White House: The Rationale For War With Syria Is Top Secret
The White House has declined to comment on why they think they have the legal authority to strike Syria without congressional approval. This comes as the Trump administration puts “all options on the table” and tries to decide how much damage to inflict on the war-torn nation.
The president has the authority to deploy military force in the interest of self-defense, but outside that rationale, the president’s legal authority becomes murkier. And striking Syria is not in the interest of self-defense, but a provocative escalation of war. Critics simply want president Donald Trump to declare why he thinks it’s necessary to inflame an issue over what’s amounting to a false flag chemical attack.
But what the White House does have, is a seven-page memo that they say “makes the case” for a strike.
After the United States’ missile strikes against Syria last year (of which the government has admitted that they has no evidence it was Bashar al-Assad who had used the chemical weapons), a group made up primarily of former Obama administration lawyers called “Protect Democracy,” filed a Freedom of Information Act request to demand the legal justification for the strikes. They were told of a seven-page memo that the White House will likely use this time around to make the case for an attack.
Although the first page containing the background information is classified, the other six pages are not. Protect Democracy filed an update with the court asking for a speedy resolution of its lawsuit on the heels of Trump’s Monday tweet stating that “smart missiles” incoming to Syria were imminent. Now the White House is saying they can’t share the six pages of information that allegedly gives the Trump administration the legal authority to start a war.
The Trump administration argues that the memo was prepared for the purpose of giving advice to the president and says in a court filing that disclosure could “chill the open and frank expression of ideas.” Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va. (Hillary Clinton’s running mate), who has become a leading voice advocating for Congress’ responsibility to approve military action, said the president should release the memo before any strikes, but that he would approve of attacking Syria.
“Without congressional authorization, any military action President Trump takes in Syria that isn’t in self-defense is illegal,” Kaine said in a statement on Wednesday. “And while he’s at it, he should also release the secret legal memo that reportedly justifies the airstrikes on Syria last year — which clearly haven’t deterred Syrian leader Bashar Assad — and that the president is apparently now using as precedent for unilateral military action.”
It looks like Kaine got the memo telling him that even though there’s no evidence in either chemical attack that Assad was responsible, Assad is somehow still responsible. Kaine told NPR this week that while in general, he would support airstrikes against Assad, he does not believe that the president can unilaterally bomb a sovereign country like Syria without congressional authorization.
It doesn’t seem like Trump will have any trouble getting Congress to agree to start another war, however. It just may take him longer to start it if he asks their permission. The one thing the left and right statists can agree on: war.

Donald Trump has now demonstrated that he is nothing more than an inarticulate sideshow clown and a counterfeit medieval medicine man offering cheap miracle and ILLUSIONARY fixes for America’s problems here and abroad – “I will eliminate poverty” he was heard to have said recently.
Donald Trump is really Donald Drumpf, and his real name reveals some of the true secrets behind his character. Trump appears not even to be his family’s legal name.
Donald’s great-grandparents, Christian Johannes Drumpf and Katherina Kober, had sons, Christian Drumpf and Christ Chirst.[16] Christian was Sleazy Freddy’s father. By his name, Christ Christ, may had converted to Judaism. Nevertheless, Donald’s great-grandmother, Kathernia Kober, appears to have been Jewish.
What we know is that the surname Kober is German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from a derivative of the personal name Jakob or Yakov. German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from German Kober “basket“,
Recently Donald Trump released a Chanukah greeting along with a message of solidarity for his “Jewish brothers and sisters”. He tweeted out a wish for a “happy and healthy eight nights” along with a formal message on behalf of himself and the First Lady, Melania – who aint no lady!
He said: “Chanukah is a time for Jewish families around the world to come together around the lighting of the menorah and celebrate the miracles of the past and promises of the future. Melania and I wish all of our Jewish brothers and sisters celebrating this meaningful holiday a happy and healthy eight nights in the company of those they love.” He went on to explain the Chanukah story, concluding that he was “proud to stand with the Jewish people who shine as a light to all nations. We also stand with the people of Israel, the Jewish State, which has itself a miraculous history of . . . overcoming the greatest of odds. ”
As with most who desire to be rich, Donald Drumpf made his pact with the DEVIL a long time ago, and he doesn’t mind showing you who his father is and his Jewish kin are who now totally dominate the White House.
Just to hit the point home, the appointment of John Bolton to be the new National Security Advisor is just the latest Trump hiring of a morally flexible Zionist stooge and perhaps the most concerning thus far. Bolton is chairman of the Gatestone Institute, a Neocon think tank that is financed by US-Israeli Zionists and operates as a black propaganda outlet for the crime cabal that we often refer to as Khazarian mafia.
So, this current Putin bashing or “east vs west” dialectic is phony, just like the so-called opposition of the Jewish owned MSM and the Jewish owned Trump. Think about it! And you don’t navigate the shark-infested waters of NYC real estate without becoming a prisoner to Israeli foreign policy. Trump would NEVER have made his millions in historically Jewish owned Manhattan property without their help.
It’s all theatre with a bunch of bad actors on the world stage doing their best to deceive the dumbed down goyim and its so classic Mossad. But as they say in the classics . . “You can’t fool all of the people ALL of the time . . .
We are expected to believe that the Assad regime committed a horrific atrocity against mostly women and children at the very moment when Syrian forces have decisively defeated the Islamist rebels and Trump declared he wanted US troops out of Syria. Days before this fake attack, the Russian Defense Ministry warned that a false flag provocation was in the making.
Where’s the evidence that Assad launched a chemical attack? Like the series of fake “attacks” touted by the jihadist rebels over the years, this one lacks verification – but that doesn’t bother the War Party. Since when do they need evidence? Last time Trump fell for this routine it turned out that his own Secretary of Defense admitted – well after the US bombing raid – that there was “no evidence” that the Syrian government had launched a chemical attack.
The same dodgy “proof” beleaguers the Skripal “poisoning” case in Britain – and, what a coincidence, the same villains are being blamed – Putin & Co. The idea that Assad had anything to gain from launching such an attack is not even worth refuting: he’d already won the war. So what would be the point? It isn’t hard to understand this, yet our stupid President is clueless – or pretends to be.
The sad thing is that most Americans have slowly but surely become a dumbed down and largely clueless people that have NO awareness of the risk that the criminally insane government in Washington is taking with their lives. The lack of mass street protests throughout the nation is clear proof of that.

World War III….WILL BE AN ECONOMIC WAR
by Tyler Durden
Wed, 04/11/2018 – 19:25
Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,
THERE IS A MASS DELUSION in the mainstream created I think in large part by too much exposure to movie fantasy and TV fiction. It is an immediate assumption; one that I believe is far more dangerous than many people give it credit for.
The ASSUMPTION IS that THE NEXT GREAT WAR, should it occur, WILL inevitably BE A NUCLEAR ONE, and the doom surrounding it will end everything as we know it.
Many people even get excited at the idea of World War III and the notion that it will “wipe the slate clean,” SETTING the STAGE for a positive human reformation from the ashes. I’m here to say that THI$ I$ LIKELY NOT HOW THINGS WILL ….
PLAY…..OUT.
There are much MORE precise and EFFECTIVE WEAPON$ than NUKE$ in the AR$Enal of the eSTABlishment GLO-BAALists…THAT MANIPULATE…POLITICAL CYSTems in VARIOUS NATIONS.
For example, the use of WEAPONIZED ECONOMICS and FALSE PARADIGMS.
HAS BEEN ENGINEERED to TAKE PLACE…..and….THI$ CONFLICT will primarily BE AN ECONOMIC ONE. 
As I have warned for years now….A CONFLICT BETWEEN…East and West….
I outlined this dynamic in October 2016 in my article East vs. West Division Is About The Dollar — Not Nuclear War.
The excitement and dread surrounding potential nuclear warfare distracts, I think, from the much MORE LEGITIMATE THREAT of a…STAGED FINANCIAL WAR BETWEEN East and West.
It is important to remember that ALL WAR$ are invariably BANKER WARS— that is to say…ALMO$T ALL WAR$…BENEFIT …INTERNATIONAL FINANCIERS….by …CREATING an ENVIROMENT for….CENTRALIZATION of WEALTH and POLITICAL POWER.
This notion tends to confuse some analysts and activists in the liberty movement.
There is a STRANGE clinging OBSESSION with these people to the idea THAT THERE IS…TRUE INTERNATIONAL DIVISION….and that …THI$ DIVISION INCLUDES….EASTERN governments ON ONE $IDE…ver$u$….Glo-BAAL-ist….CONTROLLED governments……ON the OTHER.
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM the TRUTH. 
Considering the REALITY…. that …THE VERY SAME glo-BAAList REPRESENTATIVE$ and INSTITUTIONS…THAT PERMEATE WESTERN FINANCE…and…POLITICS…..ALSO……SIT IN POSITIONS of INFLUENCE…..in COUNTRIES LIKE…..RUSSIA and CHINA….I FIND IT HARD to BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ANY SORT of “DIVISION”….IN the UPPER ESCHELONS of THEIR RESPECTIVE POWER STRUCTURES.
For all intents and purposes, THE SAME POISONOUS INFLUENCES….from GOLDMAN SACHS….to…JP MORGAN…to…ROTH$CHILD….RUN….CORPORATIONS….to …HENRY KI$$INGER (Mr. “New World Order”)….ALL LOOM OVER EASTERN ECONOMIC POLICY …and POLITICS as WELL.
I have been writing about THE FALSE EAST/WEST PARADIGM since at least 2014 and COMPILING EVIDENCE on Glo-BAALi$t INFLUENCES in RUSSIA and CHINA; you can read more here and here.
The bottom line is this: RUSSIA and CHINA are in FULL SUPPORT of Glo-BAALi$T CONTROLLED INSTITUTIONS
…RUSSIA and CHINA…WANT the IMF…a Glo-BAALi$T CONTROLLED ENTITY ….TO BECOME the DE FACTO….RULER of A NEW GLOBAL MONETARY STRUCTURE. 
…like the…BANK for INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS (the central bank of central banks)…and…THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF). THE GOVERNMENTS of BOTH NATIONS HAVE CALLED for the IMF to A$$ERT…THEIR SPECIAL
DRAWING RIGHTS BA$KET CURRENCY FRAMEWORK….AS A…..FOUNDATION for a ….NEW WORLD RESERVE CURRENCY SYSTEM.
Again, both…
THIS CALL FOR A COMPLETE WORLD MONETARY SHIFT has NOT BEEN TAKEN as SERIOUSLY as IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN…not …..primarily because mainstream economists argue that there is no alternative to the highly liquid U.S. dollar. This is no longer true, though.
With the rise of simple to generate CRYPTO-CURRENCIES AND the easily TRACKED BLOCKCHAIN exchange mechanism, Glo-BAALi$T$ NOW HAVE the PERFECT liquidity TOOL…FOR REPLACING the DOLLAR as….WORLD RE$ERVE CURRENCY.
That is to say
THE MA$$E$ MUST be THOROUGHLY DISTRACTED….by AN ENGINEERED DI$ASTER…THEATRE…
CHANGE$ in the….WORLD’$ FI$CAL CY$Tem….WITHOUT AMPLE RE$I$TANCE…from …POPULATIONS…..SUFFERING FROM the EFFECTS of the RESET.
This TRADE WAR…in my view…is…DESIGNED….to BECOME $O WIDESPREAD…that IT WILL…ONE DAY be CON$IDERED a
“WORLD WAR.”
CHINA has BEEN PREPARING for THE MOVE..AWAY FROM…the US DOLLAR SINCE at least 2005 when they began issuing what the western financial media called “panda bonds”, or YUAN DENOMINATED BONDS.
Back then, the idea was almost treated as a joke. Not so much anymore, as China has expanded its liquidity by trillions over the past 13 years through various Yuan denominated instruments and has now even began purchasing oil in Yuan instead of dollars. This has created what is being called a “petro-yuan” market, a move which was predicted far in advance by many of us in the alternative media, but for the mainstream it has been presented as something out of left field. Petro-yuan futures are being traded globally, and considering the fact that China is the largest importer/exporter in the world, IT IS ONLY A MATTER of TIME BEFORE MANY of CHINA’S TRADING PARTNERS ….SWITCH FROM the DOLLAR to YUAN for EXCHANGES.
All of this is culminating is a final action – THE END GAME FOR…DEVELOPING TRADE WAR.
This action will be THE COMPLETE DUMPING of the DOLLAR by CHINA and its allies. With evidence building that China is stopping purchases of US treasury bonds, this action may come much sooner than many people seem to think. The naysayers continue to argue that China “will never break from the US and the dollar”, yet, this is exactly what is happening. It appears that these people will not accept THE REALITY OF the situation until it sets up camp on their front lawn in the form of a MONETARY COLLAPSE.
A$ FAR A$ DISTRACTION$ ARE CONCERNED the TRADE WAR ACTIVITY has BEEN very EFFECTIVE.
For example, over THE PAST FEW MONTHS I have been pointing out
:THE STRANGE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN …ANNOUNCEMENT$ by the FEDERAL RESERVE……CONCERNING….INTEREST RATE INCREASE & BALANCE SHEET CUT$……and…..ANNOUNCEMENT$ by Donald TRUMP……on…..TARIFF$ AGAIN$T CHINA and other NATIONS. 
In almost every instance that THE FED’$ ACTIONS PRECIPITATE…a MAJOR DROP in STOCK MARKETS… (such as last week when Jerome Powell announced an increased number of interest rate hikes and further balance sheet reductions) TRUMP
MEDIA automatically BLAMES..TRUMP and the TRADE WAR…for…INSTABILITY in STOCKS… while completely IGNORING the DIRECT CORRELATION between the FEDERAL RESERVE…REMOVING…ARTIFICIAL SUPPORT from STOCK MARKET$…and….THEIR continuing DECLINE$.
SIMULTANEOUSLY…ANNOUNCES MORE AGGRE$$IVE…TARIFF MEA$URE$.
The mainstream
Even now, THERE are ALTERNATIVE ECONOMI$T$ and their followers THAT STILL DON’T GET WHAT IS HAPPENING.
PEOPLE WHO $TILL THINK….the FED’$ ACTION$ are a “POLICY ERROR”……
THAT the BANKER$ are UNAWARE of WHAT THEY are DOING… 
…..and THAT THEY WILL EVENTUALLY REVERSE COURSE…and….BEGIN PROPPING up STOCK$ ONCE AGAIN.
My question is — WHY WOULD THEY
INTERNATIONAL FINANCIER$…and….CENTRAL BANK$TER$…have EVERYTHING to GAIN by PULLING the PLUG on LIFE SUPPORT for STOCK$…BONDS…REAL ESTATE etc…at THIS TIME.
IN the MID$T of a TRADE WAR PANIC …THEY CAN PRETTY MUCH …DO ANYTHING THEY WANT….WITHOUT RETALIATION.
Some WILL BLAME…Donald TRUMP…and….the CONSERVATIVES that voted for him.
SOME will BLAME CHINA and RUSSIA as the CULPRIT$….BEHIND….OUR ILL$
:
EVEN THOUGH…..WE HAVEN’T ENJOYED …TRUE FREE MARKET$…..in WELL over a CENTURY.
BUT…..VERY FEW people…..WILL BLAME…..Glo-BAAL BANK$…..SPECIFICALLY.
I can tell you exactly what GLO-BAALists WILL say as they SALIVATE OVER the PANIC…..
THEY WILL….BLAME…..the “SELFISHNESS”…of…”NATIONALISM”…..as THE GREAT CULPRIT….and…..
THEY…WILL CALL for …..a ONE WORLD ECONOMIC SYSTEM…..BUILT on a ONE WORLD currency FRAMEWORK…….
…as….a…..SOLUTION.
In many ways a WORLD ECONOMIC WAR could be far more disastrous than a nuclear one. In the event of economic collapse just as many people could very well perish as trade infrastructure and freight systems shut down, but THE DAMAGE CAN BE MORE EASILY….DIRECTED and CENTRALLY CONTROLLED by….FINANCIAL ELITISTS……..
WEALTH CAN BE SHIFTED into any number of assets ANYWHERE on the PLANEt — so THE IDEA that Glo-BAALists HAVE ANYTHING to LOSE in this scenario I$ RATHER NAIVE.
IN the MEANTIME…the BANK$ PLAN to….STEAL EVEN MORE POWER…for EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS…like the IMF.
A$ some…COUNTRIE$…SUFFER ECONOMIC BREAKDOWN……Glo-BAAList INSTITUTIONS….WILL ONLY GROW.
In a nuclear war, there is only pandemonium. IN an ECONOMIC WAR…CENTRALIZED DOMINANCE REMAINS POSSIBLE.
The greatest disaster would not be the tragedy of mass unemployment, degradation of infrastructure, loss of monetary stability or loss of reliable food and energy production.
No….THE GREATEST DI$A$TER….WOULD be the CONTINUED THRIVING of BANKING…CONGLOMERATE$ …….
….and……..CENTRAL BANK ORGANIZATION$…..as LARGE PORTIONS of the WORLD CRUMBLE.
The GREATEST DISASTER will be what happens AFTER the collapse — the CON$OLIDATION of a “NEW WORLD
ORDER”……….IF the BANKING elites ARE NOT UNMASKED…..A$ the REAL CATALY$T….BEHIND the …NEXT WORLD
WAR.
