Trump Productions: The Khan Sheikoun Show

The "chemical attack" at Khan Sheikoun was faked and a show; though a number of people were killed or hurt during its production.

This video for example, of doctors and patients in an emergence room was pure theater, taken over a longer time period. The main presenter was a well-known criminal Takfiri but with links to the British secret service. The whole show was perfected, by specialists one would think, to fit for U.S. TV screens.

There were no scenes, zero in all the coverage, that showed casualties in places where they were surprised by gas and died. No basement was searched, no place of work or living was shown - only rescue centers. The male "victims" were clean shaven, despite living in al-Qaeda land. They even had two blond "Syrian" kids in there (vid) to convince the racist constituency that "revenge" was needed and just. A cut right out of Wag The Dog (vid). It is now racist to object to the war!

Egypt condemns US airstrikes on Syria, then ISIS blows up two Christian churches - Dozens dead and wounded

At least 21 people were killed and 38 injured in a bomb explosion inside a church in Egypt's Tanta, north of Cairo, AP reports, citing the head of the provincial ambulance service, Magdi Awad.

The number of casualties could be as high as 25 killed and 60 injured, Reuters reports, citing state TV.

Egyptian officials have confirmed that the incident was a bomb explosion, according to AP. The explosive device was pre-planted in the prayer hall, according to Al-Manar broadcaster.

"There was a huge explosion in the hall. Fire and smoke filled the room and the injuries were extremely severe. I saw the intestines of those injured and legs severed entirely from their bodies," Reuters quoted Vivian Fareeg as saying.

Graphic images and footage presumably from inside the church have emerged, showing people gathered around apparently lifeless bodies.

Comment: It is quite clearly no coincidence that Egypt got two major terror attacks the morning after its government condemned US airstrikes against the Syrian airbase.

'ISIS' is no religious army - it's a Western mercenary terrorist group.

Pentagon Gave Israel Front Row Seats to US Missile Strikes in Syria

Bibi
VIP
Israel's intelligence minister said Tel Aviv was given box seats for Trump's missile attack, which "restored" US prestige in Middle East

Israel was given VIP treatment while Trump pounded Syria with overpriced missiles, according to Israel's intelligence minister.

Yisrael Katz, Israel's intelligence minister and a member of the Cabinet's defense forum, said in a Friday interview that US defense officials "updated Israel in real time" about the strike, according to the Jewish Telegraph Agency.

Israel was a vocal proponent for military action in response to the alleged gas attack in Idlib province on Tuesday.

As the Jerusalem Post wrote on April 4, "Amid the voices in Israel's political establishment on Tuesday roundly condemning the Syrian chemical attack and calling on the world to actively intervene, some called for Israel to rethink its own policy toward Syria and suggested taking limited military action."

Comment: If the hypothesis in this article is correct then, indeed, Trump's strike against Syria was a "show" for Israel.

Syria is Trump's Bush-Obama WMD remix

The United States finds its increasingly clumsy, circular foreign policy looping back once again to accusations of "weapons of mass destruction" being inexplicably used against a civilian population, this time in Syria's northern city of Idlib currently serving as the defacto capital of terrorist organizations including various Al Qaeda affiliates, most notably the US State Department designated foreign terrorist organization, al-Nusrah Front.

The allegations have already been used for a rushed US attack on Syrian forces, without any formal investigation or approval from the United Nations.

There are several serious factors being intentionally omitted from this quickly evolving US-driven narrative, including:
  • While the eastern Syrian city of Raqqa serves as the defacto capital of the Islamic State, the northern city of Idlib serves as the defacto capital for all remaining Al Qaeda affiliates in the country;
  • The Syrian government is already winning nationwide using much more effective, conventional tactics and weapon systems. Syria is also under immense scrutiny, thus using chemical weapons would be an egregious tactical, strategic, political and military blunder, serving no purpose besides to incriminate the government and invite US-led foreign intervention;
  • The US has already prepositioned troops in Syria, increasing their number recently and expanding the scope of their operations. It is not a coincidence that they were placed there to exert greater military force against Damascus, and now suddenly have a pretext to do so;
  • The US has a long and sordid history of arraying false accusations against targeted states, specifically regarding the possession or use of chemical weapons and;
  • Militant groups the US and its allies are currently arming, funding, training and providing aid to, have been caught staging serial chemical weapon attacks or fabricating evidence regarding alleged attacks that never took place.

Comment: Theories abound regarding the decision to bomb the Syrian airfield. Motives and function aside, as was the case in the Iraq WMDs, how Trump's abrupt and unexpected military action plays out affects the trajectory of the war and the course of history.

President Trump asserts his authority over his allies

Don't be confused by the diplomatic games and the Pied Piperism of the major medias. What happened this morning [April 7] in Syria has no connection with the story you are being told about it, nor the conclusions which are being drawn for you.

This morning, the United States are said to have fired 59 cruise missiles from the Mediterranean in order to destroy the Syrian military air base at Sha'irat. The attack was intended as a unilateral action aimed at punishing the chemical weapons attack which the US attributes to the Syrian Arab Army.

Stunned by the amplitude of the reaction by the US, all commentators concluded that the Trump administration had made a 180° turn concerning the Syrian question. The White House was claimed to have finally adopted the position of its US opposition and its British, French and German allies. Really?

The reality does not correspond to the story

Without hindrance, the US cruise missiles crossed the zone controlled by the new Russian weapon which inhibits NATO communications and commands. According to General Philip Breedlove, ex-Supreme Commander of NATO, this weapon enabled Russia to gain the advantage over the United States in terms of conventional warfare. It should normally have upset the guidance systems of these missiles, but apparently did not function. This indicates either that the Pentagon has finally found a technical riposte, or that the weapon had been de-activated by the Russians.



Comment: If the above reasoning is indicative of motive and action, Trump's tack has also paved the way to up the level of retaliation against the jihadists who really use chemical weapons. Assad was then the sticker face to open that door. At this point, however, all theories regarding this military action are, at best, an exercise in second-guessing.

Bus bomb blast kills 1, 25 injured south of Homs, Syria

A bomb exploded on a bus in a town south of the Syrian city of Homs, resulting in multiple casualties, according to local media reports.

The bomb was planted in a bus with workers in the town of Hassia, 40km (25 miles) south of Homs, state TV reports, saying that one woman was killed and 25 more people were injured. SANA reports that multiple people have been injured.

Images purportedly showing the aftermath of the attack have appeared on social media. RT cannot verify their authenticity.

This is yet another attack in a string of bombings targeting civilians in Syria. In March, two bombs went off in Damascus on the same day, hitting the Justice Palace in al-Hamidiyeh and a restaurant in the al-Rabweh area, killing more than 30 people in total.

In late February, a car bombing near the Syrian city of Al-Bab in Aleppo Province claimed the lives of almost 70 people, mostly civilians. Responsibility for the attack was claimed by Islamic State.

Comment: There seems to be no end to indiscriminate atrocities in the name of political ideology or just for the 'hell' of it. Sad commentary on the state of humanity.

Trump's airstrike used by ISIS to attack Christian town protected by Syrian Army

When George W. Bush attacked Iraq and the Saddam Hussein regime, millions of Americans rejoiced as the president took unilateral measures to overthrow the evil dictator's powerful hold over the country. Bush was successful with his stated goal, regime change, but for Iraqi Christians, life would never be the same.

One 2016 publication stated the Christian population in Iraq fell by 80 percent in just a decade following the US invasion. CNN stated Christianity was "in peril" after ISIS took control of the country. And The New York Times questioned if this generation would see the end of Christianity in the Middle East.

Oh how quickly it seems American Christians forget the toll taken on their Middle Eastern brothers and sisters when regimes change, and terrorists take over. But that is precisely what will happen if the United States has its way with Syria, the way it did in Iraq. Yet it seems millions of American Christians have pledged their prayer support for the president's preemptive strike on Syria.

Evangelist and pastor of Harvest Church, Greg Laurie, issued the following statement:
The United States of America has struck chemical and weapons sites in Syria with Tomahawk and Cruise missiles! President Trump, commenting on the horrific attacks of the Syrian Government on it's own people, including children with Sarin gas said,
'No child of God should ever suffer such horror'
Pray for our leaders and military and the innocent victims of Syria!
May God protect and bless the United States of America.

Comment: Left out: "May God protect and bless Syria." As if to say 'God is over here, not over there.'

Washington's False Flag: United Nations Confirmed that US Supported Syrian "Rebels" Were Using Chemical Weapons in 2013

Head of UN Mission Carla del Ponte
Head of UN Mission Carla del Ponte

Washington is Lying.


Both Trump and Obama have blood on their hands. The Chemical Weapons Attack is being used as a "False Flag", a pretext and a justification to wage an illegal war of aggression.


The United Nations in a 2013 report confirms that Syrian opposition "rebels" (supported by Washington) "may have used chemical weapons against [Syrian] government forces."

The UN report refutes Washington's allegations that the government of Bashar al Assad was using chemical weapons against his own people.

What the UN mission findings confirm is that the US sponsored opposition "rebels" largely composed of Al Qaeda affiliated groups, financed and supported by the Western military alliance were responsible for these 2013 chemical weapons attacks.

US airstrikes in Syria on 7 April targeted an airbase in the western province of Homs. The US claims the attack was in response to a 'chemical attack' allegedly carried out by Syrian government forces in Idlib earlier this week. Damascus has rejected the allegations and called the US attack a blatant aggression, which makes the US "a partner of the terrorists." Washington's move could further escalate tensions in the war-ravaged country. Sott.net's Joe Quinn recently weighed in on PressTV...

SOTT Focus: Fallout from U.S. attack on Syria: Trump loses popular support, congratulated on 'becoming president' by CNN

Continuing our coverage of the yet-to-be-investigated chemical attack in Idlib, and the yet-to-be justified U.S. attack on a Syrian airbase by the U.S., here are the most important developments since our last update (available here).

First of all, confirming reports from on the ground at the airbase, and from the Russian Defense Ministry's press conference, that the damage caused by the U.S. Tomahawks (the 23 of 59 that actually hit their target, that is) was not very extensive - the Syrian air force has resumed use of the base. That's a good thing because, as Qusai Nasr, a relative of one of the 14 victims of the Tomahawk attack, told RT, it has been, and will continue to be, actively involved in the fight against ISIS in Syria. Now they can continue to fight the war on terror that the U.S. under Bush and Obama (and now, increasingly, under Trump) has only pretended to fight.

The Syrian Army confirmed their special forces fired at a US reconnaissance plane flying over northwestern Syria. Since the US is flying there illegally, who can blame them?

The U.S. claims the plane that allegedly launched the alleged chemical weapons attack in Idlib came from the targeted base. If so, there would be stores of chemical weapons at the base. And since the ammunition storehouses were targeted, you'd think some of those WMDs would've been hit. Nope. Journalists were at the scene in the immediate aftermath of the strikes - no hazmat suits required... because the Syrian military doesn't have any chemical weapons. It's really that simple.
