globinfo freexchange Independent journalist Eva Bartlett spoke with Lee Camp about her recent trip in Syria. Bartlett visited the hospital in Douma where many victims of the latest alleged chemical attack went to receive medical care. Bartlett spoke with a medical student who was working the day of the alleged attack, and actually confirmed the reporting by the veteran journalist Robert Fisk, according to which there was no evidence of a chemical attack.





Bartlett also went to Daraa, where the first protests took place in 2011, and spoke to people there. They confirmed what many other investigative journalists support.



This is strong evidence that it was a false flag operation that actually sparked the subsequent riots:





In the initial protest, Daraa was named as the birthplace of the so-called revolution. And Daraa is a city in the very south of Syria, not a very large city, and a rather unlikely city for a so-called revolution to have started. But prior going to Daraa, I interviewed a doctor who was working at a military hospital about 40 kilometres from Daraa, and I asked him about his experiences.





He said that there were many doctors on staff that days, so many that he wasn't in need, he was just sitting drinking a coffee because his services weren't in need. He said that on this day - it was a Friday the second Friday in March, and protests had started on Fridays, coming out of mosques. And on this Friday, he said a general told hospital staff to give priority to civilians over soldiers - even though this is a military hospital.





He was watching al-jazeera lying, saying that the hospital was denying treatment to civilians, and he also said that he saw somebody was live-streaming from his hospital. And I thought that was very interesting because back in 2011, I wonder what average civilian had access to the kind of technology that would allow them to livestream from a hospital in Daraa. S o, it's interesting, that's just an aside.
