Alyssa Milano Makes Propaganda “Sex Tape” to Promote War in Syria
September 6th, 2013The White House has been beating the war drum lately in an effort to build support for a bombing campaign in Syria. The Obama administration alleges that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people, though this claim lacks proof, as many experts believe that the gas attack was perpetrated instead by the Al-Nusra rebels that are currently locked in a bloody civil war with the Syrian regime.
After the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, many liberty activists distributed memes depicting Miley Cyrus “twerking” on images related to the conflict in Syria as a way to call attention to Obama’s looming war. Hollywood star Alyssa Milano must have noticed one of these and decided to create her own satirical content to raise awareness. However, she put a pro-war spin on it by creating a fake sex tape video for Funny or Die, in which her foot “accidentally” kicks the camera around just before things get NSFW, displaying instead an also-fake news report promoting the Obama administration’s rationale for striking Syria.
Milano’s Sex Tape Video Portrays Disputed, Unproven Claims as Facts
While a side mirror shows Milano and her gentleman caller engaging in some type of noisy activity under the covers, the video shifts its focus to a news report that attributes Assad with setting off a recent chemical weapons attack, which others have blamed instead on the Al-Nusra rebels. UN chemical weapons investigators have also indicated that the rebels may have been responsible for the attack.
In the past, President Obama declared that the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime would constitute “crossing a red line,” a code word for a precondition for US intervention. In recent weeks, Bashar al-Assad’s regime scored a series of conventional military victories, backing the Al-Nusra led rebellion into a corner. As such, it makes little sense that the dictator would set off a chemical weapons attack in the suburbs of regime-controlled Damascus. Since Assad was in the process of winning with conventional military tactics, why would he set off a chemical weapons attack, thus drawing the US military into the conflict?
The Curious Case of the UN Investigators
When the chemical weapons attack went off in Damascus, a UN investigation team was already in town — Assad had invited them to investigate a prior chemical weapons attack, allegedly set off by the rebels. The Damascus attack happened a few blocks away from the UN investigators’ hotel. Does it make sense as a motive that Assad would invite chemical weapons investigators to Damascus prior to setting off a sarin gas attack in the same neighborhood?
Meanwhile, reports are coming in that the US government had advance knowledge that a chemical attack was imminent. Considering the fact that, , the US-based military industrial complex has been itching for a conflict with Syria for years, it could be possible that the sarin gas attack was in some way facilitated by the CIA, who are currently training Syrian rebels in Jordan. Also, the Al-Nusra rebels themselves stand to benefit from the chemical attack, as US involvement would surely tip the scales in favor of their violent revolution.
Whether or not the Assad regime is responsible for the attack, the United States has not been attacked by Syria and has no national security based justification for entering the conflict. The vast majority of Americans oppose launching a new war on Syria. The Obama administration does have at least one supporter, though: Alyssa Milano, who produced a fake sex tape to sell the administration’s fish tale about weapons of mass destruction.
