They are falling like flies… following the British vote not to join Obama in his latest crusade, it s now NATO’s turn as Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen tells Dutch TV2 that “NATO will have no role in any military action in Syria.” Of course, there’s still the French; and as Rasmussen notes, should any retaliatory action take place to endanger NATO member Turkey then the situation may well change. Quoted as urging a political resolution rather than military, and supportive of the UN inspectors, Rasmussen added “A sustainable solution is a political solution. But an international reaction is necessary.” Continue reading “And Another Deserts As NATO Says Obama On His Own”

The next 72 hours will be decisive in the career of the speaker of the House. The alternatives he faces are these:
John Boehner can, after “consultation,” give his blessing to Barack Obama’s decision to launch a war on Syria, a nation that has neither attacked nor threatened us. Continue reading “Will Boehner Stop Our Rogue President?”
United States Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that the US intelligence community has concluded that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is responsible for killing more than 1,000 people with chemical gas last week near Damascus.
In a statement released in tandem with Kerry’s remarks from the State Department headquarters in Washington, DC Friday afternoon, the US government says they assess “with high confidence” that the government of Pres. Assad carried out a chemical weapons attack in the Damascus suburbs on August 21, 2013. Continue reading “US intel report stops short of confirming Assad is responsible for chemical attack”
During his State Department speech today, Secretary of State John Kerry grossly misrepresented the facts about the chemical attack at Ghouta near Damascus.
“The United States government now knows that at least 1,429 Syrians were killed in this attack, including at least 426 children,” Kerry said. “I’m not asking you to take my word for it. Read for yourself, everyone… the evidence from thousands of sources, evidence that is already publicly available,” he added. Continue reading “Kerry Misrepresents Syria Chemical War Dead”
Below is the government’s assessment of the “Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013.” It is exactly as expected, putting the full blame on Assad.
What however is absolutely mindblowing is the following: Continue reading ““Proof” Assad Used Chemical Weapons Is One Hundred YouTube Clips: Full Report Attached”

As Western military forces congregate in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea in anticipation of a “limited strike” on Syria, it is time to ask ourselves a simple question: Why?
FTMDAILY – In the summer of 2011, just weeks after civil war broke out in Syria, the Tehran Times released a report entitled, Iran, Iraq, Syria Sign Major Gas Pipeline Deal. The report provided details on how Iran planned to export its vast natural gas reserves to Europe through a pipeline that traversed both Iraq and Syria. This Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline would be the largest gas pipeline in the Middle East and would span from Iran’s gas-rich South Pars field to the Mediterranean coastline in Lebanon, via Iraq and Syria. Continue reading “Why Syria?”

AMMAN, Aug 29 (Reuters) – President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have removed several Scud missiles and dozens of launchers from a base north of Damascus, possibly to protect the weapons from a Western attack, opposition sources said on Thursday.
The move from the position in the foothills of the Qalamoun mountains, one of Syria’s most heavily militarised districts, appears part of a precautionary but limited redeployment of armaments in areas of central Syria still held by Assad’s forces, diplomats based in the Middle East told Reuters.

New Covenant Theology – by Gary Anderson
Zionism is the reason that many Jews seek war in the middle east. These Jews (not all Jews) do not want to live in peace with the Arab neighbors. No, these Jews want to dominate those neighbors and this is similar to how God’s chosen nation of Israel dominated in the Old Testament.
But the only problem is that Israel is no longer God’s chosen nation as a nation, in the New Covenant age. Continue reading “Jewish Yinon Zionism Is a False Religious and Imperial Plan for the Middle East”

The White House announced on Thursday that it intends to “ban almost all re-imports of military surplus firearms to private entities” through executive order, which would effectively shut down the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program.
In a Fact Sheet published on Whitehouse.gov today referencing the upcoming executive order the ban on importing military weapons is designed to “keep military-grade firearms off our streets.” Exceptions for import may be allowed for museums. Continue reading “Obama’s new executive order will kill the 110-year-old Civilian Marksmanship Program”
The primary “witness” that the mainstream media is using as a source in Syria has been caught staging fake news segments. Recent video evidence proves that “Syria Danny”, the supposed activist who has been begging for military intervention on CNN, is really just a paid actor and a liar.
While Assad is definitely a tyrant like any head of state, a US invasion of the country is a worst case scenario for the people living there. Continue reading “CNN Caught Staging News Segments on Syria With Actors”

If Barack Obama is going to attack Syria, he is going to do it without the support of the American people, without the approval of Congress, without the approval of the United Nations, and without the help of the British. Now that the British Parliament has voted against a military strike, the Obama administration is saying that it may take “unilateral action” against Syria. Continue reading “25 Quotes About The Coming War With Syria That Every American Should See”
Egypt’s Tamarod (rebellion) movement has called on Egyptian authorities to close the Suez Canal to vessels carrying weapons for a potential US strike on Syria.
The Egyptian movement said in a Wednesday statement that “it is a national duty to support the Syrian army.” Continue reading “Egypt should shut Suez Canal to anti-Syria warships: Tamarod movement”
The UK may be out, but Saudi Arabia isn’t taking any chances. Moments ago, Reuters reported that the regime which as we reported is behind the entire conflict in Syria (hint: nat gas) has raised its level of military alertness in anticipation of a possible Western strike in Syria, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday. Saudi Arabia’s defense readiness, their version of DefCon, has been raised to “two” from “five”, a Saudi military source who declined to be named told Reuters. “One” is the highest level of alert. “It is a must, no one knows what will happen,” he said. And so all those who thought there would be no war and sold off gold and crude, are suddenly caught short. Continue reading “Saudi Arabia Goest To “DefCon 2””
In an interview with Dale Gavlak, a Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press and Mint Press News, Syrian rebels tacitly implied that they were responsible for last week’s chemical attack.
“From numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families….many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the (deadly) gas attack,” he writes in the article. Continue reading “Syrian rebels take responsibility for the chemical attack admitting the weapons were provided by Saudis”
Blocked at the UN by Russia and stripped of British backing, US President still ready to launch assault.
The US is facing the prospect of attacking Syria without UN approval and without the support of its closest ally following last night’s defeat of a Commons motion approving Britain’s involvement. Continue reading “Syria latest: Obama set to attack despite falling support”
Barack Obama‘s plans for air strikes against Syria were thrown into disarray on Thursday night after the British parliament unexpectedly rejected a motion designed to pave the way to authorizing the UK’s participation in military action.
The White House was forced to consider the unpalatable option of taking unilateral action against the regime of Bashar al-Assad after the British prime minister, David Cameron, said UK would not now take part in any military action in response to a chemical attack in the suburbs of Damascus last week.
