U.S. INTELLIGENCE SOURCE: SYRIA CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK LAUNCHED FROM SAUDI BASE
Award winning journalist Robert Parry says incident was likely a false flag

Award-winning Iran-Contra
journalist Robert Parry says the chemical weapons attack in Syria was
launched from a joint Saudi-Israeli special operations base in Jordan,
according to his intelligence sources.
U.S.
intelligence analysts determined that a drone was responsible for the
attack and “eventually came to believe that the flight was launched in
Jordan from a Saudi-Israeli special operations base for supporting
Syrian rebels,” according to the source.
“The
suspected reason for the poison gas was to create an incident that
would reverse the Trump administration’s announcement in late March that
it was no longer seeking the removal of President Bashar al-Assad,” writes Parry.
As we highlighted back in 2013
after another chemical weapons attack in Ghouta that was blamed on
Assad, rebels freely admitted to Associated Press correspondent Dale
Gavlak that they had been given the weapons by Saudi Arabia but had
“handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions.”
Parry’s
background lends the information credibility. He covered the
Iran-Contra scandal for the Associated Press and Newsweek and was later
given a George Polk award for his work on intelligence matters.
The contention that the incident was a “false flag” to create a justification for air strikes has also been voiced by former Congressman Ron Paul as well as numerous other prominent voices, including Vladimir Putin himself, who went on to warn that rebels could now stage a similar incident in Damascus to goad the U.S. into toppling Assad.
Whoever
was responsible for the attack does not take away from the horror of
the event and the fact that innocent people and children died.
Parry dismissed the four page report
released by President Trump’s National Security Council that blames the
Syrian government for the chemical attack as being heavy on assertions
but lacking actual evidence.
The
white paper states, “we cannot publicly release all available
intelligence on this attack due to the need to protect sources and
methods,” although as Parry points out, “In similarly tense situations
in the past, U.S. Presidents have released sensitive intelligence to
buttress U.S. government assertions, including John F. Kennedy’s
disclosure of U-2 spy flights in the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis and
Ronald Reagan revealing electronic intercepts after the Soviet
shoot-down of Korean Airlines Flight 007 in 1983.”
Parry
challenged the Trump administration to make its evidence publicly
available, while also questioning why both CIA Director Mike Pompeo and
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats were not show in a photo
released by the White House which shows the President and a dozen of his
senior advisers monitoring the April 6 missile strike from a room at
his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
“Given
President Trump’s spotty record for getting facts straight – he and his
administration should go the extra mile in presenting irrefutable
evidence to support its assessments, not simply insisting that the world
must “trust us,” concludes Parry.

Many of President Donald Trump's staunchest supporters — the very
people who put him in the White House — expressed feelings of anger and
betrayal following the administration's illegal military attack on Syria.
Among the prominent Trump backers who have spoken out so far are
conservative pundit Ann Coulter, one of Trump's earliest and fiercest
supporters, along with radio host Michael Savage, one of America's most
popular talk-show personalities, who is credited by some analysts with
putting Trump in the White House. Also speaking out was former U.K.
Independence Party (UKIP) leader and Brexiteer Nigel Farage, along with
his successor Paul Nuttall. In France, National Front Leader Marine Le
Pen also condemned the attack. And in Congress, true constitutionalists
such as Senator Rand Paul pointed out that Trump's attacks were unconstitutional.
Among those who seemed most hurt by what they viewed as Trump's
betrayal was conservative commentator Coulter, who was campaigning for
Trump back when virtually everyone was ridiculing him as a joke. In
fact, she was so pro-Trump, she wrote a book entitled In Trump We Trust.
At this point, though, she said it may have to be changed to "In
Trumpism We Trust" instead. On social media, Coulter expressed
frustration immediately. “Those who wanted us meddling in the Middle
East voted for other candidates,” she said on in a post shortly after
the attack began. “Trump campaigned on not getting involved in Mideast.
Said it always helps our enemies & creates more refugees. Then he
saw a picture on TV.”
Speaking of Trump's attack on Syria in an interview with New York City radio personality Mark Simone,
Coulter sounded close to tears. “The magnitude of this catastrophe
cannot be underestimated,” she said. “I've had a knot in my stomach
since he's been filling up his administration with these warmongers and
Wall Street types. If we wanted meddling in the Middle East, there were
other candidates to vote for. Trump was very clear and he was very
right, and that's why Trumpism will live on whether he believes in it
anymore, but Trump was right.”
In the war, she continued, there are no “good guys,” and so Trump is
making a mistake by choosing sides. “This [Syria] is a tribal society,
there are savages on both sides, we're not exactly on the side of the
angels here — we're helping ISIS and al-Qaeda in Syria,” she explained,
highlighting a point that Trump trumpeted repeatedly as he accused Obama
and Hillary of helping to create ISIS. “Nobody is good over there, but
at least Assad is secular and he protects the Christians — nobody's
checked with the Christians on the ground in Syria, they're terrified
that they're just going to be wiped out if Assad is gone.” Indeed, if
Assad falls, it is very likely that what remains of Syria's ancient
Christian community would be exterminated, as occurred in Iraq after the
U.S. invasion toppled Saddam Hussein.
Meddling in Syria is also not what Trump campaigned on. “The main
point is, as he said over and over again including in that beautiful
State of the Union address, he is running to be president of America,
not to be president of the world,” Coulter continued. “And when you see
how thrilled the media are at Trump destroying his presidency over this,
it just makes you sick — it's everything his opponents warned us about:
He's impulsive, he'll get us in a war, he's led by his advisors. Wow,
this is not what people voted for.”
When the radio host brought up the chemical weapons attack allegedly
perpetrated by Assad, Coulter shot back: “The rest of the world is not
our problem,” she said, adding that she had been reading the British
press that was highly skeptical of the claim that Assad had used the
chemical weapons. “It doesn't make any sense, it's like the Trump
conspiracy theory, why would Assad do this to kill 75 people? He's
winning against al-Qaeda insurgents, whom we are now performing the Air
Force service for. He's winning against them, and he's going to use
chemical weapons to bring international condemnation on himself, and
kill 75 people? And moreover and separately, I've never understood, what
is the difference if they're killed with chemical weapons or standard
military armaments? You're dead just the same.”
Coulter also suggested that now that Trump was distracted with a war
in Syria, the wall on the Southern border Trump promised throughout his
campaign may not come about. “Can we use all the money we spent on those
Tomahawks for the wall? We don't have money for the wall but we sure
have money to meddle in the Middle East,” she said. “No president's
meddling in the Middle East has ever turned out well. Have we learned
nothing from Iraq?” She could also have pointed to Libya, which Obama
bombed without congressional approval, based on lies, citing a United
Nations resolution instead of the Constitution. Today, Libya is in
ruins, ISIS is running wild, and slaves are being openly traded once
again.
“We may have just as well had Jeb,” Coulter added, referring to failed GOP contender and known establishment globalist Jeb Bush.
Aside from Coulter, radio powerhouse Savage was another key Trump
supporter. But after the attacks began, Savage made his displeasure very
clear in a monologue on his show and later posted online and linked by the influential Drudge Report.
“Who got to you, Mr. President? Who is whispering in your ear and could
have made you make this dramatic of a change towards Russia in just
three days?” Savage asked Trump, who regularly appeared on Savage's show
throughout his campaign. The radio host also noted that by attacking
Syria, “we just helped ISIS.”
Like many other analysts, Savage warned that the conflagration in
Syria could lead to an even broader war if the U.S. government
intervenes. “Do you want war with Russia, all of you idiots, all of you
fools who are pounding the war drums?” he asked. The host, one of
America's most popular radio personalities with many millions of daily
listeners, also compared Trump to Woodrow Wilson. “Like Trump, Woodrow
Wilson ran on an America First platform. He was elected largely because
he kept us out of the war in Europe. But someone got to him, too.”
Referring to himself as a “conservative peacenick,” Savage suggested it
was “the generals” who got to Trump.
The day after the attack, Savage blasted what he called “a
limp-wristed attack in order to gain the attention of the fools in the
media and the fools amongst the so-called republican voters who think
this was a real great military action.” The fact that the establishment
media, the Democrats, and establishment Republicans supported the
illegal strike was further proof that Trump was in the wrong. “You know
you’re on the wrong side if that cesspool of filth supports your
actions,” he said.
Echoing Coulter and many other prominent pro-Trump voices, Savage
also said the attack on Syria in response to the chemical attack was
based on a “false flag” operation. “This was a complete false flag
event,” he said. “Assad had nothing to gain by gassing his own people.”
But with the “establishment GOP” having “handcuffed” loyal Trump
advisors such as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, White House strategist
Steve Bannon, and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes,
Savage said Trump was getting bad advice and information.
Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan was similarly harsh in his assessment.
“Trump’s missile attack was unconstitutional,” Buchanan observed.
“Assad had not attacked or threatened us, and Congress, which alone has
the power to authorize war on Syria, has never done so. Indeed, Congress
denied President Obama that specific authority in 2013.”
Buchanan also suggested a false-flag may have been at work. “Are we
certain Assad personally ordered a gas attack on civilians?” he asked.
“For it makes no sense. Why would Assad, who is winning the war and had
been told America was no longer demanding his removal, order a nerve gas
attack on children, certain to ignite America’s rage, for no military
gain? Like the gas attack in 2013, this has the marks of a false flag
operation to stampede America into Syria’s civil war.”
However, it is not too late to stop a broader war, Buchanan said. “If
the president has thrown in with the neocons and War Party, and we are
plunging back into the Mideast maelstrom, Trump should know that many of
those who helped to nominate and elect him — to keep us out of
unnecessary wars — may not be standing by him,” he said. “If, after
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Yemen, we do not want America in yet
another Mideast war, the time to stop it is before the War Party has us
already in it. That time is now.”
On the other side of the Atlantic, Trump's strongest allies also
recoiled in horror. Former UKIP boss Farage, who led the Trump-backed
Brexit from the European Union, said he was “very surprised” by Trump's
attack on Syria. “Think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this
morning and scratching their heads and saying 'where will it all end?'"
"As a firm Trump supporter, I say, yes, the pictures were horrible, but
I’m surprised,” Farage added. “Whatever Assad’s sins, he is secular.”
The loyal Trump ally also urged against U.K. involvement in Syria.
“Previous interventions in the Middle East have made things worse rather
than better,” he said. Current UKIP leader Paul Nuttall was much firmer
in condeming Trump. “The U.S. bombing of Syria last night was rash,
trigger happy, nonsensical and will achieve nothing,” he said. “I hoped
for better.”
On the other hand, the unconstitutional attack on Syria earned Trump
widespread praise among the neoconservative globalists, warmongers, and
establishment hacks who fought him every step of the way during his
election campaign. Writing in the neocon Weekly Standard, globalist Elliot Abrams, a leading member of the subversive Council on Foreign Relations,
praised Trump's illegal attack as the true start of the administration.
“The president has been chief executive since January 20, but this week
he acted also as Commander in Chief,” wrote Abrams, widely ridiculed as
a neocon “chicken hawk” by conservative critics. “And more: He finally
accepted the role of Leader of the Free World.” Another neocon "chicken
hawk," Bill Kristol, who spewed vitriol against Trump during the
campaign, wrote: “Punishing Assad for use of chemical weapons is good.
Regime change in Iran is the prize.” To neocon globalists, launching
illegal wars in violation of the Constitution is a sign of good
leadership.
A different approach to Trump's illegal bombings was taken by some of
his other supporters, such as radio powerhouse Alex Jones and his
Infowars media empire, which supported Trump and has been lavishly
praised by the president. Infowars reporter Kit Daniels, for example,
while noting the attack was illegal, suggested it may be another example
of Trump's cunning. “Trump responded to a False Flag with a False
Retaliation,” he said. However, Infowars editor Paul Joseph Watson was
less kind on social media. “I guess Trump wasn't Putin's puppet after
all, he was just another deep state/Neo-Con puppet,” he said. “I'm
officially OFF the Trump train.”
As The New American reported the day after Trump's attack on
Syria, there are good reasons to suspect the chemical strike that
allegedly justified it was a false-flag operation. It is also a fact
that the Trump attack was a violation of the U.S. Constitution and the
president's own statements and pledges over a period of years. However,
with many of his staunchest allies speaking out, and his most vicious
enemies cheering him on, Trump may yet decide to do the right thing
going forward — especially if the American people speak out in massive
numbers.

Munoz, the CEO of Untied Airlines, today said he felt "shame" when he
saw the viral video of a bloodied passenger dragged from one of his
airline's flights Sunday night.
"This will never happen again," Munoz told ABC News' "Good Morning America" in an exclusive interview.
The
passenger, David Dao of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, a 69-year-old
physician specializing in pulmonary disease, is at a Chicago hospital
undergoing treatment for his injuries, according to lawyers for his
family.
United Flight 3411, operated by Republic Airways, was set
to depart Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 5:40 p.m. local
time Sunday, bound for Louisville International Airport, when the
incident occurred.
United told ABC News that passengers were offered up to $800 to give up their seats for four crew members who needed to board.
When
no one volunteered, the airline generated a list of four names to be
removed from the flight and be re-accommodated, according to the
airline's contract of carriage.
Of the four people, Dao was the only one who refused to comply, which triggered a call to airport police.
