Editor’s Comment: Yep, it’s all just a provocation, and it is pretty clear who benefits from this chaos. The fact that President Trump is (so far) going along with ridiculous claims that Assad did use chemical weapons does not bode well. It shows just how easily he will bend towards the will of the military industrial complex, and how easily reality can be distorted for a narrative that is convenient and inviting of those who would like to see American power used, and those who’d like to see more and more intervention.
For everyone else, it is a sad reminder that the will of the people has been ignored. The chorus to end the never ending wars has been ignored. Biting off more than we can chew over large parts of the globe will not make America great again, and it will not look after America’s interests. Perhaps there are others who benefit more personally?
Ron Paul: “Zero Chance” Assad Behind Chemical Weapons Attack In Syria; Likely A False Flag
by Tyler Durden
According to former Congressman Ron Paul, the chemical weapons attack in Khan Sheikhoun that killed 30 children and has led to calls for the Trump administration to intervene in Syria could have been a false flag attack.
As Paul Joseph Watson details, pointing out that the prospect of peace in Syria was moving closer before the attack, with ISIS and Al-Qaeda on the run, Paul said the attack made no sense.
“It looks like maybe somebody didn’t like that so there had to be an episode,” said Paul, asking, “who benefits?”
“It doesn’t make any sense for Assad under these conditions to all of a sudden use poison gases – I think there’s zero chance he would have done this deliberately,” said Paul.
he former Congressman went on to explain how the incident was clearly being exploited by neo-cons and the deep state to enlist support for war.
“It’s the neo-conservatives who are benefiting tremendously from this because it’s derailed the progress that has already been made moving toward a more peaceful settlement in Syria,” said Paul.
Many have questioned why Assad would be so strategically stupid as to order a chemical weapons attack and incite the wrath of the world given that he is closer than ever to winning the war against ISIS and jihadist rebels.
Just five days before the attack, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said, “The longer-term status of President Assad will be decided by the Syrian people,” implying a definite shift in U.S. foreign policy away from regime change in Syria.
Why would Assad put such assurances in jeopardy by launching a horrific chemical attack, allowing establishment news outlets like CNN to once against use children as props to push for yet another massive war in the Middle East?

Of COURSE it was a false flag. As soon as I saw the news, I knew the narrative was bullshit.
It was all too predictable, really. Just the day after they had decided to leave Assad alone, McCain and Graham went ballistic. Then the agit-prop machine screams out the narrative. Won’t be long before a real war goes hot.
Make America Great Again? Nope, the Late Great USA.
It has just started. U.S. strike on Syria, launching 60 Tomahawks minutes ago. The warmongers are celebrating now.
Every war out there begins with a False Flag. The Lusitania, Remember the Maine, Pearl Harbor, 9-11, Boston Marathon, Paris Bombing, San Bernadine CA and don’t forget the USS Liberty attacked by Israel. This Syria gas attack has the signs of Mossad and CIA all over it. And I bet the CIA and Mossad just did the Train Bombing in Russia.
Had enough of these POS Frauds using US tax payers money to instigate this? Exterminate the Attackers. All of these parasites and cut off their payrolls. $38 Billon to Israel for what? AIPAC and False flags. Do you like paying these terrorists to attack us?
Spot on Hermes. The real terrorists are in Washington DC and on Wall Street. The real terrorists wear suits.
Wag The Dog
False flag – Assad has NOTHING to gain by using chemical weapons on children – ISIS has/did. Bombing Assad military base was carelessly premature. During the bombing raids on ISIS positions, ISIS technical people could have sent in one or more of their small or large drones with canisters of poison gas to coincide with the bombings. They are diabolically clever. ISIS has been getting practice using drones, dropping grenades, etc. on Iraqi troops who are trying to dislodge them from Mosul. Unfounded and probably false assumptions by Western leaders can worsen the already horrible situations for both innocent Muslims and Christians in Syria, Iraq, Samali, Egypt etc. beset by Muslim terrorists. Who then has sold or given drones, poison gas and the technology to ISIS and their allies to help them overthrow the Assad government? Who helped overthrow the Llbyian government but failed in Egypt? Uhm, I wonder? Maybe Susan Rice/Hillary and Obama have that answer since Rice claimed three months ago that the US had removed poison gases from Syria in cooperation with Russia. How about Turkey? – claims by some folks that they have supplied Sarin gas to some of the terrorists groups. google links.
Of course, its all BS!! How could anyone believe otherwise!!! I went to the bottom of the hill yesterday and heard Trump– our last great chance– talk about all this on TV and realized we are on the verge of World War. I give it until July… that’s when it begins.
Russia has 2 choices– they can give up and go home, leaving Syria to the US…or they fight the US and we are in WW3. Russia has vowed to protect Syria– they are allies. What do you think will happen?
Its not just Syria but rather an orchestrated plan to economically strangle Russia. Russia derives 53% of its GDP from energy sales both Oil and Natural Gas. Russia is the greatest supplier of Natural Gas to Europe. The Ukraine is their main distribution hub. This is why their pro Russian government was overthrown by the west. Syria under Assad is preventing a Natural Gas pipeline to transverse through it from Qatar into Europe thus driving Russia from that market. This is neither friendship or pride for Russia to keep Assad in power but long term economic survival. If Russia “packs up and goes home” there will be no home of substance for them in a decade or two at the longest. This is literally survival for Russia.
TPTB are flirting with WWIII to obtain a complete monopoly on world energy resources. Any saber rattling along the way is advertising justification for more weapon sales for MIC.
This is hubris madness.
Looks like Trump is caving to the neocons. McCain must have some shit on Trump.
Kevin2..You nailed it.
Perhaps China may step in, then US Military personnel, most of whom are real Americans, will be left to fight them all, and die. Bear, Dragon, and Eagle, anyone? A setup if there ever was one.
EXACTLY…ONLY Those who pushed the conflict and the US being embroiled in it directly benefit from gassing people…White helmets LIE, proven to lie, proven before on ALL OF THEIR CLAIMS to have set up and false flagged and FED those reports to the MSM.
Rand Paul was absolutely correct. the TERRORIST (Syrian “rebels” did it and those with CBRNE training KNOW better that this was NOT SARIN gas (which is a persistent agent, and ALL of the responders would have also died from incidental exposures.
I guess the voting booths will need to be moved to the rooftops if the will of the people is to count for anything…
Turns out Trump is as much a puppet as the rest or am I gonna be told that this is one of his “plans” to drain the swamp. No one becomes the president without being sufficiently vetted by the bosses.
This is why Ron Paul did not win. He couldn’t be corrupted.
Got those ballot boxes loaded?
Ill vote with you up there. I’m glad there are people who can see things for what they really are.
I thought something is up when the cabinet was filled with the Establishment with Pence being the successor. If Rand Paul was picked for VP, Ron Paul as Secretary of the Treasury, Dennis Kucinich Secretary of Labor…….Well you have pumps to drain the swamp.
getting DIRT on a person is just ONE way to “get to” them. threatening them and their family is ANOTHER. the FBI and other 3-letter agencies have FAR too much power over U.S…..will there EVER be a draining of this swam…..no….wait…..CESSPOOL?
Pralidoxime (2-pyridine aldoxime methyl chloride) or 2-PAM, usually as the chloride or iodide salts, belongs to a family of compounds called oximes that bind to organophosphate-inactivated acetylcholinesterase. It is used to combat poisoning by organophosphates or acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (nerve agents) in conjunction with atropine and diazepam.

So?
I used to be a Ron Paul supporter but really he is a big part of the 30 year career politician swamp. Now he is hocking doom books and he couldn’t even keep his kids from becoming globalist bank supporters. I wish he would show his “evidence” and stop spreading fake news. So hey Ron Paul, dry up and blow away. Thanks for losing every battle for the republic in 30 plus years!
Trump parroting what the insane neocons and neolibs utter regarding Syria is simpleminded and delusional.
How can anyone with a half a brain believe that Assad would use chemical weapons on his own people with Russia close by.
He wouldn’t need to gas anybody, as he’s got the upper hand against the terrorists at this point.
Only Israel, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the USA benefit from this chemical attack. NOT SYRIA.
Well if Hillary was in the Whitehouse, she’d would’ve slung on her “strap-on”, honed it on a grinding wheel to a fine edge, and Amerikan tanks would be rolling down the streets of Damascus by now.
Instead Hitlary is trying to figure out how to hide a file up her gash when she goes to prison. To break out. We need to send John McCain to the front line in Syria and make him put his ass where his mouth is and see how long he lasts. Spouting off like a girlie whiner.
I’m sure that critter would easily hide an acetylene torch and tank.
“…the will of the people has been ignored.”
I’m not sure that the people in general have a will.
Or, if they do have one, it’s more like: “Oh, Yes. I WILL have rainbow sprinkles on my diet Chai Latte with extra whip cream. Thank-you!”
Jesus, now accepting refunds.
I want my money back…
Why would other countries go along with the false flag?
Somebody better tell Trump about the false flag.
I also smell false-flag on this gas attack. I agree it’s insanity for Assad to use any chemical weapons now since Russia has helped him gain the upper-hand over the rebels. Let’s also remember that some of Assad’s chemical weapons stockpiles have fallen into rebel hands even before Russia’s intervention. I suspect either Al-Nusra or ISIS. Plus the town where the attack took place is still in rebel hands. Trump needs to resist the calls of the POS neocons to go into Syria. While the attack is sad to hear about, Syria is not America’s problem.

“While the attack is sad to hear about, Syria is not America’s problem.”
While this is true its quite possible that the attack never took place and this is staged. Regardless its a false flag none the less. What is frightening is the capability of TPTB using the intelligence agencies (no doubt from several nations) to both create and broadcast the “news”. When they get caught, their control of the “news media” doesn’t report it or significantly marginalizes it. The’ll talk society to march off a cliff.
Wag The Dog
We have ME refugees here and in training camps. I suspect removing Assad may prompt some unexpected domestic excitement! Then the fun begins.
Who would have guessed that DJT would completed the fundamental transformation.
Lots of Choppers this week and especially today. During Iraq it was Huge transports twice daily.
The US enacting a “No Fly Zone”could politically backfire. The ostensible justification is to prevent the Syrians from using gas on their insurgents. Its very easy for Russia to say, “The Syrian Air Force is grounded and Russia will fulfill those duties with labeled Russian aircraft with Russian pilots”. Now Russia, “doubles down” and increases its military presence in Syria.
The US wouldn’t dare shoot down a Russian aircraft.
Obama tried to also sell a similar Assad chemical weapons fairy tale awhile back, remember?
Now the bastard NWO operatives in the CIA are selling it again, not only to start WW3, but to also get the public’s mind off of Pedo-gate, off of the absolute treason of the intelligence agencies in America, and off of the criminal enterprise called the Clinton foundation.
Don’t under estimate the power of a “good” false flag. Remember the balls Rumsfield had when the day before 9/11 he publicly announced that 2.3 trillion dollars went missing from the Pentagon? After 9/11, barely a thought about the missing trillions.
It’s always going to come down to we the people administering justice when treason in government continues unabated. Settle this truth in your minds.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” (Declaration of Independence”
Well said
Here, here, and amen.
MSM is saying they have pictures of the aircraft that released the gas on the Syrians , and it was a Syrian plane. Of course any idiot could deduct that someone could take a similar plane and paint it to look like the Syrian Air Force. I’ll wager the CIA is involved. Trump is starting to make big mistakes, and so is his cabinet. Trump needs to get rid of Ivanka, and Jered Kushner. They are both too young and too inexperienced to be giving the POTUS advice. POTUS needs to surround himself with people like Rand Paul, Trey Goudy, and anyone else that will stand their ground and not get weak and flip flop. I was taught that when you make a decision, right or wrong, stand by it, because you look weak if you don’t. If it turns out wrong, learn from it, and go forward. Just be sure you have done you’re homework on the matter.
Message To Trump:
I, personally, don’t care what crimes, (no matter how deplorable they may be), you may have been involved in !!
••••••• Go, and sin no more.
••••••• We don’t want war.

Quite interesting and I think appropriate, for what greater lie could there be than a false flag resulting in war and the death and maiming of countless individuals.

Common sense is ignored by people with an ideological agenda to follow..Just ask Hillary, she ignored it too….
While I am very skeptical of this situation and the great potential for a false flag, I think many people here, including Ron Paul are immediately going into their respective corners and picking sides. I think this is the wrong thing to do.
I think the prudent thing to do at this point is to see what de-classified evidence the Pentagon had to prove that this was indeed Assad who was behind this chemical attack. They have the burden of proof and WE the People have a right to the truth
It is quite possible that Trump was duped by the Neocons and the CIA (who are clearly NOT his friends) but Trump has a record of being steadfast in his non-interventionist stance.
I think it is a bit premature for anyone to go into their respective corners. I will be the first to call out Trump for capitulation if that is the case. But if this was justified, then I give Trump my complete support
would it be prudent then to investigate the use of chemical weapons prior to unleashing all these missiles ? It takes a week or two for a crime investigation unit to prove a case even if the suspect admits to the crime ?? Wake up and use your mind
