Trigger article 1:

Syrian rebels accused of public executions
 By Norman Hermant and Matt Brown
 Updated August 02, 2012 09:19:59
  «[In Aleppo] there are signs that the regime is using anti-personnel artillery.
It’s the type that bursts in the air, tears through flesh but also leaves deep pockmarks on asphalt and concrete and the place was absolutely riddled with bullet holes.
But the government is still pounding Daara and Homs ...» 
[AusBC/Hermant&Brown]

Comment 1: This - i.e. "tears through flesh" - is *exactly* what I mean when I refer to AusBC-transmitted, often *actively assisted* PRopaganda.

Comment 2: The language is *designed* to shock & revolt, next = "still pounding Daara and Homs ..."

Comment 3: One wonders, not *if* but *how far in* this Matt Brown is embedded - into 'rebel' ranks, since the view-point is invariably (~95%) anti-Assad.

Comment 4: Example 5% exception: "Video footage posted on the internet appears to show rebels executing four captured pro-regime militia fighters."

Comment 5, note: AusBC has two relatively recent 'new' PRopagandists, Norman Hermant and Matt Brown. Anne Barker gone (temporarily) AWOL? - Or, perhaps some true humanitarian impulse has emerged to bring her some sense? Recall that these people are 'news-professionals;' *they* must know before all of us, we the people, what's *really* going on - which in Syria, as in Libya, Iraq etc., is the pre-meditated smashing of yet another not sufficiently prone regime, and the poor, hapless citizens paying the greatest price. Those who *foment* violent insurgencies are at least as equally guilty as those who fire the guns, set off the bombs.

Trigger article 2:

Obama signed deal to support rebels: reports
The World Today
 By Brendan Trembath in Washington, staff
 Updated August 02, 2012 16:07:36
  «US president Barack Obama has reportedly signed a secret order authorising US support for rebels in Syria.» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: Utterly risible disinformation. The US 'secrecy' is so full of holes that a presidential 'secret order' gets into the AusBC 'news,' possibly even before Obama's ink has dried? You believe this sort of s**t? Not only that, but the US has been actively involved in fomenting trouble for yonks, almost from the year dot. Q: How do we know this? A: They often so boast.

Comment 2: Just as in Libya, the demos turned violent. One question is Q: Who did the turning? A: One answer is 'US-fomenting.'[2] Of course, the US prefers another A: Assad - but the US *has* to say that, a) to demonise Assad and b) to disguise the criminal US' handiwork. We *know* that the US *officially* spends squillions subverting its (or perhaps more often, Zs') perceived 'enemies,' and recently the NYT confirmed the CIA being actively involved; now we have ditto from the AusBC. Another snip: "Brown says he is surprised by the rebels' resources and organisation." Brown clearly can't see the CIA organizers' fingerprints and/or methodologies (perhaps "none so blind?") The US death-squad modus operandi bears the name 'El Salvador Option' with good - actually, of course, bad - reason.

A Year Later, HRW Admits Syrian Rebels Guilty of Atrocities
Kidnapping, Torture, & Murder of Civilians by Syrian Opposition Confirmed.
by Tony Cartalucci
March 20, 2012
  «Human Right Watch (HRW), just as it did in Libya, waited until the very last possible moment to admit what the alternative media had been reporting for over a year - that Syria's rebels are craven, torturing, kidnapping, murdering terrorists committing widespread and systematic atrocities not only against security forces, but against anyone suspected of supporting the Syrian government as well as randomly targeted civilians.» 
[landdestroyer/Tony Cartalucci]

Comment (part-repeat): Having seen Saddam/Iraq and Gaddafi/Libya, it would be 'curious' of Assad to provide the US any rope with which to hang himself. Yet this is what 'the West' = US+SQSHsO PRopaganda would have us, we the people, believe. Article after article, as above from the AusBC contain grim images designed to shock and revolt, describing outrages which by all good sense, can hardly be happening - if perpetrated by Assad, but *perfectly* concurrent with the externally supplied and supported drive towards 'regime-change.' Again the US-hubris; Clark told us, years ago, that smashing Assad among others ("how we're going to take out seven countries in five years") was official US policy.

-=*=-

Musing: The AusBC must know what they are doing; a) their 'reports' are indistinguishable from any other 'Western' MSM and/or PFBC outfit, and b) their 'reports' invariably support the 'Western' = US+SQSHsO line = we ('the West') good, Assad ('the monster') bad. It means that the AusBC is 'in the loop,' they are acting consciously = conspirators in support of Nuremberg-class crime, since their intentions are kept from us. Secrecy is a requirement of crime, if only to avoid self-incrimination, but those with eyes open wide enough will see right through such criminality.

-=*=-

Fazit: Those who aid crime make themselves criminals by the accessory mechanism. It means not 'just' the prime-perpetrators = US regime plus its 'illegitimate side-kick' Z-regime but also the 'cooperating' SQSHsO regimes (like F+UK/NATO, now TR) - AND - the cooperating corrupt & venal MSM and PFBCs like the AusBC. All equally guilty, m'lud! (To hang by the neck ...)
