Vanessa Beeley describes the near-impossibility of holding a conference about the role of U.K. media in promoting war in Syria.
In 'liberal' and 'democratic' Britain, venues are cancelled and permits are revoked. Only those who promote illegal wars are given free reign to express their opinions in civil society. In the U.K., you can 'platform' Al Qaeda supporters, but not critics of their Syria activities.
On the heels of the successful "Media on Trial" community conference, Beeley explains why war propaganda in the service of aggression needs to be criminalized. Taylor and Beeley also discuss the 'shadow state' networks in which Anglo-American governments fund organizations on the ground in Syria that provide 'corroborating evidence' for the U.S./U.K. narrative about that country. Such networks involve 'humanitarian actors' such as the White Helmets, and larger organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
