<p><br/>13Buddha–Pulverized buildings were shown which are reportedly the remains of a research facility in Damascus after a cruise missile blitz. The article states that the RAF joined US and French forces in unleashing a “blitz on evil Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapon capabilities…”<br/><a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6041478/syria-air-strikes-bombing-strike-uk-us-chemical-weapons-assad-latest-pentagon-russia/">https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6041478/syria-air-strikes-bombing-strike-uk-us-chemical-weapons-assad-latest-pentagon-russia/</a><br/>Okay, so here we have “NTI Building a Safer World” with NTI’s primary biological weapons agent facility reportedly to be located at the Damascus-based Scientific Research Council. Here anthrax, cholera, and botulism are developed by the Biological Research Facility and produced. It is believed that all research, development, and production activities and facilities associated with the Biological Weapons program are under the direct control of the Centre D’Etude et Recherche Scientifique (CERS). On April 14, 2018, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a CERS facility in Damascus had been potentially struck during US missile strikes on chemical weapons sites. Pentagon officials later reported that the facility had been destroyed. What in the hell is NTI all about???<br/><a href="http://www.nti.org/learn/countries/syria/">http://www.nti.org/learn/countries/syria/</a><br/><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Scientific_Studies_and_Research_Center">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Scientific_Studies_and_Research_Center</a><br/>Whatever NTI is, it is also located in Washington D.C. Its website says the following: “Every day, we work to prevent catastrophic attacks with weapons of mass destruction and disruption – nuclear, biological, radiological, chemical and cyber. Working with leaders, partners, and citizens around the world to develop policies to reduce reliance on nuclear wapons, prevent their use, and end them as a threat.”<br/>Here’s the shocker – The Board of Directors include Ernest J. Moniz, Sam Nunn, Ted Turner, Des Browne, Joan Rohlfing, Ambassador Hamad Alkaabi, Alexy Arbatov, Charles A. Bowsher, Edmund G. Brown, Jr., Liru Cui, Rolf Ekeus, Gideon Frank, Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., and several more.<br/>Its advisors include Warren E. Buffett, David A. Hamburg, and Siegfried S. Hecker. <a href="http://www.nti.org/about/board-and-advisors/">http://www.nti.org/about/board-and-advisors/</a><br/>I can’t figure out exactly what NTI is or does, but something is very, very wrong.</p>

<p><span>Monday 17 April 2017 </span><span class="content__dateline-time">10.16 BST</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">At least 12 people have suffered burns as a result of a suspected noxious substance in a London nightclub packed with hundreds of bank holiday revellers.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">It is understood that the incident at the Mangle E8 nightclub near Dalston, east London, early on Monday prompted the evacuation of the venue where about 600 people had been at an event. About 200 had left the premises before emergency services arrived, with a further 400 evacuated from the events space.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">The fire brigade, police, ambulances and a hazardous area response team were sent to the venue and closed surrounding roads.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-4">The London ambulance service said it had taken 10 patients to hospital, while police said another two people with similar injuries sought treatment at a hospital.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">TECTONIC WEAPONS Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, quoted as saying at a conference in April 1997, “Others are engaging even in an eco type of terrorism, whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes or volcanos remotely, through the use of electromagnetic waves.” Bill 107th CONGRESS, 1st Session, H. R. 2977 To preserve the cooperative, peaceful uses of space for the benefit of all humankind by permanently prohibiting the basing of weapons in space by the United States, and to require the President to take action to adopt and implement a world treaty banning space-based weapons</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Russia, carried out an extensive “tectonic weapon” research program</strong></span>, a deliberate attempt <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>to create earthquakes using underground nuclear weapons.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Russian newspaper Moscow News has obtained papers showing that the program, first known as “Mercury” and later as “Volcano,” was launched in 1987 and ended in 1992(?) ISTC Project 1545 MHD Induced Seismicity. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The objective of this Project is to determine physical nature of the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>induced seismicity under electromagnetic impact caused by the MHD</strong> <strong>generator</strong></span> and to develop a technology of the controlled <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>electromagnetic impact (EMI)</strong></span> on the Earth crust aimed at the seismic hazard reduction.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Seismicity is a process that is highly sensitive to external impacts, both natural and technogenic. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The induced seismicity is caused mainly by human technological activity.</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Changes in the seismicity regime are observed during water-storage reservoir flooding; in the regions where intensive oil & gas extraction takes place; during deep-well disposal of wastes, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also stated is the fact that <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>underground nuclear explosions</strong></span> may effect spatio-temporal seismicity distribution and initiate its increase at separations up to 200-2,000 km.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, principally new results are obtained concerning the seismicity regime variation under the <strong>EMI</strong> (<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Electro Magnetic Impulse</strong></span>) caused by the MHD generator. The preliminary analysis of the EMI results shows the following principal features of such induced seismicity: Significant spatio-temporal variations of the seismicity regime are revealed: the seismic activity after the MHD runs is pronouncedly higher than before the runs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sharp activation of local earthquakes takes place on 2th-7th day after the MHD runs,</strong></span> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">its duration being within several days.</span></strong> The increment of the total energy release after the MHD runs is 5 to 6 orders of magnitude higher than total energy inserted into the load from the MHD generator.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Also noted is a tendency to spatial coincidence of the induced seismicity zones with the active areas of seismogenerating zones. The analysis seismicity variation with depth shows that the highest response takes place in the upper 5-km layer of the earth crust. The external impact is assumed to initiate release of seismic energy accumulated in the media during the tectonic processes in the form of relatively weak earthquakes thus lowering the threshold level of strong catastrophic earthquakes.</p> SEE VIDEO ON GMO FOODS - It's Worse Than We Thought!tag:12160.info,2014-02-10:2649739:Topic:14115922014-02-10T12:01:47.719Z14300https://12160.info/profile/14300

<div style="text-align: left; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none;">In the meantime, many health experts now warn us to take the only positive action available to protect our health — avoiding GMOs as much as humanly possible. But considering the fact that GMOs are hidden in over 30,000 food products, that is not an easy task. <br/><br/>Fortunately, one courageous doctor has stepped up to the plate. Dr. Russell Blaylock, one of America’s leading medical researchers and nutritionists, has created a <a href="http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/video_gmo.cfm?promo_code=15FF8-1"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><strong>special free video presentation</strong></u></span></a> that explains the hidden health hazards of GMOs. Dr. Blaylock will show you how to protect your family from GMOs and their dangers — aisle by aisle at the grocery store.<br/><br/>Dr. Blaylock’s new video presentation exposes how GMO ingredients and other harmful additives are hidden on labels under safe-sounding names. In fact, you’ll see some of the actual labels and find out what to watch for.<br/><br/>And those stickers pasted onto fruits and vegetables? Using real examples, you’ll learn a simple way to tell the difference between GMO produce that may also be packed with harmful pesticides and herbicides, and produce that is safe and natural.<br/><br/><a href="http://w3.newsmax.com/blaylock/video_gmo.cfm?promo_code=15FF8-1"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><u><strong>Cracking the GMO Code</strong></u></span></a><br/><br/><br/><br/>Read Latest Breaking News from Newsmax.com <a style="color: #003399;" href="http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/MKTNews/gmo-dangerous-organic-food/2013/12/04/id/540010#ixzz2sv6R0ed8">http://www.newsmaxhealth.com/MKTNews/gmo-dangerous-organic-food/2013/12/04/id/540010#ixzz2sv6R0ed8</a> <br/>Alert: What Is Your Risk for a Heart Attack? <a style="color: #003399;" href="http://www.simplehearttest.com/heartsurvey.aspx?PROMO_CODE=10F01-1"target="_blank"">Find Out Now</a></div> Former Chief of Staff: Syrian Chemical Weapon Narrative Could Be An Israeli False Flagtag:12160.info,2013-05-03:2649739:Topic:11883452013-05-03T22:33:54.572ZCryptocurrencyhttps://12160.info/profile/KRYPKE32

<p><strong>Jurriaan Maessen</strong><br/> Infowars.com<br/> May 3, 2013</p>
<p>Former chief of staff to Colin Powell, Retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, told the Young Turks the early “indications” of the use of chemical weapons by the Syrian regime could point to “an Israeli false flag operation”. Wilkerson:</p>
<p>“We don’t know what the chain of custody is. This could’ve been an Israeli false flag operation, it could’ve been an opposition in Syria… or it could’ve been an actual use by [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad, but we certainly don’t know with the evidence we’ve been given.”</p>
<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pOb8CA9Znuw?feature=player_embedded&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</p>
<p></p>
<p>This statement is revealing not only in the fact that the information is at best dubious, but also that false flag operations are by no means considered unthinkable or outlandish by the former Bush administration official as a much-used geopolitical tool. As former chief of staff to Colin Powell, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Wilkerson" target="_blank">Wilkerson</a> would know.</p>
<p>On April 30, Kurt Nimmo <a href="http://www.infowars.com/syrian-chemical-weapons-globalist-mag-says-kucinich-is-infowars-conspiracy-theorist/" target="_blank">wrote an article</a> about Foreign Policy writer John Hudson, <a href="http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/04/29/us_manufactured_false_intel_on_chemical_weapons_in_syria_winks_dennis_kucinich" target="_blank">portraying</a> Dennis Kucinich as a conspiracy theorist for suggesting that allegations Syria used chemical weapons are part of a manufactured pretext for war.</p>
<p>“John Hudson”, Nimmo points out, “who writes on national security issues for the magazine, believes Kucinich may have been influenced by Infowars.com and Wikileaks.”</p>
<p>If Hudson is correct, not only the former Ohio congressman is being influenced by Infowars. Colin Powell’s former chief of staff appears to get his information exclusively from Infowars, never mind his insider knowledge in regards to covert warfare techniques employed by intelligence agencies. Another person who probably doesn’t exclusively rely on Inforwars.com for his information on the reality of false flag ops is 30 year CIA veteran and current Brookings senior fellow, Bruce Riedel. In his article <a href="http://www.brookings.edu/research/opinions/2013/02/03-algeria-riedel" target="_blank">Algeria a Complex Ally in War Against al Qaeda</a>, Riedel gives a description of the Algerian counter-terrorism unit DRS and its methods, including the use of false flag operations:</p>
<p>“(The) DRS is (…) known for its tactic of infiltrating terrorist groups, creating “false flag” terrorists and trying to control them. Rumors have associated the DRS in the past with the Malian warlord Iyad Ag Ghali, head of Ansar al Dine AQIM’s ally in Mali, and even with Mukhtar Belmukhtar, the al-Qaeda terrorist who engineered the attack on the natural gas plant.”</p>
<p>In my original June 29, 2009 article titled <a href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/brookings-publication-mentions-possibility-of-horrific-provocation-to-trigger-iran-invasion.html" target="_blank">Brookings Publication mentions possibility of ‘Horrific Provocation’ to Trigger Iran Invasion</a> I cover false flag proposals made by the Brookings Institute in Iranian context, again, as a pretext to further a geopolitical agenda by the West. In their <a href="http://www.brookings.edu/%7E/media/research/files/papers/2009/6/iran%20strategy/06_iran_strategy" target="_blank">Which Path To Persia document</a> the Brookings people openly considered a “provocation” to escalate things to the point of armed conflict:</p>
<p>“(…) it is not impossible”, they write, “that Tehran might take some action that would justify an American invasion. And it is certainly the case that if Washington sought such a provocation, it could take actions that might make it more likely that Tehran would do so (although being too obvious about this could nullify the provocation). However, since it would be up to Iran to make the provocation move (…), the United States would never know for sure when it would get the requisite Iranian provocation. In fact, it might never come at all.”</p>
<p>The Brookings document also contemplates “something on the order of an Iranian-backed 9/11, in which the plane wore Iranian markings and Tehran boasted about its sponsorship.(…). The entire question of “options” become irrelevant at that point: what American president could refrain from an invasion after the Iranians had just killed several thousand American civilians in an attack in the United States itself?”</p>
<p>In September of 2012, a member of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) think tank also proposed a false flag operation to kick off a military conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The think tank’s director of research Patrick Clawson stated:</p>
<p>“(…) if (…) the Iranians aren’t going to compromise, it would be best if somebody else started the war.”</p>

For the first time in history, the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Chinese government is now openly admitting that severe exposure to chemicals via water pollution, air pollution and environmental pollution is causing the rise of "cancer villages" across China.</span></strong></span></span><br/> <br/> <strong><span class="font-size-3">Their report states:</span></strong><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3"><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><i>Poisonous and harmful chemical materials have brought about many water and atmosphere emergencies... certain places are even seeing 'cancer villages'...</i> </span></strong>(<strong><a href="http://www.france24.com/en/20130222-china-admits-pollution-linked-cancer-villages">Source</a></strong>)</span><br/> <br/> <strong><span class="font-size-3">It goes on to admit:</span></strong><br/> <br/> <strong><em><span class="font-size-3" style="color: #0000ff;">[China allows the use of] poisonous and harmful chemical products that are banned in developed countries and pose long-term or potential harm to human health and the ecology.</span></em></strong><br/></p>
<h1><span class="font-size-4" style="color: #ff0000;">China is a nation being murdered by chemical pollution</span></h1>
<p><span class="font-size-3">China can no longer deny the truth that its nation, and its people, are being <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">destroyed by toxic pollution</span></strong></span>. To appreciate the magnitude of this admission, you have to understand that China's government is steeped in the practice of <i>denial</i>. All communist regimes are, of course, delusional at every level, but <strong><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/China.html">China</a> </strong>has taken denial to a whole new depth of mastery with its longstanding insistence that environmental problems didn't really exist. If a Chinese local saw a wave of bright green sludge pouring down a local river and they complained to the government, they were simply told it was caused by <strong><em>"overpopulation,</em></strong>" not by a factory dumping chemical sludge into the river.</span><br/> <br/> <strong><span class="font-size-4" style="color: #ff0000;">Pollution? What <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/pollution.html"><span style="color: #ff0000;">pollution</span></a>? Huh?</span></strong><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">In reality, <strong>China has the worst pollution problem</strong>s of any modern nation on our planet. It has allowed industry to explode at the cost of devastating environmental destruction. Virtually <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">no environmental regulations</span></strong></span> are enforced. The air, water and food are <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span></strong></span> toxic. <strong>Ninety percent of the water supply to Chinese cities is severely contaminated, and forty percent of the nation's rivers are extremely toxic</strong>.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">This is how "<strong><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/cancer_villages.html">cancer villages</a></strong>" appear, of course: People living in China eat the food grown in China. They breathe the air. They drink the water. And then they start mutating at the genetic level. <em><strong>This results in cancer, birth defects and untold human suffering.</strong></em></span><br/></p>
<h1><span class="font-size-4" style="color: #ff0000;">How do foods grown in China get certified organic?</span></h1>
<p><span class="font-size-3">There have been warnings over the past few days that the food grown in China can be "<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">certified organic</span></strong></span>" needs to be seriously questioned. This is especially true given that <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><b>organic certification does not test for, nor limit, the level of contamination allowed in foods</b></span>. A <strong><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/food.html">food</a> </strong>product from China <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">can contain 500ppm of mercury</span></strong></span>, for example, and <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">still be "certified organic" by the USDA</span></strong></span>.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">How does this happen? The USDA licenses organic certifiers to operate in China. Those local certifiers then visit the local farms and make sure they comply with organic certification requirements. Those requirements include not spraying petroleum-based fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides on crops; not using synthetic hormones in animal feed; not planting GMOs, and so on. But organic standards utterly lack any limits on <b>the pollution of irrigation water</b> sprayed on crops. They do not limit <b><span style="color: #ff0000;">how close your crops can be to a</span> <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/chemical.html">chemical</a> <span style="color: #ff0000;">plant</span></b>, nor do they limit the level of heavy metals contamination in the final product.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">So, by definition, a <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">China-grown "organic" food or superfood can be irrigated with toxic chemical runoff, bathed in chemical plant fallout, and grown in heavy metals-laced soil, and still be "certified organic" and sold at Whole Foods</span></strong></span>!</span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">This realization shocks a lot of people. They had no idea that <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">such heavily contaminated foods could be certified organic and sold at health food stores in the USA.</span></strong></span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3">And now, this new report from <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">China's environmental ministry further supports the severity of the problem</span></strong> there. How are people getting cancer in "cancer villages" all across China? By eating the food grown in China! By drinking the water and breathing the same air that falls on crops in China.</span><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Why would people who are trying to buy the cleanest, purest food and supplements in North America want to source something grown in the same nation where "cancer villages" are sprouting up like cancer tumors?</span></strong><br/> <br/> <strong>There's a lot <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;">more</span> to this article. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">Please read at:</span></span></strong> <strong><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/039212_China_pollution_cancer_villages.html#ixzz2LwcSR5Bg" target="_blank">NATURAL NEWS</a></strong></span></p>

<p>As the sabre rattling against Syria gets ever louder, the allegations ever wilder and double standards, stirring, plotting and terrorist financing (sorry: “aiding the legitimate opposition”) neon lit, it is instructive to look at the justifications presented by US Administrations for a <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">few</span></span></strong> other murderous incursions in recent history.</p>
<p>This month is the twenty <span id="IL_AD7" class="IL_AD">third anniversary</span> of <strong>the US invasion of Panama</strong> on 20th December 1989, as Panamanians prepared their Christmas celebrations. A quick check reminds the late Philip Agee recalling President <span id="IL_AD5" class="IL_AD">George H</span>.W. Bush telling the American people that the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">threat from Panama (pop: 3,571,185 – 2011)</span></strong></span> was such that: <em><strong>“<span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;">our way of life is at stake.”</span></strong></em><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"> </span>Agee referred to this in his aptly named talk <span style="text-decoration: underline;">“Producing the Proper Crisis.”</span>(i) Apt then as now. Nothing changes.</p>
<p>The aim of the invasion was to capture the country’s leader <strong>General Manuel Noriega</strong> and, of course, to: “establish a <strong>democratic</strong> government.” Regime change.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800321469?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="220" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800321469?profile=RESIZE_320x320" width="220" class="align-left"/></a>With the approaching transfer of control of the Panama Canal to Panama (originally scheduled for 1st January 1990) after a <span id="IL_AD8" class="IL_AD">century of</span> US colonial <span id="IL_AD11" class="IL_AD">stewardship</span>, America wanted to ensure it was in the hands of malleable allies.</p>
<p>Noriega <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>a CIA asset,</strong></span> since 1967 (ii) who had also attended the notorious School of the Americas, at Fort Benning, Georgia, came to power with US backing, but seemingly his support for the US was cooling. To encapsulate a long story, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>the US kidnapped him and sentenced him to forty years in jail</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Plans to invade were called: <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>“Operation Prayer Book.</strong></span>” It was later re-named <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>“Operation Just Cause”</strong></span>, with General Colin Powell commenting that it was a moniker of which he approved as: ”Even our severest critics would have to utter ‘Just Cause’ whilst denouncing us.” (Colin Powell, with Jospeh E. Persico: “My American Journey”, 1995.)</p>
<p><em>[All military marauding should simply be called: “Operation Silly Name 1, then 2,3,4” etc., until the numbers finally run out.]</em></p>
<p>Twenty seven thousand US troops backed by <span id="IL_AD9" class="IL_AD">Apache helicopters</span> decimated much of the small country, with a <strong>defense force of just three thousand</strong>. George Bush Snr., said he was removing an evil dictator who was brutalizing his own people <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> (sound familiar?)</em></span> and that the action was needed to:” <strong>protect American lives.</strong>” It was also to: <strong>“defend democracy and human rights in Panama”</strong> – and to <strong>“protect the Canal.”</strong> <em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Surprise, eh?</strong></span></em></p>
<p>Manuel Noriega was released from US jail in 2007, extradited to France which had awarded him the country’s highest honor The Legion d’honneur in 1987. He remained in jail in France until December 2011, when he was returned to Panama, where he is <strong><em>still</em></strong> imprisoned.</p>
<p>In the near <span id="IL_AD1" class="IL_AD">forgotten</span> Panama decimation (unless you are Panamanian) the densely populated, poverty stricken neighborhood of <strong>El Chorillo was incinerated by American actions</strong> to such an extent that it became named <strong>“Little Hiroshima.”</strong></p>
<p>One woman charged that: <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>“The North Americans began burning down El Chorillo at about 6.30 in the morning. They would throw a small device in to a house and it would<span id="IL_AD2" class="IL_AD">catch on</span> fire – then they would move to another, they burned from one street to the next, coordinating the burning on walkie-talkies.”</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/panama-hace-20-annos-07.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800323811?profile=original" width="300" class="align-right"/></a>A US soldier was recorded stating: <strong>“We ask you to surrender … if you do not, we are prepared to level each and every building.”</strong></p>
<p>“<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Everything that moved they shot</strong></span>”, said a city resident.</p>
<p>The dead were consigned to mass graves with witnesses stating that US troops used flame throwers on the dead, noting the bodies shriveling as they burned. Others were bulldozed in to piles.(iii)</p>
<p>There was worse. As the current self righteous, if contradictory statements flow from Washington and Whitehall about Syria’s unproven <span id="IL_AD12" class="IL_AD">chemical weapons</span>, proven facts relate to America’s.</p>
<p><strong>“From the 1940s to the 1990s the United States used various parts of Panama as a testing ground for chemical weapons, including mustard gas, VX, sarin, hydrogen cyanide and other nerve agents in … mines, rockets and shells; perhaps tens of thousands of chemical <span id="IL_AD10" class="IL_AD">munitions</span>.” <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>(William Blum: Rogue State, 2002.)</em></span></strong></p>
<p>Further, on departing Panama at the end of 1999 they left: “many sites containing chemical weapons. They had also: “conducted secret tests of <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong><span id="IL_AD6" class="IL_AD">Agent Orange</span></strong></span> in Panama …” In the 1989 invasion, the village of Pacora, near Panama City: “was bombed with (chemicals) by helicopters and aircraft from US Southern Command, with substances that burned skin, caused intense pain and diarrhea.”</p>
<p>Many analysts felt that <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Panama was the testing ground for Iraq</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Nine months after the poisoning of Panama, on Hiroshima Day 1990, the strangulating US-driven embargo on Iraq was enforced by the UN, after the US Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie had given the green light for <strong>Saddam Hussein</strong> to invade Kuwait, after Kuwait’s considerable provocation and financial and geographical destabilization.(iv.)</p>
<p>The hype over chemical and other weapons went in to overdrive, leading <span id="IL_AD4" class="IL_AD">Saddam Hussein</span> to comment: <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>“I am afraid, one day, you will say ‘You are going to make gunpowder out of wheat.’</em></span> ”</p>
<p>Thirteen months after Panama, America led a <strong>thirty one country coalition</strong> to “reduce Iraq to a pre-industrial age.” The only chemicals released from Iraq were the poisonous mix from the bombed pharmaceutical and fertilizer factories, the car manufacturing plants and the factories of Iraq’s entire industrial base, including the compounds holding the chemical and biological substances, including medical ones, sold to Iraq by the US, UK Germany and others over the previous decades, sales ironically, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>still ongoing</strong></span> at the time of the onslaught. (v.)</p>
<p>Highly toxic and radioactive substances were introduced into Iraq however, in the form of up to <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">750 tonnes of chemically toxic and radioactive depleted uranium munitions</span></strong> (DU) which have a toxic “half life” of 4.5 billion years. Iraq’s litany of deformed, still born, aborted babies, infants born with cancers, the tiny graves, silent testimony to weapons of mass destruction of unique wickedness. Iraq was bombed for <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>forty two days and nights</strong></span>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The hyped chemical weapons alleged to have been manufactured by Iraq were, of course, never deployed.</strong></span></p>
<p>On 24th March 1999, NATO began to liberate Kosovo from Serbia. <strong>(US Silly Name: Operation Noble Anvil)</strong> Kosovo had an estimated ten trillion dollars worth of “<strong>inexhaustible</strong>” minerals in the Trebca mines.</p>
<p>The “liberation” was <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>seventy eight days of relentless bombardment, including use of depleted uranium weaponry.</strong></span> 20,000 tonnes of bombs were dispatched. Destroyed systematically were communications centers fuel depots, airports, traffic communications, trains, markets, the Chinese Embassy – China was against the attack, NATO, resoundingly unconvincingly, said they had the wrong map. And of course, the media center Murdering journalists is now another routine, unaccountable war crime.</p>
<p>Before the attack, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">the Pentagon stated that the Army of Yugoslavia possessed at least two kinds of poisonous gasses, with the facilities to produce them</span></strong>. The US Department of Defense warned Slobodan <span id="IL_AD3" class="IL_AD">Milosevic</span> the General Staff of the Yugoslav Army : “If Belgrade uses poisonous gasses sarin and mustard gas against NATO, the response of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will be devastating.”</p>
<p>Oddly, after the air strikes began, NATO mentioned not one word to indicate that it was attacking Serbia’s US-stated capacity to produce chemical weapons. (Zagred Globus, 16th April 1999, pp 18-19.)</p>
<p>The industrial scale destruction, however, left the Trebca mines unscathed.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.globalresearch.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ThaciUN1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800323908?profile=original" width="300" class="align-left"/></a>On 14th August 2000, 900 heavily armed British, French, Italian, Pakistani and KFOR troops were landed from helicopters at the mines. Managers and workers tried to fight them off and were beaten, tear gassed with plastic bullets used. The resisting staff were arrested.</p>
<p>UN papers described the action as: “<span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>induction of democratization in Kosovo.</strong></span>” The attack in fact, paved the way for selling of the mines -containing “the inexhaustible” estimated 77,302,000 tons of coal, copper, zinc, lead, nickel, gold, silver, marble, manganese, iron ore, asbestos and limestone “to name a few” – to <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>private foreign groups</strong></span>. (News reports, websites.)</p>
<p>The “Kosovo Liberation Army” had been: “ … trained for years and supported with millions of US dollars and German Marks … through the CIA and BND” (German Intelligence) “for this war, misleadingly called a civil war”(vi) by NATO governments and spokespersons.</p>

<p><strong>DU’s chemical and radiological properties were rained down throughout former Yugoslavia too. By 2001, doctors in the Serb run hospital in Kosovo Mitrovica stated that the number of patients suffering from malignant diseases had increased by two hundred percent since a 1998 survey.</strong></p>
<p>A 2003 study by the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>UN Environment Programme (UNEP) found drinking water and air samples contaminated in Bosnia Herzegovina.</strong></span> There was, of course: “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">no cause for alarm.</span>” Pekka Haavisto, former Environment Minister of Finland, Heading UNEP, called for a wide and thorough scientific investigation to establish the full extent and hazards of the contamination. The US – cited as the only country to use DU weaponry in that conflict – blocked the request. (vii.)</p>
<p>However alarm was raised in Europe when Italian, Portuguese, Belgian and French peacekeepers in the region developed cancers, within a matter of months, a high proportion of those diagnosed died. Norwegian peacekeepers refused to be deployed.(viii.)</p>
<p>“Less than a month after the war in Yugoslavia ended in 1999, the British National Radiological Protection Board warned British citizens about the dangers from staying in Kosovo because of the <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">contamination</span></strong> of its territories by D.U. weapons.”</p>
<p>The peacekeepers, of course were there for just weeks or months, the people of the region live there, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">the plight of their health and that of future generations ignored and forgotten by their “liberators.</span></strong>” They had other “tyrants” to topple, other populations to relieve of their lives and limbs and livelihoods.</p>
<p>Iraq, had again been bombed by the US and UK during the Christmas season of 1998, four months before the assault on Yugoslavia and had been back on the invasion radar ever since. The lies were familiar – and relentless, a currently topical example, one of of countless:</p>
<p><span class="font-size-3"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">“2nd Sept. 2002: Experts: Iraq has tons of chemical weapons".</span></strong></span></p>
<p>“As some in the Bush administration press the case for a <strong>pre-emptive strike</strong> against Iraq, weapons experts say there is mounting evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has amassed large stocks of chemical and biological weapons he is hiding from a possible U.S. military attack.</p>
<p>“Washington’s concern is that Iraq could supply those weapons to terrorist groups … ‘If we wait for the danger to become clear, it could be too late’ said Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Delaware, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.”</p>
<p>With Biden now Vice President, it is impossible not to wonder whether he has any input in to the Syria spin, with its uncannily similar words.</p>
<p>“Jon Wolfsthal, an analyst with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said Iraq’s inventory is significant: ‘Iraq continues to possess several tons of chemical weapons agents, enough to kill thousands and thousands of civilians or soldiers’, Wolfsthal said.” (ix)</p>
<p>Further: “U.N. weapons experts have said Iraq may have stockpiled more than 600 metric tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX and sarin. Some 25,000 rockets and 15,000 artillery shells with chemical agents are also unaccounted for, the experts said.</p>
<p>“The concern is they either have on hand — or could quickly re-create the capability to produce — vast amounts of anthrax, tons of material”, was Wolfsthal’s additional spin.</p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800324076?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800324076?profile=original" width="440" class="align-left"/></a>“Defense Secretary <strong>Donald Rumsfeld</strong>” asserted :“… Iraq has <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">mobile biological weapons laboratories</span></strong>, which would be nearly impossible for U.S. forces to target.” The lives of thousands of people were at stake, he said. Indeed, since the invasion, Iraqi deaths at American and British hands or that of their militias, and imposed puppet government, are nothing short of a holocaust.</p>
<p>According to Jonathan Schwartz, who revisited <strong>General Colin Powell</strong>’s pack of lies on Iraq to the UN on 5th February 2003 : “ My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">solid sources</span></strong>. These are not assertions. What we’re giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence …” Powell is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>now</strong></em></span> regretful.</p>
<p>Schwartz is unsympathetic. On the fifth anniversary of Powell’s misleading nonsense, 5th February 2008, he commented: “As much criticism as Powell has received for this – he calls it ‘painful’ and something that will ‘always be a part of my record’ – it hasn’t been close to what’s justified. Powell was far more than just horribly mistaken, the evidence is conclusive that he <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;">fabricated</span></strong></span> evidence and ignored repeated warnings that what he was saying was false.”</p>
<p>The entirely illegal invasion of Iraq, based on a trans-Atlantic pack of lies had commenced just forty five days later. Operation Very Silly Name? “Operation Iraqi Liberation”: OIL.</p>
<p>The lies over Libya – which under Colonel Quadaffi came top of the Human Development Index for Africa – are of recent memory. Nevertheless a few reminders:</p>
<p>CIA paid Quislings abound in the above invasions and others over many decades. Meet General Abdul Fatah Younis, Colonel Gaddafi’s Interior Minister, who “defected to the opposition” – wonder what his price was – and became chief of staff of the insurgents: “ … he pleaded for NATO allies to arm the rebels with heavy weapons, including helicopters and anti-tank missiles, to defend the besieged city of Misrata.. He predicted the dictator … would be ready to use chemical weapons in a last stand against rebels or the civilian population.” (Amazing, words straight out of the current Syria “opposition” check list.)</p>
<p>“Gaddafi is desperate now. Unfortunately he still has about 25 per cent of his chemical weapons, which he might use as he’s in a desperate situation. …”</p>
<p>“Col. Gaddafi is known to have around ten tons of mustard gas remaining from stocks that he had been destroying under the supervision of a United Nations body, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.”(x.)</p>
<p>In context, back in 2002, Neil Mackay, multi-award winning investigations Editor of the Sunday Herald explained that: <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>“Driven by greed and a profound lack of morality, the British government violated the Chemical weapons Convention by selling chemicals “that could be converted to weapons of war.”</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Countries benefiting from UK sales, Mackay stated, included <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;">Libya</span>,</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;"><strong>Yemen</strong></span>, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India, Kenya, Kuwait, Malaysia, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Turkey and Uganda, a charge the Department of Trade and Industry “clearly admitted.”</span></p>
<p>After Tony Blair’s embrace of Colonel Gaddafi in March 2004, the British government announced plans to send their experts to Libya to destroy the chemical weapons they had sold, stating that Colonel Gaddafi had misled Blair over their existence. That <strong>they had the remittance documents seems to have escaped them</strong>. <strong>Identical to UK duplicitous documents over Iraq.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Between the start of Libya’s destruction on 19th March 2011 and NATO taking over on 31st March 2011, the US and UK dropped <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">110 Cruise missiles</span> on a country with a <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">population of under six and a half million</span></strong></span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">.</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>When NATO assumed command of the “humanitarian intervention” they assaulted this minimal population with <span style="text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;">26,500 bomb- releasing sorties</span>.</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800324227?profile=original" target="_self"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1800324227?profile=original" width="228" class="align-right"/></a>There were, of course no Presidential tears for Libya’s lost children, whose demise would have been preceded by unimaginable terror, in an onslaught which had two Silly Names, one for the US: <strong>“Operation Odyssey Dawn”</strong> and one for NATO: <strong>“Operation Unified Protector”,</strong> the latter, comment defying.</p>
<p><strong>Gadaffi himself lost three small grandchildren and three sons. In 1986 in another US bombing, he lost a just toddling adopted daughter.</strong></p>
<p>Moments after she learned of his terrible death at the hands of a rabid NATO “protected” mob, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared on television laughing as she said: “We came, we saw, he died.”</strong></span></p>
<p>What an age since she said: “I really believe that it takes a village to raise a child.” Now her beliefs are apparently to wipe out the village, its children, parents and lynch the village elder for a tele-opportunity of raucous mirth.</p>
<p>On 4th December 2012, Clinton warned that Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad may be moving, guess what – a “chemical weapons stockpile.”</p>
<p>“We have made our views very clear.This is a red line for the United States. I’m not going to telegraph in any specifics what we would do in the event of credible evidence that the Assad regime has resorted to using chemical weapons against his own people, but suffice to say we are certainly planning to take action if that eventuality were to occur,” she said at a press conference in Prague.</p>
<p>Weapons of course: “could be used to contain sarin gas”, according to another U.S. official. Another added: “ … we are concerned about any move that might signal that they are somehow ready to use those chemical weapons on their own people.” (xii.)</p>
<p>“Déjà vu all over again”, as the saying goes.</p>
<p>Syria responded on 6th December: “Syria stresses again, for the tenth, the hundredth time, that if we had such weapons, they would <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">not</span></strong> be used against its people. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>We would not commit suicide</strong></span>,” Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Al Maqdad told Lebanon’s Al Manar television …”</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>“We fear there is a conspiracy to provide a pretext for any subsequent interventions in Syria by these countries that are increasing pressure on Syria.”</strong></span> Indeed. It would hardly be a first.</p>
<p>In late October US troops arrived in Jordan for a major joint exercise near the Syrian border. Operation Silly and Childish Name: “Operation Eager Lion.” Al Assad in arabic translates as: the lion.</p>
<p>Ironically the first allegation of Syria having chemical weapons would seem to have come from <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>John R. Bolton</strong></span>, alleged by Congressman Henry Waxman to have persuaded George W. Bush to include the fairy story of Iraq purchasing yellow cake uranium from Niger in his 2003 State of the Union address.The allegation is unproven, however, since the documents are still classified.</p>
<p>Bolton is involved with a plethora of less than liberal organizations, including the Project for the New American Century, The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and the currently in the news, The National Rifle Association.</p>
<p>Relating to Syria, it should also be remembered that the country has been under increasingly <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">strangulating sanctions</span></strong> since 2004.</p>
<p>Former Chief Weapons Inspector in Iraq, Scott Ritter has written that: “chemical weapons have a shelf life of five years. Biological weapons have a shelf life of three.” They also give off an “ether”, say experts, which can be picked up by satellite surveillance, which Syria, as Iraq before it is certain to be comprehensively subject of.</p>
<p>Heaven forbid Washington, Whitehall, Tel Aviv and the coalition of the coerced are crying “Wolf!” again. Heaven help <strong>anyone</strong> who believes them.</p>
