False Flags Work!!! by Anthony Freda

Image
Former British Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, told the BBC on Friday chemical weapons are now “more likely” to be used in Syria because jihadis know a “fake flag” attack will trigger the US to attack Assad. “It’s not going to end here … because Trump has just given the jihadis a thousand reasons to stage fake flag operations,” Ford said. “Seeing how successful and how easy it is with a gullible media to provoke the West into intemperate reactions.” While most of the pundits and the gullible mainstream media are fawning over the strikes on Syria, Ford bravely challenges the official narrative. Disgraced teleprompter reader Brian Williams waxed poetic on MSNBC, describing the "beauty" of the missiles raining on Syria. Clinton, Kerry, Schumer and a gaggle of other Democrats have also joined the chorus of bleating war cheerleaders to praise the missile strikes. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=_LKsn4ZutxQ Ford continues: “They will very likely

Wagging the Elephant by Anthony Freda

Wagging the Elephant Anthony Freda Despite evidence that the gas attack in Syria was a false flag operation designed to demonize Assad and pave the way for another regime change like the ones we saw Bush carry out in Iraq and Obama in Libya, Assad was attacked. There was no investigation into the attack, which clearly could not benefit Assad in any way, and it presented his enemies with a bullet-proof pretext to bomb him. The baton has been handed to Trump to continue the policy to overthrow Russia's allies in the Middle East laid out in the aftermath of 9-11 by the Neocons.  Disgracefully, the U.S. bombing of Syria is the one thing that Trump, the mainstream media, Neocons, and establishment Democrats like Pelosi, Schumer and Clinton can agree on. Yesterday, Hillary Clinton called for the Trump administration to bomb Syrian air fields during an interview at the Women of the World Summit in New York. “I still believe we should have done a no-fly
