This topic may seem unrelated to the problems in the West, but it is not. It’s just another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that we all need to grasp to understand the bigger picture and realise who our real enemies are….

Vanessa Beeley is an independent journalist, peace activist presenter on the UK Column. Vanessa has her on substack and provides commentary on Syria, Yemen, the Middle East and the issues that affect all of us globally. She now lives in Syria and reports first-hand from the ground about the reality of life in the Middle East.

For decades our Governments in the West have lied to us, fomented hatred, interfered in other countries, toppled democratically elected leaders, appointed dictators and tyrants including religious extremists who on the surface appear to be anti-West to suit their own geopolitical goals.

Almost everything you know about the Middle East, told to you by the BBC, CNN and other mainstream outlets is either incorrect, a distraction, misdirection or propaganda. It is designed to manufacture YOUR consent to justify war, violence, death and theft of other countries’ resources.

The aim of having fantastic guests like Vanessa on the show is to shatter the lies and shed light on the truth. I hope that when people realise the magnitude of how much their governments have lied to us on this issue, it will make them ask “What else have they and continue to lie to us about?”.

I hope you enjoy this episode.

Much love Ahmad
