RT caught up with its director to find out how trustworthy those sources are. Recently RT went to investigate what makes SOHR so popular with the mainstream media. Journalist and prankster Nimrod Kamer, who volunteered to help find out the answer, travelled to the Midlands to see the headquarters of the Observatory and speak to its director. Kamer had no luck catching Rami Abdulrahman at home, however. Calling him on the phone, he found out the man went out to a shop. The director of the Observatory sounded very distressed on the phone, talking about the dangers of meeting up for daytime interviews because they are trying to kill me.

But tracing the steps of the Syrian opposition was a big help. They got together for a conference in one of the Kazakh capital's lavish spots. The head of the SOHR also attended the conference, and, after a bit of wrangling, agreed to answer a couple of questions from RT. "We are under attack simply because we tell the truth what's going on in Syria. Apparently nobody wants to hear the truth," Abdulrahman told RTs Ilya Petrenko. The organization claims to have a wide network of contacts in the region who feed their information to the head office, where it is processed and then posted on the SOHR website, Facebook and Twitter accounts. RT asked Abdulrahman whether he personally knows "hundreds of people," as he himself puts it, working in Syria for SOHR, and whether he can really trust all of them. "I know all of the activists working for the SOHR," he replied. When RT wondered when the last time Abdulrahman actually went to Syria was, he said it was 15 years ago. "But I know some of the Observatory activists through common friends. This organization only takes new members following a six-month trial period and the candidate has to be familiar to someone from the organization or to a reliable outside contact," he said.

When I saw the news conference on the hospital bombing, with them "admitting" it was an "accident" I became enraged and was enraged all day. For the first time in my life, I felt a sense of disgust being an American. Then I got flashes of all the dollar cheap o stores, and all the CRAP out there nobody needs, the lies, I find it very difficult to enjoy much of anything. They have the hate so ramped up in contrast with continually hearing about Kardashians it's obviously intentional to drive people mad. These demons unleash and feed off this chaos. The entire world is ruled by a Dominant/Submissive, Sadomasochistic fetish, that's what it all comes down to. Some pervert uses us for a chess board game. |

(the Army loves it when it shows up to help them out). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7417733 I was in A10s for years, they are currently all overflown and on extensions. The airframe would literally need to be re-engineered with new engines. They have already rewinged them years ago. The airframe has withstood a lot of stress from the gun. The best solution would be to remake the bird - but that's not likely to happen. |
