18 Nov 2017 – This article was first published in April 2017 following the accusations directed against the Syrian government of using chemical weapons against its own people. The issue is now once more before the UN Security Council. Read carefully.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Western Media Refute Their Own Lies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only do they confirm that the Pentagon has been training the terrorists in the use of chemical weapons, they also acknowledge the existence of a not so secret \u201cUS-backed plan to launch a chemical weapon attack on Syria and blame it on Assad\u2019s regime\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

London\u2019s Daily Mail in a 2013 article confirmed the existence of an Anglo-American project endorsed by the White House (with the assistance of Qatar) to wage a chemical weapons attack on Syria and place the blame on Bashar Al Assad. <\/strong><\/p>\n

(Update; April 8, 2017) Trump\u2019s decision to strike a Syrian airbase in retaliation for Assad\u2019s alleged use of chemical weapons against his own people confirms that the \u201cFalse Flag\u201d Chemical Weapons attack scenario <\/strong>first formulated under Obama is still \u201con the table\u201d. \u00a0Our analysis (including a large body of Global Research investigative reports) confirms unequivocally that Trump is lying, the Western media is lying and most of America\u2019s allies are also lying.<\/p>\n

The following Mail Online article was published and subsequently removed. Note the contradictory discourse: \u201cObama issued warning to Syrian president Bashar al Assad\u201d, \u201cWhite House gave green light to chemical weapons attack\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Pentagon\u2019s Training of \u00a0\u201cRebels\u201d (aka Al Qaeda Terrorists)\u00a0in the Use of Chemical Weapons<\/strong><\/p>\n

CNN accuses Bashar Al Assad of killing his own people while also acknowledging that\u00a0the \u201crebels\u201d are not only in possession of chemical weapons, but that these \u201cmoderate terrorists\u201d affiliated with Al Nusra are trained in the use of chemical weapons by specialists on contract to the Pentagon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a twisted logic, the Pentagon\u2019s mandate was to ensure that the rebels aligned with Al Qaeda would not acquire or use WMD, by actually training them in the use of chemical weapons (sounds contradictory):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe training [in chemical weapons], which is taking place in Jordan and Turkey, involves how to monitor and secure stockpiles and handle weapons sites and materials, according to the sources. Some of the contractors are on the ground in Syria working with the rebels to monitor some of the sites, according to one of the officials.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The nationality of the trainers was not disclosed, though the officials cautioned against assuming all are American. (CNN<\/a>, December 09, 2012, emphasis added)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The above report by CNN\u2019s award winning journalist Elise Labott <\/a>(relegated to the status a CNN blog), refutes CNN\u2019s numerous accusations directed against Bashar Al Assad.<\/p>\n

Who is doing the training of terrorists in the use of chemical weapons? \u00a0From the horse\u2019s mouth: CNN<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Sources: U.S. helping underwrite Syrian rebel training on securing chemical weapons<\/a><\/p>\n

And these are the same terrorists (trained by the Pentagon) who are the alleged target of \u00a0Washington\u2019s counterterrorism bombing campaign initiated by Obama in August 2014:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Pentagon scheme established in 2012 consisted in equipping and training Al Qaeda rebels<\/strong> in the use of chemical weapons, with the support of military contractors hired by the Pentagon, and then holding the Syrian government responsible \u00a0for using the WMD against the Syrian people.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is unfolding is a diabolical scenario \u2013which is an integral part of military planning\u2013 namely a situation where opposition terrorists advised by Western defense contractors are actually in possession of chemical weapons.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is not a rebel training exercise in non-proliferation. While president Obama states that \u201cyou will be held accountable\u201d if \u201cyou\u201d (meaning the Syrian government) use chemical weapons, what is contemplated as part of this covert operation is the possession of chemical weapons by the US-NATO sponsored terrorists, namely \u201cby our\u201d Al Qaeda affiliated operatives, including the Al Nusra Front which constitutes the most effective Western financed and trained fighting group, largely integrated by foreign mercenaries. In a bitter twist, Jabhat al-Nusra, a US sponsored \u201cintelligence asset\u201d, was recently put on the State Department\u2019s list of terrorist organizations.<\/em><\/p>\n

The West claims that it is coming to the rescue of the Syrian people, whose lives are allegedly threatened by Bashar Al Assad. The truth of the matter is that the Western military alliance is not only supporting the terrorists, including the Al Nusra Front, it is also making chemical weapons available to its proxy \u201copposition\u201d rebel forces.<\/em><\/p>\n

The next phase of this diabolical scenario is that the chemical weapons in the hands of Al Qaeda operatives will be used against civilians, which could potentially lead an entire nation into a humanitarian disaster.<\/em><\/p>\n

The broader issue is: who is a threat to the Syrian people? The Syrian government of Bashar al Assad or the US-NATO-Israel military alliance which is recruiting \u201copposition\u201d terrorist forces, which are now being trained in the use of chemical weapons.\u201d (Michel Chossudovsky<\/a>, May 8, 2013, minor edit)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
