COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
NOTE ON THE GAMES
INTERNET CORPORATE PAPERS PLAY:
THIS STORY WAS UP EARLY IN THE DAY AND RECEIVED A HUGE AMOUNT OF COMMENTS, INCLUDING MANY CONTEMPTUOUS ONES.
SOME HOURS LATER, IT WAS REPACED BY ANOTHER VERSION WITH A DIFFERENT HEADLINE, THUS STRANDING ALL THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO A KIND OF INTERNET LIMBO.
THE GUADRIAN, TOO, IS VERY FOND OF THIS TECHNIQUE EVEN WITH THEIR FAR MORE RESTRICTED ALLOWANCE FOR COMMENTS.
Story about a supposed
poison gas attack by Syrian army in Eastern Ghouta
Pure crap.
The Russians are in the area and say no such thing happened.
But the Pentagon/CIA keep trying to replay this tired
accusation which was first used under Obama as an excuse to massively bomb
Syria.
Remember Obama's phony words about "crossing red
lines"?
At that first instance, Putin got busy and organized an
internationally-supervised removal and destruction of Syria's chemical weapons.
That stopped Obama from completely turning Syria into
another Libya, an American-produced chaos.
When I see any mention of The White Helmets, who are quoted
in this story, I just smile at the absurdity.
These clowns have been proved as frauds, producing fake
videos with money from the State Department or CIA.
They are connected in some way to George Soros, a crazed old
billionaire who works tirelessly to change the world to his liking, often secretly
cooperating with CIA. They receive a lot of hot-air publicity in Hollywood.
They have been photographed doing things like handling
supposed nerve gas victims with bare hands.
And they've been photographed preparing children with
make-up for videos of stricken kids.
Their members are members of dirty outfits like al-Nusrah,
just mercenary terrorists.
And when I read the name, The Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights, another source quoted here, I laugh right out loud.
That supposed organization is a single guy in a bed-sit
somewhere in London who keeps getting quoted about Syria, even though he has
zero first-hand information.
It actually is an embarrassment that any newspaper
attributes anything to this guy except being a joke.
Russia has again appropriately warned the US not to attack
areas in which they have personnel.
This is the second time they have warned the US, saying,
quite meaningfully last time, that not only would missiles or planes be
targeted, but so would their launch sources, as ships.
That previous strongly expected American attack never
happened, but what filled in the meantime?
Britain's ludicrous Skripal Affair, the case of nerve agent
poisoning that never happened. Muddying the waters, attempting to increase
tensions over Russia before another go at Syria.
The Skripal Affair, too, is badly unraveling, making the British
Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, and the Defense Minister look like fools.
In all matters concerning Russia, we get not news, not even
fake news, we get manufactured news – which is just what both the Skripal
poisoning and this supposed gas attack in Syria are.
This is the way the world’s affairs are going under
America's high-handed leadership and efforts to bend everyone on the planet to
its will.
I'll just add, The Independent uses here a rather shabby yellow
journalism technique: it quotes its provocative headline, 'Dozens of civilians
killed in chemical weapons attack.'
Of course, what that means is that you are taking no
responsibility for the claim. A lot of dishonesty can be hidden by quotation
marks.
