The Trump White House published three and a half pages of accusations against the governments of Syria and Russia. These are simple white pages with no header or footer, no date, no classification or declassification marks, no issuing agency and no signatures. It is indiscernible who has written them.

U.S. media call this a Declassified U.S. Report on Chemical Weapons Attack. It is no such thing.

It starts with "The United States is confident that the Syrian government conducted a chemical weapon attack, ..."

The U.S. "is confident", it does not "know", it does not have "proof" - it is just "confident".

The whole paper contains only seven paragraphs that are allegedly a "Summary of the U.S. intelligence community assessment" on the issue. The seven paragraphs are followed by eight(!) paragraphs that try to refute the Russian and Syrian statements on the issue. Some political fluff makes up the sorry rest.

MIT professor: White House claims on Syria chemical attack 'obviously false'

A professor who challenged the 2013 claims of a chemical attack in Syria is now questioning the Trump administration's narrative blaming the Assad government for the April 4 attack in the Idlib province town of Khan Shaykhun.

On Tuesday, the White House released a declassified intelligence brief accusing Syrian President Bashar Assad of ordering and organizing the attack, in which Syrian planes allegedly dropped chemical ordnance on civilians in the rebel-held town.

The report "contains absolutely no evidence that this attack was the result of a munition being dropped from an aircraft," wrote Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Professor Theodore Postol, who reviewed it and put together a 14-page assessment, which he provided to RT on Wednesday.

"I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Shaykhun," wrote Postol.

The Russian Defense Ministry slammed US claims of the "efficiency" of the strikes on a Syrian base on Wednesday, adding that Washington's attack failed to achieve its main objective, which was the destruction of the Syrian armed forces.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said that the claims of the "efficiency" of the strikes were made exclusively for ordinary Americans, but not professionals.

"The Pentagon's remarks on the alleged high efficiency of the mass missile attack on the Ash Sha'irat airbase were made for the American audience, not for professionals," Konashenkov said.

Konashenkov explained that all the targets were located on a narrow patch of territory and the targets were of a rather large size, which made them an easy target for strikes.

Comment: According to Konashenkov, Russian Armed Forces fired 128 missiles on terrorists positions in Syria and destroyed 74 targets.
"Russian Armed Forces fired 128 cruise missiles under counterterrorist operation in Syria. Their targets were the most 'sensitive' to the terrorists 74 facilities, spread out geographically and carefully camouflaged: the headquarters, the largest warehouses of weapons and material possessions, the accumulation of equipment," Konashenkov said, adding that all these targets were successfully struck, while the terrorists were eliminated.

Stockholm terror attack: Do they really think we are so stupid?

Stokholm truck attack
So let's get this straight shall we?

Donald Trump says there has been a terrorist attack in Sweden. No one in Sweden has any idea what he is talking about. This makes Trump look stupid.

Then a man drives a car into a crowd of pedestrians and tries to attack the UK parliament. Western governments immediately insist this was a terrorist attack. As the investigation proceeds it becomes clear that the attacker acted alone, and was not a member of a terrorist organization. This makes Trump and several other world leaders look stupid. But none of them withdraw their claims that this was a terrorist attack.

10 famous Trump "deplorables" who are likely furious with his turncoat on US foreign policy

Hillary Clinton infamously called Trump supporters a 'basket of deplorables'. Well the deplorables are jumping out of the basket. Some important, well-known Trump supporters and well-wishers from America and beyond are expressing their anger, disappointment and disgust with Trump's newly unveiled neo-con tendencies.

1. Vladimir Putin

Although he did not endorse Donald Trump, he has said that things have effectively gone from bad to worse after Trump's sudden shift from 'mission reconciliation' to 'mission regime change'. Putin had looked forward to improving relations with the US under Trump. Now those hopes appear to be dashed.

Putin recently said:
"It is possible to say that (Russia's) level of trust (in the US) at the working level, especially at the military level, hasn't become better; it has, in fact, eroded."

The White Helmets are now expert forensics and chemical weapons investigators

With each passing day the White Helmets expose themselves as the ISIS - Al Qaeda jihadist scam most readers of this site know them to be.

The Duran recently posted a bombshell study from the Swedish NGO Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR), that shows how the White Helmets murder babies, not save babies like Netflix and George Clooney would have you believe.

Now we can see the White Helmets pretend to handle deadly toxic sarin gas, which we are sure will sent to John McCain Labs Inc., where Assad and Russia will be found guilty of launching a chemical strike on "beautiful babies".

British scientists reportedly find sarin in Idlib chemical attack samples

British scientists have detected sarin or a sarin-like substance in samples taken from the site of an apparent chemical attack in Syria, UK Ambassador to UN Matthew Rycroft said at the UN Security Council on Wednesday.

"Chemical weapons scientists...have analyzed samples obtained from Khan Sheikhun. These have tested positive for the nerve agent sarin or a sarin-like substance," Rycroft said. "The United Kingdom therefore shares the US assessment that it is highly likely that the regime was responsible for a sarin attack on Khan Sheikhoun on 4 April."


Comment: One can't help but wonder how the scientists got the samples. Since the Idlib attack has all the hallmarks of a Western intelligence false flag, any samples obtained by those agencies would be immediately suspect.


On April 4, a chemical weapons incident in Syria's Idlib province claimed the lives of some 80 people and inflicted harm on an additional 200 civilians. The Syrian National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, as well as a number of Western states, accused the Syrian government troops of carrying out the attack, while Damascus refuted these allegations, with a Syrian army source telling Sputnik that the army did not possess chemical weapons.

Kim Sharif - Director of Human Rights for Yemen: World has to see 'what US is doing to aid and abet crimes in Yemen'

Commenting on the recent letters of a group of US Congressmen to the US president and Secretary of State on the situation in Yemen, Director of Human Rights for Yemen from London Kim Sharif compared the dire developments in the Arab country with a Nazi-era concentration camp.

Several reports have recently suggested that US President Trump is considering providing assistance for an offensive on a key port held by rebels in Yemen and has already increased intelligence sharing and logistics support.

In addition, the US leader is reportedly considering allowing an arms sale to the Saudis that Obama blocked, and has additionally approved an arms sale to Bahrain, which is part of the Saudi coalition.

In light of the US President's willingness to also engage in Syria through missile strikes without Congressional authority, 55 US
Representatives recently called on him to come to Congress before taking military action in Yemen. They sent a letter to their President warning that "direct support for the Saudi coalition's war against Houthis would take too many resources away from the counterterrorism fight against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."

"Engaging our military against Yemen's Houthis when no direct threat to the United States exists and without prior congressional authorization would violate the separation of powers clearly delineated in the Constitution. For this reason, we write to request that the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) provide, without delay, any legal justification that it would cite if the administration intends to engage in direct hostilities against Yemen's Houthis without seeking congressional authorization," the Congressmen wrote.

Comment: The UN World Food Programme (WFP) launched a new emergency food operation in Yemen to provide immediate aid for almost nine million people facing famine in the country, the agency announced on Tuesday.
"We have to secure urgent resources to meet the needs of all 9 million people who are severely food insecure in Yemen as well as the millions of malnourished children and women. Until we are able to do this, we have to spread out what we have to ensure that we are helping the people who are at the most immediate risk of starvation," WFP Representative and Country Director in Yemen Stephen Anderson said, as cited in the WFP's statement.

According to the statement, the new program will cost up to $1.2 billion over one year and will allow WFP to provide food assistance to some seven million people classified as "severely food insecure," as well as nutritional support to 2.2 million children.

"The situation is getting close to a breaking point in Yemen with unprecedented levels of hunger and food insecurity. Millions of people can no longer survive without urgent food assistance. We are in a race against time to save lives and prevent a full-scale famine unfolding in the country, but we urgently need resources to do this," Anderson added.

Within the framework of new plan, in April-May and "until WFP can secure the funds that it needs," the organization will prioritize the 6.7 million people who in the most urgent need of food assistance, of which some 2.5 million will be provided with a famine prevention aid package.

Trump buying into Syria fake news, calls Assad 'animal' for false flag chemical weapons attack

President Donald Trump has called Syria's president an "animal," accusing him of attacking his own people with chemical weapons, However, despite the missile strike Trump ordered in response, he told Fox News that the US is not going to war there.

"Are we going to get involved in Syria? No," Trump told TV host Maria Bartiromo during an interview on FOX Business.

"But if I see them using gas.... when you drop gas or bombs or barrel bombs — massive barrels with dynamite — and drop it right in the middle of a group of people ... you see kids with no arms, no legs, no face. This [Syrian President Bashar Assad] is an animal," he added.


Comment: There has been zero evidence presented of Assad being responsible for a chemical weapon attack against his own people. At one time Trump seemed smart enough to see through the propaganda spread by the deep state, now he is fully buying into it. Maybe he wasn't as clever as everyone thought.


He claimed that even "some of the worst tyrants in the world don't use the kind of gas they use."

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has called for the immediate suspension of the federal regulation allowing airlines to overbook flights and remove passengers, in the wake of the United Airlines controversy.

The governor wrote to US Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao on Tuesday to ask for the suspension, specifically citing the recent "actions of United Airlines" as shining a spotlight on the "abusive practice" of overbooking flights and bumping passengers.

"This conduct is abusive and outrageous. The ridiculous statements, now in their third version, of the CEO of United Airlines displays their callousness toward the travelling public with the permission of the federal government," Christie said in a statement.

"I know the Trump Administration wants to reform regulations to help the American people. This would be a great place to start."
