US official: 50,000 Islamic State killed in wars to date, AP, Dec 9 2016
WASHINGTON — A senior US military official for the first time says the US-led coalition has killed 50,000 Islamic State militants in the last two years in Iraq and Syria.The official said it was a conservative estimate, but it’s a bit more than what others have stated before.
CIA: ISIS has 20,000 to 31,500 fighters, The Hills, Sep 11 2014
The CIA estimates the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is made up of anywhere between 20,000-31,500 fighters, according to reports Thursday night.The agency previously put the number at 10,000 but revised it upward after stronger recruitment since June, according to CIA spokesman Ryan Trapani, who was quoted in The Associated Press.
While ISIS forces come to existence seemingly out of nowhere only to get killed by the U.S. military, civilians in east-Aleppo vanish into the nowhere whenever the Syrian government forces take new areas.
UN diplomat offers to personally escort 900 al-Qaeda fighters out of Aleppo in hope of ending bombing, Telegraph, Oct 6 2016
Speaking in Geneva [UN envoy Staffan de Mistura] said that around 900 members of al-Nusra were still in Aleppo and he asked the jihadists to “look at my eyes” and decide if they were prepared to stay in the city even if it meant more casualties among the 275,000 civilians in the area.“A thousand of you are deciding on the destiny of 275,000 civilians,” he said. “If you did decide to leave [Aleppo] with dignity and with your weapons, to Idlib or anywhere you wanted to go, I personally am ready physically to accompany you.”
Rebels defiant as Syrian army nears Aleppo’s Old City, Reuters, Dec 4 2016
The U.N. estimates that close to 30,000 people have been displaced by the latest fighting, 18,000 to government-held areas, a further 8,500 to the Kurdish-controlled neighborhood of Sheikh Maqsoud and the rest within rebel-held areas.U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura has said more than 100,000 people may still be in the rebel-held area.
The opposition Aleppo council claims that there are 150,000 left in the “rebel”-held area. Official UN refugee numbers say that some 26,500 fled from east-Aleppo to the government controlled areas. Another 8-9,000 fled yesterday and today. The Takfiri held areas have shrunk to some 4% of their original extension in east Aleppo. If the original Mistura numbers were correct those must by now be the most densely inhabited area of the world.
But somehow those numbers are now inoperative.
275,000 civilians – 35,000 refugees = 240,000. But there are only 100,000 to 150,000 left in east-Aleppo? Where are the 90,000-140,000 people missing from those numbers? Where did they go?
Equally false numbers were used by the UN and other with regard to Mardaya and Daraya.
Here are more officially faked news and numbers:
IDF map of Hezbollah positions revealed as fabrication, Times of Israel, Dec 9 2016
A map of southern Lebanon released this week by the Israeli military that ostensibly showed Hezbollah positions, infrastructure and armaments along a section of the Israeli border was a fabrication, the army admitted Thursday.The map, tweeted by the army Tuesday, appeared to feature over 200 towns and villages, which the IDF said the organization had turned into its operations bases, along with over 10,000 potential targets for Israeli strikes in the event of a new war with the terror group.
…
According to a Channel 2 report Tuesday, the illustrative map has been shown to practically every foreign diplomat visiting Israel …
The IDF spokesperson posted the map with the remark: “This is a war crime”. But the map is fake and as it claims that Hizbullah positions are near villages and cities it was a though up as cover for the future IDF war crime of bombing those build up areas.
In reality Hizbullah takes special care to position its missile forces away from any settlements.
More uncovering of official fake news just from today’s feed:
British Govt-Funded Outlet Offered Journalist $17,000 a Month to Produce Propaganda for Syrian Rebelsand The incredible story behind the Syrian protest singer everyone thought was dead.
The BBC, CNN, Guardian, Telegraph, AP and others had reported that the “regime” had brutally murdered the “protest singer”. Even some corpse was shown but that had been murdered and brutalized by the “rebels”. The singer is alive and living in Spain.
The above numbers and stories are real fake news used as instrument of western governments and allegedly neutral international organizations. Unlike the inconvenient news spread by this and other “propaganda” sites they are depicted as truthful by mainstream media even when they are lies. Only by chance will they later be exposed.
I doubt that people will, over time, continue to fall for such nonsense. Information availability has increased. The people can get better informed with only little effort. The continued use of such false numbers and facts will lead to further deterioration of the trustworthiness of mainstream news and government institutions. In consequence the people will look, and vote, for outsiders to govern them. Radicals on the right of the political spectrum will gain more from this trend than the dispersed forces on the left.
Those predictable consequence may be consistent with a general political plan.
