"Newest Syrian Chemical Weapons False Flag Attack: What Did The Terrorists Do To These Children To Make This FAKE Film?
As I stated in my previous article, I am one pissed off blogger these days.... I tried, and lord knows I did try, to actually watch the Jew run mainstream media garbage news telecasts yesterday concerning the obvious false flag chemical weapons attack in Syria that has supposedly killed over 1000 people....I could barely stomach the lies and innuendos promoted by the liars in the American media that continued to harp on the falsehood that this latest chemical attack was conducted by Assad's forces against his own people....
I was indeed bothered by all of the videos that have been flooding the so called news channels over the last day, and I was amazed and sickened by all of the pictures of dead children that the Jew news sources constantly played to garner support for an invasion of Syria. But something I did find peculiar was the quickness of all of these videos getting out of Syria and into the hands of the Jew media.....
Well, my good friend, Noor, who writes "Snippits and Snappits" over at www.snippits-and-slappits.blogspot.ca, picked up some interesting information about these videos that I also want to cover here at this blog... According to this article originally from the website, Friends of Syria, at www.friendsofsyria.wordpress.com, it appears that these videos showing all these children may not be as they seem at all, and in fact, there is strong evidence that the murderous Syrian rebels may have done something horrific to children to make some of these films which are obviously FAKES! Here is that Friends of Syria article for everyone to judge for themselves as to the authenticity of these films, and I do have my own thoughts and comments to follow:
What Did the Terrorists Do to These Children to Make This Fake Film
On closer inspection of the films that are flooding the internet of a chemical attack we have come to the conclusion these films are fake. It is not sure if the terrorists have used Sarin on these children, but the film leaves more questions than answers, as we are seeing the same tell tell signs that we have seen in the past and the lengths the terrorists will go to make these films.
Look carefully at this film and if any of you are doctors out there, we would love your input. It might be interesting to note that the only time you see a real hospital shown on western media, is when there is a car bomb. Syrian people get taken to a regular hospital by ambulance. If you search on Youtube, you will find that every terrorist video is set in a field hospital. These field hospitals seem to pop up over night just for the terrorists to use. We have actually seen in the past, a fake film of a bomb blast, where there was a field hospital in a shop a few metres away, where the so called injured were carried. Within minutes of the blast this shop was all set up with men in green operating gowns. There were no women in the film at all, just men. No ambulances, no sirens, no women screaming for loved ones as we see in the real films
Regular Syrian people go to a regular hospital and are usually accompanied to the hospital with their parents, if they are children. Mothers crying for their children and comforting them. Take a look carefully of the following film and see what you think.
This was Obama’s next step to fool the world that weapons of mass destruction have been used in Syria.
Now here is another fake film showing the dead children from the so called Gas Attack. This film is self explanatory.
Please leave your comments and let us know if you can find anymore mistakes in the films.
We would like to think that all of these children have only been drugged, but if Obama has really killed these children to try and discredit the Assad Government, then he is the most evil man the world has ever seen.
JLC
NTS Notes: After reading this article and by carefully going over the videos, there is definitely something not right here... I am now leaning towards the accusations made by the author of this amazing piece that what we are seeing here is a pre-planned and pre-scripted propaganda film... But the question is again... What about the children that are obviously used in this film production?
Yes, this latest chemical weapons attack is absolutely a provocation by the criminals in both the US and Israel to get their nice invasion of Syria off and running... But this revelation about them possibly using fake films of dead children to justify this new attack is most disturbing.... Did these murderous criminals kill these children well before this "chemical attack" to make this propaganda film? And in doing so... Does this not make the US Administration complicit in this murder as the last paragraph in this Friends Of Syria article suggests? In my own opinion, I would not put it past the murderous and psychopathic Obama adminstration to consider this type of action......
Please take this important information and pass it around to everyone to decide for themselves..... The US and Israel want Syria destroyed, and I would not put it past them to do horrendous acts of murder to achieve their goals..

News of chemical weapons attack in Syria published one day before massacre
Just like the Sandy Hook sites set up days in advance!
Yes, sadly, this event can be categorized with Sandy Hook hoax and Boston Marathon staging and scripting of emergency drills. Others have pointed out it is no surprise that this occurred as the Qatari-backed Al Jazeera debuted in AmeriKa.
"The Obama administration gave green signal to a chemical weapons attack plan in Syria that could be blamed on President Bashar al Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country, leaked documents have shown. A new report, that contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence, showed a scheme 'approved by Washington'. As per the scheme 'Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons,' the Daily Mail reports."
And they started moving into Syria on the 17th!
THE SYRIA SCAM!
Btw, anybody remember the fraud of the Syrian lesbian blogger or the CNN lies regarding Syria?
Even the AmeriKan corporate media is skeptical of this latest piece of bovine excrement:
"Poison gas is blamed for Syrian deaths" by Ben Hubbard and Hwaida Saad | New York Times, August 22, 2013
BEIRUT — Scores of men, women, and children were killed outside of Damascus on Wednesday in an attack marked by the telltale signs of chemical weapons: row after row of corpses without visible injury; hospitals flooded with victims, gasping for breath, trembling, and staring ahead languidly; images of a gray cloud bursting over a neighborhood.
Gaza, Cast Lead.
But even with videos, witness accounts, and testimonies by emergency medics, it was impossible to know for certain how many people had been killed and what exactly had killed them. The rebels blamed the government, the government denied involvement, and Russia accused the rebels of staging the attack to implicate President Bashar Assad’s government.
No one is fooled anymore!
Images of death and chaos poured out of Syria, marking what may be the single deadliest attack in more than two years of civil war. Videos posted online showed dozens of lifeless bodies, men wrapped in burial shrouds, and children, some still in diapers. Hospital scenes showed corpses and the stricken sprawled on gurneys and tile floors as medics struggled to resuscitate them.
FAKE!
Getting to the bottom of the strike could alter the course of the conflict and affect the level of the West’s involvement.
And WHO BENEFITS?
President Obama said almost a year ago that the use of chemical weapons was a red line. But the subsequent conclusion by the White House that the Syrian army had used chemical weapons did not bring about a marked shift in US engagement.
This latest attack, by far the largest chemical strike yet alleged, could tip that balance — as many foes of Assad hope it will.
Is anyone buying this war-promoting, agenda-advancing crap?
But like so much in Syria, where the government bars most reporters and the opposition heavily filters the information it lets out — the truth remains elusive.
In AmeriKa, it is all one operation.
The attack was especially conspicuous given the presence in Damascus of a team sent by the United Nations to investigate chemical strikes reportedly waged earlier in the war.
Too say the least!
The United States, the European Union, and other world powers called for the investigators to visit the site of the Wednesday attack.
This is SUCH an OBVIOUS PIECE of PROPAGANDA it is making one as sick as a chemical attack!!!
The Security Council, meeting in emergency session, issued a statement calling for a prompt inquiry and a cease-fire in the conflict, but took no further action.
“I can say that there is a strong concern among council members about the allegations and a general sense that there must be clarity on what happened, and that the situation has to be followed carefully,” said María Cristina Perceval of Argentina, the president of the 15-member Council, after the meeting. “All council members agreed that any use of chemical weapons, by any side under any circumstances, is a violation of international law.”
************************
The video record posted online did not have enough detail to draw a full picture of what occurred. Unlike videos often uploaded by the opposition, the images Wednesday did not show the immediate aftermath of attacks in the communities.
The videos, experts said, also did not prove the use of chemical weapons, which interfere with the nervous system and can cause defecation, vomiting, intense salivation, and tremors.
What?
Gwyn Winfield, editor of CBRNe World, a journal that covers unconventional arms, said the medics would likely have been sickened by exposure to so many people dosed with chemical weapons — a phenomenon not seen in the videos. He said that the victims could have been killed by tear gas used in a confined space, or by a diluted form of a more powerful chemical agent.
Reminds me of the other physical impossibility of certain alleged gassings.
In the opposition’s account of the deadly events, videos posted online showed mostly men and children, but the opposition activists said many women were killed too, but were not photographed, out of respect....

"Chemical weapons in Syria? Allow inspectors in Ghouta" August 22, 2013
Syrian President Bashar Assad has vehemently denied using chemical weapons against civilians in Ghouta, a rebel stronghold. He claims that rebels staged the attacks themselves or faked the videos in an attempt to prompt the international community to intervene in a civil war in which Assad has gained the upper hand. The truth of what happened in Ghouta is still not known. But the world needs to get to the bottom of it, quickly.
Maybe not; however, what is known is that the mouthpiece AmeriKan media is not to be believed.
Opposition activists say as many as 1,300 people have died. They circulated videos showing chaotic scenes at a hospital and rows of dead children with no apparent injuries. Doctors told Human Rights Watch that victims suffered from constricted breathing and frothing at the mouth, symptoms consistent with nerve-agent poisoning. But in the videos, first responders are seen treating patients without protective gear and do not appear to contract the same symptoms, a sign that chemical weapons may not have been used.
What?
Both sides have accused the other of using chemical weapons in this conflict, but only one — the Assad regime — is known to possess such toxins.
They said Saddam had them, too!
Related: Syrian Rebels Rebounding
Must have been Cargill's chemical weapons.
But it boggles the mind why Assad would conduct a chemical attack now, just days after the arrival of a 10-member UN team sent to investigate three sites where previous chemical attacks allegedly took place.
Yeah, it sure does! It doesn't make sense, and signals a massive false flag -- or worse, a completely fictional event being reported as real!
The team has been negotiating with Assad for months over the scope of its investigations. Under an agreement reached with Assad’s government, the team is authorized to investigate three sites for signs of toxins, but it will not make conclusions about which side used them.
Maybe he wanted to keep them busy with work, right?
SIGH!!!!!!
If Assad did not perpetrate the attack in Ghouta, he should prove it by allowing UN inspectors into the area. The international community must also ensure speedy distribution of atropine and pralidoxime, two treatments for nerve agent exposure. If Assad did in fact use chemical weapons against his own people, he ought to pay a heavy price within the global community. Assad should be forced to give up his stockpile of nerve agents, or face air strikes by NATO or a special multi-nation coalition on the facilities where they are held.
You SEE where this is GOING, right?

"After chemical attack alleged, US debates how to respond; Tougher talk on Syria still laced with caution" by Mark Landler, Mark Mazzetti and Alissa J. Rubin | New York Times, August 23, 2013
WASHINGTON — The day after a deadly assault in Syria that bore many of the hallmarks of a chemical weapons attack, a sharply divided Obama administration began weighing potential military responses to President Bashar Assad’s forces.
More NYT horse s***.
Senior officials from the Pentagon, the State Department, and the intelligence agencies met for 3½ hours at the White House on Thursday to deliberate over options, which officials say could range from a cruise missile strike to a more sustained air campaign against Syria.
That enables Obama to say no boots on the ground, even though AmeriKan boots entered Syria on August 17 to launch the chemical weapons attack.
The meeting broke up without any decision, according to senior officials, amid signs of a deepening division between those who advocate sending Assad a harsh message and those who argue that military action now would be reckless.
Yup, gotta send a message!
Similar debates played out across the Atlantic. France backed the use of force, and Turkey and Israel expressed outrage.
Related: Hollande Most Hated President in French History
And if he goes into Syria while France is under the lash of austerity he will be hated even more.
Good to see Turkey and Israel patched things up, too.
God I'm so sick of shit-fooley garbage being presented as news in my paper. I said long ago the alleged flap was a piece of shit p.r. flap and nothing more.
But diplomats in several countries conceded there was no stomach among the Western allies, including the United States, for long-term involvement in a messy sectarian civil war.
Meaning bombs and missiles.
And if there is involvement that turns long term, well then, the NEWSPAPER will ONCE MORE be PROVED a f***ing liar!!!!
Although the Obama administration said it would wait for the findings of a United Nations investigation, US officials spoke in strikingly tougher terms about what might happen if President Obama were to determine that chemical weapons were used.
Translation: the tool of the U.N. will be used to move another Obama war forward!
“If these reports are true, it would be an outrageous and flagrant use of chemical weapons by the regime,” said Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman. “The president, of course, has a range of options that we’ve talked about before that he can certainly consider.”
No such outrage when the EUSraeli Empire dumps the stuff on people.
The United States first confirmed that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons early this year, and Obama administration officials responded by signaling they would supply the rebels with weapons. But to date, that has not happened.
Right, they haven't been arming the rebels!
It is almost -- ALMOST -- beyond belief that the NYT would publish such a rank, blatant, and brazen piece of rancid feces, but there it is.

But given how difficult it was the previous time to prove the use of chemical weapons, administration officials offered no timetable for how long it might take this time, raising questions about how promptly the United States could act.
Israel said its intelligence strongly suggested a chemical weapons attack, while the Syrian opposition pointed to evidence, including the use of four rockets and the locations from which they were fired, that it said proved that the attack could have been carried out only by the government.
This is SUCH RANK GARBAGE!
An opposition official described an assault that began shortly after 2 a.m., when the rockets, which the official said were equipped with chemical weapons, were launched. Two were fired from a bridge on the highway from Damascus to Homs; the others were launched from a Sironex factory in the Qabun neighborhood of the Syrian capital.

"UN chemical arms investigators arrive in Syria; Team is expected to visit three sites" by Albert Aji | Associated Press August 19, 2013
DAMASCUS — After months of drawn-out negotiations, United Nations officials arrived in Damascus on Sunday to begin their investigation into the purported use of chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war.
The rebels, along with the United States and other Western powers, have accused President Bashar Assad’s regime of carrying out the alleged chemical attacks, while the Syrian government and Russia have blamed the opposition. Nearly six months after the weapons of mass destruction were first allegedly employed on the battlefield, definitive proof remains elusive.
No it isn't. You just need to know where to look (thank you, readers).
The UN team that arrived in Damascus on Sunday is tasked with determining whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict, and if so which ones. But the mission’s mandate does not extend to establishing who was responsible for an attack, which has led some observers to question the overall value of the inquiry.
I was just about to ask the same thing.
The 20-member UN delegation, led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, checked into a five-star hotel upon arrival in central Damascus. Plainclothes police officers immediately whisked them away from a crush of reporters and cameramen waiting in the lobby....
Syria is said to have one of the world’s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, including mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin.
Said by who?
The same f***ers who lied to us about Iraq!
There are concerns that the Assad regime might use them on a large scale, transfer some of them to the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group, or that the chemical agents could fall into the hands of Al Qaeda....
Well, at least the U.S. and Israel will know where they are.
A spokesman for the Western-backed Syrian opposition’s military wing, Loay al-Mikdad, also welcomed the UN mission but was skeptical about how fruitful the investigation will be.
‘‘We hope that this delegation will be able to reach all areas where unconventional weapons have been used,’’ Mikdad said. ‘‘However, we’re absolutely sure that this regime that has done everything from changing signs with the names of areas to fabricating evidence with past delegations will do the same with this one. Therefore, we doubt they will be able to uncover truthful results.’’
We agree.
I once believed in the U.N. I no longer do.
Mikdad said the rebels, if asked, will facilitate a visit by inspectors to opposition-held areas and no restrictions would be placed on their movements....
So they can be taken hostage by Al-CIA-Duh?
Speaking to the Associated Press, Mekdad insisted that Syria ‘‘will never use chemical weapons against its people.’’
I believe him.
‘‘We said that these weapons were used in Syria, and Syria was the first to inform the United Nations that armed groups used these weapons in Khan al-Assal,’’ the Syrian deputy foreign minister said. ‘‘We had wished that the United Nations had conducted the investigation immediately at the time so the team would not find difficulties gathering evidence.’’
In June, the United States said it had conclusive evidence that Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against opposition forces.
So what? No one believes their lies anymore.

Nevertheless, Obama is screaming that the situation is urgent, and we know what that means.

But given how difficult it was the previous time to prove the use of chemical weapons, administration officials offered no timetable for how long it might take this time, raising questions about how promptly the United States could act.
Israel said its intelligence strongly suggested a chemical weapons attack, while the Syrian opposition pointed to evidence, including the use of four rockets and the locations from which they were fired, that it said proved that the attack could have been carried out only by the government.
This is SUCH RANK GARBAGE!
An opposition official described an assault that began shortly after 2 a.m., when the rockets, which the official said were equipped with chemical weapons, were launched. Two were fired from a bridge on the highway from Damascus to Homs; the others were launched from a Sironex factory in the Qabun neighborhood of the Syrian capital. The Assad government has denied involvement, and Russians have accused the rebels of staging the attack.
How strange it is for an American raised during the Cold War to see that it is the RUSSIANS that are the ones TELLING the TRUTH in my jewspaper!!!
As leaders digested the harrowing images from Syria of victims gasping for breath or trembling, there was a flurry of phone calls among diplomats expressing horror at the calamitous situation and frustration at the lack of an obvious response.
I didn't sense such a flurry of horror when Israel was raining down WMD on Palestinaians!!!!!!!
“They are all bad choices,” said a European diplomat who asked not to be named because of the delicacy of the situation.
How about STAYING OUT of OTHER PEOPLE'S AFFAIRS?!?!?!

And WHY, oh WHY, would Assad launch an attack on women and children as the U.N. investigators arrive to investigate chemical weapons use when he is WINNING the WAR?
"UN chemical arms investigators arrive in Syria; Team is expected to visit three sites" by Albert Aji | Associated Press August 19, 2013
DAMASCUS — After months of drawn-out negotiations, United Nations officials arrived in Damascus on Sunday to begin their investigation into the purported use of chemical weapons in Syria’s civil war.
The rebels, along with the United States and other Western powers, have accused President Bashar Assad’s regime of carrying out the alleged chemical attacks, while the Syrian government and Russia have blamed the opposition. Nearly six months after the weapons of mass destruction were first allegedly employed on the battlefield, definitive proof remains elusive.
No it isn't. You just need to know where to look (thank you, readers).
The UN team that arrived in Damascus on Sunday is tasked with determining whether chemical weapons have been used in the conflict, and if so which ones. But the mission’s mandate does not extend to establishing who was responsible for an attack, which has led some observers to question the overall value of the inquiry.
I was just about to ask the same thing.
The 20-member UN delegation, led by Swedish chemical weapons expert Ake Sellstrom, checked into a five-star hotel upon arrival in central Damascus. Plainclothes police officers immediately whisked them away from a crush of reporters and cameramen waiting in the lobby....
Syria is said to have one of the world’s largest stockpiles of chemical weapons, including mustard gas and the nerve agent sarin.
Said by who?
There are concerns that the Assad regime might use them on a large scale, transfer some of them to the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group, or that the chemical agents could fall into the hands of Al Qaeda....
Well, at least the U.S. and Israel will know where they are.
A spokesman for the Western-backed Syrian opposition’s military wing, Loay al-Mikdad, also welcomed the UN mission but was skeptical about how fruitful the investigation will be.
‘‘We hope that this delegation will be able to reach all areas where unconventional weapons have been used,’’ Mikdad said. ‘‘However, we’re absolutely sure that this regime that has done everything from changing signs with the names of areas to fabricating evidence with past delegations will do the same with this one. Therefore, we doubt they will be able to uncover truthful results.’’
We agree.
I once believed in the U.N. I no longer do.
Mikdad said the rebels, if asked, will facilitate a visit by inspectors to opposition-held areas and no restrictions would be placed on their movements....
So they can be taken hostage by Al-CIA-Duh?
Speaking to the Associated Press, Mekdad insisted that Syria ‘‘will never use chemical weapons against its people.’’
I believe him.
‘‘We said that these weapons were used in Syria, and Syria was the first to inform the United Nations that armed groups used these weapons in Khan al-Assal,’’ the Syrian deputy foreign minister said. ‘‘We had wished that the United Nations had conducted the investigation immediately at the time so the team would not find difficulties gathering evidence.’’
In June, the United States said it had conclusive evidence that Assad’s regime used chemical weapons against opposition forces.
So what? No one believes their lies anymore.

Nevertheless, Obama is screaming that the situation is urgent, and we know what that means.
