So what 'sources' are you babbling about, nutjob? Do you think you could stop fantasizing about 'sources' and address the facts? Or is that completely beyond you?

Don't answer that. I already know that your brain is nothing except a pit of writhing snakes that will never, EVER be able to deal with facts.




Let me just point out that the author left out vital relevant facts in the opinion piece. Doing that is known as cherry-picking. And whether you do that in the news, in discussion, in debate or in opinion, when you distort the facts, you've changed the nature of your communication into propaganda. But WE don't have any of THAT in the US, do we?!

Just because SIG claims she is quoting the source she lists doesn't mean she is. The claim about Syria Direct being responsible for preventing aid conveys is bullshit. Syria Direct is being cut off from funding for corruption and is being told to clean up it's act. That's not even close to what SIG claims. Again, she is a liar. SIG claims to be quoting them over and over again and it is all bullshit. She lives in a world of trolling for Russia as do you.

This is nothing new. You two have been doing this ever since I got here so probably before as well comrade.

As for the source I spoke about she has been referencing them as well. But you know that. I certainly am not going to list them all moron. My point was made in my last post about the SEAKER source and now again here about how she may list a source and that source says nothing of what she claims.

I did and she lied comrade. Although it doesn't matter with the two of you because you just lie, deflect and post subjective bullshit to confuse in the next post.

An example would be this post of yours I am addressing now. My post that you are referring to says I checked out her link and she lied. I even told you what the link actually said. You posted knowing I checked out her link, yet you suggest I did not. Hence, a lie by you. She lies, you lie. Nothing changes comrade

Aleppo Local Council Rejects Presence of Russian Forces on Castello Road
Sep 15th, 2016 by Alsouria Net (opposition website)

Presence of the Russian forces on the Castello Road is not acceptable due to its lack of neutrality, says local council
Aleppo Local Council Rejects Presence of Russian Forces on Castello Road

The local opposition council in Aleppo rejected on Tuesday any deployment of Russian armed forces on Castello Road, saying that it and not the Assad regime was the party that should monitor the delivery of aid to the area.

Brita Hagi Hassan, head of the local council told Reuters he had received an aid plan but that it did not contain any details about how the operation would be carried out. He said, “The presence of the Russian side on the Castello Road is not acceptable due to its lack of neutrality.”

He added that the party supervising the road must not open the shipments, which should include fuel, medicine and flour.

It is expected that Aleppo — which is divided between areas under opposition control in the eastern part and the regime in the western part — will receive aid within the framework of the recently brokered Russian-American deal.


The Assad regime announced that it rejected the delivery of humanitarian aid to Aleppo especially from Turkey without coordination with the United Nations.

Meanwhile, activist Hassan Abou Nouh said that the bombardment had stopped in the city of Telbeesa (Homs countryside), which is under the control of rebel groups and which was subjected to heavy bombardment in the period before the truce. He told Agence-France Presse: “Usually we are kept up all night by warplanes, but we slept this night.”

The Russian-American truce deal excepts what they call “jihadist groups”, including the Islamic State group and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly Nusra Front), on the model of the previous deal which they reached in February and lasted for weeks.

Which road to Aleppo? Opposition refuses aid delivery via Castello Road
Aug. 31, 2016

The United Nations is calling for a 48-hour ceasefire to allow food and medicine to enter the embattled city of Aleppo, but a row over which route the aid convoys are to use has brought the plan to a halt.

The UN wants to use Castello Road, the road north of Aleppo that after weeks of bombing the regime captured last month to complete its encirclement of east Aleppo.

“If Castello Road becomes an aid corridor, the regime will make it impossible for us, as the opposition, to take it back,” Muhammad Fadila, the head of the Provincial Council of Aleppo, tells Syria Direct’s Bahira al-Zarier.


Representatives of the provincial council met with officials from the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) on Monday to explain their decision to refuse aid from Castello. The UNOCHA representatives said they would "convey the council's position" to the UN's Special Envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura for further review, Fadila said.

Instead of Castello, Fadila and the council are demanding that aid enter through the southwestern Ramouseh route. The Ramouseh district was captured by rebels weeks after Castello fell, effectively breaking the regime’s short, but total, siege of east Aleppo.

Ramouseh is “unacceptable and unrealistic,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharov, whose government expressed support for the UN plan, said in a statement published on the foreign ministry’s website on Monday.

“These pseudo-fighters for the Syrian people…have no scruples about using the [population’s] hard humanitarian situation for achieving their own destructive goals,” said Zakharova.

Syria Direct spoke with five residents of rebel-held east Aleppo, including the directors of two aid organizations, all of whom said they preferred the entrance of aid through Ramouseh.

“We completely reject the entrance of aid through Castello Road,” Hanaa al-Qassab, president of the Aleppo-based Syrian Women’s Association, told Syria Direct. Below, she explains why.

Muhammed Fadila, head of the Opposition Aleppo Provincial Council

Q: Why is the Aleppo Provincial Council refusing the entrance of aid by way of Castello Road?

If Castello Road becomes an aid corridor, the regime will exploit it to turn it into a political bargaining chip and ultimately make it impossible for us, as the opposition, to take Castello Road back. Additionally, the entrance of aid from Ramouseh will be a safer avenue for humanitarian workers.

When we called on the United Nations and international community to halt the regime’s vicious attack on Castello Road, at the time the only humanitarian corridor into the city, no one responded. When the regime encircled [east] Aleppo, we issued a plea for aid from the international community. Again, no one answered.

Q: Given that Ramouseh is under constant threat of airstrikes and attack, why do you want aid to come from there?

Ramouseh was seized through the efforts of the opposition. If we agreed to the entrance of aid through Castello Road, it would be as though we were betraying the blood spilt to take Ramouseh.

Much was sacrificed to turn Ramouseh into a humanitarian passage.

As 2 more districts fall to regime, noose tightens around east Aleppo’s 300,000 residents
Jul. 28, 2016

Assad regime drops pamphlets telling east Aleppans they can leave; residents cite “publicity stunt” as diapers and toothbrushes rain from the sky.

AMMAN: Rebel forces lost two strategic districts along the last access road into opposition-held east Aleppo city, tightening the regime’s now-total encirclement of Syria’s largest urban center as local residents said on Thursday they fear “the worst is yet to come.”

Regime forces strengthened their hold over the Castello Road by driving rebel fighters out of the Beni Zeid district, which lies alongside Castello, and, up until Wednesday, was part of rebel-held east Aleppo.

Also on Wednesday, a concurrent YPG assault and victory over a second rebel-held district adjacent to Beni Zeid contributed to the regime’s ability to break through the opposition’s ranks.

“Beni Zeid did not fall overnight,” Abu Teem al-Halabi, an Aleppo-based citizen journalist told Syria Direct on Thursday. “The regime tried to capture this district at least 20 times to no avail, but a combination of Russian air support…and YPG advances contributed to this result.”

While the YPG and Syrian regime forces launched an offensive on the same day against two adjoining rebel-held districts, it was not immediately clear to what extent, if at all, the two parties coordinated the campaign.

On Tuesday, regime forces moved from “fire cutting” Castello, or holding the road through extreme bombardment, to physically controlling a section of the road, which previously facilitated the movement of food, medicine and other supplies to east Aleppo city’s nearly 300,000 residents.

On July 8, regime forces—backed by Iranian militias and Russian air cover—captured several positions overlooking Castello Road. A barrage of, on average, “150 strikes per day—including airstrikes, barrel bombs and artillery rounds” rendered the route inaccessible, a volunteer with the Syrian Civil Defense in east Aleppo told Syria Direct earlier this month.

“The regime taking control of Castello is a disaster for the people of Aleppo,” Ammar al-Halabi, an embedded reporter with rebel brigades witnessing the battle for the access road, told Syria Direct on Wednesday. “There’s no longer anywhere to move the wounded outside of Aleppo or to bring anything to the city.”

“This tragedy will impact the people of Aleppo—our family and relatives—in every aspect of life,” he added.

Beni Zeid’s civilians long-since fled after repeated Kurdish attempts to overtake the city, Milad Shahabi, an east Aleppo-based citizen journalist told Syria Direct on Thursday.

“There was really no one inside Beni Zeid except for a few rebels,” he added.

While rebel fighters reportedly withdrew from Beni Zeid before the regime’s offensive, avoiding heavy losses, the territorial concession makes it even less likely that rebels will reopen the Castello Road.

Castello “has been completely destroyed as a result of heavy air raids and violent artillery bombardment,” embedded journalist al-Halabi told Syria Direct. “There’s not a single meter without a shell or a rocket in it. It’s totally impassable.”

With fewer than 1,000 remaining, Darayya rebels ‘abandoned’ as regime advances
Jul. 11, 2016

AMMAN: Syrian regime forces and allied militias have advanced a half kilometer into the encircled West Ghouta suburb of Darayya, the second major incursion into the opposition-held pocket in as many weeks, two rebel fighters in the suburb told Syria Direct on Monday.

Syrian army forces now control the entire eastern half of Darayya after advancing for nearly two days behind a steady barrage of surface-to-surface missiles, mortars and barrel bombs, Abu Bilal a-Deirani, a fighter with the Free Syrian Army-affiliated Liwa Shuhada al-Islam, told Syria Direct Monday.

“As things stand now, we have very little equipment and have suffered massive casualties,” said a-Deirani, adding that “there is a serious lack of both doctors and fighters” to stave off regime forces.

Syrian state media has not commented on the offensive in Darayya.

Fewer than 1,000 rebel fighters from the FSA’s Liwa Shuhada al-Islam and Ajnad a-Sham, an Islamist brigade, now remain in Darayya. Regime forces first encircled the suburb in 2012. More than 120 of these rebels have died in fighting since last August, said a-Deirani.

Darayya is located next to several regime military facilities, including the Mezzeh Military Airport and the 4th Armored Division base. The suburb is fewer than seven kilometers due south of Syria’s Presidential Palace.

The town is important not only symbolically as one of the first to rise up against the regime, but also because opposition forces once believed the foothold, surrounded by regime territory, could one day serve as a “launching pad into Damascus,” a-Deirani and others inside Darayya told Syria Direct.

Despite ostensibly being included in the cessation of hostilities agreement brokered by Russia and the United States this February, regime forces have continually bombarded Darayya, dropping more than 200 barrel bombs on the city during one week in June.

Although the language of the February ceasefire agreement also called for aid to enter Darayya and other besieged cities, no aid entered Darayya until June. When the first UN-sponsored food aid shipment did enter, it included “only enough to provide food for one month for only a third of the city’s population,” Darayya’s Local Council wrote in a Facebook post on June 15.

“During the ceasefire, the regime attempted to enter the city, killing and wounding hundreds of fighters and destroying their equipment,” Sayyed, a Liwa Shuhada al-Islam spokesman, told Syria Direct on Monday.

Late last month, Darayya rebels launched a night-time raid against regime checkpoints west of the city, temporarily breaking the blockade separating the suburb from neighboring Moadhamiyet a-Sham.

But the rebel victory would prove short-lived.

“The morning after we took control [of the checkpoints between Darayya and Moadhamiyet a-Sham] the regime deployed special forces and spread snipers throughout the area,” said a-Deirani.

“They brought in approximately 20 tanks and eight Shilkas,” he added. Shilkas are a type of Soviet-era anti-aircraft weapons systems that the regime uses in urban environments.

Over the following week, regime forces recaptured the
