RT | April 17, 2018 Several sources in Syria said the overnight deployment of anti-aircraft weapons at a military base was triggered by a false alarm, not an actual missile attack, as previously claimed by some media outlets. Syrian TV earlier reported a missile attack on Shayrat Airbase in Homs governorate, while a Lebanese media […]

By John W. Whitehead | Rutherford Institute | April 16, 2018 Let us not mince words. We are living in an age of war profiteers. We are living in an age of scoundrels, liars, brutes and thugs. Many of them work for the U.S. government. We are living in an age of monsters. Ask Donald […]
Joe Ricketts' Ending Spending Fund was founded to help candidates with the primitive idea that federal budgets need to be "balanced," basically so that government could not engage in doing any good for citizens or for society at large. Spending creates national wealth, something conservative nincompoops like the Ricketts family refuses to understand.
(ZHE) — The Syrian military announced at approximately 1:10 A.M. local time that the Israeli Air Force fired several missiles towards the Shayrat Airbase and its surrounding area in the Homs Governorate. According to the statement, the Syrian Air Defense managed to intercept several of the missiles, but there was no mention as to whether or not the […]
(RPI) — Over the weekend, President Trump celebrated firing more than 100 missiles into Syria by Tweeting, “Mission Accomplished!” They say if you cannot learn from history you are condemned to repeat it. So I guess we are repeating it. We all remember that “Mission Accomplished” was the banner behind then-President Bush as he gloated aboard a […]

Going over the Friday night’s post-mortem in Syria, and pondering the Tripartite powers’ apparent decimation of international law. It seems that the US, Britain and France have a lot to answer for now. Meanwhile, the BBC offers a platform to a Syrian terrorist moonlighting as a White Helmet-terrorist, and Rupert Murdoch continues pumping out fake news on Syria.

Tensions were palpable at the UN Security Council afterwards, with sparks flying between US, UK and Russian representatives, as the Tripartite powers are accused of flouting international law and undermining the United Nations itself.
UN Ambassador Nikki Haley claims the US are “locked and loaded” for another strike should another uncanny ‘chemical weapons’ incident manifest itself on social media, which seems to leave the potential for more staged incidents designed to draw the US and its allies into another round of illegal military aggression in Syria.

Trump’s attack on Syria was pure theatrics with instant claim “Mission Accomplished”, but doesn’t prove that Syria used chemical weapons….--blame game continues, as Britain says Syria and Russia are blocking OPCW investigators from Douma
--Norman Solomon comments that that attack as a salute to “Russiagate faithful”
Truth-telling counts for nothing at all in DC; it's all about working within a narrative, positioning, marketing. When he announced he was bailing, Paul Ryan looked into the camera and, as he so often does, lied. He said he's certain the Republicans would hold the House majority.
(TIM) — Hours before the United States, the UK, and France carried out “limited” strikes last Saturday morning, the Russian military presented what it claimed to be proof that the chemical weapons attack used as the pretext for those strikes was staged at the behest of the UK government. During a Friday briefing, the Russian Defense Ministry showed interviews […]
A political backlash is already underway in the West following the US, UK and French joint missile strike on Syria last Friday.
Dr. Michael Savage is American’s number one political talk radio host and prolific best-selling author. Many will argue that it was Savage’s pivotal Conservative endorsement which helped push Trump over the finish line in America’s 2016 Presidential election. According to the radio host, because of his bellicose attack on Syria, Trump is now hemorrhaging credibility with his core support base.
By James O’Neill | OffGuardian | April 16, 2018 The perils of coming to premature conclusions before all the facts are available has been starkly demonstrated by the latest developments in the alleged nerve gas attack upon the former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English town of Salisbury on […]
I recently joined Robbie Martin of Media Roots to discussion the Salisbury poisoning, the Skripals, the Syrian airstrikes and the general state of politics and Russophobia. We covered many of the reasons to be sceptical of the official story about the poisoning of the Skripals, how this relates to the situation in Syria, and a […](Read more...)

I am like everyone else today, in trying to make sense of WHY in the hell the US government launched their "cruise missile" assault on the innocent nation of Syria two days ago, when all of the evidence clearly shows that there was NO "chemical weapons" attack by the Syrian government and in fact by all appearances it was absolutely 100% a staged event and a false flag.

“Mission accomplished,” says the President. What, exactly, was the mission? And what exactly was accomplished? Donald Trump is being mocked for using this phrase in a tweet to praise what he claims was a “perfectly executed” airstrike against chemical weapons facilities in Syria. This recalls George W. Bush’s egregious evocation of the phrase in 2003 to claim an early end[Read More...]
The United States government has once again shamelessly violated international law. There was no legal or moral justification for launching more than a 100 missile strikes against so-called chemical weapons’ sites in Syria on the 14th of April 2018. Unlike the last strike targeting a single airfield in April 2017 which was also in retaliation for President Bashar Assad’s[Read More...]

Tell the Senate: Block Trump’s War Cabinet
Trump’s new cabinet nominees risk putting us on paths to war with Iran and North Korea. They’ve overseen and support torture, and will continue American support for the Saudi war in Yemen. The Senate must reject them.
Sign the petition and tell your senators now and tell them to block Trump’s War Cabinet by opposing the nominations of Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel.

Press TV – April 16, 2018 Russia says a visit by inspectors from the United Nations chemical watchdog to the site of an alleged gas attack in Syria’s Douma has been delayed due to recent Western airstrikes on the Arab country. “This is the latest conjecture of our British colleagues,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov […]

By Norman Solomon | CounterPunch | April 16, 2018 Politicians, pundits and activists who’ve routinely denounced President Trump as a tool of Vladimir Putin can now mull over a major indicator of their cumulative impacts.

On March 22nd, Isaac Larian, a man who has made his fortune in the toy and entertainment industry, launched a billion-dollar GoFundMe campaign to “save Toys-R-Us.” Since its inception, the campaign has accumulated $200,057,000, though two-hundred million of those dollars are from Larian and affiliated investors.
Now, if private investors like Larian and his affiliates truly think they can restructure the business and make it profitable again, they should do so by all means.

The American, British, French tripartite aggression against Syria last Friday, April 13th, is a grave international war crime violating article 51 of the United Nation charter, that forbids any state to attack any other sovereign state except in the case of self-defense, or with the consent of a majority of UN members according to chapter seven. Added to this crime[Read More...]
After losing consumers to the convenience of Amazon and online retail in general, many brick and mortar locations are finally realizing that they must either innovate or cease to exist. And this change in attitude is in part thanks to the new Amazon Go location in Seattle.
The propaganda and false flags initiated by the western Deep State establishment are well documented…but the latest Douma false flag chemical attack may be the one that finally exposes the disgusting lies told by Haley, Trump, Macron, May, Boris, western mainstream media, and all the other actors who pushed for war with Syria.
Press TV – April 16, 2018 Britain’s opposition Labour Party has released an expert opinion about the recent US-led air strikes against Syria, describing them as unlawful. Tom Watson, the deputy Labour leader, released the five-page legal opinion from Dapo Akande, a professor of public international law at Oxford University. A summary of Akande’s conclusions […]
Current proposed legislation aims to rein in homeschooling families and require government monitoring, including forming an advisory committee to investigate, and potentially “reform,” homeschooling. As NPR reports: “That could be anything from home inspections to credentialing teachers to setting specific curriculums.”
