The OPCW mission to Douma is stalling while journalists are able to wander around

The fact finding mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has not yet visited Douma and the delay is being questioned.

The OPCW inspectors are currently held up by the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) which acts as an escourt to any UN-aligned organisation in areas deemed dangerous.

The Australian police officer, leader of the UNDSS, holding up the investigation, is Peter Drennan, who from 2009 served as Deputy Commissioner National Security with the Australian Federal Police.

Critics say Drennan may be preventing the OPCW investigation in order to protect British and US allies, since the "chemical attack" has likely been faked according to several journalists, including investigative reporter Robert Fisk, who have visited Douma and interviewed witnesses.

An anti-Syrian news outlet, the Syrian Observatory in Britain, denied that a "chemical attack" had happened. It reported on April 8 of suffocation after a shelter collapsed due to bombing:
[I]n among the casualties there are 21 civilians including 9 children and 3 women were killed as a result of suffocation caused by the shelling which destroyed basements of houses as a result of the violence bombardment that stopped about an hour ago on Douma area.

Comment: The situation in Douma cannot be that dangerous if journalists Robert Fisk and Pearson Sharp among others have been able to visit the site and talk to the locals. Is someone trying to delay the OPCW so that they can later claim that Syria and Russia had time to 'tamper' with the evidence of the 'chemical attack'?

People of Syria, be reassured - The West's humanitarian missiles are ready to intervene (#ICYMI)

After allegations of a chemical attack in Syria, Western fighter jets were soon revving their engines, ready to unleash a "humanitarian intervention."

Chemical weapons inspectors were on their way to the Syrian town of Douma to investigate whether an attack had actually happened, but cruise missiles and tornado jets can go extremely fast, and embarrassingly arrived a whole day before the inspectors from the OPCW. Ooops!

One thing the airstrikes on Syria prove, in case any more proof was needed, is that the US, France and Britain are always willing to come to the rescue of people in the Middle East, by launching waves of missiles into their countries. Exactly what any war-torn populace wants to see.

Comment: The hypocrisy of the the FUKUS coalition is truly astounding.

911 operator jailed for hanging up on thousands of callers

A Houston 911 operator has been found guilty of interference with emergency phone calls and sentenced to 10 days in jail plus probation.
A former Harris County, Texas, 911 operator has been sentenced to jail after being found guilty of hanging up on "thousands" of citizens calling in emergencies.

Crenshanda Williams will serve 10 days in jail and face 18 months of probation for the crimes.

Williams was busted after it was found that she had an abnormal number of calls that lasted less than 20 seconds. Investigators discovered that she was systematically hanging up on people.

In one noteworthy incident, Jim Moten called 911 to report two vehicles racing on the same highway stretch where fatalities had occurred weeks earlier. Before Moten was even able to explain his emergency to Williams, who answered, she told him, "Ain't nobody got time for this. For real," and cut off the call.

The Windrush generation and why decades later the UK government slyly tried to deport them

The Windrush Generation of Commonwealth citizens are being denied healthcare and threatened with deportation despite being residents in the UK for decades.

Theresa May will now meet the heads of 12 Caribbean countries this week after an outcry that saw 140 MPs sign a letter to demand a resolution to the crisis.

More than 130,000 people also signed a petition demanding "amnesty" for the generation of immigrants, who arrived in Britain between 1948 and 1971.

Many of the Windrush generation, named after the ship HMT Empire Windrush, came from African and Caribbean countries under a rule allowing freedom of movement within the Commonwealth.

Comment: The very same Teresa May who oversaw relaxed border controls back in 2011:
The Home Secretary will be accused of being responsible for the most serious immigration scandal to face the Coalition since it took office last year. The order, endorsed by Mrs May, meant that thousands of foreign nationals were able to enter the UK without full checks on their travel documents. Instead of scanning microchips in their passports that carry biometric information which cannot be forged, British officials were told they could check only photographs and passport expiry dates.

The July instruction was never announced to Parliament or the public. It was followed later in the summer by the relaxation of passport checks on some foreigners with non-European passports. The source said: "They broke ministerial instructions. They had specific ministerial instructions not to do what they did."
And who is now in a row with France's Macron over who will take the migrants and refugees attempting to enter the UK, all the while they both participate in the illegal bombing of Syria as part of the F.UK.US coalition.

Former British ambassador to Syria: Western version of Syria 'chemical attack' events may be all wrong

"There are two competing versions of events" on the alleged chemical attack in Douma, former British ambassador to Syria Peter Ford has told RT. The alleged gas attack sparked missile strikes from the UK, US, and France.

Ford has been one of many to question the allies' position on the alleged gas attack in Syria. He explained to RT's Bill Dod that things might not be as they appear in the Eastern Ghouta region.

"As we know there are two competing versions of events," Ford said. "The Americans, the British and the French claim there was a chemical weapon that was used. The Russians and Syrians insist that only conventional bombs were dropping in the area at that time.

Russian OPCW representatives: Induced coma was used to manipulate Skripals' health

Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were poisoned in British Salisbury. The UK government accused Moscow of poisoning the Skripals with a nerve agent before the official investigation was conducted. Russia denied all accusations. Both victims regained consciousness in April, but their fate is being kept secret by the UK.

Russian representatives to the OPCW have expressed their opinion that former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were put into a state of induced coma in order to manipulate their health. They also believe it was used to prevent the access of Russian experts to both victims.

"British medical workers, as we believe, have put Sergei and Yulia Skripal into an induced coma state deliberately, which gave them the opportunity to collect biological material and manipulate the state of their health, even without consulting with them," the statement by the Russian delegation to the OPCW said.

A special OPCW session devoted to the Salisbury incident assembled on April 18, where the UK presented its report on the case. The Russian representatives to the organization noted that the report was filled with phrases showing uncertainty, such as "highly likely," "no other explanation," "it is likely that."

"Neither the lab in Porton Down nor the OPCW report identified the lab or the country that produced the agent that was used in the attack, but it is highly likely that..." the Russian representatives summed up the British report.

Prisoners killed in the South Carolina riot. Top row, from left: Corey Scott, Eddie Casey Gaskins, Raymond Angelo Scott and Damonte Rivera. Bottom row, from left: Michael Milledge, Cornelius McClary and Joshua Jenkins.
WARNING: This article contains graphic images.

Photos obtained by Prison Legal News appear to reveal the bloody aftermath of a riot that occurred at the Lee Correctional Institution in South Carolina around 7:15 p.m. on April 15. The violence, which culminated in the deaths of seven prisoners, was the deadliest event of its sort in the past quarter-century in the United States.

A source who requested anonymity and said he is currently imprisoned at the Lee facility in Bishopville provided PLN with a series of photos that appear to have been taken with a cell phone. The images show dead or badly-wounded bodies covered with blood and a blood-soaked floor. PLN could not verify the photos at press time, and our investigation into the authenticity of the graphic pictures remains ongoing.

The images are posted below this article.

Along with the seven prisoners who were killed, whose names and photos were published by the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC), another 17 prisoners were wounded and are reportedly being treated. According to the SCDC's official account of the incident posted on Facebook and Twitter, the fighting between prisoners lasted almost eight hours. At a press conference, SCDC Director Bryan Stirling said the lethal riot centered around rival gangs and contraband cell phones.

Did a book written in 1991 predict the connection between mass shootings and manipulated public demand for gun control?

Behold a Pale Horse
The American public is being triggered to fear scary black assault rifles, and in the wake of school shootings and mass shootings, many are demanding the revocation of their 2nd Amendment rights. Nearly 30 years ago, though, one of the greatest conspiracy books of all time accurately predicted these exact events, indicating that the public has been programmed, and that the current outrage against firearms is manufactured.

William 'Bill' Cooper died in a shootout with Sheriff's deputies at his home in Arizona after vowing never to be taken alive by the state. He was rabid in his views that the United States was being taken over by hostile internal and global forces. What today many are calling the Deep State.

In his career as a UFOlogist and alternative researcher Cooper developed a number of theories relating to the globalist takeover of the United States, the end of American sovereignty, and the global depopulation agenda carried out with HIV, vaccines and by other means.

He was one of the forefathers of the modern American conspiracy theory movement, and say what you will about individuals like this, but their work is often deeply rooted in research and backed up by substantial evidence, which is why the mainstream works overtime to keep these views away from the general public.

Comment: Could William Cooper have been correct? Are the following stories merely coincidental? ...and on the subject of politicized gun control:

Craig Murray: Senior Civil Servants are deeply skeptical of Russia being behind Skripal poisoning

Craig Murray

UK Home Office
Well-placed FCO sources tell me it remains the case that senior civil servants in both the FCO and Home Office remain very sceptical of Russian guilt in the Skripal case. It remains the case that Porton Down scientists have identified the chemical as a "novichok-style" nerve agent but still cannot tie its production to Russia - there are many other possibilities. The effort to identify the actual perpetrator is making no headway, with the police having eliminated by alibi the Russian air passenger on the same flight as Julia Skripal identified as suspicious by MI5 purely on grounds of the brevity of their stay.

That senior civil servants do not regard Russian responsibility as a fact is graphically revealed in this minute from head of the civil service, Sir Jeremy Heywood, sent to officials following the attack on Syria. Note the very careful use of language:
Their work was instrumental in ensuring widespread international support for the Government's position on Russian responsibility for the Salisbury attack

Comment: This speaks to a whole sector of Western society that has to be very careful to cater to the whims of their government's Lies - lest they lose their jobs. And this is to say nothing of those who will vociferously "believe" and defend those lies - simply because it emanates from their own tribe. But at the end of the day, and in both instances, the lie still gets fed.

Migrants in Germany resort to making 'terrorist confessions' to avoid deportation

muslim Migrants
Hundreds of migrants in Germany are reporting themselves as members of terrorist organizations in an apparent bid to avoid deportation, according to state officials.

More than 450 asylum seekers in the cities of Stuttgart and Karlsruhe in the southwest state of Baden Wurttemberg have declared an affiliation with terrorist groups since the start of 2017.

According to figures from public prosecutors, as reported by Stuttgarter Nachrichten, the number of self-incriminations is rising - 159 such reports were made in the region in just the first three months of this year.

Comment: Imagine being so desperate to remain in a country one believes is relatively stable that one would falsely claim to be affiliated with a terrorist group. And what should happen if more 'radical Islamic terror' should be inflicted on the host country - do all the asylum seekers get rounded up by the host country's government? What a God-awful trap that's been laid for the migrants and the host countries alike.
