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

[Mark Kohut]

As I skimmed, I see a "Mark" was addressed. That is another mistake. 

I did not and will not talk with you about this, as I've written.

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.

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/.

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....

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:

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.
