So the White House announces that Assad is planning another chemical weapons attack and says it will respond if it happens.
Are they serious? Are the American people that brainwashed that they still believe the old 'chemical weapons' line? How many times do they have to be lied to before they start to realise what is going on?
The world has gone absolutely mad. A couple of weeks ago the United States, operating in Syria illegally, (no invitation from Syrian Government or UN mandate) shot down a Syrian jet in Syrian airspace and said they were acting in self defense !!!
Yes, that actually happened and you know what? The world said nothing. The UN said nothing, the EU said nothing, such is the power of a lie repeated over and over again along with the idea that the United States is exceptional.
We're in dangerous territory here yet the majority of people appear to be clueless and so accustomed to the United States policy of doing whatever they like, wherever they like, that they accept it all.
I live in the United Kingdom and if I didn't take the time to find out what is really happening and has been happening over the past 5-6 years in Syria I would believe as the majority of my countrymen do (and my American friends too it seems) that Assad is a child killing monster who waits until UN weapons inspectors visit his county before using chemical weapons. The fact that the Syrian government is winning the war with conventional weapons and knows that the United States are waiting for them to use chemical weapons (that they don't have ) to justify further military action doesn't seem to occur to a lot of people.
I shouldn't need to point this out but Russia and Iran are the only ones operating legally in Syria with the permission of the Syrian government and if they hadn't got involved, Syria would now be a failed state like Libya, controlled by the United States. You don't even need to spend very much time digging below the surface to find evidence that the United States and its allies have been supporting terrorists in Syria but because they are labelled as "rebels", a whole generation of people that have grown up with Star Wars think those fighting the Syrian government and people are Ewoks. Cute cuddly terrorists that want to free the Syrian people from tyranny.
Newsflash !!!!
The Syrian people were free and they had decent lives before the United States and it's allies decided they didn't want Assad in charge any more because he wasn't doing as he was told. Gaddafi made the same mistake and paid with his life.
Unless a lot more people start waking up to reality and spend the reasonably small amount of time necessary to find out what is really going on, we could be heading for World War 3.
I am so angry and frustrated about all this and how the ignorance of the majority allow it to continue that I had to write something down.
