The alleged horrific gas attack in the Idlib Governorate of Syria has now been fully debunked as fake news. This has not stopped CNN and many (if not all) mainstream media outlets to push the “Assad gassed his own people” lie once again.
Remember this fake news in 2013…
Civilians and fighting forces, including Kurdish militias, have all claimed that militant groups that operate in Idlib, Hama and Aleppo countrysides, have used chemical weapons in the past. Therefore, before the war cries begin and the denouncement of the government from high officials in power positions begin, time must be given so that all evidence can emerge.

Hours after an apparently self-evident false flag chemical attack in Idlib, Sean Spicer affirmed that it is no longer US policy to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power.
Spicer said,
“There is not a fundamental option of regime change as there has been in the past”.
The White House Press Secretary continued,
An alleged chemical attack in Idlib has been blamed on the Syrian government and on Russia.
The allegations can scarcely be taken serious for the following reasons:
1. Syria Does Not Have Chemical Weapons
Not only did the Syrian government deny using chemical weapons, but they released a statement stating that the Syrian military
“…has not and does not use them, not in the past and not in the future, because it does not have them in the first place”.

The Western mainstream media continue their intentional and highly concerted, and coordinated effort to run fake news about events in Syria, and in other conflict areas too.
Here is just the latest of many documented examples of this practice of deception which western media outlets have been running about Syria since the conflict began in 2011…
(MEE) The US military has admitted that jets from its coalition launched a devastating air attack that led to the deaths of at least 42 people in a mosque in Syria’s Aleppo province.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said missiles hit the mosque in the rebel-held village of al-Jina, south-west of Atarib in the western Aleppo countryside, on Thursday.
The anti-Iranian rhetoric from Donald Trump’s administration has reached new heights. This comes amidst an atmosphere that one can only describe as foreign policy confusion.
Donald Trump’s major executive orders have been entirely concerned with domestic policy. This has come at the expensive of any cohesive statements let alone actions in foreign policy.
As a result Obama’s foreign policy apparatus continues to churn out lethal attacks whilst some of Trump’s closest advisors churn out dangerously irresponsible rhetoric.
An under-reported fact about the Syrian war is that away from the major battles underway against ISIS in Al-Bab, Palmyra and Deir Ezzor, the fiercest fighting in Syria over the last two weeks has been in Jihadi controlled Idlib where Al-Qaeda has effectively declared war on Jihadi groups that are participating in the Russian-Turkish brokered ceasefire and in the Astana peace process.
