[ Editor’s Note: A wrinkle has emerged in the Ghouta refugee story not mentioned below, but has been in earlier stories, that the 400,000 figure may have been pumped up as it theoretically was presented as a large number of supporters of the “civil war” segment in the Damascus suburbs.
An earlier story from the Russian military posed that there may not be near that many. From the overhead map shots the building concentrated areas do look like they could hold another 300,000, but for one problem.
A huge number of those buildings are destroyed and high rise buildings cannot fit all their residents in the basement. We will not know for sure until the battle is over. But what we do have from the US Coalition is a long history of lying to the American people about anything they chose to keep us in a deep supportive slumber…”Assad bad, we good”.
The 70% territory figure is not important, but what percentage of the population has been liberated. And there is no way anybody knows as after five years of conflict many have already left, tending to leave those behind that did not have the resources to leave.
All will be known in the end, and I would like to say that would initiate a “reckoning” with the State level official liars. But we have had much revealed already with virtually no public blow-back, the worst being the proven US backing of terrorists in Syria.
As you watch the video of these people leaving, especially the low to the ground angle shot, notice how few are carrying bags for even one change of clothing, or personal things. Many have nothing but the clothes on their backs. This is the reality of the US fake claim to be spreading freedom and democracy … Jim W. Dean ]

The Syrian Army continues its military operation in the Eastern Ghouta suburbs of Damascus, where at least 70 percent of the territory has already been liberated from terrorists amid the ongoing evacuation of civilians.
A 15-minute video pertaining to the current situation in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta has been posted on the YouTube channel of Russia’s UN mission.
Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzia described the video as a “documentary in its true colors” which he said “depicts a real picture of what has taken place in these Damascus suburbs.”
“I hope that UN Security Council members will take the time to watch the film,” Nebenzya said.
The documentary specifically shows civilians leaving Eastern Ghouta via humanitarian corridors; the process is being assisted by the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the Warring Parties.
