False Flag Attacks in Syria Pin Atrocities on Assad and Justify Red Line EngagementBrandon Turbeville This is because the chemical attack was not the work of the Assad regime but of the death squads who have been killing and maiming innocent people for close to two years. Although the Western and Israeli imperialists are clearly always poised to take advantage of a false flag attack such as the use of a chemical weapon by the inappropriately named rebels to immediately be blamed on Assad, the openness with which the death squads have advertised their possession of and intent to use such weapons has proved to be a major hurdle in the attempt to create a successful campaign of public outcry against the Assad government. In short, the false narrative of Assads use of chemical weapons against his own people is so easily dispelled that the public relations push seems to have stalled, even if only for a brief time. Since the ridiculous red line talk has been repeated in government halls and press conferences since late 2012 by both President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as French President Francois Hollande, the idea that the Syrian government would be the party to actually use chemical weapons was patently absurd from the beginning. For instance, in November, 2011, it was reported in The Telegraph that the transitional government of terrorists, Muslim Brotherhood, and NATO puppets in Libya were offering to send money, personnel (aka terrorists and mercenaries), and weapons to the death squads operating in Syria. It was largely understood, at least after the initial announcement of the weapons deal, that the weapons in question included chemical weapons. Later, in June of 2012, it was reported by Russia Today that these weapons had indeed found themselves into the hands of the death squads by virtue of their Libyan counterparts now acting as head of the failed Libyan State. RT stated that, They allegedly plan to use it against civilians and pin the atrocity on the Bashar al-Assad regime. Thus, it should be noted that the London Guardian reported that the Libya possessed 25 metric tonnes of bulk mustard agent and 1,400 metric tonnes of precursor chemical used to make chemical weapons. It was also reported in August of 2012 that the death squads had managed to capture a missile site belonging to the Syrian army which contained chemical weapons. The death squads erroneously claimed that the reason for attacking the site was to prevent the Assad government from using the weapons against members of the opposition. Regardless, one does not have to speculate very much as to the possibilities available here in June, the death squads gain access to chemical weapons. In August, they gain access to a delivery mechanism in the form of missiles. It is just such a coincidence that should cause one to examine another event which occurred shortly before the assault on the missile site. In July 2012, Tony Cartalucci of LandDestroyerReport, described reports of so-called Free Syrian Army militants seen trying on gas masks, along with reports of Libyan chemical weapon caches equipment being discovered in Damascus. Together with the acquisition of the missile delivery capability by virtue of the conquering of the Syrian missile site and the possession of the chemical weapons themselves via Libya, the acquisition of gas masks points to the preparation for the launch of an actual chemical attack, or at least the possibility of it, on the part of the death squads. As one of the death squad members stated to Reuters in April, 2012, The rebels are getting better at bomb-making; as you know, desperation is the mother of invention. Reuters also commented that the death squads were now able to develop more sophisticated bombs due to rare outside donations although Reuters did not attempt to name those mysterious sources. Moving forward to August 2012, a false flag plot was discovered which had been hatched between NATO and Saudi Arabia that would have staged a chemical weapons deployment in Syria either by mercenary firms or by the NATO-backed death squads, an attack that would subsequently have been blamed on the Assad government, thus serving as a pretext for NATO intervention and the creation of a buffer zone in the country. According to Paul Joseph Watson, the source reporting the impending attack stated to Syrian news channel Addounia that a Saudi Arabian firm had fitted 1400 ambulance vehicles with anti-gas anti-chemical filtering systems at a cost of $97,000 dollars each, in preparation for a chemical weapons attack carried out by FSA rebels using mortar rounds. A further 400 vehicles have been prepared as troop carriers. Interestingly enough, the attack was set to make use of white phosphorous, sarin and mustard gas. It then stands as yet another questionable coincidence that, among the weapons possessed by the Libyan regime and now in the hands of the death squads, was large quantities of bulk mustard agent. Nevertheless, the potential false flag attack reported by Addounia was set to be launched on densely populated areas, most likely Daraa, a city on the Syria/Jordan border, after which the newly fitted ambulances would pour into Syria under the guise of humanitarian aid. Although painted with the labels, Syrian Peoples Relief, the ambulances would actually be nothing more than armored personnel carriers designed to capitalize on a manufactured disaster for the purpose of deploying such personnel in order to create the desired buffer zone. Furthermore, the same company that manufactured and fitted the ambulances to be used in the attack is one that is based in Riyadh and was negotiating a contract with the Yemeni government for the manufacture of military vehicles for the Yemeni army. A source also reported that a meeting had taken place between the head of Al Arabiya, the Saudi news channel, and a U.S. diplomat at the U.S. Embassy in the United Arab Emirates. As Paul Joseph Watson writes, The purpose of the meeting was to agree upon a conditioning program to prepare the public for the likelihood that Bashar Al-Assads forces would use chemical weapons. Shortly after the meeting, Al Arabiya began running news segments depicting the inevitability of a chemical weapons attack carried out by Assads forces. Of course, it was around this same time period that discussions of a red line by the French and American Presidents as well as the U.S. State Department and Israeli representatives began their repetition in the mainstream media circles and hence the American public at large. For instance, in August, President Barack Obama warned that not only the use but merely the transportation of chemical weapons would constitute a red line that would result in military intervention. French President Hollandealso stated at the time that the use of chemical weapons Would be a legitimate reason for direct intervention. Likewise, Watson writes, Israels Vice Premier Silvan Shalom told media outlets that if Syrian rebels obtained chemical weapons from stockpiles belonging to the Assad regime, such a development would force Israel to resort to preventive operations, in other words a military strike on Syria. The creation of a buffer zone inside Syria is also interesting in its own right, not just because of the necessary loss of legitimate territory close to Syrias borders but also because of its inherent nature of destabilization and weakening of the ruling regime in Damascus. Thus, it is interesting to note that, while the false flag chemical attack and the subsequent creation of a buffer zone was designed to use the pretext of humanitarian aid as mentioned above, such a plan follows the roadmap provided by the Brookings Institution in a paper entitled Saving Syria: Assessing Options for Regime Change, published in March 2012. The paper essentially argued for the use of a humanitarian issue in order to engage in military intervention on the part of NATO in Syria. Indeed, the paper states, An alternative is for diplomatic efforts to focus first on how to end the violence and how to gain humanitarian access, as is being done under Annans leadership. This may lead to the creation of safe-havens and humanitarian-corridors, which would have to be backed by limited military power. Yet one does not have to go any further afield in order to understand that the plan to stage false flag chemical weapons attack inside Syria in order to see the mass of evidence supporting such a claim. In December 2012, a video was obtained by the Syria Tribune and subsequently released in their report and posted on YouTube which allegedly shows the NATO-backed death squads testing chemical weapons on lab rabbits. As the Syria Tribune describes the video, The Syria Tribune also comments that Judging from the rabbits reaction, the gas must be a nerve agent. The number of containers, if not a bluff, indicates ability to produce a considerable amount of this gas. Deployment could be by means of a smoke generator placed in the target area, an explosion, possibly a suicide one, of a chemmed car, or simply by using a humidifier. In March, 2013, yet another YouTube video was released which contained a clip of a second test of chemical weapons on captive rabbits by the death squads. This is quite an ironic presentation, since the Assad government has repeatedly vowed never to use chemical weapons inside Syria, while the death squads have repeatedly threatened to do just that. Indeed, in direct contrast to the tone and statements of the death squads, the Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi issued a statement several months ago saying, No chemical or biological weapons will ever be used, and I repeat, will never be used, during the crisis in Syria no matter what the developments inside Syria. Still, the drums of war and military intervention from the United States, NATO, and Israel nevertheless continue to relentlessly beat. Regardless, the video mentioned above also contains an alleged audio recording of a phone conversation between two Free Syrian Army fighters discussing the details of a plan to carry out a chemical weapons attack capable of impacting an area the size of one kilometer. As Paul Joseph Watson writes, The video also contains a clip of the death squads openly announcing their plans to engage in chemical weapons attacks, all the while surrounded by bottles of nitric acid and other substances. Again, back in December of 2012, after the death squads managed to capture a chlorine factory inside Syria, the Syrian government actually issued a warning that the death squads might attempt to use chemical weapons of this nature in their battle to overthrow and oppress the government and people of Syria respectively. The Syrian Foreign Ministry stated, Terrorist groups may resort to using chemical weapons against the Syrian people after having gained control of a toxic chlorine factory. Thus, with the most recent chemical weapon attack which has caused both a frothing and bumbling public relations response from the Anglo-Americans, it is interesting to note that chlorine has been fingered as being one of the major ingredients. As Alex Thomson of The Telegraph reported, Reports by the Syrian government coincide with the accounts given by the victims of the chemical weapons attack which one can view in the video clip contained in the YouTube video mentioned above. (See here) It is also important to note that many of the victims allegedly name the Free Syrian Army and the rebels as the perpetrators as they are being interviewed while waiting for medical treatment. The Free Syrian Army hit us with a rocket, one woman said. We smelled an odor and everyone fell to the ground. People died where they fell . . . the kids . . . A young girl was also interviewed, who said, My lungs closed and I couldnt breathe or speak. God curse them. Everyone died on the ground. My mom and dad died. I dont know where is my brother. God curse them. May they [FSA] all die. This is the freedom they bring us. They [FSA] want to kill everyone. I hope there remains not a single one of them [FSA] alive. Let us not forget that the death squads have been responsible for unspeakable atrocities against innocent people ever since the destabilization effort began. Last October, the death squads, in typical terrorist fashion, conducted at least four suicide bombings in Aleppo that killed around 40 innocent civilians. Receiving more attention in the media, however, at least until the death squads were found to be responsible, was the infamous Houla Massacre of 2011 where approximately 90 people were killed. Numerous other atrocities have also been documented with videos showing the death squads machine gunning captives, beheading prisoners (see here and here), and forcing young children to behead them. I, myself, have written an article dealing with reports regarding the death squads hanging of a young child after murdering his family in front of him. One can also view the videos of the death squad members beating and humiliating the famous elderly Yellow Man in Aleppo. Indeed, the videos of the torture of prisoners in the hands of the death squads are legion. One need only type the relevant keywords into a YouTube search engine to be greeted with generous results. Such open acts of terrorism, lack of regard for human life, and outright savagery on the part of the death squads have thus made even coordinated Western media propaganda campaigns rest on shakier ground. Unfortunately, we must never overestimate the intellectual prowess of the population of the television and entertainment-saturated Western populations. After all, it has failed on countless occasions in the past. Thus, while Obama has himself been forced to approach the Syrian issue with more caution, both he and the War Hawks in Congress as well as their counterparts in the Anglo-American networks of imperialism are still marching forward on the war path. Obama himself is refusing to admit the fact that the death squads are responsible for the chemical attack. Last week, he stated, I am deeply skeptical of any claim that, in fact, it was the opposition that used chemical weapons. Everybody who knows the facts of the chemical weapon stockpiles inside Syria as well as the Syrian governments capabilities I think would question these claims. This statement is clearly designed to act as some level of protection for the operations of destabilization and invasion that his undeserved and illogical reputation as a man of peace in the eyes of the American people has been instrumental in assisting. Others, however, are even less subtle about the desire to invade yet another sovereign nation. House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers, for instance, recently stated as much to CBS when he said, I think that it is abundantly clear that that red line has been crossed. There is mounting evidence that it is probable that the Assad regime has used at least a small quantity of chemical weapons during the course of this conflict. Such there might be evidence that [insert foreign nation here] might have [insert weapons here] sometime in the undefined future has been used before to a great degree of success. However, regardless of the insanity of bought-and-paid-for parasites such as Rogers and Obama, the fact is that anyone who has investigated the events transpiring in Syria, particularly the recent chemical weapons attack, is able to recognize the operation for what it is a destabilization effort aimed at replacing the Assad government with a more manageable regime to the benefit of the Anglo-American establishment and the detriment of the Syrian people. Such an outcome is direct product of the work of Western Governments and Intelligence agencies, the NATO world army network, and the Mad Dog of the Middle East known as Israel. In the end, Syria is simply another stop on the Path to Persia. If Americans and other Westerners have any sense of self-preservation left among them, they must do everything they can to steer themselves off of this road before the destination is reached.
