This article is interesting and comes from Dr. Idress Ahmad of Stirling University.
A video is circulating of a woman revealing “the truth” on Syria that is being withheld from us by “the mainstream media”. The woman is introduced as an “independent Canadian journalist”. She is said to be speaking “at the UN”. The date is December 9, 2016. The video has become viral.

The result; we can’t make heads or tails out of any of it. More like Huxley’s world, I guess.
