They Are Lying About Syria: Media Propaganda vs. The Truth | Graham Elwood An extended political commentary and live broadcast excerpt from the #Unity4J vigil hosted by Graham Elwood for The Political Vigilante, featuring CIA whistleblower Ray McGovern and activist Suzie Dawson. Graham examines mainstream media narratives and corporate establishment outrage surrounding proposed U.S. troop withdrawals from Syria, contrasting the reaction with anti-war perspectives from Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK. The panel connects establishment war consensus to ongoing government censorship and persecution of whistleblowers and journalists like Julian Assange, while Suzie Dawson reflects on the milestones of the #Unity4J movement and sustainability in activism. ============================================================ ▶️ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@GrahamElwoodOfficial?sub_confirmation=1 ============================================================ 🧊 See the Full Uncensored Investigation Here: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/grahamelwood Rokfin: https://rokfin.com/grahamelwood 📺 New Comedy Special "Manifest It" on Apple TV: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/graham-elwood-manifest-it/umc.cmc.65wuzkrazdqspd2pu240x5chp 🤝 Support the Channel (We are demonetised!): 💳 Donate: https://www.grahamelwood.com/#support 💸 Venmo: https://venmo.com/graham-elwood 👑 Join YouTube Members: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX1rle36wIlP9ry8uidnCsA/join 👕 Merch: https://www.grahamelwood.com/shop/ 🪙 Crypto Support & Affiliates: 🟠 BTC: qzx00qv3cz8xur9ujyewgda3hnc03perpqp2rz7043 🔑 BTC (Alt): 3BWaUfZ3M57KaoWVpxpbKmMEyy9Ybw8vQV 🔷 ETH: 0xD970059f6c57B4f707E778Ba19d6586039b0BD0F 🦢 SwanBitcoin: SwanBitcoin.com/grahamelwood (We both get $10.) 💳 Crypto.com: https://referral.crypto.com/signup?_branch_match_id=766078563177305504 (We both get $25.) ============================================================ 📱 Connect & Listen: 🌐 Website: http://www.grahamelwood.com 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GrahamElwoodComedy/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grahamelwood 🐦 X/Twitter: https://x.com/grahamelwood 🎤 Live Tour Tickets: www.grahamelwood.com 🎧 Podcast: https://www.grahamelwood.com/#podcasts ========================================== 📚 Sources & Further Reading: 1.
