    Al: I share your frustration in the search for the truth. Here’s some interesting reading on the first strike that trump made on Syria a year ago: https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article165905578/Trump-s-Red-Line.html

    Apr 19, 2018 19:59 PM

    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

    So I understand you saying that you want to listen to both sides of the story. But Al, this is past the point of ridiculous. The “other side of the story” people have lied to us over and over again. Furthermore, they often are screaming (some quite literally) that we have to “do something”. Excuse me if I am no longer willing to listen to this “other side of the story” by people who have out and out lied to me. They don’t have my respect. They have to EARN it back and they don’t care to even try.

    Regarding Syria: Some various lunatic leaders, suddenly make accusations (when they know sweet bugger all) and launch such smart and shiny missiles because they saw some BS on facebook.

    And if anybody has any “super secret” evidence, I say Put UP or Shut UP.

      JohnM,

      I am a bit confused, are you saying that the latest accusation of poison gas usage in Syria is false.

      I just did the research and here is what I came up with:

      International chemical weapons inspectors were due to start work on Wednesday examining the site of a poison gas attack the Syrian town of Douma pending a UN security check, Syria’s envoy to the UN said.

      The ambassador, Bashar Jaafari, said UN security officers entered Douma at 3pm on Tuesday “in order to access the security situation on the ground” and if they deemed it safe, the work of inspecting the scene for evidence of chemical weapons use could begin on Wednesday.

      The expected arrival of the fact-finding mission from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) followed several days of delay and accusations that the Syrian regime and Russia were stalling.

      The OPCW’s headquarters in The Hague said it did not comment on operational matters in order to protect the security of its staff.

      The attack last week, which killed at least 40 people, led the US, the UK and France to on Saturday against three targets in Syria, which the three powers said were designed to degrade the remaining chemical weapons facilities of Bashar al-Assad’s government.

      The French president, Emmanuel Macron, said on Tuesday that the strikes on Syria had been carried out “for the honour of the international community”. France’s foreign ministry also said it was very likely that proof had disappeared from Douma, adding it was essential that the inspectors be given full access to the site.

        Robert Fisk: “How could it be that Douma refugees who had reached camps in Turkey were already describing a gas attack which no-one in Douma today seemed to recall?”

        Bigger picture, Israel Shamir puts the matter in reasonable perspective.

        http://www.unz.com/ishamir/first-joust/

        I still cannot support attacking a country with missiles prior to making a sound, evidence-based case (much less a highly dubious case presented by known serial liars), but fortunately Trump settled for a face-saving move.

        I think it’s time to look into the trustworthiness of the OPCW. Most institutions are corrupted by the warmongers.

        Note the references to the White Helmets in the Fisk article. Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley have both made the case that the White Helmets are affiliated with the terrorists, and Fisk’s account offers further support to that view.

          Apr 20, 2018 20:57 AM

          Thanks much for your response, GH.

          I believe that I now understand you opinion.

          I do appreciate your comment and the comments of all of the other folks.

            Apr 20, 2018 20:17 AM

            Al:

            You and all of the supporters of the attack are forgetting one tiny detail. The attack was “The Supreme Crime” and was illegal according to US law, according to UK law and a breech of international law. Congress wasn’t notified or consulted, the Parliament wasn’t consulted and the UN wasn’t consulted. Why is it that when you talk to the supporters, you don’t follow up.

            It was an illegal attack on a false flag operation that a totally independent reporter said never took place. People died but they died from the smoke and dust and you know we don’t give a damn about that.

            Apr 20, 2018 20:27 AM

            And again Bob, thank you for voicing your opinion.

    It would help if you knew the law.

    Even though the law is open, to some extent, to “interpretation”, there are facts that are not.
    Some of us have attention and memories that out-live the lifespan of a flea.
    The repeated evidence so many, many times indicates beyond any shadow of doubt that Hillary is an unindicted crook.

      Apr 19, 2018 19:00 PM

      Yeh, but what is your opinion on the lack of poison gas usage or the use of poison gas. Please respond to this, CFS..

      Thanks, Al

        b, I believe half of your list is pure bullshit.

        I am glad the US will act as world police, especially when it stops defenseless countries being overrun by bullies.
        Is the US self-serving ? Unfortunately, yes, at times.
        Do US leaders make mistakes? Unfortunately, quite often.

        But do you really think the world would be better without US military actions?

        Europe would be speaking German , and the rest of the world would be controlled by Communist dictators.

          Apr 19, 2018 19:19 PM

          cfs, actually I thought there were a couple things on that list that would require investigation.
          Such as “won with japan” 1937
          allied in first war but opposed to the invasion of china so I dont understand that one.

          But if my memory is any where near reliable I recall reading about just about all of it over the years.

          Feel fee to point out whats not true, I would be interested to know.

            Apr 19, 2018 19:25 PM

            Do I think the world would be better without US invasions/actions?
            Yes I do.
            On the other hand, when you look at history, there is always an evil empire, and maybe the evil one is just the one that wins.

            We have been killing ourselves at least from the egyptians and hitittes.
            Before that, if ya think the world began more than 5 thousand years ago.
            Might just be a human thing.

            I studied the Panama Canal history a longtime ago, but if I recall Panama tried to secede from Columbia that controlled Columbia, Panama and Ecuador at that time.
            Chile seeing an opportunity came up and grabbed Panama City.
            The US 1902 “invasion of Panama” consisted of the US sending a gunboat and kicking Chile out of Panama City. Panama gained its independence and allowed the French and Americans to build the Panama Canal, which financed the paying off of Columbian debt owed by the Panamanians to Columbia.

            Many actions on your list were actions of groups of oppressed people or countries seeking independence, which sought the aid of the U.S. in obtaining their freedom, as opposed to real acts of aggression by the U.S.

            There is increasing evidence of at least one “forgotten” or unknown period of human “civilization.
            The human brain clearly expanded about 60,000 years ago.
            (Denisovans in Siberia)

            Modern humans, possibly, if not probably did NOT come out of Africa.

            There was clearly a flourishing Civilization in the Middle East (including Turkey) prior to the “flood” which occurred about 12,000 years ago.
            There was an Australasia “civilization existing 20-30,000 years ago. (Just how advanced this was, we don’t really know yet. I’m talking of Gonung Pedang and other civilizations (possibly Atlantis) under the current sea level.
            There are too many odd anomalies being discovered to believe we know the full history of humans on earth.

          Europe speaking German. Pshaw. There wouldn’t have been WW2 if the Zionists didn’t drag the USA into WW1 in return for the Balfour Declaration, making the injust treaty of Versailles possible.

          You do know, CFS, that Zionist Jacob Schiff, a Wall Street banker, funded the Bolsheviks?

          What do you think of Perloff’s argument here?

          https://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/history/item/4691-china-betrayed-into-communism

          You’ve fallen for the fake history, CFS.

          Note, for instance, that the US negotiator at Bretton Woods, Harry Dexter White, was a communist. As was FDRs companion at Yalta, Hiss. The US is far down the road to communism already, and the would-be dictators are in plain sight.

            Apr 19, 2018 19:54 PM

            Considering that I have a lot of respect for you, b, I probably won’t. Some people just really piss me off!

            Common, GH, the Jews played a role in the rise of Hitler. (which is what you are inferring) That i one of the stupidest things that I have ever heard in my entire life!

            b
            Apr 19, 2018 19:04 PM

            Its not stupid Al, the Jews themselves have been/are victims of the Zionists.

            Remember the transfer agreement or Haavara Agreement.

            Have you ever listened to the Benjamin Freedman 1961 speech Al?

            A lot of history isn’t what we have been taught.

            And of course they had a role in the rise of Hitler. Look at the Jewish boycott of Germany in 1933, and the Jewish assassination of diplomat Ernst von Rath.

            https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbuelahman.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F04%2Fjudea_declares_war_on_germany.jpg%3Fw%3D750%26h%3D539&f=1

            To say they had a role in Hitler’s rise is not to justify what was done, whatever the truth of THAT may be.

            Funny thing, Al. Those who control the mass media write the history, and it turns out they haven’t been very honest.

            “You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.”

            I just came across this book today, written by a famous Jew, on the topic. I haven’t read it yet, but it seems to be highly rated. Not available on Amazon.com, by the way.

            Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil
            by Gerard Menuhin
            4.48 · Rating details · 23 Ratings · 3 Reviews

            Have you ever asked yourself why the world won’t come to rest? Why your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents had to die in wars that never should have occurred in the first place? This book holds the answer . . .

            Behind the scenes, events are controlled by a coterie of ethnic puppetmasters who work their marionettes in high places out of public view. How did this world get to the dark place it is today? Who could have stopped it and what can we do today?

            The book consists of three sections. The first section concerns Adolf Hitler, and the real causes leading up to the outbreak of WWII.

            The second section enlarges on the activities of the real culprits, provides a historical overview of their progress, their nature, their power over finance and the media, and the methods by which they achieved it.

            The third section concerns the First and Second World Wars (what the author refers to as “the Second Thirty Years War”), their conception, funding and inescapable continuity; current laws against freedom of expression, and the evolution of the Orwellian state; the importance of U.S. support for the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War, and Communism’s significance in the plan; the true origins of the enemy; Palestine’s occupation and its fate as an example of our common fate; plus much more.

            The text is interspersed with “Memos from Today,” that emphasize its relevance by citing current events.

            Hundreds of quotes are included from a wide range of authoritative sources, original and translated. The last pages of this manuscript comprise conclusions and predictions.

            The author is the son of the great American-born violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who, though from a long line of rabbinical ancestors, fiercely criticized the foreign policy of the state of Israel and its repression of the Palestinians in the Holy Land.

            Being a product of public education, I cannot disagree with you Matthew. The only difference is that I do read a lot (admittedly some of it is probably slanted) and I do talk with a lot of people. I also have an open mind.

            Me too, Al. It was actually a good education in science, math, english lit. But history, economics, politics? Criminal.

            I’ve spent 23 years digging myself out through study. I try to remind myself how important it is to be patient with others, because we have all been subjected to this.

            I believe Jews are subjected even more powerful brainwashing than the rest of us. See Yoav Shamir’s ‘Defamation’

    I believe chlorine was used, not sarin. I await the report of the OPCW, however.
    If Sarin was used, it will show up. Detection level sensitivity is incredibly good.

    As to who used the chlorine, I do not know.
    Logic would indicate it was probably not Assad forces.
    It is highly probable, I believe, a stray bomb or shell hit some storage quantity.

    Was Trump right or wrong in attacking?
    That is a multi-million dollar question!

    It was good it was a joint attack, US-UK-France, if there had to be an attack.
    It showed US resolve to follow through after placing a red line, which will deter future action by Russia.
    (However, it could trigger false action by rebels.)

    Overall, I don’t believe Trump will act precipitously if/when any future chemicals are used.
    I believe the Russians will try hard to produce evidence of what actually happened, and move heaven and earth to verify the cause of any future problem.

    The attack appeared to demonstrate that Trump and Russia can communicate with each other and prevent future problems…..although there is a small possibility Russia will seek revenge. I hope not, especially as no Russian was killed, and the Russian port of Tartus was not attacked in any way. Russia will probably be happy with cyber-skirmishing.

    Neither the US, nor the Russians needed to display use of full capability.
    The Russian capability of electronic blocking is still unknown.

    Although Mr. Moriarty will disagree, I see Iran much more of a problem than Syria.

    I would prefer to let Israel handle Syria and not get the US involved. There is evidence that Israel has been attacking Iranian troops and positions in Syria. (e.g. mysterious explosions at Iranian arms stockpiles in Syria at night. It is clear Israel is very concerned about the presence of Iranians so close.

      Apr 19, 2018 19:27 PM

      Israel’s *published* expansionist ambition guarantees Iran’s support of Syria and Lebanon in self-defense, because they know/believe they are the next target after those two.

      If Israel enters Syria in a more obvious way, that is war with Iran as well, which Israel will only do if they know the US will get involved

            If it currently exists, how will it work?
            Because it is clear, within a couple of generations, Muslims will be beginning to control most of Europe, and it’s production and military power.

    As far as I believe, the US presence in Syria has little to do with Israel, but is intended to destroy ISIS.
    Trump has said he will withdraw US from Syria, once ISIS is defeated. We will see if that happens. I don’t know if it will, since I don’t often trust the word of any politician, I observe.

    I believe Obama, as a Muslim-leaning traitor to the US, did not go into Syria to help Israel, but to impede Russian attacks on ISIS.

          I guess, Al. But is that all? I can come up with multiple hypotheses.

          If various groups colluded in allowing ISIS to finance itself while we were supposedly fighting them, shouldn’t that make us all stop, take notice, and get to the very bottom of the matter? But we don’t.

          If there is treason involved, and we don’t investigate it, and no one is punished, have the American people lost, or won? Is their situation getting better or worse?

          Why does our media blitz us with OJ, or Monica, Martha Stewart, or Trayvon, but not about apparent treason? Must there not be complicity in the mass media?

      Apr 20, 2018 20:09 PM

      CFS:

      The US Special Forces were training and equipping ISIS in Jordan. My nephew was part of it. If ISIS was ever the enemy there wouldn’t be 30 mile long convoys of crude being driven into Turkey. In 1968-1970 I would have begged for a target like that. It took the Russians a few aircraft runs to stop that in a hurry.

            I am searching diligently in an attempt to come to some reasonable conclusion about “fake news”. Gleb discussed more of an ideal situation and unfortunately I don’t think that we are even close to making a determination because of the sophistication of the distribution of “fake news”

    I apologize for getting over-emotional last week. I’m not sure if you saw my subsequent posts explaining my view. But it’s not that I think you advocate war, Al.

    It is simply that the record couldn’t be clearer that the MIC regularly presents us with unbelievable stories, like those of Skripal and Douma, to justify more military action.
