Our new mini-documentary from the Middle East shows again the kind of reporting that no Western media either can or will do.
We hope to visit Damascus where Western media is giving entirely sycophantic and false coverage to the new HTS regime, praising the return of Pringles to the shops while ignoring massacres.
But we are completely out of funding. I have made an overall loss now in five figures on our work in the Middle East since October.
There has been not one mainstream journalist here showing the truth of Israeli bombing and occupation in Lebanon. There are some excellent local journalists but we have a far greater reach in the West, with some of our individual videos getting millions of views there.
The days when the MSM would employ honest foreign correspondents like Robert Fisk are sadly long gone. The likes of the BBC and the CNN cover Lebanon and Syria through an exclusively Zionist lens from Tel Aviv.
I hope to pave the way for citizen activism journalism that does not merely analyse from afar, but reports from the ground, even and perhaps especially in difficult or dangerous locations. If it goes well I entertain the dream of establishing a permanent centre here, employing local staff, which could then host star visiting “new media” journalists for extended periods.
Unfortunately to date I have not been able to make a voluntary donation and subscription funding model work, even for the low-cost guerilla-filming approach Niels and I have been adopting. That may be because the model is not possible, or just reflect my own limits of reach and my lack of fundraising ability.
It is certain that there has been extreme social media suppression of our output, but we have still gained a wide audience. I am therefore making an attempt to appeal for support for what I believe to be not just worthwhile but vital work, as historic changes unfold in the Middle East.
I do not back away from the avowed aim of defeating Imperialism and the Greater Israel project, with the weapons of truth and light.
But if this appeal does not work quickly, we will be forced to give up and return to Europe.
Unless you are so wealthy it does not matter to you, I would much prefer you not to give again if you already have supported. We really need to widen the number of financial supporters, and perhaps instead you can recommend to others.
I absolutely do not want anybody to give anything if it causes them the least financial hardship.

Another very authoritative report, clearly spelling out the absurdity of a 5,000-staff “embassy” in such a tiny country. What is the approved explanation for it? Has the respectable media even asked them for one?
Credit where credit’s due – this news webpage has had a go at explanation –
https://merip.org/2024/04/beirut-and-the-birth-of-the-fortress-embassy/
…and even the MSM company CNN has had a go –
https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/12/middleeast/massive-us-embassy-middle-east-mime-intl/index.html
https://www.thenational.scot/news/24867004.israeli-prison-service-aiming-halt-displays-joy-released/
“THE ISRAELI Prison Service has said it will be taking measures to prevent any “public displays of joy” when prisoners are released as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal. ”
From war on terror to war on joy?
Racist supremacists really don’t like their victims expressing basic humanity. I’m told Doris Lessing made this point in a Rhodesian context.
Watch out for western MSM portraying any kind of jubilation among Palestinians released from occupation jails, or among their family members, as signifying “Ha ha – evil grin – we’ve got the better of you, and we’re just as evil as ever”.
If you think that’s an exaggeration of the message, click here:

Meanwhile – never forget – ~2 million people are homeless in Gaza because of terrorist attacks. That’s three times as many as were made homeless by Zionist terror attacks in the Nakba of 1948-49.
Meanwhile the Jews who are released are likely to be all portrayed as innocent victims, even those who are soldiers.
Splendid report Craig, captivating and informative. The interviewed lebanese in the video speak of american influence as an obvious fact but how did this influence come to be? Who is really pulling the strings? Is it the saudis that acting like a proxy for the americans or perhaps acting as proxy for the lebanese? Do the lebanese have any say on any critical matter?
Imagine if Lebanon wanted to build this gigantic embassy in the US. They would of course get a total rejection in return!
This is of course nothing but a spy hub, a gated community complex, a luxury mini-american-state in the middle of – I assume a very poor suburb – of Lebanon.
It is very strange how these nations become retrograde and more dependent on the colonial powers of the west and not less as one would have assumed. Who in Lebanon benefit from this enroachment and subserviance to the americans? What do they get in return?
Look on the bright side, all the filth is concentrated in one pit.
