THE WMD MYTH IN IRAQ THAT LED TO THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS MYTH IN SYRIA: A MANIPULATED CHEMICAL WEAPONS WATCHDOG REPORT? A PRETEXT FOR MILITARY ACTION IN SYRIA?

 

                                               (SPECIAL NEWS AND COMMENTARY)




"Obviously, @count18899.  That is why he believed in WMD, when I didn't, and supported the Iraq war, when I didn't.   No contest, really.  Do you want to add that the wrong brother died (it's all included in the Twitter admission price), or are you quite done for the day?"


PETER HITCHENS TWITTER POST SATURDAY 1/28/2023 ABOUT HIS DIFFERENCES WITH HIS BROTHER THE LATE CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS OVER THE NOTION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN IRAQ-LINK






In the aftermath of 9/11 it certainly made sense for US military to go after Osama bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda organization in Afghanistan.


The two-decade campaign would cost billions and end up in a debacle as the Taliban forces that harbored bin Laden would return to power.


But another priority that quickly emerged from the Bush-Cheney Neoconservative policy makers was Iraq.


At the very least one could argue there was 'unfinished business" from the 1991 Gulf War but a bigger sales pitch was made on the basis of:



            "Weapons of Mass Destruction"



being present in Iraq.      



That was the pitch made to the people of the world and to the United Nations Security Council to justify military action in Iraq the war of 2003.


The Hitchens Brothers (Christopher and Peter) went their separate ways on this issue.


Both had left-wing backgrounds in their youth but Peter Hitchens decided to become a Christian who took Conservative positions on many issues while his brother Christopher kept his Leftist convictions to join the Neoconservative Crusade in the post-9/11 world.


Of course by the time the clock reached 2006 there were no WMD's to be found in Iraq but new stories found their way into the media indicating that Sadaam Hussein had shipped them to Syria.


In 2011 jihadists (the followers of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda) backed by Gulf Arab interests along with the UK and US began a war against the Assad government in Syria punctuated by constant concerns about the use of chemical weapons,


A one point an international effort was undertook to remove anything considered useful or associated with chemical weapons out of Syria a "compromise" as then President Barack Obama was pressured to take military action.


Once Donald Trump became President incidents (Khan Sheikoun 2017, Douma 2018) would happen  which led to cruise missile strikes on Syria over the notion that chemical weapons had actually been used.


In September of 2018 with tensions high over the Douma Incident Peter Hitchens warned about a rush to war on the side of Sunni Muslim jihadist followers of bin Laden:


"The moralistic bloviation of Western leaders about Syria, Russia and Iran's parallel war against much the same sort of enemy as Russia and Assad face in Idlib is colossal hypocrisy...



Even more infuriating is their ridiculous insistence, (simply not backed by reliably researched facts, obtained through secure custody chains, a standard set for the OPCW by themselves) that the Assad state is guilty of previous chemical weapon use in Khan Sheikhoun and Douma"...



PART OF PETER HITCHENS BLOG ENTRY SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 (SCROLL DOWN AND CLICK OLDER POSTS TO GET TO SEPTEMBER 11, 2018 ENTRY ALSO NOTE ENTRIES SEPTEMBER 19-PAGE 1, SEPTEMBER 16 AND SEPTEMBER 15 ON PAGE 2 BEFORE SEPTEMBER 11 ENTRY)







OPCW stands for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons based in the Netherlands and following the 2018 Douma incident a probe was underway but it was clouded as was the probe into the earlier 2017 incident.


And after four plus years on Friday January 27th the OPCW is now claiming after the clouds over its chemical weapons probes in Syria that Syria's government was indeed responsible for the Douma incident which Syria vigorously maintains was staged by the jihadists and the British intelligence associated "White Helmets" Civil Defense group active during the Syrian Civil War...

PRESS TV IRAN-SYRIA STRONGLY REJECTS OPCW 'MISLEADING REPORT' ON ALLEGED 2018 CHEMICAL ATTACK IN DOUMA




Getting back to Peter Hitchens his post this weekend very interesting indeed in light of the fact that I haven't seen any writing about this news on a subject Peter Htichens clearly was interested in the notion that there was not clear evidence and proof of Syrian government involvement in chemical weapons strikes in Syria.



Well last April Mr. Hitchens was served notice by the British Government it's called a DMSA or "D" notice that he was forbidden to write about matters he could not reveal...





I focused in my special post on Ukraine but considering British Intelligence links to the White Helmets who likely staged and faked the chemical weapons attacks in Syria I have to consider that perhaps Mr. Hitchens is enjoined from discussing the alleged use of chemical weapons in Syria and the cloud that was over the accuracy of the OPCW's work that Hitchens wrote about previously.


In fact between those 2018 posts and last year's ban Mr. Hitchens wrote about former OPCW employees "whistleblowing" about outside pressure from the US over coming up with a report to blame Syria's government over chemical weapons use.



This report about Syrian government use of chemical weapons should be seriously doubted and I'm left wondering if it's going to become a pretext for more military action in Syria in the days and months ahead with Russia and or Iran the close allies of Syria possibly getting a big beating by the Pro-Ukraine Anti-Russia alliance of nations.

FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 220: PENSION REFORM OPPOSITION ON THE RISE, IS MARCON'S GOV'T RESORTING TO JANUARY 6TH STYLE INCIDENTS?, HAVE THE 'OATH KEEPERS' OF FRANCE MATERIALIZED?

 


(MAINSTREAM MEDIA SOURCES USED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS POST INCLUDING BFM-TV AND FRANCE 24)



        YELLOW VESTS PROTEST IN PARIS SATURDAY JANUARY 28, 2023



As the protest movement against the "pension reform" plan of President Emmanuel Macron appears to be large and widespread there's been a circling of the ranks by Macron, his Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne and cabinet ministers.


The government getting promotional support from mainstream media as they suggest protests and strikes will hurt holiday plans for the French next month.




A PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY THIS WEEK INDICATES 72 PERCENT OPPOSITION TO THE MARCON PENSION SCHEME THAT WILL RAISE RETIREMENT AGE TO 64 AND CHANGE BENEFITS FOR MANY RETIREES.




As was the case with the Yellow Vests just over four years ago the possibility of incidents involving black uniformed anarchists looms large.


Political leaders like Marine Le Pen of the National Rally have repeatedly said the activities of such individuals help the government to win the "information war" with public opinion and serve the interests of Macron and his government.



The Tuesday "sabotage" incident at a railway electrical box that shut down the Gare de l'Est rail station in Paris for 24 hours plus points to the possibility of January 6th style incidents to anger public opinion against opponents of the "pension reform" who now have the upper hand in public support over Macron's government.



The tide of strikes and protest rising in France various sectors including the power industry and refineries impacted by opposition to pension reform.


The "Left" spearheading opposition and attacking National Rally political leaders like Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella who have spoken out passionately against Macron's pension plan.


Marine Le Pen talking parliamentary politics putting pressure on the "Mainstream Right" Les Republicains.    Their 62 members of the National Assembly are the deciding votes if pension reform comes to a vote in the National Assembly.



One option still available to Emmanuel Macron is use of Article 49.3 of France's Constitution passing the legislation without approval by the National Assembly.




PROTESTS OPPOSING THE PENSION REFORM PLAN NOW A DAILY OCCURRENCE IN FRANCE TORCHLIGHT PROCESSIONS IN MANY CITIES AND TOWNS IN RECENT DAYS.

One protest sign mentioning use of Article 49.3 of the Constitution to force pension reform through without National Assembly approval it's an option that a French President has under Article 49.3 of the Constitution of the "Fifth Republic" adopted in 1958.



That same protest sign also brought up "Blackrock" stressing the connection between Big Banks, Big Money and President Emmanuel Macron.




In Marseille protest today one demonstrator standing at the waterfront was interviewed and at the end of this video a group of protesters standing nearby but this video was taken down by the person who uploaded it.



In the countryside the Yellow Vests carried on in Villeneuve-sur-Lot some highlights from that protest demonstrators getting ready and later at the traffic circle where the weekly protests are held...







I SAW A VIDEO TODAY THAT REQUIRES SOME DISCUSSION.


 THE 'OATH KEEPERS' GROUP CREATED HERE IN THE US ASSOCIATED WITH JANUARY 6TH AND SEEN AS A DEN OF INFORMANTS IS ROOTED IN THE NOTION THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMBERS ARE KEEPING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL OATH.



WELL THIS VIDEO IS LABELED 'POLICE FOR TRUTH' WHEN TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AND IT SHOWS A PROTEST IN FORCALQUIER IN THE SOUTH OF FRANCE TODAY.



HAVE FRENCH AUTHORITIES RESORTED TO THE SAME KIND OF UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS THAT THE FBI HAS USED IN THE US AGAINST GOVERNMENT OPPONENTS USING PEOPLE IDENTIFYING AT LAW ENFORCEMENT MOVING INTO THE PROTESTER RANKS?...







Meanwhile Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne saying that opponents of President Macron's pension scheme are spreading "false information".


Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin claiming that the political Left in France is trying 'to mess up the country'.



This Tuesday will be a major day of strike action and protest in France against the changes to pensions oil refineries and the energy sector in general playing a major role along with railroad workers.    Teachers will participate but perhaps less than they did before.



Also some local government's giving workers the day off to participate in protest the mainstream media trying to make an issue out of that.


France is moving into protest mode and we shall see how serious events will be in the weeks and months ahead and if the government has a strategy to overcome the protests and impose the pension reform scheme or if the protests will have enough traction to succeed.



                             That's the story of France and the Yellow Vests for this week.

AFP FRANCE-AL ARABIYA NEWS: TOP US GENERAL WARNS OF POSSIBLE LOOMING WAR WITH CHINA


         UPDATED COMMENT-ANALYSIS:



In the Newsdump Period when the public pays less attention to news this broadside at China hoping to draw a nasty response from China when people are paying attention following the Newsdump Period.


US Secretary of State Antony Blinken set to go to Beijing for talks with China next weekend (Sunday February 5th).    


Maybe the Chinese will get nasty with Blinken over this and that will be leaked out to keep selling the narrative on conflict and tensions with China. 


Keep up the Prod, Provoke and Push asymmetrical warfare to hurt China sideways economically, image wise that stops short of firing shots but pushes China to respond with A response to be held as a:



                        "see I told you so"



against China.     No endorsement of China or its system here an analysis of the facts of the situation.


President Trump has been consistently hitting at China.    He knows and I know that the Military-Security State the "Deep State" already has China on the board for 2025.


I listen to policy wonks I've heard the discussion that 2025 is when China may be able to win a war.


I heard em say the US needed to be looking at that year it was being said years before this general's comments emerged this weekend.

Welcome to Your Weekend the pursuit of media excellence continues with a pursuit of the truth as well.



Trying to separate the Real Issues from the Fake Issues the Gaslighting from the Fakeservative sources and Fakegressive ones as well.


It all needs to be overcome so we can get to the issues they avoid debating-discussing.



And when it comes to this Ukraine Thing dare I say What Would Jesus Do?...



The Ukraine Update our theme Country Joe McDonald and the Fish with the "I'm Fixin To Die Rag" ...







"When the Defence Secretary announced that British tanks were going to Ukraine, not one MP raised any doubts or opposed the move.  Not one.   To read the record of the non-debate is like reading the proceedings of some Communist fake parliament, supine and brain dead.


The country where political freedom was born has decided not to bother being free any more"



"What we have just decided to do is to prolong and deepen the war"



"Look, Vladimir Putin is obviously a sinister tyrant, and, in my view, went off his head completely during the COVID panic (look at those tables he sits at), I think he is probably capable of authorising the use of battlefield nuclear weapons if cornered.  But it could be worse.  If he is overthrown in a midnight putsch, he will not be replaced by some jolly, liberal-minded chap.   He will be replaced by someone who might view it as a positive pleasure to press the red button"



"So there is the real possibility that a large chunk of Europe might be turned into a radioactive graveyard and that American conventional retaliation for this (which will be furious and powerful) will take us a stage further into the world of horror, loss, flight, pestilence and poverty which always follows war.  If this happens, maybe more people might want to find out why it began.  Maybe not.   I will help, if asked"



"But why is Britain in this affair?    I know that a lot of voters in key states in America hate Russia because their forebears came from lands Moscow had oppressed.  I know that some neo-conservative fanatics in Washington have long desired to dismantle Russia and ensure that it is never an important country again.


I even understand their points of view.  But they are least 3,000 miles away and will not be personally affected by their own policy.   By contrast we are not 3,000 miles away.   And I have absolutely no idea how Britain will become safer, happier or more prosperous thanks to following this strategy.  Rather the opposite."

PETER HITCHENS IN HIS COLUMN LAST WEEKEND 1/21/2023 ON TANKS FOR UKRAINE-LINK




This "Prod, Provoke Push Policy" with regards to Russia and Ukraine is leading the world to a disaster is this what the "Great Reset" is about a depopulation of the Earth with nuclear weapons?


"Prod, Provoke Push" against Russia over Ukraine is the policy of both major parties from Lindsey Graham of the GOP to Joe Biden and the Democrats and no one questions it in this country as well.



"Prod, Provoke, Push" led to Russia's invasion last year and it continues unabated to draw Lord know what kind of response.



Russia is getting the same treatment Japan got in 1940 and 1941 folks and will they respond at some point to this the folks in the "Deep State" know what they are doing.



This "Prod, Provoke, Push" Policy is Pathetic.




Moving on the "Bulletin of Atomic Scientists" moving their "Doomsday Clock" closer to midnight over the situation in Ukraine.


Ezra Levant of Rebel News tweeted:




"They've been asleep for a year.


But this is obviously true.  NATO is pouring weapons and advisors into Ukraine to counter a massive Russian invasion. 


There is no real diplomatic effort.



Does anyone-in the west or in Russia-think Putin would accept defeat without using nukes?"...

             AS SUNG BY SPIKE JONES STARTING AT :58 INTO THAT SONG



Our Western leaders are telling us folks they want an "international rules-based order" it's not Vladimir Putin or Xi Jinping.



And they are turning around Poking Russia and China trying to get them to respond putting out constant negative publicity for starters.



It's all out economic, diplomatic, information warfare against Russia and China as I see it with Ukraine an actual proxy war.



Spike Jones sang "not to love the Fuehrer is a great disgrace" in that song the mainstream media and political machines of the world insist that if we oppose folks like Justin Trudeau in Canada that is somehow evil or wrong or 'a disgrace'.



         The Nazi Gestapo-Black Uniforms.


Anarchists-Antifa and the Police all wear black uniforms. 


Are they trying to tell us they are both on the same side? 



When the anarchists show up they end up doing things that make the police look good they serve the interests of governing authorities.



On January 6th anarchists fought a pitched battle with cops outside the US Capitol.   



During the Yellow Vests protests in France people like this staged vandalism at the Arc de Triomphe and along the Champs Elysees.



When the Dobbs US Supreme Court decision on abortion came down last June anarchists joined protesters in Los Angeles attacking the police with a makeshift flamethrower.



And then all this drama in Atlanta last Saturday night burning a police car and businesses trashed.



Do governments send operatives into Anarchist-Antifa protests to discredit them to prevent protests from spreading to make opponents look bad?



Yes, they do just like they do with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and all other groups on the "Domestic Extremist List" of the Department of Homeland Security.

IS THE GOVERNMENT CONTROLLING THE MEDIA CENSORING THE MEDIA IN THIS COUNTRY?   




                        Yes, Yes and Yes




When does this change it won't with Democrats and Republicans in power the usual set of politicians we elect over and over again.



Last fall the RINO's and Democrats targeted outsider candidates backed by President Trump they took em down from Kari Lake in Arizona to Doug Mastriano here in Pennsylvania.



Their wrecking balls no doubt aligned against Trump in the months ahead.



President Trump in South Carolina today with Business As Usual Republicans Senator Lindsey Graham and Governor Henry McMaster an early 2024 Election Rally.



Heck President Trump pushed Dr. Oz over Kathy Barnette in the GOP Primary here in Pennsylvania back in May of last year he stabbed a Conservative outsider in the back.



But what to do is anyone here seduced into seeing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as the Knight in Shining Armor?



My undies haven't hit the floor yet I hope you keep yours on too.



I smell Astroturf Drama I don't see who's really on the outside here President Trump plays ball with the insiders over and over again I guess he figures that's the way to win but what is real or what is really Constitutional and Conservative.





WHAT IS THE POLITICAL SYSTEM WHEN YOU CUT TO THE CHASE IT SEEMS TO BE A COLLUSION OF BIG GOVERNMENT (BOTH MAJOR PARTIES) AND BIG BUSINESS


IN DAVOS WE SAW THAT THE OTHER WEEK ON AN INTERNATIONAL SCALE.



BUT AT YOUR STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL THE SAME THING, YOUR REGIONAL AND LOCAL BIG BUSINESSES, THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN BED WITH THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP.




Back in March of last year Baby Cyrus Anderson taken from his parents cops swarming them at a gas station in Meridian, Idaho...



BABY CYRUS CRHONOLOGICAL ORDER OF BLOG ENTRIES ABOUT BABY CYRUS'S KIDNAPPING




Well last March after the infant was grabbed he was taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Boise.    


St. Luke's is a major health care business in the State of Idaho a member of Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry.



Heck folks whether it's those bills people my age get I've had two surgeries in the last year or whatever ails you you know a lot of your money and mine goes to "Health Care".



It's Big Business that got heavily subsidized recently over COVID.



Family and friends came to St. Luke's last March to support Baby Cyrus including Libertarian activist and Independent candidate for Governor last year in Idaho Ammon Bundy.



Mr. Bundy singled out and arrested for Trespassing.




Last Monday Bundy was able in spite of the objections of the mighty St. Luke's Hospital to secure a plea deal sought by a local prosecutor in Boise.



                       IDAHO DISPATCH NEWS STORY




BUT AMMON BUNDY IS STILL BEING SUED IN A CIVIL CASE BY THE HOSPITAL.




Speaking after the plea deal in the criminal case last Monday Ammon Bundy said among other things that his ultimately successful effort to cut a plea deal in the criminal case was:


"an effort for me to extend an olive branch to St. Luke's...

a peace offering to say 'look I'll take this, I just want peace' and they in my opinion just spit in my face"

              AMMON BUNDY SPEAKS AT 4:47 INTO THE VIDEO




"they're still pursuing the civil case and after this display in the courts I think it's pretty obvious they're going to try to take everything I own"

               AMMON BUNDY SPEAKS AT 5:23 INTO THE VIDEO




"This whole thing is political but my end of it was not there was no motivation for me to politically gain through this process,


 but this all about politics because I have challenged the Establishment... 


(Lt. Gov.) Scott Bedke, Governor Little, the IACI (Idaho Association Of Commerce And Industry), St. Luke's I have challenged them...


there is no coincidence that St. Luke's is the Number One private beneficiary of COVID money in Idaho...



that it came from the Governor and that Holland and Hart is the Governor's attorney...Scott Bedke's law firm, IACI's law firm and St. Luke's law firm..."


                  AMMON BUNDY SPEAKS AT 7:30 INTO THE VIDEO




IDAHO DISPATCH VIDEO WITH AMMON BUNDY ON CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CASES AGAINST HIM FROM ST. LUKE'S HOSPTIAL IN BOISE OVER THE BABY CYRUS CASE




Both Ammon Bundy and Diego Rodriguez the Grandfather of Baby Cyrus targeted by civil suits from St. Luke's Hospital.




So there you have it the collusion of Republicans in Idaho and Big Business running the state running the government.

THE PRICE OF ELECTRICITY WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES ITS 38 PERCENT MORE FOR ME HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA



Last January my price for a kilowatt hour of electricity with the regular "public utility" was 7.41 cents and now in January of 2023 its 10.24 cents.



That is a 38 percent increase for the folks in Europe I know this problem is worse a lot worse.

There were some Saturday evenings back in the 1970's when I watched the wrestling shows in the retro media universe when videotapes were played by local stations at 7 pm.



                                           Mr. Fuji



                                    Professor Tanaka

50 YEARS AGO TONIGHT:  THE FIRST EPISODE OF A 1970'S TELEVISION SERIES...



This series starred Buddy Ebsen who had enjoyed great success on "The Beverly Hillbillies"comedy series in the 1960's.   


Now Ebsen taking on the serious role of a private investigator and helping to introduce this new series another private investigator on television back then.



William Conrad (AKA "Cannon") was in this first episode of the new "Barnaby Jones" series with 178 episodes in total produced up to 1979...







   WELL IT'S TELEVISION IN THE 1970'S FOLKS BUT MOVING ALONG 


A news summary posts a new one at Midnight tonight Eastern US Time new stories like the British Army spying on people during COVID.


They found a "whistleblower" in connection with this if they want to "unify" people for war they have to dump this stuff out restore people's confidence in institutions like the military???


Well let's head for the closing tonight and this quote:




"The longer this lifetime goes, the more convinced I am that our primary responsibility in life is to find a way to make peace with ourselves, our past and our present--no matter what we face and no matter how often we need to do that.



It's also our job to mindfully practice self-love.  Every day.  For all our lives. It's not a narcissistic or obnoxiously selfish attitude toward life and our relationships.   Self-love is a humbler, quieter thing.  You'll get used to it.    I like it; you may too."

Good Night.   God Bless.      As the prayer says there is things I can't change and there are things I can change so I hope you can accept and let go of what you can't change and accept and get ahold of what you can change...
