Information
Clearing House bracht gisteren een artikel waarin min of meer wordt
aangekondigd dat de ‘gematigde rebellen’ aan de kant van de VS, een
gifgasaanval voorbereiden met chlorine. Een grote hoeveelheid, 20 ton
chlorine en ontstekers zijn geleverd aan de terreurgroep in al-Tanf.

De
bedoeling is om dit gif te gebruiken tegen een dichtbevolkt gebied,
waarna de White Helmets (ofwel Al Qaida Syrië) en de hysterische westerse reguliere media met beelden van de slachtoffers de wereld zullen overspoelen (‘uiteraard’ met zoveel mogelijk kinderen) en de mededeling dat de
reguliere Syrische troepen deze aanval hebben uitgevoerd….. Een
‘false flag operatie’ noemt men een dergelijke ‘werkwijze…..’

Ongelofelijk
maar waar: alle gifgasaanvallen tot nu toe tijdens de illegale oorlog
tegen het Syrische bewind, werden door de westerse media en het
overgrote deel van de westerse politici toegewezen aan aan het Syrische bewind….. Dit
blijft men volhouden, ondanks dat na onderzoek keer op keer blijkt
dat de schuld bij de door het westen aangeduide en gesteunde ‘gematigde rebellen’
(lees: moordenaars, verkrachters, martelbeulen en…. gebruikers van
gifgasaanvallen!)……..

Gezien
de uitlatingen van o.a. VS ambassadeur bij de VN, hare leeghoofdige
kwaadaardigheid Nikki Haley en de uiterst agressieve Trump administratie, zal bij een
‘volgende’ gifgasaanval ‘van het reguliere Syrische leger, of de
Russen’, de VS ingrijpen en zal Damascus, inclusief het paleis van Assad
worden gebombardeerd…….

Haley
durfde daar zelfs aan toe te voegen dat men geen rekening zal houden
met de aanwezige Russen in Damascus……

Intussen
heeft Rusland aangegeven dat het niet zal toezien hoe Damascus of
haar onderdanen worden gebombardeerd en heeft beloofd terug te zullen slaan………

Echter
gezien de geschiedenis van het gedrag vertoond door VS coalitie in deze illegale oorlog tegen Syrië, zal er geen rekening worden gehouden
met de woorden van de Russische minister van buitenlandse zaken
Lavrov en de stafchef van het Russische leger Gerasimov……. Ofwel
een oorlog tussen de VS en Rusland is bijna niet te voorkomen…..

US
Planning a Terrorist False Flag Chemical Attack in Syria: Russia Says
It Will Respond

By
Federico Pieraccini

March
20, 2018 “Information
Clearing House” –  Events
in Syria increasingly resemble a direct confrontation between major
powers rather than a proxy war. Lavrov’s words, delivered a few
days ago, reveal the critical phase of international relations the
world is going through, with a potentially devastating conflict ready
to ignite in the Middle East region.

An
alarming warning by
Sergei Lavrov and Chief of the Russian General Staff, Valery
Gerasimov,
was announced via the RT broadcaster and several Russian
media. The content is explosive and deserving of the widest possible
dissemination. Gerasimov claimed that
Moscow had “reliable information that fighters are preparing to
stage the use by government troops of chemical weapons against the
civilian population.” He alleged that the US intends to accuse
Assad’s troops of using chemical weapons against civilians, and then
“carry out a bombing attack” on Damascus. Gerasimov warned
that Russia would “take retaliatory measures” if the US
targeted areas where its military are located in the Syrian capital. 

“Russian military advisers, representatives of the Center for
Reconciliation and members of military police” are currently in
the Syrian capital, Gerasimov said, adding that in the event that the
lives of Russian military personnel are placed in danger, the Russian
Armed Forces will respond with certain measure to both “missiles”
and their “launchers”. A few hours earlier, Lavrov responded,
“criticizing the remarks by the US envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley,
about Washington’s readiness to “bomb Damascus and even the
presidential palace of Bashar Assad, regardless [of the] presence of
the Russian representatives there.” “It is an absolutely
irresponsible statement,” the Russian top diplomat added.

The
words of Gerasimov are even more dire,
since he explains how the United States and its allies are preparing
the ground to justify an attack on Syria. According to reports,
terrorists stationed in Al-Tanf (an illegal US military base in
Syria) received 20 tons of chlorine gas and detonators, disguised as
cigarette packs, in order to attack in an area under the control of
the terrorists that is densely inhabited by civilians. 

What would
then happen is already obvious, with the White Helmets (AKA
Al-Qaeda) and
mainstream media ready to broadcast the images of the victims of
the attack, tugging at the heartstrings of Western viewers otherwise
unaware of the conspiracy being
played out. Efforts to frame Russia have already reached the highest
alert levels, with the false-flag poisoning of the Russian spy in the
United Kingdom. It seems that there is a significant effort by the
United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany to provoke a
military confrontation with Moscow. How else are we able to
interpret threats from
Macron to strike Damascus, together with his ominous advice to
foreign journalists not to go to Damascus in the coming days and, for
those already there, to leave the capital immediately? There has even
been chatter within diplomatic circles that suggest that UN personnel
are leaving Damascus. This could be psychological warfare, or it
could be a prelude to war. With the stakes so high, we cannot afford
to ignore any detail, even if it may be disinformation. The American
attack seems imminent, with mounting signs of movements of American
and Russian warships in the Mediterranean in attack
formation.

Russian
military representatives have reiterated that in the event of an
attack, they will respond by
hitting both the missiles launched as well as the ships from which
the missiles were launched. Things are getting pretty dicey, and the
risk of a direct confrontation between the United States and the
Russian Federation are rising with every passing hour.
The transfer of
numerous US aircraft from Incirlik, Turkey, to Al-Azrak, Jordan,
is another indication of preparations for an attack, since the forces
moved to Jordan are close to the Al-Tanf base. The
proposed strategy could
involve an assault on the city of Daraa, for the purposes of securing
the borders between Syria and Jordan and Syria and Israel.

The
warnings raised by Lavrov and Gerasimov appear unprecedented, given
that they detail a plan already set in course, evidently approved at
the highest levels and aimed at provoking and justifying an attack on
Syria; and attack that would encompass the Russian forces in Syria.
Tensions continue to grow, following Russia’s shooting
down of
a drone by two surface-to-air missiles launched from its Hmeimim Air
Base. Moscow has even deployed to
the Mediterranean the Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate Admiral
Essen and the Krivak II-class anti-submarine frigate Pytivyy.
Both are prepared for anti-ship and anti-submarine operations.
Sources claim that this deployment was planned some time ago and is
part of a routine deployment of the Russian navy. But during such a
delicate moment, it pays to focus on every detail. Without resorting
to excessive alarmism, if Lavrov said that “the movements of the
warships of the United States and its allies in the Mediterranean
seem compatible with the strategy of using this chemical attack to
justify an attack on the Syrian Arab army and government
installations”, then it is reasonable to speculate on whether the
Russian ships are moving in to the area to counter any provocations.

There
are two fundamental flaws in the reasoning of US policy-makers and
the US military establishment. They are convinced that an American
demonstration of strength (involving a large number of cruise missile
launched against Syria through a significant involvement of aircraft
carriers as well as bombers) would stun Russia into passivity.
Furthermore, US military generals are convinced that Syria and Russia
do not have the ability to defend themselves for an extended period
of time. They seem to be fooling themselves with their own
propaganda. As their Israeli colleagues have already learned, such an
assumption is mistaken. While the idea that a high level of firepower
would meet with some kind of success, the possibility of a response
from Syrian and Russian forces remains. And this possibility seems
not to have been given sufficient weight by the US and her allies.

How
would the American military and the Trump presidency react to a US
warship being sunk by anti-ship missiles? It would only serve to
demonstrate how vulnerable American naval forces are when confronted
with such advanced weapons. It would represent a tremendous shock for
the US military, possibly the biggest shock since the end of WWII.
What would Trump and the generals in charge do? 

They would respond
with further bombardment of Russian forces, leaving themselves open
to a devastating Russian response. The conflict could escalate within
the space of a few minutes, leading to a situation where there could
be no possible winners.

The
normal reasoning I
employ when considering total annihilation is placed to one side when
US special forces deliver 20 tons of chlorine gas to Al Qaeda
terrorists in Syria order to execute a false flag for the purposes of
blaming Damascus and Moscow. If we connect this event to what is
currently happening in the United Kingdom, and the hysteria in the
United States surrounding alleged Russian hacking during the American
elections, we can understand just how much international relations
have deteriorated. This situation is reminiscent of Ukraine in 2015.
Ukrainian forces suffered repeated defeats at the hands of the
Donbass resistance, being contained in the thousands in different
“cauldrons.
Within NATO headquarters in Brussels during that time, there were
open discussion over sending a contingent to support Ukrainian
troops. The plan, however, was never realized, given the possibility
of direct confrontation in Ukraine between the Russian Federation and
NATO.

In
recent months, the possibility of a war on the Korean Peninsula has
also been evoked and perhaps simultaneously averted by the
unpredictable consequences for both Seoul and the American forces in
the region.

In
Syria, the approach of Washington and its diplomatic and military
emissaries seems more reckless and less tied to a chain of command
where the buck stops at the American president. It seems that the US
deep state in Syria has a greater and more hidden control over
American forces, sabotaging every agreement made between Moscow and
Washington. We saw this during the Obama presidency, where the US Air
Force bombed government
troops in Deir ez-Zor only a few hours after a ceasefire had been
reached between Lavrov and Secretary of State Kerry.

The
grave circumstance about which we write seem to be without precedent,
seeming as they do to lead towards a direct confrontation between
nuclear-armed powers. Alas, in such circumstances, we can only hope
for the best but prepare for the worst; we can only wait to read on
the mainstream media notifications of the latest chemical attack in
Syria. We can only hope that there is someone in Washington retaining
enough sense to factor in the devastating consequences of an attack
on Damascus and the Russian forces in the region.

Never
before has the region been on the verge of such an explosion as in
the next few hours — as a result of the typically reckless actions
of the United States.
