NP - Chemical Weapons Used in Syria... (or WERE they?)

[Thomas Eckhardt]

Exactly. The White Helmets (founded and trained by "former" British 
officer James Le Mesurier in Gaziantep, Turkey, funded by the UK, the 
US, the Netherlands, Germany, France etc. to the tune of 100 to 200 
million dollars, working only in territory held by Islamists and leaving 
with the Islamists when they are driven out, and always immediately 
present at every alleged atrocity site with their cameras, saving 
children from the rubble TM and even cats as if in a parody of "Wag the 
Dog", except it couldn't be more serious because children and cats 
always work), the Syrian American Medical Society and Doctors Under Fire 
(one of whose directors is Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a "former" 
"commanding officer of the UK Chemical, Biological, Radiological and 
Nuclear (CBRN) Regiment and Nato’s Rapid Reaction CBRN Battalion" who 
writes for the Guardian and Bellingcat and is consulted as an expert by 
everybody and works closely with Ian Panell who directed the 
BBC-"documentary" "Saving Syria's Children" which contains staged scenes 
of atrocity propaganda as documented on 
https://bbcpanoramasavingsyriaschildren.wordpress.com/ where you can see 
the incriminated scene on the top of the page (and if you believe that 
this is authentic, you'll believe anything), and who also trained Syrian 
doctors with regard to CW (taking samples etc.) as early as 2013, 
perhaps even 2012, brought back samples of CW from Syria, analysed them 
and with gravitas assessed the findings which invariably pointed to 
Syrian culpability and still has an office at Porton Down despite being 
retired from service and is the supposedly objective expert on all 
matters concerning CW in the Western Press) are organisations that have 
been founded and are being funded as we speak precisely for the purpose 
of shoveling atrocity propaganda to the Western media who uncritically 
accept it and built the desired narrative.

If we survive this, the media will say that they have been played. This 
is not the case. They are part of the propaganda machine.

But it is not only the media. It is also the OPCW which bases its report 
about Khan Sheikoun in which they say that they are "confident that the 
Syrian Arab Republic is responsible for the release of sarin at Khan 
Shaykhun on 4 April 2017" (this is what Mark Kohut keeps taunting me 
about) mainly on the accounts of eyewitnesses and activists because they 
could not enter the area because the "moderate rebels" would have 
chopped their heads off and also without a chain of custody as it was 
the White Helmets who brought the samples to Turkey which would not hold 
water in any courtroom in the civilized world but seems to suffice to 
risk WW III and all the while not letting the fact that many people were 
admitted to hospitals before the attack took place ("Certain 
irregularities were observed in elements of information analysed. For 
example, several hospitals appeared to start admitting casualties of the 
attack between 0640 and 0645 hours. The Mechanism received the medical 
records of 247 patients from Khan Shaykhun who were admitted to various 
health-care facilities, including those of survivors and a number of 
victims who died from exposure to a chemical agent") about which the 
late, great Robert Parry had something to say in 
https://consortiumnews.com/2017/09/07/a-new-hole-in-syria-sarin-certainty/.

So, fast forward to now: Assad has no motive whatsoever to use CW unless 
he has a secret wish to die with a bayonet up his ass and have some 
psychopath politician in Washington cackle about his death. The only 
counter argument, if you want to call it that, is that Assad is an evil 
dictator and that evil dictators just want to butcher their own people 
and end up with a bayonet etc. because, you know, this is what evil 
dictators do. It does not hold water. As the former ambassador of the UK 
to Syria, Peter Ford, stated: "Assad may be cruel, he may be brutal, but 
he is not stupid." Primary school children understand that....

(To give you some help here, Mark, Juan Cole has a better argument, not 
much better, granted, but not as insulting to the intellect as the one 
that you forward, perhaps you should use that one).

But ok, if the evidence says it was Assad, it was Assad, however insane 
it seems. So, where is the evidence? Videos and "eyewitness accounts" of 
the White Helmets and the SAMS, says Macron, says May, says Merkel, says 
Trump, says the WHO, say the Western media, suffice to bring the world 
to WW III. For a detailed analysis of the videos presented, see:

But of course, Trump didn't need no stinkin'evidence. Although this is 
the first time that OPCW inspectors are able to work on the ground on 
the invitation of the Syrian government, with Russia guaranteeing their 
safety, because the "moderate rebels" have left the scene, the US, the 
UK and France decided to strike before the OPCW investigations even 
started. What kind of person would not be thinking of the prelude to the 
Iraq War? Only Putin and Assad apologists, of course.

The prelude to this was the completely absurd story about Vladimir Putin 
(evil mastermind, lest we forget) sending professional assassins of his 
secret service to Britain in order to kill a retired double-agent, whom 
he could have killed for several years with no repercussions at all in 
Russia but decided for some nefarious reason to keep alive, with the 
most deadly nerve agent the world has ever seen, only to find out that 
the targets, against all odds, survived.

Again: If you believe this, you'll believe everything.

And not only the British government, the whole Western media have been 
lying about this. Obviously.

If anyone wants sources, I'll provide them.
