\"paul<\/a>16 Apr 2016 – <\/em>On April 14 Syria held parliamentary elections at 7,000 polling stations, keeping the voting open an extra five hours to accommodate the massive turnout. All were allowed to vote, even displaced Syrians from the two provinces still terrorized by Washington and Israeli backed ISIS.<\/p>\n

Washington is angry, because Syria held elections before Washington had time to purchase its slate of politicians and organize Washington-funded NGOs to take to the streets to protest and to claim that Assad had stolen the election.<\/p>\n

Despite the massive voter turnout and extended hours for voting, the US State Department set the tone by declaring that the elections are not legitimate in Washington\u2019s eyes and do not represent \u201cthe will of the Syrian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s two-bit punk vassals in London and Paris chimed in with both claiming that the war conditions in Syria to which London and Paris have contributed mean that the idea of elections is \u201ctotally unrealistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/em> lied, characteristically, that the elections, which seem to demonstrate nationwide solidarity against the Western-backed overthrow of the Syrian government, \u201chighlight divisions and uncertainty.\u201d The Washington Post<\/em> added its lies and misrepresentations to the propagandistic reporting.<\/p>\n

The Western governments are far out on a limb with their lies that the Syrian people prefer to be governed by the Washington supported terrorists who were overrunning their country and conducting with Western supplied weapons mass murder on the Syrian people until Russia put a stop to it. Now the Western liars are exposed yet again by election results, and so the liars must pretend that the election lacks validity.<\/p>\n

Contrast the reports coming from the Western conspirators against Syria with the news report<\/a> by Vanessa Beeley in 21st Century Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s propaganda onslaught against the Syrian elections is clear evidence that Washington has no commitment to the peace accord and simply used the \u201cpeace process\u201d in order to prevent the liberation of Raqqa and Idlib from ISIS.<\/p>\n

Putin and Assad should take note that Washington still intends to overthrow the Syrian government and to install either a puppet or chaos as in Iraq and Libya.<\/p>\n
