One last false flag chemical attack in Syria?
Last week the war criminal John Bolton warned Syria against using chemical weapons against the remaining rebel province of Idlib.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday during a visit to Jerusalem, John Bolton said: "We now see plans for the Syrian regime to resume offensive military activities in Idlib province."We are obviously concerned about the possibility that Assad may use chemical weapons again.
"Just so there's no confusion here, if the Syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly and they really ought to think about this a long time," he added.
A few days later Russia said they had proof that the jihadist rebels were planning a false flag chemical attack, and that they have help.
Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement that the jihadist group is "preparing another provocation of the 'use of chemical weapons' by Syrian government forces against the peaceful population of the Idlib province."Russia's military sources claim several chlorine-filled containers had been delivered first to the town of Jisr al-Shughur and then to a nearby village. The ministry also claimed that a private British contractor is helping the rebels stage the attack, according to news agency AFP.
Lately the British have been extremely aggressive in confronting Russia.
Like most of our military adventures since 9/11, the outcome is predetermined, and all that is necessary is the excuse.
The Russian Ministry of Defence said on Monday it had noticed Washington was building up its military forces in the Middle East in preparation for what Moscow feared was a possible strike on Syrian government forces, Russian news agencies reported.
France is also ready to bomb Syria.
Comments
Russia has been all over this and they are making
...constant announcements. Battleships are bearing down on Syria. There is talk of bringing tactical nukes into the area. Syria is in the midst of a peace process negotiation which has been ongoing. The White Helmets have moved into the area where the "bomb" will be detonated.
It's surrealistic. The entire world is watching itself being gaslighted.

Britain concerns me
Their Russiaphobia is as bad as America's now
It makes perfect sense.
1) The empire has been a trans-atlantic, US/UK joint enterprise from the start, and
2) Theresa May's government is in trouble and could use some kind of distraction.

The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.

The White Helmets need better production quality
They should use their CIA connections to get a Hollywood producer.
I hear Harvey Weinstein...
has some time on his hands.
The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?
Did you notice how that wormtongue Bolton
...slipped in the propaganda: "if the Syrian Regime AGAIN uses chemical weapons..."
Informed persons know that there have been no chemical weapons used by Assad during this entire nightmare. All chemical weapons were removed from Syria in 2013 by the Russians after a false flag chemical attack coming from the Turkish border. Russia gave those weapons to the US to destroy. All chemical attacks since then have been attributed, by scientists, to false flag attacks since they do not match Syria's arsenal and happen each time a peace process begins. The US blames Syria.
Just as they blame Russia for invading Ukraine or for meddling in the US elections. Now the US has reached a desperate low, breaking the agreement with Iran, France, and Germany, then last Friday, breaking the agreement with Kim Jong Un.
The Neocon coup government has been in place since April 2017, by my reckoning, after a soft siege that began during the first chemical weapon false-flag attack in Syria. The Pentagon, State, and Justice have been captured. Trump has been sabotaged in his attempted diplomacy in Helsinki and North Korea — but not, of course, in the insanity of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. He must know he is under siege, or perhaps he thinks he is part of the team in a grand conspiracy. Derp. It really doesn't matter because the Deep State is now operating on its own, without authority, and it cannot be stopped.
The worrisome part for me is the final goal — the crushing of Iran and Russia and the complete surrender and capitulation of China forced to throttle its global ambitions. The US plans to permanently ground Eurasia while it stakes a claim to space. From its perch in a newly weaponized space, it can control the actions of all nations.
The Deep State believes this is the only chance it will have to contain the world under its single rule, a goal that was set in 1921 between the US and UK. Events have been running away from them, however. A matrix of unwanted alliances have formed, and grave economic imbalances loom ahead. Dollar hegemony has been slipping, badly. Even though the US media is pushy and shrill, the narratives they are spinning are falling apart. The most gullible Americans are now feeling unsure.

During a ceasefire in Syria that was brokered by
Obama and Putin the deep state broke it and bombed Syrian troops that had been fighting ISIS and had almost retaken an airport when they were bombed by actors that Obama had no control over. I don't remember anything happening to whomever was in charge of it. People were pissed when Obama backed down from his red line.
What good does it do to bomb empty buildings after the false flag event? Besides wasting millions on the bombs? Is that going to happen again after the White Helmets do their thing?
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
The firing of the Tomahawks
Into the Syrian desert made perfect sense to me. That was the moment that Trump committed his first major war crime. Before any evidence was even gathered. Trump was one of them, finally. Even the Democrats called him "presidential." Bombing a sovereign nation unprovoked. That's when the logic of the coup snapped into place, in my mind, at least. That scenario has been solving the equation ever since.
If the US has the balls to sponsor a false flag AGAIN in Syria, and then a US ship fires on Damascus trying to kill the regime, a Russian missile will track that bomb back to the hole it came out of.
And so on.

I'm not worried by that.
I don't think they can do it.
I don't think they have the physical resources to start another war, even with their 700 billion dollar budget. Crushing Iran and Russia ? Forget it. Not that they won't try, but it can't be done.
Also, I'm thinking, hoping, that maybe we're reaching a threshold where US-ians just won't support it anymore. All the veterans know these wars are bullshit. They're all suffering from moral injury to one degree or another. What if they start speaking up ?
Let us hope that the 70 year old USA Victory Culture dies, at long last, with John McCain.

how many have posited
that in their death throes Empires are at their most dangerous...and incoherent, as in: loose cannons?
i still think their may be any number of 'deep states' at play, some in concert, some not. but on syria, iran, a few sub-saharan african nations, and venezuela, they seem to be in accord:
One Ring Rules Then All, save for perhaps a few of Trump's pragmatic generals. as to north korea, i can't quite tell where the amerikan palace coups may originate.
This is just a personal opinion
but I think that if Hillary had won Theresa May planned to start WW3, but the Royal Navy failed a missile test and Hillary lost. (hence the Skripal "poisonings")
On to Biden since 1973
FUKUS
Sure seems hell bent on starting a war that will probably become WW3. Fuck us indeed.
OT: Europe moving away from NATO
Trump is killing NATO
Good ...
Give the Devil his due. Somebody should have killed NATO a long time ago. And, dammit, Hillary is crooked.

Will Iranians be blamed for the chemical attack?
Just speculation. But American neocons and Netenyahu have both been itching to attack Syria over prescence of Iranian troops and Hezbollah. Blaming Iran will give them a reson for an full on assult on the Syrian government. I don't see an actual invasion as neither group wants to put troops on the ground, rather, relying on ISIS and Al Queda as their proxies, but keeping them from going extinct as a major threat which appears to be happening since the Russians came in.
Russia and Iran are the only nations
...that are legally in Syria. The rest are breaking international law and committing war crimes.
Today, I believe, Syria, Russia, and Iran signed a formal agreement that states as much and stating that they were there at the invitation of Syria to help in her defense against foreign attackers.

I wish O didn;t feel like this is primed to be an October
or September surprise for the elections, but we have been played so often before and I know so many people who are just convinced Assad likes to use chemical weapons, even when it has t no benefit for him and his regime, because of our media coverage. You cannot reason with people who react emotionally to even hearing his name.

your thread on syria seems more likely to stay alive than mine,
and even though i've been updating it, i'll try to provide a few things.
b at MOA had provided a link that said that there are now about 20 russian ships in the eastern meditteranean.
and bill van auken at wsws.org’s coverage had noted this:
“Iran has rejected US and Israeli demands that it abandon Syria, insisting its forces have been invited into the country by the government in Damascus, unlike the 2,200 US troops there, which have been deployed in direct violation of international law.
Iran’s Defense Minister Amir Hatami and his Syrian counterpart announced on Monday the signing of a “defense and technical agreement” that provides for the continued “presence and participation” of Iran in Syria.”
and FWIW: ‘Syrian War Report – August 28, 2018: US Creates Strike Force To Attack Syria’, southfront.org
a lot we’d already known, but:
”On August 25, a source close to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) told the Kurdish news outlet Bas News that the US-led coalition began deploying radar stations at its bases in the governorates of al-Hasakah and Aleppo as part of a new plan to increase its control of Syrian airspace. The report pointed out the airbases in Kobani and Rmelan as places where the radars were installed. The US 727 Expeditionary Air Control Squadron is reportedly involved in this effort.
Meanwhile, clashes between the Syrian Army and ISIS continued in the area of al-Safa where at least one vehicle of the terrorist group was destroyed. However, ISIS resistance in the desert is still strong enough to draw Syrian military resources from other important frontlines.
In the Idlib de-esclation zone, militants feeling the support of the so-called international community have increased their preparations for the battle against government forces. An important part of these preparations are arrests and abductions of civilians, public figures and field commanders who would probably support peaceful negotiations with Damascus.”
and of course the 'repositioned' B-1B Lancer strategic bomber to an air base in Qatar would be in a prime place to...threaten ? iran.
