    Corbett Report -

    pls review this video



    Quote t’s official: The Corbett Report is fake news and the most unreliable source in the media. So says Le Monde and dozens of other “fake news checking” websites that are telling the masses what to think, and what they shouldn’t even look at in the first place.
    I wouldn't use the corbett report as providing anything useful, except except recognizing it as carefully skilled NLP, carefully designed to guide "Alt News" and conspiriacy theorists, and keep them carefully compartmentalized with a "belief system" whereby their actions will be easily predictable. ref: http://blog.banditobooks.com/an-open...james-corbett/

    US Central Command - CentCom report Link: http://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/NEWS-AR...mical-weapons/

    "WASHINGTON, April 7, 2017 — The Syrian airbase targeted in yesterday’s U.S. missile strike is believed to be where Syrian President Bashar Assad regime aircraft took off for a deadly chemical attack against civilians earlier this week, senior military officials speaking on background told reporters at a Pentagon briefing today.

    A battle damage assessment image of Shayrat Airfield, Syria, following U.S. missile strikes delivered by the USS Ross and USS Porter Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, April 6, 2017. The U.S. fired 59 Tomahawk missiles into Syria in retaliation for Syrian President Bashar Assad regime’s use of nerve agents to attack his own people.

    The U.S. military action is meant to "deter the regime from using chemical weapons and so the proportionality is measured against that outcome," an official said. "We do not believe it's acceptable for the Syrian regime to use chemical weapons."

    According to the Pentagon, hundreds of civilians were killed or injured in the April 4 chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria.

    The two senior military officials who spoke to reporters at the briefing said the Shayrat Airfield in Homs governate in Syria that was targeted by the U.S. strike has a "history" of having chemical weapons stored there.

    An official said there is "high confidence" the airfield is where the Syrian regime’s aircraft took off for the April 4 attack.

    'Proportional Response' to Deadly Chemical Attack

    The United States also believes that a nerve agent like sarin was used in the chemical attack against the civilians, an official said.

    In response to the attack, under the orders of President Donald J. Trump, the U.S. military conducted a cruise missile strike yesterday in Syria, the officials pointed out.

    The U.S. strike was a "proportional response" to the chemical attack, the officials said. The airfield is in an isolated area and the strike was conducted in the early morning hours in Syria, to minimize the risk to civilians, according to the officials.

    The U.S. was not tracking the airfield as an active chemical site, an official said, but the military did take precautions not to hit anything that could possibly lead to the inadvertent release of chemical munitions or chemical substances.

    Syrian and Russian forces operate at that airfield, they noted. The United States notified Russia ahead of the strike, to avoid any possible misinterpretation, the officials explained.

    Fifty-nine Tomahawk missiles each struck a target on the airfield, they said.

    The U.S. military action is believed to have destroyed approximately 20 aircraft, the officials said. Other damage includes the destruction of surface-to-air missile systems, and the destruction or damage of targeted hangars, an official pointed out.

    Hospital Struck After Chemical Attack

    Shortly after the regime's chemical attack, a small, unmanned aerial vehicle -- "either [Syrian] regime or Russian" -- was seen over the local hospital as victims were being rushed there for care, an official said.

    "About five hours later, the UAV returned and the hospital was struck by additional munitions," an official said.

    The official pointed out the site is clearly a hospital. The United States is interested in finding out who would strike that site and why, the official said.

    Russian 'Failure' to Control Syrian Activities


    At a minimum, an official pointed out, the Russians "failed to control the activities of their Syrian client." Moscow had pledged after a Syrian chemical attack in 2013 that it would guarantee the removal and elimination of Syria's chemical weapons capabilities.

    "We've seen Russian failure to stop the regime from barrel bomb campaigns and campaigns against innocent civilians, especially in Aleppo, but really across the opposition held areas in the country," the official said.

    The official noted the United States is assessing all the information and could not "clearly say here in this forum what kind of participation the Russians might have had" in the chemical attack or associated activities."

    Syria has been reported to be assisting N. Korea with reactors. Syria has been supported by the Soviet Union and Russia (later). Syria is listed as a nation supporting terrorism.

    Ignoring "James Cobertt" seems like a useful exercise to keep one's mind from being NLP'd it seems to me. Many swear that he is the "alt media messiah".. OK, not me tho. I guess I am not into being programmed, not certainly by NLP.

    he's certainly one of the easiest to fact check, super diligent about sourcing his info & his "crowd sourced" investigations are inspiring if nothing else.


    Check out this video, great research and exposure on the syria topic (video should start at 9:56) and fake news


    talks about fake news, talks about how it permiates a lot and talks about syria.. for about 4 min.

    I just came across the Rep to the UN from Netherlands . He tweeted this https://twitter.com/KvanOosterom/sta...55280543510528

    It is a document claiming that tests from the chemical attack indeed come back as sarin or sarin like substance.

    It doesnt seem to point fingers at anybody from my reading of the document. It merely states who they talked to, even noting that they didnt talk to the unconscious people as they were unable to field questions(which is interesting they felt the need to point this out). I still question how the people on the films and in the pictures did not take measures to protect themselves, or maybe they were told it was safe and it really was sarin done by someone, which I still dont think there is any benefit to Assad to do this so I dont think it was likely them at all, especially given the international control that stepped in the last time this happened under Obama(which watching lavrov come in after John Kerry said the now infamous statement that let syria get out of the war path was impressive).

    Excerpts from Politik's article, Trump's Red Line, by Von Seymour M. Hersh (June 25, 2017).

    Quote The available intelligence made clear that the Syrians had targeted a jihadist meeting site on April 4 using a Russian-supplied guided bomb equipped with conventional explosives. Details of the attack, including information on its so-called high-value targets, had been provided by the Russians days in advance to American and allied military officials in Doha, whose mission is to coordinate all U.S., allied, Syrian and Russian Air Force operations in the region.

    Some American military and intelligence officials were especially distressed by the president's determination to ignore the evidence. "None of this makes any sense," one officer told colleagues upon learning of the decision to bomb. "We KNOW that there was no chemical attack ... the Russians are furious. Claiming we have the real intel and know the truth ... I guess it didn't matter whether we elected Clinton or Trump.“

    Within hours of the April 4 bombing, the world’s media was saturated with photographs and videos from Khan Sheikhoun. Pictures of dead and dying victims, allegedly suffering from the symptoms of nerve gas poisoning, were uploaded to social media by local activists, including the White Helmets, a first responder group known for its close association with the Syrian opposition.

    The provenance of the photos was not clear and no international observers have yet inspected the site, but the immediate popular assumption worldwide was that this was a deliberate use of the nerve agent sarin, authorized by President Bashar Assad of Syria. Trump endorsed that assumption by issuing a statement within hours of the attack, describing Assad’s "heinous actions" as being a consequence of the Obama administration’s "weakness and irresolution" in addressing what he said was Syria’s past use of chemical weapons.

    To the dismay of many senior members of his national security team, Trump could not be swayed over the next 48 hours of intense briefings and decision-making. In a series of interviews, I learned of the total disconnect between the president and many of his military advisers and intelligence officials, as well as officers on the ground in the region who had an entirely different understanding of the nature of Syria’s attack on Khan Sheikhoun. I was provided with evidence of that disconnect, in the form of transcripts of real-time communications, immediately following the Syrian attack on April 4.
    Quote The Execute Order governing U.S. military operations in theater, which was issued by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provide instructions that demarcate the relationship between the American and Russian forces operating in Syria. “It’s like an ops order – ‘Here’s what you are authorized to do,’” the adviser said. “We do not share operational control with the Russians. We don’t do combined operations with them, or activities directly in support of one of their operations. But coordination is permitted. We keep each other apprised of what’s happening and within this package is the mutual exchange of intelligence. If we get a hot tip that could help the Russians do their mission, that’s coordination; and the Russians do the same for us. When we get a hot tip about a command and control facility,” the adviser added, referring to the target in Khan Sheikhoun, “we do what we can to help them act on it." “This was not a chemical weapons strike,” the adviser said. “That’s a fairy tale. If so, everyone involved in transferring, loading and arming the weapon – you’ve got to make it appear like a regular 500-pound conventional bomb – would be wearing Hazmat protective clothing in case of a leak. There would be very little chance of survival without such gear. Military grade sarin includes additives designed to increase toxicity and lethality. Every batch that comes out is maximized for death. That is why it is made. It is odorless and invisible and death can come within a minute. No cloud. Why produce a weapon that people can run away from?”

    The target was struck at 6:55 a.m. on April 4, just before midnight in Washington. A Bomb Damage Assessment (BDA) by the U.S. military later determined that the heat and force of the 500-pound Syrian bomb triggered a series of secondary explosions that could have generated a huge toxic cloud that began to spread over the town, formed by the release of the fertilizers, disinfectants and other goods stored in the basement, its effect magnified by the dense morning air, which trapped the fumes close to the ground. According to intelligence estimates, the senior adviser said, the strike itself killed up to four jihadist leaders, and an unknown number of drivers and security aides. There is no confirmed count of the number of civilians killed by the poisonous gases that were released by the secondary explosions, although opposition activists reported that there were more than 80 dead, and outlets such as CNN have put the figure as high as 92. A team from Médecins Sans Frontières, treating victims from Khan Sheikhoun at a clinic 60 miles to the north, reported that “eight patients showed symptoms – including constricted pupils, muscle spasms and involuntary defecation – which are consistent with exposure to a neurotoxic agent such as sarin gas or similar compounds.” MSF also visited other hospitals that had received victims and found that patients there “smelled of bleach, suggesting that they had been exposed to chlorine.” In other words, evidence suggested that there was more than one chemical responsible for the symptoms observed, which would not have been the case if the Syrian Air Force – as opposition activists insisted – had dropped a sarin bomb, which has no percussive or ignition power to trigger secondary explosions. The range of symptoms is, however, consistent with the release of a mixture of chemicals, including chlorine and the organophosphates used in many fertilizers, which can cause neurotoxic effects similar to those of sarin.
    Never give up on your silly, silly dreams.

    You mustn't be afraid to dream a little BIGGER, darling.

    White House Prepares Another Chemical Weapon False Flag Attack in Syria

    Published on 28 Jun 2017

    SHOW NOTES: https://www.corbettreport.com/?p=23146

    The White House announced on Monday that they are preparing to frame Syrian President Assad for the next chemical weapon attack in Syria, essentially giving the green light to their Al-CIA-da forces to proceed with another false flag event. So who is behind this, what is at stake, and where is the attack likely to take place? Join James for this Thought For The Day as he goes over the latest information on this false flag attack and solicits your participation in an open source investigation.

    On RT there was the suggestion that there is a degree of cooperation between the US and Russia/Syria/Iran regarding location & target information.(information sharing)

    This led to the potential for the western bloc to send the other side a map reference for a building where chemicals had been illicitly stock piled. This could well be what happened last April.

    If they are using this tactic - which could expand to instructing ISIS/Al Nusra to store some deadly chemicals at ALL logistic dumps and operations centres, it gets harder and harder for the Syrian air force to target the foreign terrorists without a repeat incident.

    Effectively this bizarre statement, is acting as a STAND DOWN instruction to the Syrian Air Force. They are being told that they are not allowed to fight foreign sponsored insurgents in their own country. Well then , why not share MORE rather than LESS?

    Why not arrange to give the USA clear information on the locations to be bombed, and the weapons that are going to be used, such as normal explosive bombs? Why not, going further, use USA observers in the Syrian Air Bases to confirm that only conventional ordnance is being loaded onto the planes? Because USA/UK would notify their ISIS allies.

    PRAYING FOR WITHDRAWAL OF ALL WESTERN INVADERS AND FOREIGN JIHADIS FROM SYRIA AND THE DAWN OF PEACE
