UPPDATERING
Idag har hjärntvättsmedia kört stenhårt med att piska upp stämningen med närbilder på sammanbitna Kerry och Obama, och ett inslag med löpande rapportering om ”upptrappningen” av Syrienläget. Och så kom nu ikväll beskedet från Obama att han bestämt sig för en attack, men han vill ha kongressens godkännande och den kommer samman den 9 september. En svensk militärstrateg tror att USA anfaller natten till söndag eller måndag. voiceofrussia.com citerar ”Arab media”, vet inte vilken, som skriver att ”rebellerna” planerar en stor offensiv mot Damaskus samtidigt eller i nära anslutning till en attack från USA. Det påminner starkt om offensiven mot Tripoli i Libyen för ganska exakt två år sen, den nu aktuella gasattacken inträffade den 21 augusti och Tripoli-attacken började runt den 20 augusti 2011 (den som man på ett förvånansvärt öppet sätt uttryckte sin belåtenhet med – foreignpolicy.com)!
Planeras det för en offensiv i samband med missilattacker med hjälp av specialtrupper från väst som förberetts i Jordanien de senaste veckorna?
Christof Lehmann – Putin: Chemical Weapons Claims Utter Nonsense, A Provocation
Russia´s President, Vladimir Putin, has challenged the United States to present “its supposed evidence” to the UN Security Council, calling the idea that the Syrian government has used chemical weapons against its own people “utter nonsense” and the Western tactics “a provocation”.
Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich – Kerry on Syria: The absurdity of certainty
…
Today, while the UN chemical weapons inspectors in Syria are investigating the possible use of chemical agents, US Secretary of State John Kerry put all doubt aside announcing that he has irrefutable evidence that the Assad government is responsible for the use of chemical weapons. Mr. Kerry is of the opinion that since he has the ‘facts’, the UN inspectors have nothing new to offer – after all, ‘the American intelligence community has high confidence’ in its findings. This degree of certainty is simply absurd — or dishonest.
Just det, det som FN-inspektörerna kom till Syrien för att undersöka, de bevis som Ryssland och Syrien sa sig ha om att de väpnade gängen använt kemiska vapen i mars, hann man inte med. Passande nog inträffade den som nu används som ursäkt för ett angrepp dagen efter de anlände till Syrien!
voiceofrussia.com – UN inspectors leave Syria but findings on chemical weapons will take days
8dagar.com – Den stora gasbluffen
(Vi bedömer att oppositionen inte har använt kemiska vapen.)
För att en sådan utsaga ska vara trovärdig måste USA haft vittnen i
varenda minimal rebellgrepp från dag 1. Det är alltid lättare att bevisa vad som har hänt än vad som inte har hänt. Det finns dessutom mängder av uppgifter om att rebellerna verkligen har använt sig av gas.
Press TV – US claims on chemical attack false: Syria
According to the official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), a source at the Syrian Foreign Ministry called earlier remarks made by US Secretary of State John Kerry “based on old stories,” and “full of fabrication and lies.”
The report also said the Foreign Ministry was surprised at Washington’s efforts to “deceive its public opinion in such a naive manner.”
Gordon Duff – Kerry’s case for Syria attack fictitious
They were arrested as reported on all world news sources. However, the source of the Sarin was never revealed, those arrested disappeared and nothing was mentioned again.
However, during this time frame, UN inspectors investigated five episodes of chemical weapon use and were able to conclude that “rebel forces” were responsible.
Secretary Kerry has erased this event from his memory, erased it from his “mosaic.”
“If it doesn’t fit, use a bigger hammer.”
Narrative problems
In order to sound credible, Kerry quoted exact numbers of adults and children killed. Exact numbers always sound best, or so 99.372514% of experts I have questioned tell me.
Sharmine Narwani – Bandar ibn Israel
To punish Hezbollah and weaken its regional allies, the Saudis have used their own alliances in Lebanon to hammer daily at the Shia resistance group’s role in Syria. One easy route is to sow sectarian tensions in multi-sect Lebanon – a tactic at which the conservative Wahhabi Saudis excel. Pitting Sunni against Shia through a series of well-planned acts of political violence is child’s play for Saudis who have decades of expertise overseeing such acts – just look at the escalation of sectarian bombings in Iraq today as example.

The Syrian false flag chemical attack is also déjà vu in another respect. Once again, we find Al Qaeda and its proxies on the same side as Israel and its intelligence services.
There were reports in the Western media that it was Israel’s signals intelligence agency, Unit 8200, which intercepted communications between Syrian government military commanders ordering the chemical weapons attack.
…
The proffering of the Syrian rebel video of dead Syrian children from an alleged government chemical attack suspiciously coincided with the debut of Al Jazeera America on four major U.S. cable television systems.
Al Jazeera, wholly funded by the Qatari emir, a Muslim Brotherhood adherent and supporter of Syrian rebel forces, provided its new American viewing audience with non-stop coverage of the chemical attack, repeatedly re-broadcasting the rebel video.

The Official Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexander Lukashevich has stated that Washington’s statements threatening to use military force against Syria unilaterally are unacceptable.
“Given the lack of evidence, any unilateral military action bypassing the UN Security Council, no matter how limited it is, would be a direct violation of international law and would undermine the prospects for a political and diplomatic solution to the conflict in Syria and will lead to a new round of confrontation and victims,” Lukashevich said.

voiceofrussia.com – Obama has not made decision, considers ‘limited’ military action against Syria
Following a Friday afternoon press conference in which Secretary of State John Kerry said Pres. Assad’s regime used chemical gas last week to kill more than 1,000 Syrian civilians, Obama said he has yet to decide how the US will respond.
rt.com – US intel report stops short of confirming Assad is responsible for chemical attack
Hur gick det med det uppdrag de åkte till Syrien för, att undersöka de bevis Ryssland sa sig ha angående en attack med kemiska vapen i mars i år, att ”rebellerna” låg bakom den? Och hur opartisk kan deras undersökning av den här nya vara då de har varit i händerna på ”rebellerna” hela tiden eftersom de kontrollerar dessa områden?

If the use of chemical weapons on the outskirts of Damascus, Wednesday, August 21, 2013 is likely, the Security Council of the United Nations has not concluded that it was the work of the Syrian government. At an emergency meeting held at the request of the West, the ambassadors were surprised to see their Russian colleague present satellite photos showing the firing of two rounds at 1:35 am from the rebel zone Duma in rebel areas affected by gas (at Jobar and between Arbin and Zamalka ) at times coinciding with the related disorders.

Redan i onsdags kom tecken på en omsvängning i medierna, med kommentarer som uttryckte tveksamhet till ett direkt militärt ingripande. Min gissning är att något bakom kullisserna har hänt som gjort att medierna givits direktiv att ändra i manuskriptet och parlamentet i England tilläts rösta mot deltagande i en attack. Vad skulle det kunna vara? Klara besked från Ryssland och/eller Kina om vad följderna skulle bli (exempel på indikation: ”Global Times, som står nära det styrande kommunistpartiet, hävdar att Washington saknar ett tydligt politiskt mål i Syrien. Tidningen tillägger att om USA-ledda flyganfall sker så blir det nödvändigt för Ryssland och Iran att överväga direkt militär hjälp åt Syriens regim ”)? Eller besked från högsta militärledningen i USA att om order för attack mot Syrien ges, kommer en militärkupp att äga rum i USA?

I debatten medgav Cameron att det inte finns ”tillstymmelse till underrättelser” som gjorde det 100 procent säkert att Bashar al Assad-regimen låg bakom illdådet.

Situationen just nu är mycket besvärlig för krigsanstiftarna. Varken i USA eller något annat västland finns någon entusiasm för att gå i krig.
Naturligtvis finns det tusentals journalister av typ Peter Wolodarski som alldeles för tidigt applåderat Obamas beslut att gå i krig, faktiskt innan han fattat det slutgiltigt.
Så sent som idag skriver Dagens Nyheter på ledarplats att det är rätt att kringgå FN i den här frågan. Dessa journalister har mindre samvetsbetänkligheter än ledarna för världens mest hänsynslösa stormakter.
War Imminent? US ready to decide on Syria strike ‘on its own’
Väldigt mycket handlar om Saudiarabiens roll i Syrien i dagens artiklar.
Detta är väl det närmaste man sett något som kan kallas bevis för vem som utförde gas-attacken förra veckan.
Dale Gavlak and Yahya Ababneh – Syrians in Ghouta Claim Saudi-Supplied Rebels Behind Chemical Attack
…
from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.
Patrick Henningsen – Saudi Prince Bandar’s second attempt at bribing Russia to drop support of Syria
Will it be propped up, or will it be allowed to drop to its true value?
We can’t answer that question yet (who can?), but we are pretty well sure that arms sales reps Barack Obama and David Cameron, along with their trusty sidekicks, John Kerry, John McCain and William Hague – are blowing pure smoke to a mostly naive public regarding Assad and Syria.
Alexander Mezyaev – War as Way to Cover Evidence that West Used Chemical Weapons
I believe there is nothing to be surprised about. There was a certain method the West used to hamper the investigating of the March events, now it is resorting to other ways for the very same purpose. This extraordinary impulsivity to launch a military operation means only one thing: the West is trying to conceal the evidence of its own participation in the use of chemical weapons in Syria…

They realize, I say, their whole system is teetering at the moment, many people have woken up, and so on …
If they can create the Third World War, then put all those people in prison camps, then they won’t be there to influence other people again, basically, and that I think is part of their agenda.

former Russian diplomat Vyacheslav Matuzov called the situation surrounding the chemical attack in Syria very suspicious.
”The situation surrounding the chemical attack in Syria is very suspicious. Russian team has proved through satellite images that rockets were launched from the territory of opposition groups.

Press TV – Obama ‘confused’ about possible attack on Syria
Obama has said Washington has “concluded” that the Syrian government used chemical weapons in an attack near the capital, Damascus, last week and the government of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has to face “international consequences.”
Meanwhile, the US has sent its fifth destroyer to the eastern Mediterranean. The cruise-missile equipped destroyer will join four other warships of the same kind in the region.
Nevertheless, Atzmon says Obama, whom he describes as “not necessarily ethical but definitely a thinking human being,” does not “really want to attack Syria.”
“It is very clear to me that they [US officials] operate because they have to appeal certain lobbies that are pressuring the American administration,” said Atzmon in a phone interview with Press TV on Thursday.
“I’m referring here obviously to the Jewish lobby in America, Jewish lobby in Britain, and Jewish lobby in France,” as well as lobbies “that are operating for Qatar and the Saudis.”

In July, Russian experts submitted reports to the UN detailing how the missiles used in previous chemical weapon attacks were crude and not factory made, and that the chemical components found were not consistent with what the Syrian military has.
The Syrian military has just recently discovered chemical weapons in a rebel tunnel in the Jobar suburb of Damascus, including shells, gasmasks manufactured in the United States, chemical substances of Saudi Arabian origin. Arabic language reports also indicate that a former high-ranking Saudi Arabian member of Al-Nusra Front claimed that the group possessed chemical weapons in a tweet.

Låter sannolikt det Tony Cartalucci säger, att beräkningen är att provocera fram en ursäkt för att även ge sig på Iran. När strategin med att låta köpta legokrigare göra jobbet har misslyckats, får man göra det själva. Och det yttersta målet har hela tiden varit Iran – Real meaning of Syria ”limited strikes”
Western special interests hope that a Syrian response and the death of American and/or Israeli troops – perhaps the sinking of a US ship or the loss of multiple US aircraft – will turn the 9% approval rating for their premeditated assault on Syria into an overwhelming baying for blood across the West’s populations. Failing to elicit a response from Syria, this may be accomplished with false flag attacks, as was the case in the Gulf of Tonkin incident at the onset of the Vietnam War.
Understanding that the intentional endangerment and death of US troops and their allied counterparts is part of initiating an otherwise impossible wider war, inoculates much of an already war-weary Western population from the ”rally around the flag” effect Western special interests are depending on to re-energize their failed Middle East adventure.
Scott Creighton – New York Times Puts Launch Point of Chem Weapons Rockets Inside Rebel Contested Area
Combine that with recent images and video of the FSA “rebels” making and using 120mm mortar rounds in Syria and you have compelling evidence that if chemical weapons were used in Syria, then it was the US backed “rebels” who did it and not the Assad regime.

He also asserted that “the timing of the chemical issue was the result of our Armed Forces’ victories and strikes in Ghouta,” adding that “evidence on the militants’ use of chemical weapons, specifically in Ghouta, are available with us, but we will reveal them in the appropriate time.”
“The first time we called for a UN delegation to visit Syria and witness the evidence on the opposition’s use of chemical weapons; it took them five months to come. In these five months, the opposition attacked Khan Al-Assal, dug the graves of the victims of chemical weapons, and hid their bodies.”

Paul Craig Roberts – Syria: Another Western War Crime In The Making
The US and UK governments have revealed none of the ”conclusive evidence” they claim to have that the Syrian government used chemical weapons. Listening to their voices, observing their body language, and looking into their eyes, it is completely obvious that John Kerry and his British and German puppets are lying through their teeth. This is a far more shameful situation than the massive lies that former Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell claims that he was deceived by the White House and did not know that he was lying. Kerry and the British, French, and German puppets know full well that they are lying.
The face that the West presents to the world is the brazen face of a liar.
…
Indeed, one reason for the rush to war is to prevent the UN inspection that Washington knows would disprove its claim and possibly implicate Washington in the false flag attack by the ”rebels,” who assembled a large number of children into one area to be chemically murdered with the blame pinned by Washington on the Syrian government.
…
The Syrian government, knowing that it is not responsible for the chemical weapons incident, has agreed for the UN to send in chemical inspectors to determine the substance used and the method of delivery. However, Washington has declared that it is ”too late” for UN inspectors and that Washington accepts the self-serving claim of the al Qaeda affiliated ”rebels” that the Syrian government attacked civilians with chemical weapons. See also here.
In an attempt to prevent the UN chemical inspectors who arrived on the scene from doing their work, the inspectors were fired upon by snipers in ”rebel” held territory and forced off site, although a later report from RT says the inspectors have returned to the site to conduct their inspection.

Något som uppges komma från Pepe Escobar på facebook
According to the source, Russia’s ambassador in the UN Security Council, Vitaly Churkin, presented conclusive evidence – based on documents and Russian satellite images – of two rockets carrying toxic chemicals, fired from Douma, controlled by the Syrian ”rebels”, and landing on East Ghouta. Hundreds of ”rebels”, as well as civilians – including those children on the cover of Western corporate media papers – were killed. The evidence, says the Russian source, is conclusive. This is what Lavrov himself was hinting at yesterday. And that’s the reason there’s no UN Security Council resolution against Syria, and why Washington does not want the inspectors to find anything.
Ryssland skulle alltså ha övertygande bevisning om att missilerna i onsdags, som påstås ha innehållit stridsgas, ska ha avfyrats från rebellkontrollerat område. Det förklarar i så fall varför USA/väst har så bråttom att piska upp stämningen och genomföra ett angrepp innan sanningen kommer fram om vad som skedde, och att man försöker tona ner vikten av vad FN-delegationen skulle kunna finna i områdena för attackerna.
Men varför går inte Ryssland ut med detta hårdare i så fall? I det hotfulla läge som råder, innan det är för sent.

I och för sig, det hela handlar till största delen om en teaterföreställning, youtube-videor, påståenden, psykologisk krigföring i medierna och sliskiga tal som Kerrys (som det länkas till nedan), manipulerande, förljugna, ner till minsta ordval beräknande i avsikt att inför medborgare rättfärdiga ännu ett brott mot mänskligheten.
Den skapade cyber-verkligheten är tänjbar och lätt att ändra, men skulle man kunna låta den uppskruvade stämningen lägga sig och undvika en farlig upptrappning av kriget?
En FN-delegation anlände till Syrien för en vecka sedan, för att undersöka bevis om en attack med kemiska vapen som ägde rum i mars i år (och två andra incidenter där det påstods att kemiska vapen hade använts). Syriens regering menar att de väpnde gängen låg bakom den, och Ryssland sade sig ha bevis för det. Just då, på onsdagsmorgonen förra veckan, inträffar då händelsen som beskrivs som en omfattande kemisk attack i en förort till Damaskus. Vad som verkligen hände är fortfarande mycket osäkert. Precis som det varit under hela konflikten handar det mycket om youtube-videor som påstås visa på grymheter från syriska regeringens sida. Av de nu aktuella tycks vissa vara uppladdade innan attacken ägde rum, och de skulle kunna vara producerade på annat håll i förväg.
Plötsligt har FN-delegationens ursprungliga uppdrag flyttats till bakgrunden, och när de igår beger sig till områdena för förra veckans händelser (som kontrolleras av de väpnade gängen) blir de beskjutna. USA tycker att FN-personalen ska vända om och ge upp! Men de skaffar en ny bil och fortsätter sitt uppdrag. USA/väst har också sagt att det gått för lång tid för att eventuella bevis ska ha någon avgörande betydelse! Nog ser det ut som de är lite ängsliga att det ska avslöjas vad som egentligen skett. Men de litar fortfarande på att de ska kunna styra vilken verklighetsbeskrivning som gäller med hjälp av media- och hjärntvättsmaskinen.
Så, om man förutsätter att det som pågår handlar om en false flag-operation (som det nästan alltid gör när man vill starta krig) och USA/väst av någon anledning skulle vilja backa, kan man det? Jag menar, man har byggt in sig i ett så högt torn av lögner att man kanske inte har någon annan möjlighet än att fortsätta den vansinniga vägen framåt, mot ett krig som kan utvecklas till ett storkrig, ett hot mot den mänskliga civilisationen. Annars skulle det avslöjas att de väststödda väpnade gängen ligger bakom en attack med kemiska vapen, och västmakterna är inblandade i brottet, från organisationer som CIA/Mossad och liknande, till politiker och medier.
Skulle man kunna komma överens med Ryssland om att det inte gick att reda ut vad som egentligen hände förra veckan?
Fler kommentarer om Kerrys tal igår – Scott Creighton – The Moral Obscenity of John Kerry’s Chemical Weapons Speech
In light of the fact that the UN inspectors did not turn tail and run as they were supposed to, Sec. of State Kerry gave a rather ridiculous speech in an effort to turn up the heat on Syria and create a rush to go to war.
And now, the speech itself (video below):
For his performance (and that’s all you can call it) Sec. Kerry summed up all of the righteous indignation he could muster as he spewed forth one of the most stunningly hypocritical and morally vapid monologues I have heard in recent times

“We are urging our American colleagues and the entire international community to yield to reason and act in strict compliance with international law and the founding principles of the UN Charter,” the diplomat said.

Lavrov warned against the NATO threat of military action against Syria without a UN mandate, stressed the build-up of military force against Syria and stated that a military aggression would be illegitimate and that it would be a terrible mistake.

Det är mycket obehagligt att se hela den här skapade föreställningen bara fortsätta. Det är faktiskt inte acceptabelt längre att som medborgare och mediakonsument av bekvämlighet fortsätta att låta sig ledas och hypnotiseras av medierna. Dessa är i händerna på de mörkrets makter som har manövrerat in händelserna till ett läge där ett storkrig ser ut att vara nära!
nyhetsbanken.se – Uppgiven Lavrov vädjar till förnuftet
Lavrovs viktigaste budskap var att Ryssland motsätter sig dessa länders ståndpunkt att vid ett visst resultat av FN-inspektörernas undersökningar i Ghouta, Nato-länderna skulle få fria händer att gå till angrepp.
Enligt Lavrov är det inspektörernas uppgift att fastställa användningen av kemiska stridsmedel och typen av dessa, men slutsatserna av detta i vart fall måste förbli säkerhetsrådets prerogativ.
Lavrov redogjorde utförligt för de olika initiativ som tagits under de senaste två och ett halvt åren för att desarmera konflikten, men hur dessa systematiskt skjutits i sank.
Christof Lehmann – Lavrov warns against NATO Military Action as UN Inspectors were Targeted by Snipers
“Official Washington, London and Paris say they have incontrovertible evidence that the Syrian government is behind the chemical attack in Damascus, but they have not yet presented this evidence. Yet, they keep saying that the ‘red line’ has been crossed. Now, we are hearing calls for a military campaign against Bashar Assad.”
Lavrov stressed, that the USA, UK and other countries have “assembled a powerful force and are readying their ships and planes for a possible invasion”. The Russian Foreign Minister warned, that the development has set the world on a “perilous path” and that “repeating the Iraqi and Libyan scenario” and bringing in outside forces “would be a terrible mistake that will lead to more blood being spilled”.
The Russian Foreign Minister was particularly “outraged” over “the newly-mooted possibility of NATO staging a strike on chemical storage facilities without UN mandate”. Asked whether Russia was going to join the potential conflict on either side, Lavros replied:
“We have no plans to go to war, but we hope that others think of long-term interests”.
8dagar.com – Krighysteri – Kerryretorik
Man beskrev först det inträffade i Syrien som en ”moralisk obscenitet”… i en lång harang, följt av ordet ”undeniable” (omöjligt att förneka). Oklart VAD som inte går att förneka.
Istället för att säga att det finns KLARA BEVIS för Vita husets påståenden, sa han att de som tror att den versionen är FABRICERAD måste granska sin egen moral.
Dvs. på ett skickligt sätt förflyttas bevisbördan till eventuella kritiker.
…
Och – lyssna nu – eftersom FN-inspektörerna i alla fall bara kommer att kunna ta fram ”additional evidence” (ytterligare bevisning) är deras resultat inte avgörande för världens reaktion. FN-inspektörerna kan alltså hoppas över… för att skrida direkt till THE VERDICT (domen) och den avkunnas tydligen av USA.
Kerrys presskonferens vittnar om den krigshysteri som piskats upp efter uppgifterna om en gasattack i Ghouta 21 augusti.
Mycket talar för att händelserna i Ghouta och den efterföljande mediahysterin ingår i en väl förberedd plan.
Press TV – Kerry: Syria use of chemical weapons ‘undeniable’
”The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and – despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured – it is undeniable,” he told reporters.
…
Russia, however, has warned Western countries about the military strike.
In a phone call with Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday night, Russian President Vladimir Putin insisted that there was no evidence who was responsible for the chemical attack.
“President Putin said that they did not have evidence of whether a chemical weapons attack had taken place or who was responsible,” the British government spokesperson said.
Frågan är alltså fortfarande, hur mycket av det som påstås ha hänt, har verkligen inträffat? Som tidigare sagts, videor kan ha producerats i förväg på annat håll, och bilder på döda kroppar kan komma från andra tillfällen.

– Ingen av de människor som behandlar de skadade eller fotograferar dem har någon form av skyddsutrustning, och trots det verkar ingen vara skadad.
Redan detta utesluter de flesta typer av kemiska vapen, inklusive den stora majoriteten av nervgaser, eftersom dessa ämnen inte avdunstar omedelbart, särskilt inte om de användes i tillräckliga mängder för att döda hundratals människor, utan lämnar snarare föroreningar på kläder och organ som skulle skada den som kommer i oskyddad kontakt med dem i timmar efter en attack.
Dessutom säger USA-experten att ”det inte finns några andra tecken man väntar sig att se i efterdyningarna av en kemisk attack, såsom allvarliga synstörningar, kräkningar och förlust av tarmkontroll.”
…
Forskarna förbryllas också av tidpunkten för attacken, att den inträffade på exakt samma dag som ett team av FN:s inspektörer var i Damaskus för att utreda tidigare påståenden om kemiska vapen. Det är också oklart vad taktiska mål den syriska armén skulle ha försökt uppnå, då den under de senaste veckorna har lyckats pressa tillbaka rebellerna som inkräktade på de centrala delarna av huvudstaden.

Tony Cartalucci – Defeated NATO Dangerously Desperate in Syria
While absolutely nothing adds up across the West’s corporate media networks, one story that does add up is the claim by Syrian troops that terrorist tunnels have been discovered containing chemical agents – as reported in Reuters’ article, ”Syrian soldiers enter rebel tunnels, find chemical agents: state TV.”
What we are now witnessing is an attempt by the West’s corporate-financier establishment to push for direct intervention faster than the facts can come out over what exactly happened near Damascus. Just as was the case in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, the West hopes people can be made hysterical enough, long enough, to get a ”foot in the door,” so the bombs can start dropping. Failing to do so at this juncture would spell the absolute end of the West’s current plans versus Syria and Iran – and so however tenuous and discredited this latest plot may seem, expect dangerous desperation from the West.
Now more than ever, Syria and its allies must be prepared to defend against provocations both militarily and diplomatically.

Al-Zoubi stressed that if any chemical weapons were used in areas including Jobar, then they were used by members of terrorist groups and the foreigners who operate with them and constitute the true basis of these groups and who showed no scruples in committing any act.

Arab sources suggest that the US and Western missions had received the real story of chemical weapons. The story wasn’t officially distributed, but it is supported by Russian documents and satellite images of the battlefield, and Ghouta.
According to sources, the Russian delegation presented the documents during a UNSC meeting Friday. During the meeting, the Americans did not file any documents that contradict the Russian documents, given that the US satellites have come to similar conclusions: the opposition had fired the chemical rockets.
This comes as the Syrian representative to the United Nations Bashar Jaafari returned quickly from Damascus to New York on to provide the evidences that support the Russian stance.

”If the US goes in and attacks another country without a UN mandate and without clear evidence that can be presented, then there are questions in terms of whether international law supports it.

For the Syrian government, however, the calculus is entirely different. Using chemical weapons would simply hand the United States a pretext to more muscularly intervene in Syria’s internal affairs. Since this is decidedly against Damascus’s interests, we should be skeptical of any claim that the Syrian government is defying Obama’s red line.

Allt fler indikationer pekar mot att det var ”rebellerna” som genomförde gas-attacken. Uttalande av Jan Eliasson på Sveriges Radio, han som igår sa att ”rebellerna” kontrollerar de områden där attackerna ägde rum – ”hittills har säkerhetsrådet inte kunnat enas om något skarpt fördömande och det är heller inte klart att FN:s inspektörer kommer att få ta de prover som krävs” – Han säger att FN-delegationen är i Syrien för att undersöka tidigare påstådda gas-attacker, men att situationen nu är en annan. Kanske är det så att det finns starka bevis på att rebellerna använde sådana i mars. Var det så att man gjorde en våghalsig satsning med det dubbla syftet att flytta fokus från den tidigare attacken och istället hamna i ett läge där regeringen står anklagad!?
Och hur mycket är verkligt och hur mycket är en teaterföreställning av det som skett? Även de svenska knähundsmedierna är noga med att uttrycka sig som – ”de påstådda attackerna” – ”bilder som visar döda barn” – för att kunna försvara den massiva media-offensiven om den kritiseras, med att man inte uttryckt sig som att man vet säkert vad som hänt.

The Damascus chemical attack accusations indicate the launch of “another anti-Syrian propaganda wave” and, in this context, the calls on the UN Security Council to immediately use force in Syria “heard from some EU capitals” are “unacceptable”, Lukashevich said.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Assad’s government has demonstrated a “constructive approach” to the chemical weapons issue by allowing UN experts into the country.
But it’s alarming that the “same signals” aren’t coming from the Syrian opposition, which so far hasn’t displayed willingness to ensure the safety and efficient operations of UN investigators on the territory it controls, he said.

The reports, which began with a “Tweet” on Al-Arabiya, spread like wildfire. The Syrian “opposition” handed out “photo handouts” to international journalists. Journalists from RT and nsnbc, who were contacting local residents, could not confirm the use of chemical weapons. The Syrian government and military reject the claims.
Real or alleged, large scale chemical weapons attacks have been forecast by nsnbc international on 7 July, after an intelligence source with close ties to a Syria based Palestinian faction warned that such attacks would be part of a planned, major political and military campaign against Syria in August and September 2013.

No advantage for the Government, every advantage for the ”opposition”.

Enligt Engdahl tog syriska armén i maj kontrollen över de områden där attacken med kemiska vapen ägde rum igår. Det borde innebära att det underlättar för syriska myndigheter att reda ut vad det var som hände. Kanske just därför som Ryssland säger (se gårdagens inlägg nedan) sig ha indikationer på att det var en missil (eller flera) avfyrad av rebeller som användes igår. Och det kanske är därför som det här beskedet kom efter mötet i FN igår kväll – ”Säkerhetsrådet kom inte med något direkt krav på att FN:s vapeninspektörer ska få undersöka saken på plats.” – kanske Ryssland lade fram övertygande bevis som pekar mot rebellerna?

Ingen kan väl tro på att syriska armén skulle ha utfört den fruktansvärda attacken med kemiska vapen idag!
Just som FN-inspektörer har anlänt för att på syriskt och ryskt initiativ undersöka om kemiska vapen har använts tidigare. Ryssland menar sig ha starka indikationer på att ”rebellerna” använde sådana vid en attack i slutet av mars, då ca 25 människor dog. Det kan inte ses som annat än ett tecken på stor D E S P E R A T I O N hos de ofattbart grymma makter som ligger bakom kriget genom ombud mot Syrien att komma med en sådan här false-flag-operation i det här läget. För som sagt, om inte president Al Assad plötsligt blivit helt galen och i ett läge där syriska armén en längre tid haft framgångar i kampen mot de väpnade gängen och med FN-inspektörer just anlända till landet, skulle genomföra en attack med kemiska vapen, just det som landets fiender tjatat om i över ett år att skulle kunna vara det som skulle få dom att ingripa direkt militärt, så måste man förutsätta att det var ”rebellerna” som iscensatt massakern. Precis som man gjort flera gånger tidigare inför FN-möten t.ex.
Och som talespersonen för ryska utrikesministeriet säger, så pekar även mediareaktionen hos medier i Syrienfientliga länder på detta. Det var en omedelbar mediakampanj med anklagelser mot Syriens ledning som drogs igång.
Ryssland menar sig också ha uppgifter om att de kemiska vapnen avfyrats av rebellerna med samma typ av missil som användes vid attacken med kemiska vapen i slutet av mars.
voiceofrussia.com – Chemical warhead targeted eastern suburbs of Syria’s Damascus – Russian Foreign Ministry
”Early morning of August 21, a homemade rocket carrying an unknown chemical warfare agent was launched on the eastern suburbs of Damascus. The missile resembled the rocket which was used by the rebels on March 19 in Khan al-Asal,” said Lukashevich.
”Moscow believes it is important to carry out an objective and professional investigation of what happened”, the diplomat continued. ”It looks like an attempt to create a pretext for the UN Security Council to side with the opponents of Assad’s regime and thus undermine Geneva-2 talks which are now scheduled for August 28”.
”Once again we urge all those who have the opportunity to influence the armed extremists to make every effort to put an end to provocations with the use of chemical agents,” Lukashevich asserted.
Noteworthy is the fact that ”the biased regional media immediately, as if on demand, began an aggressive information attack, placing the responsibility for the attaks on Assad’s government. All of this can only suggest that we are dealing with a pre-planned provocation,” Lukashevich sttaed.
voiceofrussia.com – Chemical weapons use in Damascus: ‘only a fool can believe it’ – expert
”We, in Syria, were very surprised this morning to hear the news of a chemical weapons attack. Sky News, al-Arabiya, al-Jazeera and other TV channels were sort of playing catch-up, each trying to outdo the others in posting more casualties. First, one TV channel said that 60 people had been killed, then another said that there were more than a hundred deaths, the third put the figure at 500, and then the first channel reported 600, and so on and so forth. These things have happened before. As soon as international experts come to Syria, a massive media attack is launched.
The question is whether the Syrian government is as silly as to use chemical weapons the very moment UN chemical weapon experts arrive. Only a fool can believe it. Each time, 24 hours before UN experts are due to arrive, militants put on Syrian army uniforms and start attacking civilians somewhere. They shout threats at civilians in front of cameras and later post the footage on the Internet. It’s a very naïve trick, but some people believe it or pretend to believe.
As for chemical weapons, in an interview with Sky News a year and a half ago, I told them that, according to our intelligence reports, chemical weapons had been shipped to Turkey from Libya. I asked them to publish what I said in order to prevent those weapons from falling into the hands of terrorists. Six months later, militants used chemical weapons against Syrian civilians.”
