This Week on GR

The massacre of Alowites in Syria has the makings of another genocide. Western governments are downplaying the carnage carried out by their Cat's Paw "president", the so-called Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani, leader of the Al Qaeda associated Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham or HST. The former Islamic State and Islamic State in Iraq terrorist-for-hire is now bestowed media protection, given the sheen of respectability only a well-tailored western suit of clothes and favourable press coverage can imbue.
The horrors avoided by queasy mainstream outlets can be viewed though on various social media platforms; the HST marauders of the Alowite dominated coastal and mountain villages taking a page from the Israeli Defense Force playbook and uploading their atrocities as they are committed. Some thousands fled to the Russian air base Khmeimim in the early hours of the pogrom, but their and the fate of the Russian bases remaining in Syria is up in the air at the moment.
John Helmer’s a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in and reporting from Russia. He’s the principle behind the web news site, Dances with Bears and has, as well as serving as advisor to governments at the highest level, too been a professor of political science, sociology, and journalism. Among his many book titles are: ‘The Man Who Knows Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17, ‘Skripal in Prison,’ and now the freshly released Skripal sequel, 'LONG LIVE NOVICHOK! The British Poison that Fooled the World'.
John Helmer and Dances with Bears on the case, getting what information is to be gotten from the Russian side of the Syria question.
