I want to learn more about the topic, but everything I see is western bs supporting the current Al-Qaeda regime.

I'm sure you guys also have the same troubles when trying to educate yourselves on such conflicts, so how do you make sure to get a perspective uninfluenced by western bs?

I understand what different sources are available. In Syria there are two pro-Western or pro-Syria (Bashar al-Assad). Now I can't guarantee that Russia, Iran, or Syria is telling me the truth, but it is a good counter-narrative.

Make sure to learn about Genie Energy, an American energy company with ties to the American and Israeli government which is allowed to mine at the Golan Heights. Its investor include Dick Cheney, Rupert Murdoch, James Woolsey (former CIA director), Larry Summers (former head of the US Treasury), and Jacob Rothschild https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genie_Energy

The late Serena Shim who worked for Iranian Press TV showing how Turkey worked with anti-Bashar al-Assad Syrian insurgents not long before mostly likely being killed by the Turkish government. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3g5w6l

This is from Zerohedge which used is a right-wing libertarian media platform that used to be more alternative and anti-imperialist, but now is basically a mainstream conservative outlet. This is an old Zerohedge article of alleged manufactured images used to make the now former Syrian government look bad. https://web.archive.org/web/20190331224020/https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/04/16/take-the-red-pill-the-history-of-syrian-false-flags-exposed/
