Suspected gas attack on Syria's rebel-held Idlib kills at least 58: Observatory

[pcosmar]

I'm not really on a side, this is a significant event that could very well lead to another war.

I'm sure that is the intent.

I am also sure it was not Assad that used Poison Gas in Mosul.

but I do suspect the same folks did both.

This is horrific, whoever is resonsible should be tried for war crimes immediately by UN, ICC, Congress or whoever has the means to do so.


A comment on US media coverages of recent civilian deaths tragedies abroad. Instant news coverage of recent terror victims deaths in Russia (white) vs 2-3 days blackout of news of Iraqs' 200 civilians deaths (brown) (Iraq gov claim implicates 'Obama founded' group in civilians deaths in Mosul Iraq) had led to racism charges against US media outlets.

But speedy coverage of above Syrian victims (brown) loss should help dispel racism charges against media to an extent.

It doesn't matter that it gets proven as false. All they need is the headline and 80% of the sheeple will swallow it.

Never forget who is the aggressor.

Disagree...The ONLY reason the press is covering this gas attack is because it fits the Western propaganda view that Assad is a evil guy, and moves closer to ousting him... Thus CIA goal met.

So... this thread is hot-topics worthy.

Honestly, I lost all faith in Ron Paul Forums when this thread went to Hot Topics. I got some back when it was moved back to World News & Affairs. I'd love to know how that whole process went down and what mod thought it necessary to downplay a major world event.

It's what happens when critical thinking is displaced by blind contrarianism. Anything that is reported must be lies, and outright propaganda is sought out to provide something to cling to - not because of its validity, but because of its ideological purity.

There are people here who would rather believe a thing that is clearly unsupported by reality simply because it's presented to them by a person or organization with whom they identify. Any attempt to inject fact into the discussion provokes an ideological reaction - how dare you agree with person/organization X - that is entirely divorced from an evaluation of the facts of the matter.

It's called: I have seen this shit before, but this time my kids are approaching the age that they can be drafted to fight for the enrichment of the MIC.

So yes, I am short on trust in these stories that lead to more war. Democrats such as yourself once were as well. What happened to you?

Assad is not an angel and is quite capable of ruthless war. Has anyone seen any proof in MSM that this news story about deaths of innocent kids in Syria is fakenws being pushed by disgraced DGP's masters?



That said, DGP/his team's standing up for kids appears to be a bit hypocritical on the surface.

...

Don't worry, after a long and thorough investigation, and much considerate and wise deliberation, our Ambassador to the UN has declared war on Russia for this outrageous atrocity.

Thank you for supporting my argument.

The White Helmets, an al-Qaeda affiliated group funded by George Soros and the British government, have reportedly staged another chemical weapon attack on civilians in the Syrian city of Khan Shaykhun to lay blame on the Syrian government.

A day prior to the attack, Gulf-based Orient TV announced “Tomorrow we are launching a media campaign to cover the airstrikes on Hama country side including the usage of chemical warfare against civilians.” This shows clear foreknowledge that the rebels were going to stage an attack by Orient TV.

Well, we are willing to praise Trump when he aligns with our goals.

I guess he puts a higher value on children's lives when ended by chemical means than children's lives ending in explosion. I'm sure he realizes this, but does he not know that children are likely dying with most every airstrike he orders... Maybe he should be forced to witness the death of the many children he has killed if the sight of such will move his heart.

What is the point of the twit at Clear as Mud Politics?

still blaming Assad for attacks on his people? while supporting the attackers.

And what point are you trying to make?

Where can I find that they have admitted to this? I dont have a haaretz subscription.

It is my best understanding that, in 2013, the Saudis gave the chemical weapons to Al Nusra Front. The idea that Assad used them is a NATO fairytale. Is there any reason to believe anything different with regard to this incident?

Looks like the US plan for Syria was never going to change. So sad.

 

[misterx]

Any evidence yet that Mossad did this? I bet anything they did.
