False Flag in Syria Sets Stage for Wider War
The US rush to conflict attempts to sidestep any meaningful investigation into the attack, fitting a larger pattern of Washington and its allies using baseless chemical weapon allegations for wars of aggression stretching back to the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
US accusations and threats of war come at a pivotal moment in Syria’s now 7 year conflict in which the Syrian government has finally liberated all territory around the capital from foreign-sponsored militants.
Zero Evidence
To date, all supposed evidence comes from Western-funded militants and their auxiliaries including the US-European government-funded front, the so-called “Syria Civil Defense,” better known at the “White Helmets.” Unverified photographs and video of apparent victims have been the sole sources cited by the US.
The World Health Organization, in a recent statement attempting to bolster these accusations, claims that up to 500 patients appear to have been exposed to chemical poisoning, but would cite its “Health Cluster partners,” the Daily Beast would report.
However, according to WHO’s own website, these partners include Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), which in turn, according to MSF’s own website trains and supports the White Helmets. MSF has repeatedly admitted throughout the Syrian conflict that it does not have a presence on the ground in conflict areas and merely provides material support to groups that do.
The White Helmets have been repeatedly caught in the past fabricating evidence and staging scenes for propaganda value. In fact, all evidence suggests the entire purpose of the White Helmets is the production of propaganda.
This culminated in 2016 when the organization inadvertently revealed their theatrical methods during a protest in multiple European cities. They applied red paint and flour to their bodies and posed as victims for European media outlets and local bystanders. The scenes were indistinguishable from daily clips uploaded by White Helmet members allegedly carrying out emergency services in militant-held territory in Syria.
Absent from virtually all of their videos are scenes of actual injuries – open wounds, crushed or severed limbs, burns etc. Videos also lack any context, and are often heavily edited.
One Year Ago – Similar Lies
Previous allegations of the Khan Shaykhun chemical weapon attack the US cited in 2017 ahead of cruise missile strikes on Syria’s Shayrat Airbase, were also baseless.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons-United Nations Joint Investigative Mechanism (OPCW-UN JIM) report on the alleged attack would admit that no investigators even visited the scene of the attack.
The UN in a news article regarding the report would even claim (emphasis added):
Although it was too dangerous to visit Umm Hawh and Khan Shaykum, the panel considered that sufficient information had been gathered to come to a solid conclusion.
Evidence instead consisted of interviews with alleged witnesses and physical evidence passed to investigators from possible suspects – since even the report itself admitted the possibility of the incident being staged to implicate the Syrian government. The report itself would also cite an absence of a chain of custody for evidence it received, diminishing their probative value.
Normalizing military aggression based on allegations of chemical attacks in which onsite investigations are not conducted produces the perfect conditions to stage incidents and rush to war.
The US rush to war without even awaiting an incomplete and questionable investigation as carried out by the OPCW-UN JIM in 2017 – indicates that the United States is not interested in, and possibly even attempting to obstruct the truth.
Zero Motivation
Syria and Russia have been conducting security operations around Damascus with particular care, fully acknowledging the level of international scrutiny the Syrian conflict is under, including the conduct of the Syrian government and its allies.
Humanitarian corridors were opened to allow civilians to flee areas where fighting was taking place. Once defeated, remaining militants were even allowed to board buses and escape north to the Syrian-Turkish border.
Not only are the chemical weapons cited by the US ineffective relative to the conventional weapons Syria and its allies have in their possession, the use of chemical weapons in military operations against an all but defeated enemy – considering the political costs of doing so – would be inexplicable.
The US government and the Western media have resorted to assigning essentially cartoon villain motivations to the Syrian government in an effort to explain why – on the verge of victory in Syria – the Syrian government would risk justifying a long sought after US military intervention against Damascus itself.
The US is already illegally operating in and around Syrian territory. This includes the occupation of Syrian territory by US troops east of the Euphrates River. The US has already conducted multiple air strikes on Syrian government targets. In addition to the strike on Shayrat Airbase in 2017, US airpower has repeatedly attacked Syrian troops operating near US positions.
The Grand Finale
Making it even more inexplicable for Syria’s government to have deployed chemical weapons at this of all junctures – was the recent announcement by US President Donald Trump of interest in withdrawing US troops from Syria.
While some interpreted his announcement as genuine, and suggest the likely staged chemical attack in Douma, Syria was an attempt to draw the US back in, a much more likely scenario is that President Trump simply lied to provide the US with plausible deniability ahead of a premeditated chemical weapons incident the US itself planned.
US policy papers have provided the framework for just such a scheme.
In the 2009 Brookings Institution policy paper titled, “Which Path to Persia? Options for a New American Strategy Toward Iran” (PDF), everything from supporting terrorists in a proxy war to staged provocations and full-scale war were planned in excruciating detail.
Included among the US policy think-tank’s schemes was the description of a deception similar to the one likely playing out in Syria.
The paper would state (emphasis added):
…any military operation against Iran will likely be very unpopular around the world and require the proper international context—both to ensure the logistical support the operation would require and to minimize the blowback from it. The best way to minimize international opprobrium and maximize support (however, grudging or covert) is to strike only when there is a widespread conviction that the Iranians were given but then rejected a superb offer—one so good that only a regime determined to acquire nuclear weapons and acquire them for the wrong reasons would turn it down. Under those circumstances, the United States (or Israel) could portray its operations as taken in sorrow, not anger, and at least some in the international community would conclude that the Iranians “brought it on themselves” by refusing a very good deal.
For Syria, the “offer” was a US withdrawal and Damascus and its neighbors “given” the responsibility to humanely end the conflict and stabilize the region. The “rejection” inviting the US to intervene is the staged chemical attacks in Douma the US is now citing.
Regarding staged provocations, the Brookings paper mentions them as well, claiming (emphasis added):
...it would be far more preferable if the United States could cite an Iranian provocation as justification for the airstrikes before launching them. Clearly, the more outrageous, the more deadly, and the more unprovoked the Iranian action, the better off the United States would be. Of course, it would be very difficult for the United States to goad Iran into such a provocation without the rest of the world recognizing this game, which would then undermine it. (One method that would have some possibility of success would be to ratchet up covert regime change efforts in the hope that Tehran would retaliate overtly, or even semi-overtly, which could then be portrayed as an unprovoked act of Iranian aggression.)
Nothing could be more “outrageous” or “deadly” than using chemical weapons on civilians.
“The Israel Approach”
In the immediate aftermath of the alleged chemical attack in Douma, Syria, Israel launched missiles into Syrian territory, striking Tiyas (T4) Military Airbase.
The same Brookings policy paper would also make specific mention of how this tactic would fit into a wider strategy of drawing a nation further into direct war with the United States itself.
The paper would state that (emphasis added):
…the most salient advantage this option has over that of an American air campaign is the possibility that Israel alone would be blamed for the attack. If this proves true, then the United States might not have to deal with Iranian retaliation or the diplomatic backlash that would accompany an American military operation against Iran. It could allow Washington to have its cake (delay Iran’s acquisition of a nuclear weapon) and eat it, too (avoid undermining many other U.S. regional diplomatic initiatives).
The report also states (emphasis added):
It would presumably be easier to convince Israel to mount the attack than it would be to generate domestic political support for another war in the Middle East (let alone the diplomatic support from a region that is extremely wary of new American military adventures).
The same report would also state (emphasis added):
However, as noted in the previous chapter, the airstrikes themselves are really just the start of this policy. Again, the Iranians would doubtless rebuild their nuclear sites. They would probably retaliate against Israel, and they might retaliate against the United States, too (which might create a pretext for American airstrikes or even an invasion).
Clearly these options laid out for Iran in 2009 have been repeatedly used instead against Syria. Among this most recent and unprecedented juncture, these ploys are being used again, in rapid succession and ultimately toward US-led regime change.
The US – since the end of the Cold War – has established a unipolar international order that serves the interests of US corporations and financial institutions and those of Washington’s allies. In a bid to preserve its primacy, the US has pursued a policy of encircling and containing potential competitors – most notably Russia and China. It has done this through economic pressure, covert regime change, overt military invasion and occupation, or usually a combination of all three.
Reordering Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Central and Southeast Asia over the past two decades was meant to provide America with a united front of client states to wield against a reemerging Russia and a rising China before eventually folding both into its international order as well.
However, these efforts have mostly failed. Technology has bridged gaps in economic and military power the US and Europe had previously exploited to achieve centuries of global hegemony over the global East and South.
US Options
Syria and its allies will likely weather the attacks – if limited – as they have before, attempting to avoid the desired, wider confrontation the US seeks and letting the clock run out on Washington’s failed proxy war.
However, US policymakers may believe that the window of opportunity for the US to reassert itself as global hegemon has yet to close. It may calculate that its desire to carry out a direct military intervention in Syria to finally achieve regime change is greater than Russia and Iran’s willingness to risk direct war with the US to stop it.
The US may also be reckless enough to calculate that a limited confrontation directly with Russian assets in Syria would allow Washington to reassert itself in a much more dramatic way – with Russia not willing to escalate the conflict beyond the region. The US may even be willing to sacrifice US warships, aircraft, and ground bases during the ensuing conflict to achieve this goal – believing Russia will limit retaliation to the immediate theater of conflict.
However the possibility of these incredibly risky options spiraling out of control and quickly involving Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, and beyond would hopefully make such opinions all but inconceivable – even for increasingly desperate US policymakers.

Russian MoD reveals expert analysis of DOUMA SOIL contains NO TRACES of CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES.
Wed, 11 Apr 2018 16:50 UTC
DOUMA attack
© Reuters/ Bassam Khabieh
The General Staff of the RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES REVEALED the RESULTS of ANALYSIS of SYRIAN DOUMA SOIL TAKEN IMMEDIATELY AFTER ….the ALLEGED CHEMICAL ATTACK.
“I want to emphasize that ON APRIL 9, A DAY AFTER the ALLEGED CHEMICAL ATTACK in the DOUMA, RUSSIAN MILITARY SPECIALISTS in the field of radiation, chemical and biological defense, as well as military doctors ARRIVED DIRECTLY TO THE SITE of the ALLEGED INCIDENT, ” First Deputy Head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznihir said.
He noted that THE EXPERTS “TOOK SOIL SAMPLES, collected fragments from the so-called place of the alleged chemical weapons attack,” stressing that
THEIR EXPERTISE “SHOWED the ABSENCE of NERVE AGENTS and CHLORINE-CONTAINING POISONOUS SUBSTANCES.”
“As a result of the examination of the territory, the visit to the medical facility shown on the set of the White Helmets, the interview of the medical staff and the patients, neither facts of the use of poisonous substances nor injured among the inhabitants of this city were detected,” he stressed.
Comment: This is consistent with the fact that the WHITE HELMETS WERE AGAIN FOUND….NOT WEARING PROTECTIVE GEAR…DURING THE ALLEGED INCIDENT.
The experts have investigated the reports that appeared in early April, when several media outlets, citing Syrian militants, accused Damascus of carrying out a chemical weapons attack in the town of Douma.
The First Deputy Head specified Moscow’s steps to ensure security in the area amid the standoff over the alleged chemical attack, by saying that the Russian military police will be deployed in the Syrian town of Douma in Eastern Ghouta on April 12.
“Starting tomorrow, in order to ensure security, maintain law and order and organize assistance to the local population units of the Russian military police will be deployed in the town of Douma,” Poznikhir said.
Situation in Eastern Ghouta: Hazram Poisonous Substances Workshop
However, he recalled the Russian Military reports on the possible chemical attack by militants in the area, speaking about a militant workshop for the production of explosive items with poisonous substances that has been found in the Syrian town of Hazram at the beginning of March, according to Armed Forces of the Russian Federation General Staff.
Comment: See: Russia warns that militants in Syria are preparing false-flag gas attack against civilians
“One such example (on the provocations) was the discovery on March 3 of one of the underground tunnels in the town of Hazram, which turned out to be a militant workshop of for the backyard production of explosives with poisonous substances,” he said.
He stressed that the residents of Eastern Ghouta were provided with the necessary humanitarian assistance, both through the United Nations and the Russian center for Syrian reconciliation.
In January, the Russian center for Syrian reconciliation reported that Syrian terrorists were preparing provocations involving chemical warfare agents in Eastern Ghouta, which, they said, would be used by Western states as a pretext for accusing Damascus of the use of chemical weapons against the Syrian civilian population.

PotUS TRUMP KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
The MAINSTREAM MEDIA KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
ALL OF CONGRE$$ of Congress KNOWS that THE CHEMICAL ATTACK in SYRIA…IS A HOAX and FAL$E FLAG.
The ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS that ASSAD IS NOT that STUPID (he is a doctor and ophthalmologist) so as to gas women and children at the very moment HE IS WINNING THE WAR IN SYRIA…a…launching a chemical weapons strike for shits and giggle, moments after Trump announced a US pullout from Syria.
HERE ARE SIX VERY SIMPLE REASONS
WHY…TRUMP WILL GO TO WAR in SYRIA, 
ALL OF WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH a….TRUMPed UP “HEINOU$”….CHEMICAL ATTACK …..
from an “animal” dictator, OR $PREADING DEMOCRACY TO the MIDDLE EAST…
1. THE PETRODOLLAR he (via comment on The Gateway Pundit):
“THE CHINESE HAVE RECENTLY ISSUED THE GOLD BACKED YUAN…WHICH…THEY & OTHERS…HAVE VOWED TO USE to sell/purchase oil (amongst other things).
THE LAST TWO NATIONS THAT TRIED TO INTRODUCE A CURRENCY TO COMPETE AGAINST THE PETRODOLLAR…
WERE LIBYA and IRAQ.
THE US NEEDS THAT PIPELINE THROUGH SYRIA..EVEN MORE THAN EVER now, especially if they are to compete for European gas/oil markets (presently controlled by Russia and their pipeline) and the Chinese Yuan.
2. John McCain and the MIC:
McCAIN I$…THE DEEP $TATE PRESIDENT…and…THE NUMBER ONE WAR SALESMAN…for…THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
WHERE ever John McCAIN GOE$…WAR FOLLOW$……Libya…UKRAINE….SYRIA….McCAIN I$ the ANGEL of DEATH….
and the MIC sends him around the world TO ARM NEO-NAZI$ in UKRAINE…AL QAEDA TERRORI$T$…I$I$ HEAD CHOPPER$..and ANY OTHER GROUP that I$ WILLING TO START FAKE “CIVIL WAR$”…or….ILLEGAL “COUPS”….
…ALL FOR the PROFIT….of the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
3. SAUDI ARABIA and MbS:
SAUDI$ CROWN PRINCE just wrapped up a US PR TOUR and IS NOW IN FRANCE.
WESTERN LEADERS and MAINSTREAM MEDIA “liberals” are creaming in their pants over the Saudi leader, HAILING HIM AS A VISIONARY… renaissance man.
They FAIL TO REPORT on how MbS is SLAUGHTERING YEMENI citizens BY THE THOUSANDS… or how his Saudi dictatorship is one of the most repressive regimes in the world.
Also forgotten is that SADI ARABIA supported Al Qaeda during the 9/11 terrorist attack, and are admittedly FUNDING and TRAINING…AL QAEDA and I$I$ terrorists IN SYRIA……terrorists that make their way to Europe, and eventually run over innocent people with cars and trucks.
No matter…MbS (and his billions in cash) has the ear of Trump and Macron…now both the US and France are giddy about attacking Syria.
4. Israel:
I$RAEL HAS BEEN ITCHING TO DESTROY SYRIA FOR DECADES.
APRIL 9th, 2018 TWO ISRAELI F-15 FIGHTERS LAUNCHED GUIDED MISSILES from LEBANESE AIRSPACE
THEY STRUCK SYRIA’S T-4 AIRBASE in HOMS PROVINCE…WITHOUT WARNING… or just cause. Five out of eight missiles found themselves neutralized.
According to NBC news, I$RAEL INFORMED the UNITED STATES prior to THEIR STRIKE on the Syrian base……..
BUT DID NOT WARN RUSSIA.
RUSSIAN MILITARY COULD HAVE BEEN PRESENT at the SYRIAN BASE DURING the ATTACK…YET…I$RAEL DID NOT WARN MOSCOW.
In its actions…ISRAEL IS TRYING TO CREATE THE TRIP WIRE…. necessary TO PROPEL the WORLD TOWARD$ a HOT WAR…
BETWEEN…..the UNITED $TATE$…and…RUSSIA.
I$RAEL’$ GOAL…TAKE OVER SYRIA..or….at the very least IN$TALL a GOVERNMENT in DAMASCUS…that will report directly to Israel.
RUSSIA’S CONTROL of DOUMA…and…IT’S ABILITY TO NOW CONDUCT A FULL INVESTIGATION …….
I$ A BIG REASON WHY…the DEEP $TATE I$…SO EAGER to BOMB SYRIA…AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
As a result of the…TOTAL SURRENDER OF the JIHADI$… previously in control of Douma on Sunday….
IT IS THE RUSSIAN MILITARY WHO this timeARE IN CONTROLL of the …ALLEGED CRIME SCENE.
This has put the RUSSIANS in a position where for the first time they ARE ABLE both TO INVITE the OPCW INSPECTORS…
to ATTEND the CRIME SCENE and to provide them with protection if they are there, WHILST ate the SAME TIME ….
MONITORING and SUPERVISING their WORK.
IF…the CHEMICAL ATTACK on DOUMA…REALLY is FICTITIOUS – AS the RUSSIANS INSIST IT IS – THEN FOR THE FIRST TIME…
THEIR CONTROL of THE CRIME SCENE PUTS the RUSSIANS IN a STRONG POSITION TO PROVE IT.
THE POINT WAS MADE FORCEFULLY by RUSSIA’S UN AMBASSADOR Vassily Nebenzia AT THE UN Security Council session TODAY…and it also received indirect backing from…the UN SECRETARIAT…who ADMITTED that THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM that A CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK HAD HAPPENED…AND… who CALLED UPON ALL SIDES to SHOW RESTRAINT….
…UNTIL A PROPER INVESTIGATION of the INCIDENT HAD TAKEN PLACE.
NEBENZIA FOLLOWED THIS UP BY…INVITING…OPCW INSPECTORS TO THE SCENE…as early as TOMORROW, TUESDAY.
This is because THE CREDIBILITY of the VARIOUS ‘WITNE$$E$’ TO the DOUMA ATTACK – WHO ARE of course THE SAME WITNESSES…WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY ‘WITNE$$’…TO the 2013 EAST GHOUTA…and…the 2017 KHAN SHEIKHOUN ATTACKS – IS NOW ON THE LINE
A$ I$ the CREDIBILITY of THO$E WE$TERN GOVERNMENT$ – first and foremost the US GOVERNMENT– who believed or…WHO PRETENDED TO BELIEVE THEM.
I would add that NOT ONLY I$ THE CREDIBILITY of the U$ GOVERNMENT and of OTHER WE$TERN GOVERNMENT$…
ON THE LINE… SO I$ the CREDIBILITY of WE$TERN JOURNALI$T$…WHO…who also believed or PRETENDED to BELIEVE the……’WITNESSES’.
6. DISTRACT FROM Michael COHEN and $TORMY DANIEL$:
Bill CLITON DID IT…WHEN HE ATTACKED SERBIA…so as TO DISTRACT FROM MONICA’$ ‘BJ’ IN the OVAL OFFICE…and…
TRUMP has the OPPORTUNITY to BOMB SYRIA…so as TO DISTRACT from COHEN…MUELLER…and…PORN $TAR…
$TORMY DANIEL$.

MACRON BEG$ RUSSIA….NOT TO RETALIATE AGAIN$T FRENCH…SYRIA STRIKES.
$AY$…..STRIKES WOULD…”NOT BE INTENDED TO HARM GOVERNMENT ALLIES”
If Assad is such a monster that he needs to be bombed then so are his allies for standing by him so what is Macron doing reassuring them and asking for their restraint?
The FRENCH BOY-president says he I$ DI$CU$$ING BOMBING SYRIA with WA$HINGTON and LONDON. Actually last year Macron drew a red line saying any use of chemical weapons by the Syrian government side (which in practice means any allegation with enough media oomph) would automatically trigger a direct French military intervention.
Even so the VISIBLY NERVOUS MACRON… is now BEGGING MOSCOW…TO PLEA$E UNDERSTAND…that any French $TRIKE$ would NOT be AIMED at RUSSIANS… but would have the sole aim of allowing Macron to stand by Trump:
The French leader added that any action would NOT be INTENDED TO HARM government ALLIE$, who include Russia:
“In no case will the decision we take be intended to harm THE REGIME’S ALLIES…or…ANYONE ELSE …BUT to… …ATTACK the…CHEMICAL CAPACITY…OF…the REGIME… IF… the decision is taken.”
The obvious question is if Macron is so unsure of the strikes he is deliberating on why even order them?
The BEST GUARANTEE that SYRIA’ ALLIES WON’T RESPOND…IS…NOT TO ATTACK SYRIA.
But of course if Assad is such a monster then so are his allies for standing by him so why is Macron reassuring them and asking for their restraint?

Do you believe anybody has ever actually read one of your marathon posts? It’s like what words, having a train wreck, would look like.
CHINA’S MILITARY ARRIVE IN SYRIA to help Russia !
CHINA BE HELPING OUT THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST I$LAMIC STATE (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS) BY SENDING “MILITARY ADVISERS,” media reports have claimed.
“MORE CHINESE TROOPS WILL BE ARRIVING N THE COMING WEEKS,” a Syrian army official told the Lebanon-based news website Al-Masdar Al-‘Arabi. The report claims that a Chinese naval vessel is on its way to Syria with dozens of “military advisers” on board. They will reportedly be followed by troops. The ship is said to have passed the Suez Canal in Egypt and be making its way through the Mediterranean Sea.
According to the website, THE ADVISERS WILL BE JOINING THE RUSSIAN TROOPS IN THE LATAKIA AREA.
Meanwhile, an Israeli military news website, DEBKAfile, has cited military sources as saying that A CHINESE AIRCRAFT CARRIER, the Liaoning-CV-16, HAS ALREADY BEEN SPOTTED AT THE SYRIAN PORT of TARTUS ON THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST.
IT WAS SAID TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY A GUIDED MISSILE CRUISER.
The news comes after RUSSIA, IRAN, IRAQ and SYRIA AGREED TO ESTABLISH A JOINT INFORMATION CENTER IN BAGHDAD TO CO-ORDInATE THEIR OPERATIONS against Islamic State militants, according to sources. “The main GOAL of the CENTER WILL BE GATHERING, PROCESSING and ANALYZING CURRENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST – primarily for fighting IS,” a military-diplomatic source told Russian news agencies on Saturday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was recently asked about Russia’s presence in Syria, to which he replied that RUSSIA’S ACTIVITIES ARE LIMITED TO SUPPLYING WEAPONS TO THE SYRIAN GOVERNMENT, TRAINING PERSONNEL and PROVIDING HUMANITARIAN AID FOR THE SYRIAN PEOPLE.
“WE ACT BASED ON THE UNITED NATION’S CHARTER, i.e. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of MODERN INTERNATIONAL LAW, according to which this or that type of aid, INCLUDING MILITARY ASSISTANCE, can and must be PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY TO THE LEGITIMATE GOVERNMENT OF ONE COUNTRY or ANOTHER, UPON its CONSENT or REQUEST, or upon the decision of the United Nations Security Council,” Putin told CBS’s ‘60 Minutes’ show.
PUTIN REITERATED HIS SUPPORT FOR SYRIA’S REGULAR ARMY – the army of President Bashar Assad. “He [Assad] is confronted with what some of our international partners interpret as an opposition. In reality, ASSAD’S ARMY IS FIGHTING AGAINST TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS,” PUTIN SAID.
