Syria: Truth v Lies on Chemical Weapons Use
By Stephen Lendman
Churchill was right saying "(a) lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
Today it circulates instantly. It does so virtually everywhere.
Nazi Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels said:
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
(T)ruth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Media scoundrels understand. So do duplicitous leaders. Fingers point the wrong way. They do so with disturbing regularity.
In July, Washington accused Syria of chemical weapons use. No evidence whatever suggested it. Big Lies repeat.
New allegations surfaced. Ghouta was attacked. The incident was strategically timed. It came with UN investigators present in Syria. Doing so raises obvious red flags. Don't expect media scoundrels to explain.
An unnamed senior US official said:
"There are strong indications there was a chemical weapons attack - clearly by the government."
"But we do need to do our due diligence and get all the facts and determine what steps need to be taken."
A duplicitous
White House statement headlined:
"Statement by Principal Deputy Press Secretary Josh Earnest on Allegations of Chemical Weapons Use in Syria," saying:
"The United States is deeply concerned by reports that hundreds of Syrian civilians have been killed in an attack by Syrian government forces, including by the use of chemical weapons, near Damascus earlier today. We are working urgently to gather additional information."
"The United States strongly condemns any and all use of chemical weapons. Those responsible for the use of chemical weapons must be held accountable. Today, we are formally requesting that the United Nations urgently investigate this new allegation."
"The UN investigative team, which is currently in Syria, is prepared to do so, and that is consistent with its purpose and mandate."
For the UN's efforts to be credible, they must have immediate access to witnesses and affected individuals, and have the ability to examine and collect physical evidence without any interference or manipulation from the Syrian government."
"If the Syrian government has nothing to hide and is truly committed to an impartial and credible investigation of chemical weapons use in Syria, it will facilitate the UN team's immediate and unfettered access to this site."
"We have also called for urgent consultations in the UN Security Council to discuss these allegations and to call for the Syrian government to provide immediate access to the UN investigative team."
"The United States urges all Syrian parties including the government and opposition, to provide immediate access to any and all sites of importance to the investigation and to ensure security for the UN investigative team."
Fact check
US history includes generations of crimes of war, against humanity and genocide. Use of banned weapons and toxic substances reflect standard practice.
It happens at home and abroad. Examples are too numerous to mention. For decades, CIA operatives experimented illegally with toxic substances. Human subjects were used.
US agencies conducted numerous human radiation experiments. VA hospital patients and others were unwitting guinea pigs.
Chemical and biological agents were secretly released in US cities.
Military personnel are given experimental vaccines and toxic drugs. They're administered without their knowledge.
Numerous experiments subject human subjects to toxic gases, ionizing radiation, psychochemicals, hallucinogens, and other dangerous substances.
Radiation's injected into newborns. Children are infected with hepatitis. Prisoners get horrific treatment.
Inmates are subjected to torture, illegal medical experiments, and other forms of abuse.
Agent Orange's deadly legacy remains. It's one of the most toxic known substances. It's a potent carcinogenic human immune system suppressant. Minute amounts cause serious health problems and death.
It kills. It accumulates in adipose tissue and the liver. It alters living cell genetic structures. Exposure results in congenital disorders and birth defects. It causes cancer, type two diabetes, and numerous other diseases.
It remains toxic for decades. It affected millions of Southeast Asians. Many others were disabled and/or suffer from chronic illnesses. Future generations are affected like earlier ones.
Around three million US servicemen and women were harmed. So were many American civilians. Many died. Living victims suffer from diseases, birth defects, and other ill effects.
Truman bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki gratuitously. Japan sent peace feelers months earlier. General Douglas MacArthur sent Roosevelt a 40-page summary of terms.
Japan agreed to unconditional surrender with one exception. It asked only to retain its Emperor. Roosevelt categorically refused.
So did Truman. They wanted Soviet Russia sent a message. It already knew. It was well on its way to its own bomb.
US generals wanted to experiment with their new toy. They wanted to do so in real time.
Hundreds of thousands died needlessly. Lower numbers did initially. They rose in succeeding months and years.
Radiation poisoning kills. It causes grievous illnesses, disfiguration, and birth defects.
Decades later, they're still felt. Bombing Japan twice was gratuitous slaughter. A prostrate nation was trying to surrender.
Failure to accept it honorably was one of history's great crimes. Numerous others followed. They're worse than ever today.
America's waging war on humanity. Legal and illegal weapons are used. Superpowers don't apologize. They look for new targets to attack.
America prioritizes permanent war. One country after another is ravaged. Millions die. Millions more suffer horrifically. It doesn't matter. It's a small price to pay for global dominance.
US concerns about others ring hollow. Human and civil liberties don't matter. Nor do rule of law principles.
Washington rules alone count. Do what we say, not what we do, is policy.
On August 21,
Itar Tass headlined "Syria's military command denies chemical weapons use," saying:
"Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said such claims on the part of the opposition were illogical and had been fabricated."
Another Syian official said "Reports about the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian capital's suburb have nothing in common with the truth."
On August 22, the
Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) headlined "Foreign Minister: Allegations of armed forces using toxic gas in Damascus countryside untrue."
Foreign Walidi al-Moallem categorically denied Syria used chemical weapons. Chemical or other weapons of mass destruction will never be used against Syria, he added.
He explained that Syria is cooperating fully with UN investigators. He called lies about Syria are well-known. They're part of a campaign against its sovereignty. They perpetuate conflict. They prevent peace.
Israel's dirty hands are all over events in Syria. Al-Moallem called Israel a "player in the war against Syria."
"Israel is satisfied over the escalation of terrorism in the region, destruction of infrastructure, exhausting the economies, Arab armies, particularly in Syria, Iraq and Egypt," he said.
"It is happy over the destruction in the region."
"Any political analysis to the ongoing events in Syria should start from observing the Israeli stance which intervened, as a main player, in the field when it raided and attacked three Syrian sites and received wounded terrorist in its hospitals."
Israel's very much involved in destabilizing Syria. It supports regime change. It's partnered in Washington's war. It doesn't surprise.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon turned truth on its head. He lied saying Syria used chemical weapons multiple times. Israel uses banned weapons in all its wars. Don't expect Ya'alon to explain.
Mossad-connected
DEBKAfile lied saying "Assad has more than once declared that if the Syrian capital Damascus came under threat, he would resort to chemical warfare and the entire Middle East including Israel would go up in flames."
Chemical weapons experts examined video footage on what happened. Doubts were raised about a chemical weapons attack.
Dan Kaszeta's a former US army chemical corps officer. He now a leading consultant. He's skeptical about what's being reported, saying:
"None of the people treating the casualties or photographing them are wearing any sort of chemical-warfare protective gear, and despite that, none of them seem to be harmed."
He believes this rules out most military-grade toxic chemicals. He includes the vast majority of nerve gases.
They don't evaporate quickly. They contaminate bodies, clothing, soil and water. They harm anyone in contact with them unprotected hours after an attack.
"There are none of the other signs you would expect to see in the aftermath of a chemical attack," he added.
