Or how I learned how to stop worrying and love the propaganda.

Right now the Assad regime delegation at Geneva 2 has denied blockade access to Homs. Their current tactic is calling for evacuation of women and children. This is a death sentence to the males.

For the past few years I've been documenting the goings-on in Syria, from peaceful protests[0] to the weapons system fingered for the chemical weapons attacks[1] before the attack took place.

Watching SANA, Syrian State news, gives a good insight into what shill social accounts will be promoting tomorrow, and what has the regime's interest. When the Assad regime was holding a 2012 referendum vote they were chasing civilians around in armored vehicles in Homs[2]. This was even before part of it was walled in[3].

The live broadcasts from 2011 and 2012 captivated many, this post is just an update using SANA's delightful propaganda as a stage for a terrible topic.
