“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Fake News!
One of the finest photographs of propaganda we have seen so far in Syria, is this Syrian boy Omran Daqneesh was taken after the bombing of the rebel-held Qaterji district of Aleppo in August 2016
the photograph was released by British and American ally the White Helmets and used by every Western media outlet to justify the Western back Civil war in Syria.
Unfortunately this narrative was blown out the water pretty quick as his father supported the legal government of Syria and only condemned the western backed rebel forces, which is slightly outside of their remit for their funding.
Thank God for the free press.
