US Attacks Syria with Cruise Missile Barrage on the Back of Big Lie.
At around 3.40am Damascus time on April the 7th, the US Navy launched a barrage of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles upon the Shayrat Syrian Air Force base in Homs province leaving at least six members of the Syrian military dead along with 9 civilians including four children.
Reports of damage vary widely but an aircraft repair depot containing damaged 8 planes and the radar station appear to have been the greatest losses of material.
The attack appears to have been extraordinarily militarily ineffective,but that is secondary to the fact that a threshold has been crossed, a precedent has been set and once these operations begin they almost inevitably achieve a momentum of their own.
In response Russia has suspended the agreement with the US coalition designed to avoid accidental collision or clashes between the Syrian/Russian and US coalition aircraft.
This is a troubling and potentially extremely dangerous development, but all signs indicate that Russia understands perfectly well that it is no position to directly engage the US in the Middle East.
Therefore in my opinion Russia will not respond directly against the US in Syria, certainly not in the near future, but will seek to engineer a diplomatic end to the issues.
The End of Donald Trump.
The attacks signaled to all intents and purposes the end of the Trump administration in any meaningful sense in all but name.
Trump has walked away, he is no longer present, they had a regime change over there this week it seems and now he knows he is just the front-man, has accepted it and is playing the role.

Paul Craig Roberts:”Well they don’t need his head on a spike if he surrenders to them.”

Robert Parry at Consortium News provides a credible, albeit anonymously sourced account of the internal machinations:
“the Trump national security team split between the President’s close personal advisers, such as nationalist firebrand Steve Bannon and son-in-law Jared Kushner, on one side and old-line neocons who have regrouped under National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, an Army general who was a protégé of neocon favorite Gen. David Petraeus.”
White House Infighting
“In this telling, the earlier ouster of retired Gen. Michael Flynn as national security adviser and this week’s removal of Bannon from the National Security Council were key steps in the reassertion of neocon influence inside the Trump presidency. The strange personalities and ideological extremism of Flynn and Bannon made their ousters easier, but they were obstacles that the neocons wanted removed.”
“Though Bannon and Kushner are often presented as rivals, the source said, they shared the belief that Trump should tell the truth about Syria, revealing the Obama administration’s CIA analysis that a fatal sarin gas attack in 2013 was a “false-flag” operation intended to sucker President Obama into fully joining the Syrian war on the side of the rebels — and the intelligence analysts’ similar beliefs about Tuesday’s incident.”
Instead, Trump went along with the idea of embracing the initial rush to judgment blaming Assad for the Idlib poison-gas event. The source added that Trump saw Thursday night’s missile assault as a way to change the conversation in Washington, where his administration has been under fierce attack from Democrats claiming that his election resulted from a Russian covert operation.”
Later Parry writes
“logic and respect for facts no longer prevail inside Official Washington, nor inside the mainstream U.S. news media.”
They Know It is All a Lie.
In the space of 24 hours Trump has completely repudiated everything he ever said about Syria and foreign policy in general. The intelligence reports must be pretty damning, they must have concocted a case? Apparently not according to Philip Giraldi, extremely credible former CIA officer who stated:
“The intelligence confirms pretty much the account that the Russians have been giving … which is that they hit a warehouse where the rebels – now these are rebels that are, of course, connected with Al Qaeda – where the rebels were storing chemicals of their own and it basically caused an explosion that resulted in the casualties. Apparently the intelligence on this is very clear.”

In order to see just how these actions represent a complete repudiation of everything Trump claimed to represent, we need simply to measure the actions against the President’s own words upon inauguration.

The Promise to serve the people rather than the establishment.
“Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.
For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.
Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.
The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.
Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.
What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.
January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.”
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
Everyone is listening to you now.
You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.
At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.
Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.
These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.”
This is a very powerful statement and the way I interpret it is he is saying that when he makes a decision the impact of said decision on the average American will be at the core of the process. It is the promise to govern in the interests of the people,”a nation exists to serve its citizens.”
This is a great litmus test by which to evaluate Trump as President.
Later in the speech the same themes are expressed even more forcefully and the folly of the US foreign policy over recent decades is also discussed.
“For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;
Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;
We’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;
And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.
We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.
One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.
The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.
But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.
We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.”
The Inaugural Address | whitehouse.gov
So is there any possible way that the average American family will benefit from the hurling of cruise missiles against Syrian military airfields? If so, how?
There is simply no way any of this benefits the people of the US and that militarily ineffective barrage cost the taxpayers of the US more than 90 million dollars on missiles alone.
(the cost of a single Tomahawk cruise missile is listed as being 1.59 million dollars, 59 times that gives you 93.8 million dollars)
An Open and Shut Breach of International Law.
The attack was not in conformity with international law and can therefore be deemed a war crime in and of itself, an act of criminal aggression taken on an evidence free pretext and without the required UN mandate. It is beyond unlikely that anyone will ever be prosecuted for making this illegal order but that is due to the impotence of the administration of international law, the illegality is uncontroversial.
“All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state” (Source)
Even if they eventually hold an investigation and it supports the assertions the US President has made about the origin of the Khan Shaykhun attack, the response was still illegal because there was no UN mandate and no imminent threat- the only situation that provides a legal exception.
” a general prohibition (on the use of force against another nation), subject only to the exceptions stated in the Charter (self-defence and Chapter VII action by the Security Council).
Use of Force by States-Wikipedia
Besting Obama in a bad way.
In his crude way, Trump has shown Obama the “correct” way to capitalise on a big lie.
Act before there is time for the real evidence to emerge. Act like a moron and pretend everyone knows what has happened without evidence, or recourse to basic commonsense.
Create facts on the ground with your response, that is, start the war and after that you’re off and away, the situation will now escalate naturally due to the action that you have taken enabling you to ride the big lie all the way to your desired outcome.
The desired outcome here would appear to be the complete destruction of the Syrian government and the dismemberment of the nation, with Israel gifted the Golan,al Qaeda, the Kurds and the Alawi/Shia./Druze/Christians all hosting mini-states in the place of Syria and never-ending bloodshed in its place.

Crimes of Empire 
Trump and his masters, both knew/know, that while you can’t fool all the people all the time, you CAN fool most of them all the time and they will never learn.. Sadly, everything I ever said during his campaign, posted on PersonalLiberty.com, has all come true. Most people hate using their brains. So what have we learned?
That most humanity is beyond intelligent thinking and just wants to be lied to, and told what they want to hear. not what the situation really is. In short, they deserve everything they get. But regrettably, many others must suffer for the ambitions of cruel sadistic world leaders and shakers.
Mankind has proved to be a huge disappointment. That a small few could sound the right warning and no one listen? Tragic and Pathetic! The handwriting is now on the wall. Humanity is going go undergo the worst possible scenario imaginable. the mass death of several billion people. A record never to be broken again.
“Woe to those giving suck to a child in those days!” “Your house is abandoned to you” . . . Population of the world. You were the ones the Bible tried to warn. You won’t be able to ignore it any more. WW3 and the fake Jesus can not be far behind now.

Many thanks for a great comment truth1. The only thing I would say is that most humanity are “beyond intelligent thinking” as you write but it has nothing to do with size of capacity of their brain. I know you know this, but I think it important to emphasise, they are akin to a machine stuck in standby mode for their entire lifetimes potentially, but the potential for awakening remains. Overall I agree with you, we are such a disappointment, such a failure if moral will and intellect. It is truly pitiful and it seems that the dark elite of the West are intent on engineering Armageddon and at the moment they are getting their way.Many thanks for commenting.

I came across this today. BPS explains that the bombing was set up with Syria’s knowledge and permission.It was designed, so says BPS to allow Trump to let all he means business. But I am not so comfortable with that. WWI was a total ruse. Are we being set up for another? What if Trump does make a bolder move? Well, you can see hear for your self:
Then there is the question of, if this turned into something bad, could it be to create a “need” for Aliens to recuse us from our selves, supposedly? Just speculating. Personally, I think we are going to see some serious war. The Mid-East must be subdued in the minds of the insane at the top.

Thanks for that truth1, with respect to BPS, I think he is clutching at straws, just as AJ is doing.Thanks for the link, I guess that I hope that he is right but I do not think so.
The strike is not the thing in this situation, the point is that this false flag has caused a 180 degree shift back to the war party’s goal of regime change in Syria. That is why this is truly catastrophic.
Now that regime change is the stated goal again,now the administration has fallen in line on that, the overt and covert resources in the area will all be unleashed and there is already a greater and greater on the ground role for the US military in Syria. US forces entered Syria today from Jordan, in order to save some of their insurgents who were surrounded by ISIS.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/us-jordanian-forces-break-syria-rescue-rebels-surrounded-isis/
There was also an incident recently of Syrian forces firing upon a US drone flying a mission on their positions. Everything has changed.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian-army-confirms-targeting-us-aircraft-al-qamishli/
The point is, more and more are going to be there on the ground, the results will be inevitable, we will see the destruction of Syria as per the war party’s goals and that region will fall into complete chaos there will be heavy casualties on all sides, including the US military.
This is Bibi’s boy coming up Trumps for his real bosses. Please remember that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell ran a Mossad blackmail operation using young girls to control people. Trump was friends with Epstein (on the record) for at least 15 years,spoke lightheartedly of Epstein’s fondness for females “on the young side” and his links with Ghislaine go back even further. It seems pretty obvious that Trump was either a participant in the group, ie a blackmailer, or he was one of the targets. Either way, Israel is the winner.

No, I agree with you BPS has stumbled many times in the last year. advocating mild small doses of LSD or like for better brain working or that babyboomers were the cause of our current financial struggles due to our retiring. Buy houses for absurd prices and interest had nothing to do with it, I suppose. Nor the loss of jobs to overseas. BPS fails on so many accounts. He clearly is not to be trusted.
But his argument for Trump is to be watched for. They are going to make up some excuse that is not legitimate and will justify the worst war. BPS will likely be leading the way, in some ways like Milo did, only to crash.

Thanks truth1, I am sure that BPS is trying to do right, as I said the problem here is that they are now back on regime change. There are thousands of US troops in Syria already, tens of thousands in the region. The National Security Adviser to Trump reportedly has a plan to put 150,000 troops on the ground in Syria.

It sure sounds like wishful thinking to me but if you are interested Jim Stone has the story.

Well, as you know, I never leave home without my tinfoil hat on. But Jim Stone is out there. For one, The Bible says that the antichrist has to show up and do marvelously, in a bad way. so I don’t see Satan’s power diminishing at all. But religion, Christianity in particular, is loaded with freaks, phonies, liars, shills, criminals and con-men. In fact, I’d be very skeptical about any collective group or church. Christianity allows one on one theology and communication with God and without any intermediary other than Jesus.
Now certainly the road to independent analysis, thought, and interpretation is a narrow difficult road, but I feel it is a more desirable road than having someone tell one what to think. But I think most prefer to defer to another because it takes far less effort, though it always ends up wrong. But independence of mind is God’s favorite sort of mind. He accepts nothing else. 😉

Big Lie–s since 9/11, have built to this grand, mass-gullibility. Sickening they can be this obvious, with Trump/Rex T’s “no doubt” Assad’s behind the chemicals. What have they been fooled into or decided to accept, aka pretend-on? Now a ticking time-bomb. Pushing threats of wars to escalate and cover economic collapse. Or ruse to play break-up/make-up maybe the case. As likely it’s not theatre for internal opposition but full-on blackmailed or idealogical darkened ones – on to killing they go. Only two directions, return and this a sick scam, or what..? No one ‘knows’ this. This the truth: We don’t know. Perhaps Putin and co might/most, but unless this is a back-room show for us, what’s the outcome? Putin back down and wait for next Globalist expansion? My focus are the lies themselves and why? And how anyone can even speculate, Assad would do this? Heard one knows-better commentator, talk of “not being 100% certain Assad’s behind…”. This, what I think it’s a lot about – pre if/when, mass-casualties phase – get as many in the media spotlight who shouldn’t – lying. Perhaps deception on sufficient disconnect and pride. For religious allegiance (most popularly, Zionism) and just temper truth down and switch to sin-talk (‘not the best’). Different motivations but to get those with influence and on the fence maybe softening their tone of defiance against: LIES. Don’t think it’s all about necessary expediency or mind-control experimentation – my theological hunch, is it’s intrinsic and to do with the unseen/bad. Lies to be seen as lies – but believed. Revealed in the purposeful production of false or hoax flags. To want us, to know. Want us not believe what we suspect or see. The argument against this is and elite leaders at it, is they need cover. Act deceptively and ruthlessly but publicly play honourable and blame others. Suppose this might make sense but back on this need to get us all and many as lying along. Anyway won’t labour this on… Well done writing doing these pieces. Light kicking against darkness. There’s v.few ‘crimes’ like reports out there, making any conspicuous and valuable. I’ll read a couple of times, watch the clips and have something to relate. Scarce otherwise. And reckon this the other evil motivation – to watch concerned ‘citizen journalists’ fade down rather than rise up. Two hopes and means to turnaround – masses, publicly expressing their awoken outspoken alarm -and- pray-ers. Don’t know of much where, either-wise. Gets darkest before the light and all that… but will we find faith? Suppose what is happening is this blame-bomb-Syria latest, has shook-awoke whole loads, to the elite-led blatancy and blackout of sense. Response – what? Find this post/site and comment. Do by example one ourselves. Turn the mobile to video-seflie and broadcast? And bang-on to myself-must I go. Need to see the lies exposed. At least there’s no reason to doubt this was another whopper and perhaps we should be grateful for the lack of ambiguity and being… close to – pre claim/evidence – being 100% no doubt.

It is truly shocking at these times the mind control is turned on full turbo overdrive, I am unable to watch the news, even without volume, the ABC and the Australian Government have disgraced and revealed themselves to be utterly evil, unfortunately. You asked a lot of the most important questions facing us, all I can say is that for me the St.Petersburg event was a watershed, a fake staged terror attack in Russia using many of the same methods and techniques we have seen so many times across the West. Russia is opposed to the Atlanticist powers but it is not different.
Russia is either simply playing it’s designated role or fighting for a better spot at the table. The unnerving thing is that at the same time if I didn;t know better it would almost seem as though we are being coldly and deliberately directed towards Armageddon. Many thanks for commenting.
