War propaganda begins: UK airstrikes hit Syrian oil field already “obliterated”

Good to see Tom back after an absence of several months, and in fine, incisive form. And in this article he shows that the spin and propaganda has already begun. This is Cameron’s Orwellian Dystopia, with Dave himself as Big Brother. Just wait: in a few months he’ll start trying to tell us that ‘War is peace’.

Pride's Purge

On the 23rd of October, the UK press reported that Russian and US planes had completely “obliterated” the Omar oil field in Syria which is under the control of Daesh:

“The terrorists’ oil field in eastern Syria was obliterated in a day of bombing conducted by both Russia and the US-led coalition. US operations officer Major Michael Filanowski told reporters in Baghdad the Omar oil field was blitzed, heavily damaging the lucrative funding source for ISIS.”

But today the same press is reporting the same “obliterated” oil field was hit by UK airstrikes:

“Four Tornados took off from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus just an hour after MPs voted in favour of launching airstrikes in the war-torn country. The jets struck targets in the Omar oil field in Eastern Syria, dealing a “real blow” to the death cult, also known as Daesh.”

The first casualty of war is always the truth…
