what this week's Mainstream Media failed to mention about ISIS -

While watching TV on Wednesday, to hear again and again the stories of Iraqi people's internal organs being sold by ISIL/ISIS for profit for their war efforts, I received the following information in my email account.

Apparently there has been a major push by the United Nations to have a truce come about inside Syria, but that truce would only benefit ISIL/ISIS?

THE UN looking for truce to help out ISIS?
Interesting account of what is really going on with Syria and ISIS. Even "as the Syrian military is poised to make such a monumental victory over the Western-backed jihadists, the United Nations has announced its plans for a ceasefire in and around Aleppo.

"The plan, spearheaded by UN envoy Steffan de Mistura has apparently been in the works for months – since about the time that the Syrian military began its encirclement operation around Aleppo.

"De Mistura’s plan would involve a six-week truce and the halting of aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of Aleppo in all quarters of the city. De Mistura claims that he received assurances from Syrian President Assad that the Syrian government is willing to participate in the truce.

"However, it is worth noting that the peace deal benefits only the death squad fighters funded by the West and operating on the ground inside the country, particularly those fighting inside Aleppo. For instance, the proposal seeks to end all aerial bombardment and artillery shelling of all quarters of the city – handcuffs that affect the Syrian military much more so than the death squads since the jihadists have no air force with which to bombard the city."
