104 opposition rallies across Syria on Friday show revolution lives!

Tweet

There were at least 92 104 anti-Assad rallies across Syria on Friday. The popular Friday protests that launched the Syrian Revolution five years ago continue, in spite of the horrific violence they have been subjected to. As world powers, including the United States, seem more and more intent on shoving the criminal Assad regime down the people's throat, the voice of the Syrian people has been rendered almost silence in the world media and they are given almost no role in the debate about their country's future.

What has five years of ignoring the just demands of the Syrian people and turning our backs while Assad and his supporter resort to the mass murder of civilian to stay in power wrought? As many as half a million dead, the biggest refugee crisis since WWII, an EU being strained to the breaking point, the Islamic State terror and and in the United States, possibly the most reactionary and racist political campaign of the modern era.

I have a lot on my plate these days, including holding down a full time industrial job, but I realize that due to the criminal negligence of both the bourgeois and "Left" media, you probably won't hear anything about these rallies from other sources. You won't hear about them from Democracy Now, that's for sure!

Here are videos from a few of these rallies. I want to thank EA Worldview for collecting them.

You killed us,
Tortured us,
Starved us,
Displaced us,
And destroyed our homes,
But failed to kill our resolve #Syria pic.twitter.com/gnr0l1zbWe
