Tucker Carlson on the Syria false flag: 'No chemical attack even happened'

fake douma gas attack

Fake gas attack in Douma, Syria
This is a major and massive embarrassment for POTUS Trump.

Tucker Carlson interviews Peter Ford, a retired British diplomat who was ambassador to Bahrain from 1999-2003 and to Syria.

Ford references recent facts as reported by The Duran, detailing how western journalists on the ground in Douma, Syria have seen zero indication of any type of chemical attack taking place. See here and here.

Comment: Tucker goes on to own Killary sycophant Richard Goodstein over the insanity of baiting Russia to excuse her catastrophic election loss.


And he's done it again above - blasting the Washington elite's obsession with their McCarthyite inquisition in search of a crime Donald Trump or his associates might have committed in "collusion" with Russia.

At the same time, they're aggressively pushing the USA into direct armed conflict with the world's only other nuclear superpower over Syria - a country with jack squat to do with US national security.

Senator McCain in stable condition following surgery to treat intestinal infection

US Senator John McCain, who was diagnosed last year with an aggressive form of brain cancer, has taken a diminished role in Congress in recent months.
US Senator John McCain, who is battling brain cancer, was in stable condition Monday after undergoing surgery to treat an infection, an aide said, adding that Senate colleagues have made frequent visits to see him.

"On Sunday, Senator McCain was admitted to Mayo Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona, and underwent surgery to treat an intestinal infection related to diverticulitis," spokeswoman Julie Tarallo said.

McCain, 81, was diagnosed last year with an aggressive type of cancer, glioblastoma, after a brain tumor was discovered by doctors.

It has led to a reduced role in Congress for the veteran lawmaker, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 and currently chairs the powerful Senate Armed Services Committee.

Doing Assad's job: OPCW report says Syria planned to demolish building US missiles destroyed

Syria destroyed site

No protective gear — Apparently government soldier has no reason to fear sarin/chlorine release
A 2017 OPCW report says Syrians were cooperating in the process of demolishing the Barzah facility -- the main target of Trump's attack. Instead Trump fired seventy-six $1.9 million Tomahawks at them (so says Pentagon).

The main target of Trump's latest Syria strike, that according to the US no fewer than 76 of the 105 total cruise missiles were fired at - was going to be demolished anyway:
"In a report issued just in March of this year, OPCW confirms the Syrian government was cooperating in the process of demolishing the facility."

Comment: Which confirms that the US is ready to spend millions for merely theatrical purposes:

13 million displaced Syrians reside in these 11 countries

refugees immigrants
America's seven year regime change war on Syria has left nearly 13 million people displaced, and without a home.

Unfortunately, US UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has signaled that instead of simply disengaging from a disastrous policy in Syria, the United States plans on doubling down, by keeping occupation forces within Syria for the indefinite future.


Comment: Worried about immigrant refugees flooding other countries and causing social chaos? Stop harassing the Syrian government, supporting the jihadists and playing chicken with Russia, and when the country settles back into peace, most of them will return home to rebuild their lives.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's former speechwriter has claimed he used to declare, "domination!" and "companies over countries" during company meetings.

Kate Losse, who worked as Zuckerberg's speechwriter and blog writer between 2009 and 2011, claimed in an article for Vox that the Facebook CEO would "raise his fist with a slight smile and say, 'Domination!' as a way of closing out our weekly Friday all-hands meeting."

"The idea of 'domination' seemed as much a half-serious, half-joking fantasy as a hard-set mission," declared Losse, who added that eventually, "the idea of domination started to become plausible."

Twitter users are trying to outshine each other as they mock French President Emmanuel Macron over his reported remark that he is "an equal" to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.

On Sunday, Macron was interviewed on the results of his first year in office by RMC radio host Jean-Jacques Bourdin and Edwy Plenel of the website Mediapart.

Vatican exorcism course opens with 250 priests from 50 countries

The Vatican has opened its doors for its annual exorcism course amid increasing demand among some of the world's Catholic communities.


As many as 250 priests from 50 countries have arrived in Rome to learn how to identify demonic possession, to hear personal accounts from other priests and to find out more about the rituals behind expelling demons.

Exorcism remains controversial, in part due to its depiction in popular culture and horror films. But there have also been some cases of abuse linked to exorcisms in a range of religious sects.

The week-long Vatican course is described as the only international series of lectures of its kind. Entitled Exorcism and the Prayer of Liberation, it first opened its doors in 2005 and the number of priests attending has more than doubled since then. The event costs €300 (£260, $370) and covers the theological, psychological and anthropological background to exorcisms.

Comment: The really interesting question is: Why are people reporting a dramatic increase in 'demonic possession' lately?

Durham is first US city to ban police from going to Israel for 'military-style' training

militarized police US Israel
Durham City Council, North Carolina, has voted to abolish international exchanges with Israel, under which officers receive "military-style training." The council wants to prevent the "militarization" of law enforcement.

Late on Monday, after a heated debate in the city council, the members voted 6 to 0 in what one of the activist groups, Jewish Voice for Peace, described as "the first city to prohibit police exchanges with Israel." The group was one of those which pushed forward the move together with the Durham2Palestine coalition - a movement opposing police militarization in the US and calling to stop supporting human rights abuses in Israel. The activists launched a petition in fall of last year demanding that the city authorities "immediately halt" any such partnerships with Israeli forces.

"The council opposes international exchanges with any country in which Durham officers receive military-style training since such exchanges do not support the kind of policing we want here in the City of Durham," the council said in a statement.

Comment: Well done, Durham City Council. Police officers sent to Israel may absorb very corrupted professinal 'ethics', if they can be called that:

World Cup honey trap! British press adds gorgeous women to many 'threats' English team faces in Russia

Miss Russia 2018 beauty pageant. Moscow, April 14, 2018.
The scariest thing English footballers will face this year is a hooligan hacker model bot, armed with laxatives and a chained balalaika-playing bear at her knee. At least that's what you'd think after reading the British press.

British tabloids have been busy preparing her majesty's subjects for a trip to scary, dangerous Russia for the World Cup this summer. After all, Russia pretty much stole the championship from England, so it is certain to do anything to hurt the English even more. The latest weapon of choice in Putin's sinister arsenal is gorgeous women, lining up for the visiting team.

That's what Express.co.uk learned from Professor Anthony Glees, director of the University of Buckingham's Centre for Security and Intelligence. They shared the revelation with the public in a piece titled "Russia World Cup: Kremlin SEX THREAT to England players."

Comment: Clearly, there's no level to which the 'evil Russians' won't stoop to attack England's poor defenseless football team. Throwing beautiful Russian women at them will, no doubt, prove to be their greatest weakness. It's truly diabolical!

Riots in Toulouse, France: Police attacked as woman arrested for refusing to remove Islamic face veil

Burnt cars in Toulouse, France after a night of clashes between the youth and police on April 17, 2018.
A deprived district of Toulouse, France has been rocked by two nights of furious riots, triggered by the arrest of a woman who refused to remove her Islamic full-face veil for police. Some 18 people were arrested.

Hundreds of police units were deployed after young residents threw stones, torched cars and set fire to garbage cans, police told the AFP. The clashes began on Sunday afternoon in the Toulouse district of Bellefontaine after a woman wearing a full-face veil - which is illegal in France - was stopped by the police for an identity check.

Comment: Tensions are quite high in France where the large Islamic population are none-too-happy about the country's part in the recent FUKUS strike on Syria. Similarly, tensions between the citizenry and government over Macron's right-wing reforms seem to be climbing. France is, more or less, a time-bomb.
