OPCW valt door de mand, klokkenluider: Douma gifgasaanval werd niet uitgevoerd door Syrische leger

Afgelopen maandag bracht Caitlin Johnstone een artikel waarin een klokkenluider uiteenzet dat de gifgasaanval in Douma niet heeft plaatsgevonden, de hoeveelheid gifgas waar de slachtoffers werden gevonden, verschilden niet van metingen elders, ofwel er heeft geen luchtaanval met chlorine plaatsgevonden..... Een expert, een eerdere klokkenluider, die de plek des onheils bezocht, stelde dan ook dat de vaten met chlorine (gas) niet uit vliegtuigen zijn afgeworpen, daar de schade dan veel groter zou zijn geweest, nee, de vaten met chlorine moeten van meet af aan op de grond hebben gestaan.......

De eerste klokkenluider komt van de OPCW en hij is uit de school geklapt tegen journalist Jonathan Steele. Deze klokkenluider heeft e.e.a. aangegeven bij de top van deze organisatie, die hier echter niet op heeft gereageerd, het is dan ook duidelijk (en dat was het wat mij betreft al lang) dat de OPCW willens en wetens het Syrische bewind wilde schaden met haar doelbewust misleidende rapport...... Ofwel de OPCW zit in de zak van de VS en de rest van de NAVO.....

Volgens Steele heeft de OPCW i.z. Douma propaganda gemaakt voor de zogenaamde rebellengroepen (lees terreurgroepen) om aanvallen tegen Syrië uit te lokken en die opzet lukte, zo bombardeerden de VS, Groot-Brittannië en Frankrijk doelen in de Syrische hoofdstad Damascus....... Een dergelijke manier van doen noemt men een 'false flag operatie'* en het is meer dan schandalig dat zogenaamde beschaafde landen zich zo gedragen, immers de VS en de andere NAVO lidstaten moeten weten dat de zogenaamde gifgasaanvallen werden uitgevoerd door 'rebellen groepen' (lees nogmaals: terreurgroepen)...... Sterker nog de VS en andere NAVO-lidstaten** wisten en weten dat een aantal van die terreurgroepen de beschikking hadden en hebben over chlorine en Sarin (gifgas), echter deze landen hebben nooit geëist dat deze terreurgroepen hun voorraden gifgas vernietigden, zoals de voorraden van Syrië wel werden vernietigd en dat onder VN en westers toezicht.....

OPCW Losing Credibility As Even More Revelations Surface On Douma

by Caitlin Johnstone

During a recent BBC radio interview, award-winning journalist Jonathan Steele said that he attended a briefing by a new whistleblower from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) investigation into an alleged 2018 chemical attack in Douma, Syria, who claimed that the OPCW suppressed his findings which contradicted the organization's official conclusion that a chlorine gas attack had taken place. This according to Steele is a second whistleblower coming forward on the OPCW's Douma investigation, the first being the leaker of an Engineering Assessment document which surfaced this past May contradicting the OPCW's official ballistics report which the organization hid from the public.

I have archived an audio recording of Steele's statement here for posterity, since the BBC removes its content after a month. I have also compiled a timeline of relevant events here so that people can properly appreciate the significance of these new revelations.

Here's British journalist Jonathan Steele on the BBC saying he was in attendance at the OPCW/Douma panel and witnessed a new OPCW whistleblower say his findings were suppressed on the absence of evidence for chlorine gas use on the scene in Syria. pic.twitter.com/JRdGAEnlVf

Steele made these comments unbidden by the show's host Paul Henley. They read as follows (thanks to Tim Hayward of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media for the transcript):

Jonathan Steele: “I was in Brussels last week … I attended a briefing by a whistleblower from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. He was one of the inspectors who was sent out to Douma in Syria in April last year to check into the allegations by the rebels that Syrian aeroplanes had dropped two canisters of chlorine gas, killing up to 43 people. He claims he was in charge of picking up the samples in the affected areas, and in neutral areas, to check whether there were chlorine derivatives there …

Paul Henley: And?

JS: … and he found that there was no difference. So it rather suggested there was no chemical gas attack, because in the buildings where the people allegedly died there was no extra chlorinated organic chemicals than in the normal streets elsewhere. And I put this to the OPCW for comment, and they haven’t yet replied. But it rather suggests that a lot of this was propaganda…

PH: Propaganda led by?

JS: … led by the rebel side to try and bring in American planes, which in fact did happen. American, British and French planes bombed Damascus a few days after these reports.

And actually this is the second whistle blower to come forward. A few months ago there was a leaked report by the person who looked into the ballistics, as to whether these cylinders had been dropped by planes, looking at the damage of the building and the damage on the side of the cylinders. And he decided, concluded, that the higher probability was that these cylinders were placed on the ground, rather than from planes.

PH: This would be a major revelation…

JS: … it would be a major revelation …

PH: … given the number of people rubbishing the idea that these could have been fake videos at the time.

JS: Well, these two scientists, I think they’re non-political – they wouldn’t have been sent to Douma, if they’d had strong political views, by the OPCW. They want to speak to the Conference of the Member States in November, next month, and give their views, and be allowed to come forward publicly with their concerns. Because they’ve tried to raise them internally and been – they say they’ve been – suppressed, their views have been suppressed.

Huge news: a *2nd* OPCW whistleblower has emerged over Douma attack in April 2018. 1st WB leaked an engineering assessment that challenged OPCW conclusion of Assad gov't responsibility. This new WB was *on the ground in Douma.* Both WBs want to speak out. https://t.co/tHkYdEwk4O pic.twitter.com/2tQHvpIpws

Steele appears to be referring to a Courage Foundation panel meeting which convened in Brussels on October 15th, the findings of which were published the other day by the Courage Foundation and WikiLeaks, though it's possible the briefing he refers to was a separate Brussels event around the same time. I've been unable to reach Steele for comment but will update with clarification if I can contact him.

They are lying to us about what's happening Syria. Shortly after the political/media class began blaring that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad had killed dozens of civilians with chemical weapons in April of last year, Grayzone's Max Blumenthal wrote the following in an article for TruthDig:

"In 2007, journalist James Bamford recalled how Americans had been subjected to 'a long line of hyped and fraudulent stories that would eventually propel the U.S. into a war with Iraq—the first war based almost entirely on a covert propaganda campaign targeting the media.' The dirty war on Syria represents an extension of that strategy, with the mainstream media operating hand in glove with insurgent-allied influence operations like the White Helmets to cultivate public support for another war of regime change."

Indeed, the narrative manipulation campaign against the Syrian government is historically unprecedented in its depth and scale. From bizarre narrative management operations posing as rescue services, to CNN staging a fake, scripted interview featuring a seven year-old Syrian girl blaming Assad for a chemical weapons attack, to the BBC's manipulative and transparently bogus Saving Syria's Children documentary, to the US-centralized empire's increasingly evident influence over the OPCW, we're seeing evidence of a campaign to distort the public understanding of what's going on in a foreign nation the likes of which we've never before seen.

Stay skeptical and remember Iraq. These new reports which keep surfacing on unacceptable practices by the OPCW are just one more piece on a mountain of evidence that whenever the political/media class and their hypnotized victims try to bully us into accepting the official narrative about a longtime target for regime change, we should stand firm and insist on an amount of proof which rises to the level required in a post-Iraq invasion world.

The OPCW has a lot of questions to answer, especially since its findings have been cited as authoritative and conclusive in other high-profile events like the UK Skripal poisoning, as well as other incidents in Syria. Both Steele and La Repubblica's Stefania Maurizi have reported that the organization has been snubbing their requests for comment. Let's hope the OPCW stops dodging journalists and moving toward bringing transparency and accountability to its processes.

Voorts treft de VS illegaal sancties tegen landen die de VS niet welgevallig zijn, dat heeft eind 90er jaren in Irak aan 500.000 kinderen het leven gekost en de illegale sancties (een vorm van grootschalige terreur) tegen Venezuela hebben al aan meer dan 40.000 mensen het leven gekost......

Deep State stuurt VS presidenten bij >> uitleg van Edward Snowden

In het volgende artikel uitleg van Edward Snowden over hoe de deep state werkt (in de VS). Zoals je wellicht al bekend was, het gaat bepaald niet alleen om de geheime diensten, maar bijvoorbeeld ook om de ambtenaren op sleutelposities, die na een wisseling van presidenten niet hoeven te vertrekken. Jammer dat Snowden niet de grote bedrijven en banken noemt, daar deze wel degelijk deel uitmaken van deep state......

Gezien dat laatste, hebben ook de miljardairs veel invloed, immers zij bezitten bedrijven of hebben de meerderheid van aandelen van bedrijven in handen, zoals die van de grote dagbladen >> niet voor niets dat de 'journalistiek' in die bladen allesbehalve onafhankelijk is....

Snowden legt uit hoe presidenten worden ingepakt door deep state, alle hervormingen die zij willen doorvoeren, zoals hervorming, dan wel opheffen van geheime diensten, stranden en zullen blijven stranden...... (althans zoals het er nu uitziet en er moet wel een enorme catastrofe passeren wil daar verandering in komen......)

Snowden Explains How the Deep State Influences Presidents

March 24, 2018 at 11:36 am

Written by Truth In Media

(TIM) — Famed whistleblower Edward Snowden was recently interviewed by Italian publication La Repubblic. The publication noted the 5-year mark of Snowden’s historic act of blowing the whistle on the NSA’s expansive surveillance programs and that “many thought he would end up very badly, but when he connects via videolink for this interview with la Repubblica, he seems to be doing very well: the frank smile and peaceful face of someone who is easy in his mind.”

In an excerpt from the exclusive interview, Snowden explained how the presidencies of both Obama and Trump are shaped by the Deep State following an illuminating question by journalist Stefania Maurizi.

Stefania Maurizi: We saw that President Obama, who was an outsider to the US military-intelligence complex, initially wanted to reign in the abuses of agencies like the CIA and the NSA, but in the end he did very little. Now we see a confrontation between president Trump and so-called Deep State, which includes the CIA and the NSA. Can a US president govern in opposition to such powerful entities?

Edward Snowden: Obama is certainly an instructive case. This is a president who campaigned on a platform of ending warrantless wiretapping in the United States, he said “that’s not who we are, that’s not what we do,” and once he became the president, he expanded the program.  He said he was going to close Guantanamo but he kept it open, he said he was going to limit extrajudicial killings and drone strikes that has been so routine in the Bush years. But Obama went on to authorize vastly more drone strikes than Bush. It became an industry.

As for this idea that there is a Deep State, now the Deep State is not just the intelligence agencies, it is really a way of referring to the career bureaucracy of government. These are officials who sit in powerful positions, who don’t leave when presidents do, who watch presidents come and go, they influence policy, they influence presidents and say: this is what we have always done, this is what we must do, and if you don’t do this, people will die.

It is very easy to persuade a new president who comes in, who has never had these powers, but has always wanted this job and wants very, very badly to do that job well. A bureaucrat sitting there for the last twenty years says: I understand what you said, I respect your principles, but if you do what you promised, people will die. It is very easy for a president to go: well, for now, I am going to set this controversy to the side, I’m going to take your advice, let you guys decide how these things should be done, and then I will revisit it, when I have a little more experience, maybe in a few months, maybe in a few years, but then they never do.

This is what we saw quite clearly happen in the case of Barack Obama: when this story [of Snowden exposing the NSA’s mass surveillance] came forward in 2013, when Obama had been president for five years, one of the defences for this from his aides and political allies was: oh, Obama was just about to fix this problem!  And sure enough, he eventually was forced from the wave of criticism to make some limited reforms, but he did not go far enough to end all of the programs that were in violation of the law or the constitution of the United States. That too was an intentional choice: he could have certainly used the scandal to advocate for all of the changes that he had campaigned on, to deliver on all of his promises, but in those five years he had become president, he discovered something else, which is that there are benefits from having very powerful intelligence agencies, there are benefits from having these career bureaucrats on your side, using their spider web over government for your benefit.

Imagine you are Barack Obama, and you realise – yes, when you were campaigning you were saying: spying on people without a warrant is a problem, but then you realise: you can read Angela Merkel’s text messages. Why bother calling her and asking her opinion, when you can just read her mind by breaking the law? It sounds like a joke, but it is a very seductive thing. Secrecy is perhaps the most corrupting of all government powers, because it takes public officials and divorces them from accountability to the public.

When we look at the case of Trump, who is perhaps the worst of politicians, we see the same dynamic occurring. This is a president who said the CIA is the enemy, it’s like Nazi Germany, they’re listening to his phone calls, and all of these other things, some claims which are true, some claims which are absolutely not.  A few months later, he is authorizing major powers for these same agencies that he has called his enemies.

And this gets to the central crux of your question, which is: can any president oppose this? The answer is certainly. The president has to have some familiarity going in with the fact that this pitch is going to be made, that they are going to try to scare him or her into compliance. The president has to be willing to stand strongly on line and say: ‘I was elected to represent the interests of the American people, and if you’re not willing to respect the constitution and our rights, I will disband your agency, and create a new one’. I think they can definitely be forced into compliance, because these officials fear prison, just like every one of us.
