At least 100 dead in suspected chemical attack in Syria

[Mystic Wanderer]

It's really sick when bombs are dropped on a hospital!
Are they trying to strike at those hiding among the innocent, or are they just trying to get the U.S. more deeply involved?

A suspected chemical attack in a rebel-held Syrian town killed 100 people and injured 400 others, a medical relief group said, and some medics treating the wounded were later struck by rubble when an aircraft reportedly bombed a hospital.
A hospital in Syria's northern Idlib province was hit soon after the area was bombarded with a suspected chemical agent, an AFP correspondent reported.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said there were 11 children among the dead. The Syrian medical relief group UOSSM reported that the overall death toll had been elevated to 100, according to Reuters.

As some of you know, I regularly read ISIS rags to gather intel on them. It's become far more difficult of late, as the US Government, for some unfathomable reason, doesn't want that intel on ISIS getting out. My guess is that if we know facts, then they can't shape the narrative, and that bugs them.

This gas attack is a case in point.

I predicted this event last month, on strength of the intel I had gathered from the rag ISIS replaced "Dabiq" with, which they now call "Rumiyah" since they got their asses handed to them in Dabiq, contrary to the alleged predictions of their alleged prophet. Now they seem to have shifted their sights to "ar Rumiyah", which human beings call "Rome".

In "Rumiyah", a regular monthly feature is a "how to" page with instructions to the minions on how to conduct attacks. Previous issues have had a how-to on knife attacks and truck (vehicular homicide) attacks. Last month, instead of a "how to attack", that feature was this:

   

Now, one will notice with just a cursory viewing that this is not a "how to attack", but rather a "how to avoid". It was instruction to the ISIS fighters in the area on how to avoid and react to a planned gas attack, in this case Sarin. Because of that, I told Grace that ISIS was planning a gas attack in Syria, and I told her that just after reading this last month.

Now, here the attack is.

What has really pissed me off is that Nikki Healy was just on TV braying at the UN and blaming Assad instead of the real source of the attack, ISIS. See, if they can keep this info from getting out, THEY get to shape the narrative, and blame it on whomever they like to. They know, as well as I do (and now you), what the actual source of the attack was. It was all there for the reading... except they attempt to keep us proles from reading it now.

Note to Trump administration: get your goddamned shit together and figure out who your enemies are. While you're running around laying blame at the doorstep of folks trying like hell to kill ISIS, you're handing ISIS a victory, and that ain't no damned way to fight a war. You don't win by supporting the enemy and trashing allies against them. You don't win by allowing the enemy to separate you from your natural allies in the fight. You just hand them the keys to a divide and conquer strategy.

DO NOT try to blow smoke up my ass by claiming that you are "fighting ISIS" in Mosul while I can clearly see that you are instead supporting them in Syria. A token resistance for the news channels buried under a mountain of support for the enemy ain't gonna get 'er done.

And blaming RUSSIA for a gas attack in Syria? Seriously? With all those handy-dandy intel agencies, I believe you already know that Russia brokered the deal to get chemical weapons OUT of Syria - makes no sense, nor is it even a little bit logical, to now claim they are complicit in a gass attack there.

Get your goddamned shit together and fight this war like you mean it, or else learn to speak Arabic and wrap your slack ass in a burka before they come for you here.

Note: it appears that the page from last month's Rumiyah turned out pretty dinky instead of big enough to see. Clicking on it ought to rectify that.

Thank you for that information @"Ninurta".

Maybe you should write a letter to President Trump.  Seems Washington could use someone up there who has some brain cells left (after breathing all the chemtrail poison).

Excellent Analysis, Ninurta. 
That's the way to do it, yes and stay one step ahead of these murdering hordes.

[Ninurta]

It's really sick when bombs are dropped on a hospital!
Are they trying to strike at those hiding among the innocent, or are they just trying to get the U.S. more deeply involved?

ISIS is trying to get the US more deeply involved. It's easier for them to kill us on the ground there than it is for them to have to travel here to do it. They've said that all along, that they want us to invade them on their own turf, and use their "prophecies" to predict a defeat for "the Crusaders", of which the US seems to be the chief in their minds, after that invasion. That's what the Dabiq prophecy is all about. The Russians are also classified as "Crusaders" to them, and ISIS hasn't been having all that much success against them. Assad is NOT a "Crusader" to them, he is instead a "Murtadd", in league with the Crusaders, because he opposes their alleged Caliphate in favor of keeping Syria Syrian, and he passed a slew of laws aimed at protecting religious minorities against the Sunni majority. One of those laws outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria because of it's intolerance for any religion that is not fundamentalist Sunni, and it's political ambitions to wrest Syria from Assad and instead rule it with an ISIS style iron fist as a stepping stone to recreation of a caliphate. ISIS is at odds with the Muslim Brotherhood and most of the Syrian opposition on political grounds... it's basically a fight among them for who is going to rule the Caliphate roost - the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, AQ, or a variety of other wannabes.

Assad outlawing the Muslim Brotherhood is what started the Syrian civil war, not any alleged "human rights abuses" that we hear the US, the UN, and all things Left harping on about.

If the hospital was bombed by either Syria or Russia, which is altogether plausible, they were bug bombing to get rid of the roach infestation there. Some times, the good bugs get iced right along with the bad, when the bad ones are intermixed with the good ones. Collateral damage, the cost of doing business with cowards who hide among women and children. Going in house-to-house would be no less destructive on the bystanders, but a lot more destructive on the attacking forces. You win wars by killing as many of the opposition as efficiently as you can while preserving as many of your own as you can.

If the "innocents" don't like that, they can always fight ISIS from the inside. We can air drop them munitions to get the job done. All they gotta do is ask. If they ain't asking for the means to defend themselves, they got no business bitching when they get caught in the crunch with their buddies.

I guess I'm in a bit of a mood today. It's one of those days when telling me the dog ate yer homework ain't gonna get a free pass from me.

Ron Paul: Syrian Gas Attack Was False Flag

Ron Paul has accused the British and US governments of staging a false flag chemical attack in Syria in an attempt to topple President Bashar al-Assad. 

In an interview with defense policy advisor Daniel McAdams, the former Congressman says the alleged chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians, was a blatant false flag by rogue elements within the US government, designed to destabilise the Middle East and thwart ongoing peace talks in Syria.
According to Senator Paul, the attack was orchestrated by sinister forces within big oil, the military industrial complex, and the Deep State. “Big oil and military industrial groups have an interest to continue the war in Syria. [The attack] was probably inspired by sinister forces within the U.S. It looks like it wasn’t an accidental event. It makes no sense that Assad is ready to commit political suicide,” he told McAdams.

Syria war: US launches missile strikes in response to chemical 'attack'

A Pentagon official said about 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from US Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean at a Syrian air base.

In a televised address, President Donald Trump said the base was where Tuesday's attack was launched from.

He called on "all civilised nations" to help end the conflict in Syria.

Dozens of civilians, including many children, died in the suspected nerve gas attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province.

@"senona"  yes perfect timing.
Just after Dinner with China's Chairman Xi Jingping, Trump launches missiles and as Xi and Trump are having an after dinner Cigar, Trump looks Xi in the eyes and Says, Chairman Xi, Now Let Us Talk About N. Korea.

@"senona"  yes perfect timing.
Just after Dinner with China's Chairman Xi Jingping, Trump launches missiles and as Xi and Trump are having an after dinner Cigar, Trump looks Xi in the eyes and Says, Chairman Xi, Now Let Us Talk About N. Korea.

In the last few days, here in Canada, a lot of people were saying that Trump had no actions behind his words, even the media stating ISIS saying that the U.S. is run by an idiot.

Bet a whole lot of people are now going 'oh shit...'

[BIAD]

...Bet a whole lot of people are now going 'oh shit...'

I agree Sol and with a maverick like Trump in the White House, private arms-sales
and brown envelopes full of money won't be the normal manner of solving this!

It's a case of 'Knock it off or else...'

Many of the younger Democrats were worried about having a maniac  in power who
had access to the red button, but with all the crazy bastards around the world flexing
their nuclear muscles and gassing their own, political decorum may not be needed at
this moment!

It's become real.

Looks like the False Flag worked, unfortunately.  

For those who haven't listened to the False Flag video by Ron Paul I posted above in the thread, you should.  It makes absolutely no sense for Assad to attack his own people.  This had to be the Deep State (ISIS) "playing" the U.S. so President Trump would get involved, in my opinion.


It has happened too many times in the past under other administrations, and here we go again...  

But... I could be wrong, if Alex is right...

Russia ups ante by freezing communications with US in Syria

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia reacted to U.S. military strikes on its ally Syria Friday by cutting a hotline intended to prevent midair incidents, a response that demonstrates Moscow's readiness to defy Washington and could even put the two nuclear superpowers on a course toward military confrontation.

President Vladimir Putin signaled he was ready to risk a clash with the U.S. and abandon hopes for mending ties with the U.S. under President Donald Trump, rather than accept the humiliation of standing by while his ally is bombed.

Russia's decision to suspend the hotline established after the launch of the Russian air campaign in Syria in September 2015 effectively means that Russian and U.S. planes could fly dangerously close to each other during combat missions, raising the risk of inadvertent or deliberate clashes in the crowded skies over Syria.

By freezing the information channel between the two potent militaries, Russia is signaling to Washington that it will tolerate no further strikes on Syrian government facilities.

Syria has aging Soviet-built aircraft and air defense missile systems, while Russia has deployed dozens of its cutting edge warplanes and air defense batteries at its base in Syria's coastal province of Latakia. It also has a strategically important naval outpost in the Syrian port of Tartus, which is protected by air defense assets.

Further upping the ante, the Russian Defense Ministry said it will now help strengthen Syrian air defenses.
U.S. officials accused Russia of failing to ensure Syrian President Bashar Assad's commitment to a 2013 deal for the destruction of Assad's chemical weapons arsenal. The U.S. says that arsenal was tapped for a chemical attack that killed dozens of civilians in the Syrian town of Khan Sheikhoun in Idlib province.

Trump cited the chemical attack as justification for the missile strike on a Syrian air base. But the Kremlin insists Assad's government wasn't responsible for the attack, saying civilians in Khan Sheikhoun were exposed to toxic agents from a rebel arsenal that was hit by Syrian warplanes.
"President Putin believes that the U.S. strikes on Syria represent an aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law under a far-fetched pretext," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in a statement. "Washington's move deals a significant blow to Russia-U.S. relations, which are already in deplorable shape."

Until the attack on the Syrian air base, the U.S. had avoided striking Assad's forces for fear of provoking a clash with the Russian military.
The action comes ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's trip to Moscow next week.

The Kremlin initially had been encouraged by Trump's goal of repairing ties with Moscow, which plunged to post-Cold War lows under President Barack Obama, but hopes for a thaw have withered amid the congressional investigation of possible links between Trump campaign officials and Russia. The U.S. missile strike could make it all but impossible to improve relations.

"Some people here thought that it would be easy to deal with Trump," Yelena Suponina, a Moscow-based Mideast expert, said in televised remarks. "No, it will be very difficult. He's not only ready to make tough decisions, he is unpredictable."

Mikhail Yemelyanov, a senior member of the lower house of parliament, warned that the U.S. action raised the threat of a direct clash between Russia and the U.S.

"Consequences could be grave, up to military confrontation and exchange of blows, nothing can be excluded," he said, according to the Interfax news agency.

Tillerson said Russia had "failed in its responsibility" to deliver on a 2013 deal it helped broker to destroy Syria's chemical arsenal.
"So either Russia has been complicit, or Russia has been simply incompetent on its ability to deliver," he said.

By ordering the strike, Trump threatened the military assets of Assad, who has enjoyed Russia's support throughout the six-year conflict. Russia's military has helped turn the war in Assad's favor and Moscow has used its U.N. Security Council veto to protect Damascus from censure.

Mr. G. understands from some friends / associates.
There's Excellent evidence of that murderer using chemical weapons.
But to the World I want to say,,,,,Hey, It is unfair to say that Obama did nothing when they crossed his red line. He totally shook his fist, stomped his penny loafer really hard, and put on his ”Disappointed DaD” face.
BUT, We had an election, elections have consequences. The Wussy in charge is gone. Yes it was a blatant act of aggression,,,,, glad you noticed the foreign policy change,,,Thanks and More to Follow.

BREAKING NEWS: Russian Warship Heading For U.S. Navy Destroyers That Launched Syrian Attack

On Friday, Fox Business reported that a Russian warship has entered the eastern Mediterranean, heading towards the direction of the two U.S. Navy destroyers that were used for launching the missiles on Syria Thursday night. The Russian Frigate has left the Black Sea, gone through the Bosphorus strait and is traveling to the position of the USS Ross and the USS Porter. A U.S. Defense official told Fox News that the Russian frigate, Admiral Grigorovich RFS-494, crossed through the strait “a few hours ago.”

This is a breaking story, we will continue to provide updates.

Wonder how the Liberals and the Clinton News Network (CNN) will find a way to blame Trump for this, after Hillary said this is what she thought needed to happen just before Trump gave the order?    

Hillary Clinton calls for U.S. to bomb Syrian air fields

By Barbara Goldberg | NEW YORK

In her first interview since her stunning presidential election defeat by Republican rival Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton on Thursday called for the United States to bomb Syrian air fields.

Clinton, in an interview at the Women in the World Summit in New York, also called Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election a theft more damaging than Watergate.

Asked whether she now believes that failing to take a tougher stand against Syria was her worst foreign policy mistake as secretary of state under President Barack Obama, Clinton said she favored more aggressive action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

"I think we should have been more willing to confront Assad," Clinton said in the interview, conducted by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.

"I really believe we should have and still should take out his air fields and prevent him from being able to use them to bomb innocent people and drop sarin gas on them."

Clinton noted that she had advocated for a no-fly zone in Syria after leaving government, something that Obama opposed.

Her remarks came two days after a poison gas attack in Syria that killed at least 70 people, many of them children. The U.S. government believes the chemical agent sarin was used in the attack. The United States and other Western countries blamed Assad's armed forces for the worst chemical attack in Syria in more than four years.

Trump said on Thursday that "something should happen" with Assad after the attack, as the Pentagon and the White House studied military options.

I can't verify if this is true, but I'll post it, just in case.   Do your own research.

With all the fake stories our there, unless you have "insiders" to tell you the truth, it's just hard to say what's really going on. 

Syrian "Rebels" Admit Responsibility for Sarin Gas Attack...It was NOT Assad!

Syrian rebels in the Damascus suburb of Ghouta have admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale Gavlak that they were responsible for last week’s chemical weapons incident which western powers have blamed on Bashar Al-Assad’s forces, revealing that the casualties were the result of an accident caused by rebels mishandling chemical weapons provided to them by Saudi Arabia.

“From numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families….many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the (deadly) gas attack,” writes Gavlak. (back up version here).

Rebels told Gavlak that they were not properly trained on how to handle the chemical weapons or even told what they were. It appears as though the weapons were initially supposed to be given to the Al-Qaeda offshoot Jabhat al-Nusra.

“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” one militant named ‘J’ told Gavlak.

His claims are echoed by another female fighter named ‘K’, who told Gavlak, “They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them. We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”

Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of an opposition rebel, also told Gavlak, “My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” describing them as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.” The father names the Saudi militant who provided the weapons as Abu Ayesha.

According to Abdel-Moneim, the weapons exploded inside a tunnel, killing 12 rebels.

“More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government,” writes Gavlak.

If accurate, this story could completely derail the United States’ rush to attack Syria which has been founded on the “undeniable” justification that Assad was behind the chemical weapons attack.


Dale Gavlak’s credibility is very impressive. He has been a Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press for two decades and has also worked for National Public Radio (NPR) and written articles for BBC News.

The website on which the story originally appeared – Mint Press (which is currently down as a result of huge traffic it is attracting to the article) is a legitimate media organization based in Minnesota. The Minnesota Post did a profile on them last year.

Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in providing rebels, whom they have vehemently backed at every turn, with chemical weapons, is no surprise given the revelations earlier this week that the Saudis threatened Russia with terror attacks at next year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi unless they abandoned support for the Syrian President.

“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us,” Prince Bandar allegedly told Vladimir Putin, the Telegraph reports.

The Obama administration is set to present its intelligence findings today in an effort prove that Assad’s forces were behind last week’s attack, despite American officials admitting to the New York Times that there is no “smoking gun” that directly links President Assad to the attack.

US intelligence officials also told the Associated Press that the intelligence proving Assad’s culpability is “no slam dunk.”

As we reported earlier this week, intercepted intelligence revealed that the Syrian Defense Ministry was making “panicked” phone calls to Syria’s chemical weapons department demanding answers in the hours after the attack, suggesting that it was not ordered by Assad’s forces.

UPDATE: Associated Press contacted us to confirm that Dale Gavlak is an AP correspondent, but that her story was not published under the banner of the Associated Press. We didn’t claim this was the case, we merely pointed to Gavlak’s credentials to stress that she is a credible source, being not only an AP correspondent, but also having written for PBS, BBC and Salon.com.
