Why has no one asked for medicine or antidotes around location of alleged Idlib chemical attack - unless the entire event was faked?

This has led many to question whether the entire 'chemical weapons attack' story was fabricated.

A puzzling new development has emerged in the aftermath of the alleged chemical weapons incident in Syria's Idlib Governorate from the 4th of April.

Since the incident, apparently no one in the Khan Shaykhun area in question has asked for any antidotes for exposure to toxic sarin gas, the chemical allegedly deployed on the 4th of April.

Many have consequently questioned whether the images presented of sarin gas victims were entirely inauthentic.

According to the Bolivarian leader, the U.S. government wrote up a coup scenario for opposition leader Julio Borges.

A day before opposition leaders convened more protests in Caracas calling for the ouster of Venezuela's government, the country's leader has accused the United States of working with right-wing leaders towards a coup.

"The U.S. government, the State Department has given the green light, the approval for a coup process to intervene in Venezuela," President Nicolas Maduro said, speaking from the Miraflores Palace.

Maduro said that security forces had arrested an "armed commando group sent by the opposition in order to attack the mobilization called by the right-wing for Wednesday to generate violence and deaths in the country." An investigation has been opened to determine who is behind the plan.

Mad Dog Mattis aims to 'assist' Saudi Arabia in its war on Yemen

James Mattis
Trump's Defense Secretary James "Mad Dog" Mattis signaled to Saudi Arabia that the U.S. is seriously considering a deeper role into the Saudi-Yemen conflict that has devastated the poorest country in the Middle East since the war began in 2015. Mattis made his first trip to Saudi Arabia as the Defense Secretary and of course mentioned Iran's "alleged role" by supplying missiles to the Houthis and how innocent people were being killed. Mattis went on to say:

"It has gone on for a long time, we see Iranian supplied missiles being fired by the Houthis into Saudi Arabia and this is something, with the number of innocent people dying inside Yemen, it has simply got to be brought to an end"


Comment: No mention of the fact that the Yemeni people are suffering and dying at the hands of Saudi Arabia.


Mattis according to Reuters "gave no details on what additional support, if any, the United States would provide to the Saudi-led coalition. But he said he was looking to deepen and broaden the relationship between the two countries on the trip."

Mattis will meet with King Salman and Deputy Crown Prince and Defence Minister Mohammed bin Salman to discuss how both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia will move forward to counter Iran, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks in the region.

Western countries are blocking attempts to investigate the Idlib chemical incident because in the event of a probe it will be established that the "attack" was a false flag and lie, Syrian President Bashar Assad told Sputnik.

The United States and other Western countries block any attempts to launch an impartial investigation into the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria, Syrian President Bashar Assad told Sputnik.

"We formally sent a letter to the United Nations, we asked them in that letter to send a delegation in order to investigate what happened in Khan Shaykhun," Assad said in an interview.

"Of course till this moment they didn't send, because the West and the United States blocked any delegation from coming, because if they come, they will find that all their narratives about what happened in Khan Shaykhun and then the attack on Sha'irat airport was a false flag, was a lie," Assad stressed.

US seeks increased intervention in Yemen - a policy of managed chaos

violence in Yemen
The USA, according to Defense Secretary "Mad Dog" Mattis, he who ordered the use of chemical weapons in Fallujah, Iraq, is about to take a major step towards direct intervention in support of Saudi Arabia's war on the Yemeni people.

According to Jeffrey St. Clair, editor of CounterPunch, this war has already seen 90,000 Saudi airstrikes on Yemen, or one every 12 minutes, 123 a day for two years now. With direct US military involvement, it will only get worse for the USA has been limiting its involvement to fueling, arming and target selection for the Saudi military.

The UN and the international media claim only 12,000 or so deaths in Yemen but this just doesn't add up. If there have been 90,000 airstrikes that means that only one Yemeni is killed for every 8 strikes? They must take us for idiots, or more likely, just too ignorant and brainwashed to know better.

An Israeli settler ran over a Palestinian girl Thursday near the city of Bethlehem, local media reported, citing a security source.

The 13-year-old girl was sent to the hospital, the WAFA news agency said, adding she was in moderate condition.

The incident comes just a day after Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian national after he allegedly rammed into Israeli civilians, also near Bethlehem.

Earlier in the day, Palestine's Foreign Ministry condemned the killing of the alleged rammer, identified as 21-year-old Sohaib Mashahreh, and described him as "a victim of the Israeli army's death game they play against Palestinians."

Tensions between Israel and Palestine have continued to escalate through the years. Currently, Palestinians seek to create an independent state in the West Bank and for the withdrawal of Israel from the Palestinian territories it occupied after the Six-Day War in 1967.

Florida resident Harlem Suarez was sentenced to life in prison for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction obtained from undercover federal agents, and for providing material support to Islamic State.

"The offense is such a serious offense that people need to know that you can't do that," Judge Martinez said in the Key West district court after an hour-long sentencing hearing, imposing the life sentence on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald. "He was talking the talk. He was walking the walk and was in possession of what he thought was a weapon of mass destruction," added the judge.

Suarez's lawyer had asked for a more lenient sentence but Judge Martinez agreed with prosecutors that Suarez should get the maximum term. The 25-year-old was convicted at a trial on January 27 of buying a bomb and plotting to blow up a Florida Keys beach, in allegiance to Islamic State (IS formerly ISIS/ISIL).

Comment: The FBI has a long history of instigating and manufacturing such incidents. If they really wanted to tackle pro-terrorist propaganda, they should investigate the Washington establishment and the lap-dog media, which are much more dangerous terrorist sympathizers.

South Front: Baghdadi captured in northern Iraq? Assad says nope (VIDEOS)

south front
On April 18, a number of media outlets reported that ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, may has been captured in northern Syria. The reports referred to an article appeared at the desiagency.eu website ("European Department For Security And Information") arguing that Baghdadi was captured as a result of the joint efforts of the Syrian and Russian intelligence. Earlier this week, Iraqi Ministry of Defense said in a statement that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was alive and staying in Syria. Despite the media jitters conducted by the story, the report lacks details and looks questionable.


Comment: Assad responded to these rumors today:
"That's not true. Anyway, those borders are under the control of [Daesh] till this moment, it's neither Syrian nor Russian, not even Western or American or any other one; it's only [Daesh] who's controlling those borders, so it's safe for al-Baghdadi to be in that area," Assad said.

A number of media outlets earlier reported that al-Baghdadi had been detained in Syria near the border with Iraq. This information has not been officially confirmed.

A Russian military adviser has been killed in a militant assault on a Syrian government forces camp, the Russian Ministry of Defense has said. The officer, Major Sergey Bordov, was training a Syrian Army unit and was part of a group of Russian advisers.

During the militant attack, Bordov helped establish the defense line and direct the actions of the Syrian Army soldiers, a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense said.

"During the militants' attack, the Russian officer directed the actions of the Syrian soldiers, thus successfully preventing the terrorists from breaching the defenses and entering the camp," the ministry noted. It added that "in the course of the fighting, the officer sustained fatal injuries."

The major will be awarded a decoration posthumously.

Manhunt in progress for CIA 'traitor' who leaked 'Vault 7' to WikiLeaks

The FBI and CIA are investigating hundreds of possible suspects in one of the biggest security breaches in CIA history, CBS News reports. The WikiLeaks "Vault 7" release, which contained thousands of top-secret documents, revealed the agency's hacking tools. A joint investigation and manhunt by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency into the source of WikiLeaks' "Vault 7" dump last month has begun, CBS News justice and homeland security correspondent Jeff Pegues reported Wednesday evening.

The release last month brought to light the CIA's digital arsenal for hacking into computer systems and smart devices such as phones and televisions. Thousands of top-secret classified files that had previously been guarded within a "highly secure section of the intelligence agency," as CBS News sources described it, were made available to the world for free by WikiLeaks.

The source of the leak, the FBI and CIA reportedly believe, was one of the hundreds of agents or contractors who had physical access to the material, not an outside hacker. That suspicion seems to align with what WikiLeaks said in their press release announcing the Vault 7 release on March 7. "The archive appears to have been circulated among former US government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive," the pro-transparency group said.
