I’ve never come across this amount of misinformation.” The Middle East, known geographically correct as West Asia, is fogged with years of propaganda and misinformation, lies told to us from within and out. And from just reading western media, the perspective of the region is wholly different than what’s really going on. But Sharmine Narwani, columnist at The Cradle, is actually there, interviewing people in Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, and more, discovering the real story of West Asia. And now she’s sharing her findings with Useful Idiots. She explains the truth about the war in Syria and the propaganda coming out of it, lamenting that “a picture is no longer worth a thousand words.” She shares the unreported stories of the women in Iran and the truth about hijab laws. And she reveals a truth about Israel that isn’t told by the protective US media: “Israel is being hit from all sides. It’s so deeply fractured from within.” It’s a chance to learn about a culturally-rich region, outside the veil of western propaganda. Watch the full interview with Sharmine Narwani on the US’s “no values” policy on dictators in the region, the truth about the morality police in Iran, and the lie of the US fight against ISIS in Syria. Plus, watch this week’s Thursday Throwdown about Aaron’s testimony at the United Nations: “Aaron Maté vs British Diplomat at UN.” And join the Absurd Arena live discussion board with Katie and Aaron every Tuesday at 12pm est in the Substack app. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello and welcome to Youth Flood Yates. I'm Aaron Natte. And I'm Katie Halfer. And as always,

0:17.0

content and you get to support us. Yes, you get not only do you get full extended interviews,

0:22.9

but you also get this great thing called Thursday Throw Down, which is where we react to

0:27.3

media. And it's a great time. And we talk about things that often the rest of the media ignores

0:34.0

or misses. Plus, this week we have a very special Thursday Throw Down feature where we talk to Aaron

0:40.9

Matte about testifying in front of the UN. That's right. Aaron Matte, I think the UN must have known

0:46.7

it was getting to the end of your birthday month. They're like, we've got to give this guy a present

0:51.5

and the best present for Aaron Matte is letting him testify about chemical weapons covered

0:57.0

up in Syria. So it is one of the best birthday presents. So we're going to be talking about that

1:02.4

and not only Aaron's testimony at the UN, but some haters. And we're going to respond to them.

1:08.8

Yes, we will. And before we get to that, let's get to our four basic food groups. What do we have for

1:13.7

Democrat suck? So for Democrat suck, let's turn to the Guardian where we have a very interesting

1:19.1

1:25.1

of position adopted after invasion of Ukraine sends men fleeing Putin's draft back to Russia.

1:32.1

So they've quietly, without much fanfare, obviously, resume deporting people to Russia. And they had

1:39.6

stopped after Russian invaded Ukraine. So they suspended these removals at that time. And people

1:47.5

are a little bit surprised because at the same time as the Biden administration is, of course,

1:53.1

talking about how dangerous Russia is, how dangerous Putin is, and how he's mobilizing citizens

2:00.5

to fight in Ukraine, they are forcing said citizens who are not in Russia back to Russia. And people

2:08.8

have already been deported. And they don't want to go back to Russia because they don't want to

2:14.0
