When I previously posted on the charade of the chemical weapon attack, I was overly optimistic about Trump, having bellowed loudly and beaten his chest convincingly, would then pull back as he previously intended. I thought linearly, always a mistake in politics or war. Israel has now interjected itself into the conflict.
Israel lobbing missiles in Syria. 16 minutes.
"Last war in the history of mankind", that's what Evgeny Buzhinsky, a former senior Russian general has warned could happen over this latest false flag chemical attack and the subsequent illegal bombing in Syria by one of Amerika's proxies, Israel. (see Below)

Another week speeds by as spring (or fall in the really deep south) unfolds. This week it strikes me how easily we are distracted from understanding our world and situation. Some things seem so obvious. The oligarchs no longer make a secret of their domination. Just a glance at Brazil should make us aware (not to mention Venezuela nor Honduras....or even our own territory of Puerto Rico). The rush to create Russia as an enemy is obscenely obvious as diplomats are expelled across the globe without a shred of evidence. Truthsayers are silenced... Assange blocked from the internet in the embassy and Snowden is exiled to Russia. But like emerging seeds teachers are rising up across our country, students are speaking out, and movements are growing. It is time to escape the bonds of commercial corporate media and help people understand our common condition.
A Kuwaiti newspaper made a dramatic claim over the weekend that got zero attention in the U.S. media.
The largest and most powerful foreign government lobby that legally meddles in American elections opened its annual conference by reaching out to people it has nothing in common with.
Turkey's invasion of the Kurdish areas of Syria was always going to be a threat for the region. Yesterday it happened.
These were back-to-back tweets on today's Syria Live Map.
Israel had bombed Syria around 100 times since the Syrian Civil War started. Yesterday Syria finally got lucky and shot down an Israeli jet.
Israel then responded en mass.
About 20,000 Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv on Saturday against the corruption of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration.
Population of Israel - 8.3 million
Population of Iran - 81 million
Land area of Israel - 8 thousand square miles
Land area of Iran - 636 thousand square miles
Both are self governing independent nations recognized by the United Nations.
Number of Nuclear weapons possessed by Israel - estimated at between 75 and 400
I mentioned the other day how Israel opposed the ceasefire in southern Syria.
However, the statements of Netanyahu this week clarify the situation.
