The Whys & Wherefores Of This Attack On Assad
I'm thinking the CIA's fingerprints are all over this. False flag operations are their specialty. I'm talking about not just their presence on the ground in Syria, but also their key people in our MSM empires.
A lot of people don't realize that the CIA doesn't just employ James Bond types to do undercover spying in foreign countries; they also have operatives planted in the Pentagon, in the different military branches, and running major corporations in America, including media corporations. (see Fletcher Prouty's The Secret Team)
When LBJ started to escalate the Viet Nam War, there were already 17,000 'advisors' (CIA) in the country trying to manipulate the politics of the country to 'save it from the Communists.' You can be sure that every war/conflict we've been involved in since the Kennedy assassination has relied on the CIA ginning up support for our interventions domestically, through its false flag ops (Tonkin Gulf) and their very significant control of the media. (See Prouty's book linked above)
I'm guessing that in the present situation, after doing their best to get Hillary elected with the whole Russians ruse, it would appear that they decided to force Trump's hand in Syria by setting up this false flag operation, and then having their people (or people of like mind) putting the full court press on Trump to 'do something' right away or suffer through an intolerable firestorm of criticism from the right in the halls of Congress.
Although the CIA is officially under the direction of the executive branch, it is they who actually control whoever becomes President, or else (see JFK). Obama saw the light early on and became a willing servant of those Deep State bastards.
Heaven help us...

The facts will out
I'll add Jimmy Dore's take on the situation -

Thank you also for posting this...
Jimmy Dore's coverage of the false flag issue also needs to be getting a lot of distribution today...and tomorrow...and...
He really is good at communicating the key points.
Much appreciated.

Not for nothing but
the Deep State will do whatever they can to ultimately control us for as long as possible. No false flag is a cry to far for them (September 11th, 2001).
I tend to believe something the late Bill Hicks said about new Presidents.
They take them into a room and show them the JFK assassination. From an angle no one has ever seen before.
Now I know this is likely not true but then it might be. Or it is possible that they have other ways of bringing a new President to heel.
Obama was never going to be everything he claimed. I used to believe that the right person would make a difference. Now, in my mid 50's. I've put away childish things and don't expect it to get any better without a lot of sacrifice and pain.

Yeah, the hopes I invested in Obama...
...didn't last very long. I think the first WTF was his decision to continue the Bush Tax Cuts for the 1%.
He also did a few things I give him credit for, but there haven't been many, and none of them included his F'd up way of handing over more profits and power to the health insurance companies.

@James Kroeger my first WTF with Obama
my first WTF with Obama was when he named Rahm Emanuel his Chief of Staff. It was more an uh un moment.
@James Kroeger Absolutely.
Absolutely.

My first thought was Sy Hersh article from last gas attack
In the last round of the red line and poison gas, Seymour Hersh reported that the sarin gas attack on a Damascus suburb on August 21, 2013 was actually carried out by Syrian “rebel” forces acting at the behest of Turkey, for the purpose of providing a pretext for a US attack on Syria. https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2014/04/07/syri-a07.html
This attack occurs days after the trumpateers announce ISIS removal not Assad's was the goal.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Thanks for posting this
Hersh's articles on the previous 'chemical weapons attack' need to be printed and linked to again and again and again.
After I posted, I thought about doing just that, but here you've added it for me, so thanks again...

@Lookout Why is it that it's Trump
Why is it that it's Trump supporters, of all people, who are the only ones who seem to take a sane view of this matter? As in, if you're going to engage militarily at all, you should be fighting terrorists rather than the head of state of a country that never attacked you or yours? This should be fucking simple.

I agree with you,
AND I would say that our Military is divided between those working mindlessly for the CIA treason and insanity, and those who see how insane those policies are.
It's difficult at any given moment for the American people to understand the difference between these two Military groups. But the saga of Michael Flynn shows us the problem. Just after he became Director of Defense Intelligence in the summer of 2012, the DIA released a report stating that the '"west" will facilitate rise of Islamic State “in order to isolate the Syrian regime.”'
After his firing from the DIA, Flynn in 2016 criticized our policy in the Middle East:
I think Michael Flynn exemplifies the frustration on the part of our Military that hates the neocon policy, and I see his fight with the CIA as illustrative of the war between the two ideologies.
I do tend to agree with you...
...about the idea that the military is divided, though I do think the sane voices are outnumbered in the 'officer corps' by quite a bit.
More generally, I've long felt that most of those in the military are victims...victims of propaganda, victims of poor/insane leadership, victims of the many lies that are told to them. Still, it's really hard to not hate those in high command positions who take positive actions to promote wars that are unnecessary, thereby committing many of those under them to death, or horrible maimings that ruin them physically, for life...
James Kroeger
I completely agree with you
about this, and I have believed it all of my life.
Does it matter if it was a false flag?
False flag, not a false flag, bombing Syria is still not the answer.
Well yeah...
...that's a good point, but it tends to get ignored in the war frenzy environment we're seeing in the halls of Congress today.
A much more sane response would have been to just declare, "We're outta here!" and withdraw completely from what's going on there.
But I guess that would require some very sane people running our government, wouldn't it?
James Kroeger
B.b.but what about the Iraq to the sea pipeline?
We can't let that fall into Assad's hands, can we? Oh, wait, Assad won't let it be built. He should have paid more attention to DAPL.
Or possibly
to have announced that we are rounding up and condemning every arms trafficker and profiteer who has provided chemical weapons to all sides and that we are rounding up and condemning every individual who has funded ISIS and every other militant force.
@gjohnsit Bombing Syria is not the
Bombing Syria is not the answer, regardless, but if our country is engaging in false flag operations, I think it's important to keep that fact in the foreground. It enables us to interpret our country and its policies much more correctly when we include the fact that our country attacks, or pays others to attack, third-party targets so that we can then clutch our pearls and gasp, how horrible. Knowing that that is a staple of American political life changes one's view of American political life forever from what it is when one adopts a literal interpretation of events.

I agree with you
that our response is wrong regardless of whether Assad committed a chemical weapons attack or not. But it does matter whether he did it or not, because the international community may be persuaded that our motive for unilateral, overwhelming brutality in the interests of regime change is based on our love of children, our passionate desire to avenge the child-killer. Without the image of Assad slaughtering innocents, our slaughter of innocents looks bad.
you underestimate the international community
if at all, they are arm-twisted or extorted, but not persuaded.
Well, may be you are right and people still let themselves manipulate through visuals and videos, but I think it's coming to an end. Too much propaganda videos and photos make people numb or apathetic. They sense something is done to them that is sinister, may be not that consciously as you might want, but other than a "oh how horrible, look" as a reaction of people seeing those videos and images and then switching to the next "entertaining" quiz or show, those manipulations have lost their impact. At least I hope so.

The coincidences involved are too much.
It had to have been either directed or made to happen in some way by western intelligence, although there's a Ron Paul thing going around stating he thinks it was Mossad of Israel.
To me, it stretches credulity to think Assad would do this now and that it wasn't a setup, i.e., a false flag of some kind.
There's story going around in the alternative media that Putin said 95% of all terrorist attacks are done by the CIA. When I first saw it I doubted it because my first though was that no, Mossad is involved in more than 5% of those, MI6 also, France's intelligence agency also, Russia has been accused of false flags during it's Chechen war. Other parts of the article seemed off as well. Went back to where I found it and they updated it to say it was fake news. Interesting. We're getting hit from all sides.

Hmmm...
Don't know about Mossad as THE principal organizer/arranger, but I have no doubt that they always have a seat at the table---happily sharing their intelligence and their advice---whenever 'our people' are over there making plans...
James Kroeger
@Big Al I'm not sure there is a
I'm not sure there is a difference anymore between MI6 and the CIA. That special relationship is sure special.
