report last year: “A failure to demonstrate continued access to the long-term US dollar market at improving rates compatible with its business model would put pressure on our assessment of liquidity.”1 In other words, they need the US dollar. In an article on their website last year, that has now been removed, BRICS actually wrote that, contrary to popular belief, they will not be creating a new currency, but will simply use their own currencies instead of the dollar, as much as possible, to conduct trade.
In conclusion, whatever side of the fence you’re on, whether it’s Alternative or MSN, you are being fooled and fed nothing but hot air, while your tax money continues to be used to commit mass murder and ethnic cleansing, in your name. We do not need Peace now, we need it yesterday. Time is a luxury we do not have.
