I just read the Guardian's profile on Brown Moses. Pretty fascinating how he pieced all that evidence about the war in Syria together from youtube footage, with no background in weapons at all.

Well, between 3 independent intelligence agencies I am starting to be convinced that Assad actually used chemical weapons. I am still on the fence about whether any kind of intervention would be a good thing. I am convinced that external interference there will do more harm than good in the long run, but I do agree that if we, as the international community, just sit on our hands it sends a terrible signal to other autocratic leaders.

Especially now as the report directly implicating Saudi intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan supplying sarin to rebel factions in Syria to carry out the deadly attack gathers more attention, the US needs to be more forthcoming in its sharing of its intelligence that points toward the Assad regime as carrying out the attack. And so far, Russia is not pleased with US behavior on that front:


“What we were shown before and recently by our American partners, as well as by the British and French, does not convince us at all,” Mr. Lavrov said on Monday. “There are no facts, there is simply talk about ‘what we definitely know.’ But when you ask for more detailed evidence, they say that it is all classified, therefore it cannot be shown to us. This means there are not such facts to encourage international cooperation.”

Mr. Lavrov also took a direct jab at Mr. Kerry. “It is very strange to hear, when we recently discussed the issue, my good colleague, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, say that the American side had produced irrefutable evidence for Russia of the Assad regime using chemical weapons, and then claiming that Russians deliberately refused to recognize the fact.”

Lavrov has a dire prediction for the consequences of a US attack carried out without the consent of the UN Security Council:


“If someone tries to make gross violations of international law a norm, then we will create chaos,” Mr. Lavrov warned. “We will create a situation where the U.N. Charter and the principles under which all the nations of the world have signed up, including the principle of unanimous agreement of the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, the so-called right of veto, which the United States insisted on — then all of these principles will simply collapse.”

parties oppose each other it's a smokescreen to hide the fact that they're all working for the illuminati

parties work together and it's proof that they're all working for the illuminati

sometimes people of different and even opposing political beliefs agree actually it's quite common

firing some missiles into some assad compounds seems like a mild response to what happened there.
