Syria Chemical Weapons Attack: An Open Source Investigation

youtu.be/U-IUYyzoYgs
No sooner has the idea of a US withdrawal from Syria been floated than Assad launched a chemical weapons attack on the suburbs of Damascus…or so we are being asked to believe. But this is not the first time we have been lied to about chemical weapons claims. What is the evidence about this situation, and what are the latest developments with regard to the international response?

ZeroHedge have an update to their post about the apparent attack on the T4 airfield being reported on Syrian TV:

zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-08/massive-explosions-heard-above-syria-amid-reports-us-fighter-jets-cruise-missiles

Their update notes how the T4 airfield was specifically cited by “IDFSpokesperson” on Twitter as an operating base for Iran and the Quds Forces “with the backing of Syrian Forces.” Link to the tweet:

Israel weighs in:

Israeli officials: U.S. must strike in Syria

jpost.com/Middle-East/Israeli-officals-US-must-strike-in-Syria-549144

“The US must attack the Assad regime in Syria in response to the alleged chemical-weapons attack in Douma, which killed dozens of people, Strategic Affairs and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said on Sunday.”

(Note the subhead: “In a switch, Trump to keep troops in Syria for now”)

Extremely relevant memory-holed story from two weeks ago:

Terrorist capabilities laid bare in an Eastern Ghouta chemical lab

rt.com/op-ed/421515-ghouta-syria-chemical-weapons/

“This week, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) liberated some Eastern Ghouta farmlands between Shifouniyeh and Douma and discovered a well-equipped chemical laboratory run by Saudi-backed Islamist terrorists. Not a single Western reporter showed up to investigate the facility.”

Footage of weapons cache found in East Ghouta after defeat on Jaysh al Islam, note the gas canister labelled Salisbury (Porton Down): youtube.com/watch?v=fWs29QSxAqs&feature=share
Dilyana Gazandtzhieva has reported on this

The chief of Russia’s general staff predicted this very scenario less than one month ago:

US planning missile and bombing raid against Damascus — top brass
tass.com/world/993678

“Militants are preparing a provocation with the use of chemical agents in Syria to justify a massive US strike against Damascus’ government neighborhoods, Chief of Russia’s General Staff Valery Gerasimov said on Tuesday.”

Goes on to predict that after the US makes false accusations about the false flag they will bomb Damascus’ government district, where there are Russian military officials:

“in the event of a threat to our military servicemen’s lives, Russia’s Armed Forces will take retaliatory measures to target both the missiles and their delivery vehicles.”

This article from The Atlantic purports to tell us the logic behind Assad unleashing chemical weapons on the brink of total victory, but it doesn’t. If anyone can make heads or tails of this “he’s doing it to make Trump back down” hodgepodge I’m all ears.

Israel now being formally fingered as the culprit behind airbase attack in Homs:

news.antiwar.com/2018/04/08/israel-attacks-syrian-airbase-in-homs/

IDF will not comment on reports:

twitter.com/IsraelBreaking/status/983185678157733888

An open investigation like this can open the eyes of people who are still in that place of not knowing who the enemy is.

If you are above a certain age, and have traveled the world, then you will be able to see the enemy very clearly, even if you are unable to provide proof (you can certainly prove it if you consider who benefits and the trail of “results” they leave behind.)

So, I am at a position to really understand the games played by people in power behind the USA and European Elite and between the other side of the coin and the other side of the planet.

So, my question is. For those people who already know (let us call it Gut feel), that these powers are engaged in false flags all the times, and killing off people who speak out, and raping people in prisons (including USA and European prisons) and etc etc..

For people who already proved to themselves that these people are evil… Were do we go next….

I guess… I am asking for an open forum for the following:

“We know that “those powers” are engaged in killing, enslaving and raping us.. What should we do next???”

Personally. I knew who the enemy is, after my trip to Russia, Vietnam and China.

I don’t need further proofs that USA, Europe, and all the governments in the world will practice deceit (they have to survive). I want to start talking about “What can we do about this fact!)

Any advice or help from anyone is appreciated.

We all knew this was coming, it probably would have happened sooner but RT reporting that a false flag attack was going to be carried out a couple of weeks ago obviously stalled them a bit.

Few good articles:

SYRIA: The Egregious Western Media ‘Chemical Weapon’ Fraud in Eastern Ghouta – 21stcenturywire.com/2018/04/08/syria-the-egregious-western-media-chemical-weapon-fraud-in-eastern-ghouta/

>“The ‘Chemical Weapon’ narrative has sustained the conflict in Syria with alleged attacks being attributed almost entirely to the Syrian government, the Syrian Arab Army and Russia. The seven year information war has been ferocious with NATO-aligned media, think tanks and self appointed experts such as Eliot Higgins and Bellingcat doing all in their power to reinforce the “Syria did it” narrative.”

New Syrian Chemical Weapons Attack Being Reported By All The Usual Suspects – caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/04/08/early-reports-of-new-syrian-chemical-attack-by-all-the-usual-suspects/

>“So to be clear, we’re being asked by these people to believe that Bashar al-Assad launched a “mass casualty chemical attack”, the thing which would provoke the wrath of the US war machine, just as Trump was seeking a withdrawal from Syria and just as Assad was approaching victory in Douma. We are being asked to ignore the fact that the area is crawling with actual, literal terrorists, to ignore the western empire’s extensive history of using lies, propaganda and false flags to manufacture support for military aggression, to ignore the extremely suspicious western funding and terrorist ties of the White Helmets who are circulating these photos and information, and to ignore the fact that Syria has been a target of imperialist regime change for many years. We are being asked to ignore all that and believe instead that Assad spontaneously began acting against his own self-interest so that he could kill children for no discernible reason.

It says so much about the power of western media psyops that this has a strong chance of being believed.”

Moscow calls ‘chemical attack’ in Douma ‘fake news,’ warns against Syrian intervention – rt.com/news/423524-douma-chemical-attack-fake-moscow/

>“The Russian Foreign Ministry denounced the latest reports about a chemical attack that allegedly affected dozens of civilians in the militant-controlled town of Douma. It said the reports were another example of a “continuous series of fake news about the use of chlorine and other chemical agents by the government forces.””

Keep it bumped

Russia vs. Israel when

US State Department’s official response on the incident:

>“The Assad regime and its backers must be held accountable and any further attacks prevented immediately. Russia, with its unwavering support for the regime, ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks, targeting of countless civilians, and the suffocation of Syria’s most vulnerable communities with chemical weapons. By shielding its ally Syria, Russia has breached its commitments to the United Nations as a framework guarantor. It has betrayed the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council Resolution 2118. Russia’s protection of the Assad regime and failure to stop the use of chemical weapons in Syria calls into question its commitment to resolving the overall crisis and to larger non-proliferation priorities.”

state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2018/04/280313.htm

Russian Foreign Ministry response:

>“The spread of bogus stories about the use of chlorine and other poisonous substances by (Syrian) government forces continues. Yet another such fabricated piece of information about an alleged chemical attack in Douma appeared yesterday,” the ministry said in a statement.

>“We have warned several times recently against such dangerous provocations. The aim of such deceitful speculation, lacking any kind of grounding, is to shield terrorists … and to attempt to justify possible external uses of force.”

Good compendium of Graham, McCaul, and assorted other politicians calling for strike against Syria:

ibankcoin.com/flyblog/2018/04/08/graham-mccaul-call-military-strikes-syria-response-chlorine-attack/#sthash.tHY0U2pE.dpbs

There will be an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council today (April 9) to discuss the attack and response “called for by the United States, France, Britain, Sweden, Poland, the Netherlands, Kuwait, Peru, and Ivory Coast.”

Also, Trump and Macron have pledged a “strong, joint response” to the incident in an April 8 phone call.

rferl.org/a/syria-chemical-attack-syria-dozens-killed-russia/29152580.html

Russian Defense Ministry now officially blaming Israel for strike on T-4 airfield in Homs:

tass.com/world/998481

“On April 9, in the period between 3.25 a.m. and 3.53 a.m. Moscow Time two F-15 aircraft of Israel’s Air Force delivered a strike with eight guided missiles on the T-4 airfield without entering Syria’s airspace from Lebanon’s territory,” the ministry said.

The Syrian air defenses destroyed five guided missiles. Three missiles reached the western part of the airfield. No Russian advisers are among the casualties.

They found something that can be described as chemical facility. But then article continues:
“They had examined the blue and black canisters and discovered chlorine …”

Chlorine is a gas with boiling point at -30 degC. It cannot be stored in plastic canisters. Maybe some chlorine compound.
Lets say lousy reporting.

Apparently Nikki Haley has used the occasion of the UN Security Council emergency session to inform the world that Russian hands are “covered in the blood of Syrian children.”

edition.cnn.com/2018/04/09/politics/haley-un-russia-syria-attack/index.html

I get the point of this, but this whole “I beseech you, sir” stuff is so fundamentally sickening. We are still in the dark ages.

antiwar.com/blog/2018/04/09/an-appeal-to-james-mattis/

Don’t worry, everyone. The US “will respond” to this incident regardless of what the UN Security Council decides.
