    Guys:

    When you see a video pulling at your heart strings, you are being played. For a more logical and rational explanation you might want to see what really happened.

    THEY HAVE NO PROOF: MIT PROFESSOR EXPLAINS WHY THE ASSAD GAS ATTACK WAS A SHAM

    http://govtslaves.info/they-have-no-proof-mit-professor-explains-why-the-assad-gas-attack-was-a-sham/

    To give credit to the video above you have to believe that
    1. The US belongs on the side of ISIS
    2. Assad would attach civilians with gas when he could have attacked the terrorists who are attempting overthrow him
    3. Assad would deliberately do the one thing that might drag the US into direct conflict with him when he was winning the war and most of all
    4. The US never lies

    I agree with Mr. Moriarty to some extent.
    We have an example of one side said X and the other side said Y, but neither is proven.
    The logic seems to imply that the other (Russian) point of view may be more probable.
    But NEITHER SIDE IS YET PROVEN, beyond reasonable doubt.
    In the cloud of war we may never know the real truth.
    Certainly the “claim” of US military intelligence of trust us, we really know, holds little water unless and until it actually produces real evidence.
    I am fairly confident they got the airfield correct from which Syrian bombers took off, but I am less positive the US knew the actual ordinance loaded. Was it chemical weaponry, or was it conventional bombs which hit a rebel munitions dump which contained chemicals; the difference is important and, to my mind, simply yet unproven.

      I agree with your logic, CFS, though I think the odds highly favor the US lying.

          Apr 18, 2017 18:01 PM

          1) No good motive to do it on part of Syria or Russia. ‘To test us’ — well, one can always come up with a pretext.

          2) All we have gotten from the US is lies for many, many years where war is concerned. From the USS Maine, to the Lusitania, to Pearl Harbor and the use of the atom bomb, to Gulf of Tonkin, Rambouillet, Iraq WMD, Libya, Ukraine. Why believe this?

          3) The real motive of all these wars is clear. They are wars fought for the Zionists. And they will never be content until they have broken Syria and Iran, which are among the few countries they don’t yet control.

      Apr 18, 2017 18:46 PM

      Thanks for the “proven” comment, Professor.

      For all the reasons I have stated over and over in this case my moral values tell me that I am correct until proven otherwise.

      I refuse to get angry just because some folks disagree with me. So far the reasons I have cannot be proven as cannot those of the other side.

      This is not an issue of who is smarter than whom.

    Good work Robert. I am utterly amazed how often Americans are fooled by this countries leaders lying and blundering through countless wars. I think its time for all Americans to say NO to all of our military adventures.

            I believe that you misunderstood me JohnK. Death is an absolute event and killing noncombatants is, of course, morally wrong.

      I’m flabbergasted by the notion this was a moral statement.

      The US has contaminated multiple countries with depleted uranium, littered countries with cluster bombs and land mines that kill and maim children to this day, apparently used white phosphorous on Fallujah, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children through starvation and illness….

      Yet we’re making a moral statement? I have to believe the vast majority of the world would scoff in derision at the notion.

          Notice the following video is Condalesa Rice. C. Rice credits Madeline Albrights father Joseph Korbel as sparking her interest in International Politics,she told me so on the Golf channel last night.The David Fehrety show. While Condalesa did say that she was glad to see Saddam gone, there was no mention of the innocent women and children that were killed in the process.

        The U.S. has simply stated that chemical weapons will not be condoned.

        When we saved France; Germany; and, the rest of the world did folks complain about that? No, because it was not in vogue back then and, in this case more importantly, it did not sell subscription.

        Any idea what our stats would do if I capitulated and completely agree in this case. Please remember my actions and thoughts, a matter of public record, during the last three administrations.

        Don’t get me wrong GH this is not a comment on you or your character as I do respect you and your opinions.

          Apr 18, 2017 18:07 PM

          Nobody condones murder either. Does that mean you throw a suspected murderer in jail without a trial or offering any evidence?

          If a prosecutor said that somebody was guilty should you accept it at face value and throw the suspect in jail or should you have a reasoned look at it and go to trial?

          The bottom line is that before the US goes to war, it should go to congress first.

            The usual suspects–Zionists, Ivy league blue-bloods, European aristocrats.

            The questions I’m asking myself. What actually caused WWI? The explanation that the assassination of the Archduke simply escalated is pretty thin gruel. Is it true that in 1916 the British were faced with defeat and the Zionists offered to bring the US into the war in exchange for Palestine? We know they got the Balfour Declaration not long after that. Why was such an injust treaty created at Versailles, punishing the Germans as if it were all their fault, planting the seeds for more war? What if it’s true that western bankers funded the Bolsheviks? What if the Bolsheviks, who murdered tens of millions of Russians (Christians), were overwhelmingly Jews, as some say? What if the same western bankers funded both Hitler and Stalin in WWII, as we know the neo-con dominated US backed both Iraq and Iran in their 1980s war? Was Hitler what we are told, or was he a dupe or a plant for a devious agenda? Where do Putin’s true allegiances lie–with the Russian people, or Zionist bankers?

            I’m not taking a firm position on these questions–I’m studying them. Nothing can be taken for granted in a world where Zionists have made free speech illegal in Europe, control most of the world’s media, and most of the world’s banks.

            I’d be a criminal in Europe just for making this post, from what French and German friends have told me.

            GH
            Apr 19, 2017 19:27 AM

            A friend saw these posts, and thinks I’m in danger of coming off as a bigoted racist.

            So let me be clear–I am talking about a small group–bankers, captains of certain industries…a mafia, illuminati, call them what you will. I tend to refer to Zionists, and I certainly don’t agree with their project. But I don’t think that term quite captures it either, as most of them are probably just dupes as well. There is gross over-representation of one ethnic group among them, but they are certainly not just from one ethnic group. And the larger ethnic group to which they belong is not guilty of their crimes.

            I wish there were a better term by which to refer to them….illuminati? Sounds nutty, and who are we talking about…bankers doesn’t do it either…

            To put it in less tortured language, in spite of the PC police: certainly not all the criminals involved in the conspiracy to which I refer are Jews, and most Jews are not involved. Thank god that many wonderful Jews speak out so we get a better understanding of what is going on. When one starts digging into this kind of information, e.g. watching videos on youtube, the ignorant and hateful comments below the videos are most discouraging. Condemning all for the crimes of some is a horrible crime in itself.

            I hope that clears that up.

            Keep looking into stuff GH.

            I think ww 2 is the perfect example of what needs to be done, no not rounding people up but getting rid of the bankers.

            Obviously some people know that, but just how quickly germany became so powerful from the depths of despair is unreal.

            I dont believe we understand how suppressed and controlled we are.

            Interesting its against the law to even discuss it isnt it?

            Is your friend the same guy that thinks Bob M is a bigoted racest?
            Add me to the list too, funny thing, I dont have a prejudice bone in my body.

            Think about how your friend instantly thinks, what he is doing is reacting, he isnt actually thinking.

            Truth is opposing belief, not reason.

            Apr 19, 2017 19:44 AM

            Al:

            Candidate Trump had one set of values, President Trump has an entirely different set of values. If you look at what he said he was going to do as opposed to what he has actually done, you have to start thinking someone has something on him and he’s being blackmailed. He supports an entirely different agenda now than he did prior to the election.

            Some of what he is doing has almost become a farce. He was going to threaten NK with an armada ready to pounce only it was steaming the opposite direction. He drops a multimillion dollar MOAB on a cave complex the CIA built when one B-52 could have dropped twice the ordinance. He aligns himself with ISIS and attacks an Assad air field with no evidence or even logic to support his position.

            I am on record as saying he would either be the best president in history or the worst. And while he’s not nearly as crooked as HC, he’s as big a liar as she.

            As far as being different than prior administrations, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, there is a fair chance it is a duck.

            Thanks for your support, guys.

            b, very important point you make:

            “I dont believe we understand how suppressed and controlled we are.”

            The same mafia is behind our hugely dysfunctional medical system–vaccines, over-medication, neglect of nutrition, and over-charging. They’re behind Monsanto etc, thus poisoning our soils and us. They’re behind the epidemic of chronic degenerative disease.

            In Latin America, when one sneezes three times, first it is ‘Salud’, then ‘Dinero’, then ‘Amor’ — health, money, love.

            They’ve poisoned our health. They’ve robbed us blind. So of course our ‘brotherly love’, as well as our family life, is severely frayed as well.

            We can do so much better.

          Apr 19, 2017 19:16 AM

          If the US is against chemical weapons, they should not have supplied them to Iraq and ISIS.

          You need not listen to any of what the US says to determine the truth, you can observe their actions.

          It’s just my opinion but I personally feel that DU is far more evil of a weapon than other chemical weapons. There is only a marginal increase in value as a weapon to use DU instead of lead or titanium in bullets but the aftereffects are terrible. I think it’s the worst of chemical weapons. Dying of exposure to DU is a terrible and lingering death.

    Bob Moriarity provides a reasoned alternative. This could well be a false flag to inflame American moral sympathy. Either Assad is very stupid, or he was floating an attempt to see US reaction prior to more widespread use of WMD, or this is a false flag from the rebel “friends” of the US.

    Al, you are tying yourself into a pretzel on this. You have put yourself in the position that Assad is responsible for this “gas attack” either directly or indirectly without any proof. You cite you source McKinney or what ever his name is, because of all his credentials as an authority when he has not seen the site or even been anywhere near the site. His assertions are second and third hand at best (and I am being tactful here). I don’t care if he has a PHD from Jesus Christ University.
    You don’t KNOW, he doesn’t KNOW and furthermore the track record of out and out lies regarding this type of accusation should have given you a healthy dose of skepticism or at least some “watchful waiting”.
    I understand that you want to believe the best of Trump’s actions. But I will put out my opinion here: He was played and played skillfully OR He has been put into a position where he has to act this way for whatever reason. So it breaks down to this and I know you won’t like this: He is either stupid, a patsy or crooked.
    Sorry, I had hopes that Trump had a vision. But I’ve come to the conclusion that he has delusions of competence in an area that he is totally not acquainted with even the basic rudimentary rules of the game and it is a dirty, dirty game. I’ve very, very peripherally had some experience with this type of situation and come to the conclusion: The only winning move is not to play.

    Al, you’re in a credibility trap. It leaves very few satisfactory options. Drink heavily. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Personally, I think it’s best if Al maintains his stance regardless. 1) It’s good for stimulating debate and sharing of information. 2) If he were to start talking like some of us, KER would be in the cross-hairs of the dark powers even more than it likely already is just for hosting discussions like these.

    Keep up the good work, Al. You have my best regards.

    Here is article from the WSJ:

    “Removal of Chemical Weapons From Syria Is Completed
    Chemicals Will Be Destroyed Aboard a U.S. Ship
    By Naftali Bendavid
    Updated June 23, 2014 1:39 p.m. ET
    All the dangerous substances from Syria’s chemical weapons program, including sulfur mustard and precursors of sarin, have now been removed from the country after a monthslong process, a Hague-based watchdog agency said Monday.

    The announcement marks a diplomatic and logistical milestone. Never before has a country’s entire chemical arsenal been removed from its borders, and now the most lethal chemicals are set to be destroyed…

    Note it says PRECURSORS (main ingredients) of Sarin and not Sarin. Not that someone might not store the completed sarin product but as a chemistry researcher in the past I would understand that Sarin has less shelf life than its precursors and it is likely to be far more dangerous to store.

    One thing that gets me is the guy squatting in jeans and a T shirt in the impact crater of the alleged site of the attaak not many days after it occurred. Either these people are very inexperienced and reckless or there was not much poison in the vicinity. It could all have blown away but sarin has a boiling point of 159C so residues could easily have still been there. This makes me doubt that the impact site is where the US says it was. How do they know? I’m unconvinced be the US strory or any of the rebuttals.
