00:00:44.800
be that as or they're paid someone or like hey to do this now we need to for again for the what they
00:00:50.000
consider to be the dumb western audiences oh you need to show what a brutal dictator assad was look
00:00:55.900
were there people in prison yeah i get these like october 7th vibes you know i mean of like
00:01:00.860
babies in ovens and right like it's almost too much and it's like yeah there probably were some
00:01:06.640
hardcore criminals in some of these prisons but it just feels when western press get access and and
00:01:13.780
are part of like with with al-nustra front mem hts slash al-nustra front armed guards allowed to be
00:01:23.380
let in and and walk into a prison like this but they never but but you never saw something like
00:01:29.100
that when when assad was in power like when his people when his troops so that because they knew
00:01:33.360
these guys are the are are the enemy right of sorts and i kind of and i agree with him western
00:01:40.460
media is is is is an enemy right there's an enemy of the people it's controlled the majority of it is
00:01:46.600
just propaganda and subversive uh messaging and and gay ass narratives all the time and it is we can
00:01:53.320
never get a straight answer it's just lies lies lies all the time right so when shit like this unfolds
00:01:57.980
you're just like there's something fishy here this is this is weird but he tells you the framing of it
00:02:03.640
tells you most likely again i don't want to be you know just because it's not 100 of the times but
00:02:09.080
like it probably tells you assad was probably pretty decent and these guys are probably like
00:02:16.200
the worst type of scum and they probably also to a certain extent know that like look if you want
00:02:21.300
the backing of the of of uh you know western occupied uh you know countries occupied by israel
00:02:28.180
that is in terms of their foreign policy if you want us to to be part of this and and we funded you
00:02:34.020
and supported you this long you better let let the give some camera people in here you better let some of
00:02:38.520
reporters come in and we'll we'll do some sob story about someone being in a prison look look at look
00:02:43.860
at it and tell me what you tell me what you feel when you look at something like this i can't tell
00:02:47.860
though it might just be a blanket but it's the only cell that's locked is he gonna shoot it the guard
00:02:54.100
makes us turn the camera off while he shoots the lock off the cell door okay why couldn't they show
00:03:04.160
that what why why did they do black screen right there they fade to black and then back in again
00:03:10.960
like okay you didn't include that but like okay we go in to get a closer look no not even that they
00:03:22.360
actually did because this goddamn cell door wasn't locked do you know what i mean
00:03:25.800
look it's still not clear if there is something under the blanket
00:03:30.480
and she goes in like she would go in first we go in to get a closer look
00:03:37.380
it's still not clear if there is like she would they have no idea technically what's in what's in
00:03:44.900
that cell then right otherwise they knew what was in there and they said okay it's fine to go in now
00:03:51.500
but but like look at the next part here this is just it's so bad under the blanket
00:03:56.400

00:04:24.760
because of all the bombs the white helmets you know uh blew blew off close to him so he can't
00:04:30.680
really hear so it's not until the the bigger guard here yells at him real like hey hey bro your cue
