press release
Thursday August 29, 2013 12:47 by Turing
The recent use of chemical weapons in Damascus is without a doubt an appalling atrocity causing untold damage to human life and creating panic in the area. There can be no doubt that this was a horrifying attack which increases the already high death toll of over 100,000 people with over 1 million people displaced so far. At this point there is no definitive evidence as to who carried out this attack. The Assad Government have denied responsibility for the chemical attack pointing the finger at the US supported rebels. Russia is claiming that the rebels carried out the attack in order to set a pre-text for US intervention. The Obama administration claims that the rebels do not have access to chemical weapons. |

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1The UK parliament has rejected the possibility of British involvement of an attack on Syria.
The vote was 285 against an attack and 272 for -showing there is still a large contingent of war-mongers in the British parliament.

The obscenity of such attacks is a reality Kerry is all too familiar with, as the decorated war veteran served at a time when the US was engaged in a decade of chemical warfare in Vietnam.
From 1962 to 1971, the US military sprayed an estimated 20 million gallons of defoliants and herbicides over Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in a bid to deprive the Vietcong of food and cover.
The Vietnamese government estimates that 400,000 people were killed or maimed and 500,000 children born with birth defects as a result of the so-called 'rainbow herbicides.'
“All of the genetic damage effects that we see in Iraq, in my opinion, were caused by… depleted uranium weapons. And also [non]-depleted uranium weapons of a new type. And these are really terrible weapons. These are weapons which have absolutely destroyed the genetic integrity of the population of Iraq ...”

The RT report at the www address just above contains a VERY interesting (and shocking!!) 3 minute 48 second video.
"This regime is no doubt vile in its nature?": and far, far, far more so than the regime in Syria?
=== === ===
"Syria is (at the present time) outside of the Rothschild's Central Banking System":
which, in all probability, is the REAL REASON for the rapidly growing new set of war clouds now gathering over Syria.
=== === ===
"On Thursday 29th August 2013, David Cameron recalled the UK Parliament to seek a mandate to launch another illegal war upon the Sovereign Nation of Syria. Without absolute, irrefutable evidence that Assad was responsible for unleashing the recent chemical weapons attacks, any MP voting in support of military action, would surely be guilty of committing a heinous war crime?"
=== === ===
The above statements (in quotes) have come from UK activist Ian R Crane.
Mr Crane explains how he sees the present Syrian situation, an explanation which is -- in so far as I know, truthful and accurate -- on the 9 minute 27 second video titled "Syria - For the Love of Humanity" (published today) at the following www location:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idcBI99lGUg&feature=youtu.be
"This regime is no doubt vile in its nature but would gain little by such an escalation of violence. "
It bothers me that statements like the above are in every statement made about Syria, unquestioned, yet where is all the evidence to substantiate this statement??
Even Clare Daly, no fan of imperialism, has this in her public statement.
No wonder everyone ends up thinking it's ok to bomb Syria. It's just taken for granted that "Assad is evil".
We need to stop using this kind of language and question these kind of statements.
