The reason is obvious. The Oligarchy doesn\u2019t want any sign of Sanders gaining momentum that could threaten Hillary\u2019s lead for the Democratic nomination. Here is FAIR\u2019s take on the media\u2019s ignoring of Sanders\u2019 victories:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fair.org\/home\/as-sanders-surges-cable-news-runs-prison-reality-show-jesus-documentary\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/fair.org\/home\/as-sanders-surges-cable-news-runs-prison-reality-show-jesus-documentary\/\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We can observe the same media non-performance in the foreign affairs arena. The Syrian army adided by the Russian air force just liberated Palmyra from ISIS troops that Washington sent to overthrow the Syrian government. Although pretending to be fighting ISIS, Washington and London are silent about this victory on what is supposed to be a common front against the terror group.<\/p>\n<p>It has been left to the\u00a0<em>Independent<\/em>\u00a0(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/voices\/why-is-david-cameron-so-silent-on-the-recapture-of-palmyra-from-the-clutches-of-isis-a6955406.html\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/voices\/why-is-david-cameron-so-silent-on-the-recapture-of-palmyra-from-the-clutches-of-isis-a6955406.html<\/a>),<em>\u00a0RT\u00a0<\/em>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/russia-questions-the-wests-silence-on-syrias-strategic-victory-against-isis-in-palmyra\/5517194\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/russia-questions-the-wests-silence-on-syrias-strategic-victory-against-isis-in-palmyra\/5517194<\/a>) and the Mayor of London to break the silence.<\/p>\n<p>What the Washington\/London silence on the victory tells me is that Washington still intends to unseat Assad. The most likely reason for Secretary of State Kerry\u2019s trips to Moscow is to try to work out a deal in which Washington accepts the defeat of ISIS in exchange for Moscow\u2019s acceptance of Assad\u2019s removal. The neoconservatives have not lost control of the Obama regime, and they remain committed to removing Assad for the benfit of Israel. Moscow wants to get along with Washington, and if Moscow is not careful about trusting Washington, Moscow will lose in diplomacy the war it has won.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I was stuck in front of Fox \u201cNews\u201d for some minutes on both sides of 1:00 PM US East Coast time.
