Would Syrian President Assad launch a chemical attack on civilians just as peace talks are about to be held and where government gains against ISIS and al-Qaeda rebels give him the upper hand? He would be literally committing suicide. Who benefits from the attack? Not Assad. But the rebels and the US neocons and the warmongers benefit a great deal. Are we about to be taken to war yet again based on lies? Tune in to today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:
Reprinted from The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity.
The neocons are crying for Syrian children. Hypocrisy at its best! They killed five hundred thousand children in Iraq and ‘that was worth it’! They are killing and starving children in Yemen.
This Gas issue is a CIA plant executed by White Helmets.
They want to destroy Syria.
Not necessarily planted. Islamists used Chem weapons just about a month ago in fighting in Iraq. I think it was part of their own stash that the Russians bombed (with ot without knowing it) They seem tohave access to more than just what might have been pilfered from Syrian stockpiles prior to Sept. 2013.
I suspect the pause in the Mousul fighting was in part to allow some Sunni fighters to quit Mosul and transfer to Syria and join the fight against the Government & Russian forces in the wake of Aleppo’s fall. They could have brought Chemical agents with them as well.
The original ‘red line’ gas attacks used chemicals supplied by Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as reported by Seymour Hersh in ‘The Red Line and the Rat Line’, London Review of Books in April 2014.
Must be something about April. In any case, there are probably lots of the original smuggled precursor chemicals that escaped Russian bombardment, stashed in no-bomb civilian areas.
If not, new supplies can still be smuggled in, though Kurdish complicity might be needed now that the IS is cut off from Turkey direct. American complicity is kind of a default thread throughout.
This is the same as last gas attCk , Israel want Assad gone , trumps son is everywhere lately don’t trust him, now trumps sacked bannon
God help us if trump attacks Assad
Seems awfully convenient doesn’t it. in 2013 incidents – in which BTW the UN investigation NEVER established a perpetrator – at least there was a motive for Assad (or a rogue commander) to use Chem as they were under severe pressure at the time.
However now, with all the military & political momentum, it’s really a stretch to argue that Syrian leadrship ordered such a strike purely to satisfy some insatiable lust for using Chemical Weapons (when the same people had sat on them for decades without using them…) Assad is not a lunatic like Kim, Governing in Syria has always been complicated, with much thought and compromise needed in the appointments of the cabinet and military positions to keep various factions on side. The manager of such an outfit could not be a impulsive psycho.
Excellent analysis as always from Ron Paul. He is a rock.
I don´t like the way Trump sounded during the press conference together with Jordans king. Bannon is out of the SC and now Trump sounds like…. McCain. Not good . Not good at all.
He’s got it figured out but he and Daniel don’t hate the balls to say it. In fariness to them, they would be massacred by the American people and labelled as baby haters.
But it’s going to have to start somewhere and it’s not going to happen on this site. Ron Paul and Daniel have the recognition to start it happening outside of this site.
Perhaps in a little while when Americans come to the realization that they have been taken for a ride by Trump?
The Trump antiwar scam is done.
His health care deal for the middle class and poor is done.
It can’t take much longer?
The boast made at the start of Gulf Wars 2 had the sitting president’s ex-president daddy said they “knew” the Ba’ath party had the stuff (never found, and there’s a long difference between a million pounds as advertised and the zero pounds actually found) because they “kept the receipts”. In other news, the decontamination and destruction of the massive Nerve Gas stockpile at the corners of Pueblo, Fremont and El Paso Counties, about 25 miles as the crow flies and about 60 miles as the dog trots (that’s how you measure distance in mountains) from Colorado Springs, well, it got delayed again. And this time of the year we get the strongest winds from the southwest. Anybody want to guess where the Nerve Gas repository is relative to Colorado Springs?
Funny thing about gas… you can be the most powerful person on earth but you’ll never command the wind. What if one party throws caution literally to the wind, like tossing the gas toward Assad’s forces, and the wind shifted?
Not that I trust any government leader. It’s just a quick knee jerk reaction to assume that Assad actually did it. That’s the reason for the existence of investigators.
Israeli agents in Syria…that’s interesting. They were in Iran and killed a few of their nuclear scientists…an interesting take. Assad isn’t stupid..why risk everything and go gas women and children…anyone in their right mind, dictator or not, would make that stupid move. Who is really behind this…we need the truth
Don’t get into the Israel stuff that skews the truth. If Israelis had anyting to do with it then it was Israel on behalf of the US. Only Americans would try to move the blame and responsibility and that’s not helpful. In fact, it’s causing a fatal mistake in that it’s legitimizing US actions in a dangerous way.
The party that benefits is the US and the stage has been set for the war that is planned. It has been being set for pretty well the whole duration of the Trump regime’s time in office.
It’s pretty easy to understand in terms of Trump’s plan to ‘make America great again’. Military means is the obvious way. The only way! It’s just a wonder that Raimondo is so slow on the uptake on what his Trump is causing to happen.
Without taking the time to watch another 18 minutes of worthless babbling.
Don’t ask stupid questions boys. It’s only spinning the wheels and shows a lack of courage on stating the truth.
Of course it wasn’t done by Assad stupid!
False flag yes, perpetrated by U.S. & Britain, no. (not that they wouldn’t engage in that type of thing – especially in years past – i.e. Bush Sr. admin.) – but this false flag attack (and the one prior in 2013) most likely perpetrated by Russia. Meanwhile Russia has no problem convincing Assad it was perpetrated by the U.S. (due to U.S.’s past, reprehensible behavior). Thereby Russia alienates Syria from other countries while solidifying Assad’s trust (while he’s actually undermining him, and efforts toward peace in his country). For Putin, it’s all about causing discord, and marginalizing the United States, so that he can emerge as the new, most-powerful world leader. (at least that’s his fantasy, imo). Putin is bad, bad, news. He is playing games and pulling strings, so he can appear the sane, reasonable guy. But he is up to no good
