Mainstream media ignore evidence of US-backed "war excuse" plan to gas Syrians

Israeli state terrorism and US state terrorism are poised to destroy another largely Muslim country, Syria. The serial war-maker, war criminal and pro-Zionist Obama Administration asserts that the Syrian Government has used chemical agents against civilians and is positioning American forces to bomb and devastate Syria. However there is no conclusive evidence for the Obama Administration conclusion as set out in great detail by Stephen Gowans in an article entitled “Accusations continue, but still no evidence of a Syrian military gas attack” in Global Research, 24 August 2013: http://www.globalresearch.ca/accusations-continue-but-still-no-evidence-of-a-syrian-military-gas-attack/5346851 . Indeed the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal concede the absence of conclusive evidence for the Obama Administration claim.

Cognizant of the legal reality that for America to attack Syria without UN sanction would be a war crime, the absence of conclusive evidence from the UN inspectors, and the horrendous carnage in Iraq after the US Alliance went to war “on a lie”, the British House of Commons rejected the call for war, albeit by a narrow margin. According to the BBC: “British MPs have rejected possible UK military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government to deter the use of chemical weapons. A government motion was defeated by 285 to 272, a majority of 13 votes. PM David Cameron said "the government will act accordingly", effectively ruling out London’s involvement in any US-led strikes against Damascus. The US said it would "continue to consult" with London, "one of our closest allies and friends".” (BBC, “David Cameron loses Commons vote on Syria action”, 30 August 2013: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23892783 ).

The lying, warmongering Obama Administration is doing its own version of what the lying, warmongering Bush Administration did in the run-up to the illegal invasion of Iraq – it is planning to go to war on a lie, relying on the usual Mainstream media presstitutes to beat the drums of war and censor contrary evidence and views.

Thus Mainstream media have comprehensively censored out an extremely important report by prominent UK journalist Louise Boyle entitled “U.S. “backed plan to launch chemical attack on Syria and blame it on Assad’s regime”” in the UK Daily Mail’s Mail On-line on 29 January 2013. The report was “pulled” by the Mail but survives in archived form (see: Louise Boyle, “U.S. :backed plan to launch chemical attack on Syria and blame it on Assad’s regime””, Mail On-line, 29 January 2013: http://web.archive.org/web/20130129213824/http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2270219/U-S-planned-launch-chemical-weapon-attack-Syria-blame-Assad.html ).

This is in part what Louise Boyle reported, QUOTE: “Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could be blamed on Assad’s regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country. A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence where a scheme ’approved by Washington’ is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons. Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria using chemical weapons against its own people. [Picture] War games: An explosion in the Syrian city of Homs last month. It has been now been suggested that the U.S. backed the use of chemical weapons to spur international military intervention

According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam’s Business Development Director David Goulding to company founder Philip Doughty. It reads: ’Phil... We’ve got a new offer. It’s about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington.’We’ll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have.’They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.’Frankly, I don’t think it’s a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?’Kind regards, David.’Britam Defence had not yet returned a request for comment to MailOnline. [Picture] Leaked: The email was allegedly sent from a top official at a British defense contractor regarding a ’Washington approved’ chemical attack in Syria which could be blamed on Assad’s regime.

The emails were released by a Malaysian hacker who also obtained senior executives resumés and copies of passports via an unprotected company server, according to Cyber War News.Dave Goulding’s Linkedin profile lists him as Business Development Director at Britam Defence Ltd in Security and Investigations. A business networking profile for Phil Doughty lists him as Chief Operationg Officer for Britam, United Arab Emirates, Security and Investigations. The U.S. State Department had not returned a request for comment on the alleged emails to MailOnline today at time of publication. However the use of chemical warfare was raised at a press briefing in D.C. on January 28. A spokesman said that the U.S. joined the international community in ’setting common redlines about the consequences of using chemical weapons’.” END QUOTE.

Just like the "Gulf of Tonkin incident", the "Iraqi WMD" and the "9-11" lies (see “Experts: US did 9-11”: https://sites.google.com/site/expertsusdid911/ ), the serial war criminal US Government is still lying and doing "false flag operations" for war. Thus the US Center for Public Integrity and its affiliated group, the Fund for Independence in Journalism revealed that the Bush Administration told 935 lies about Iraq between 9-11 and the illegal and war criminal invasion of Iraq in 2003 (see “Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war”, CNN Politics: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/01/23/bush.iraq/ ).

12 million Muslims have died since 1990 due to violence or war-imposed deprivation in the Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist-promoted War on Muslims (see "Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide": https://sites.google.com/site/muslimholocaustmuslimgenocide/ ). The Zionist-dominated US Government is not just mass murdering Muslims - an estimated 1.3 million Americans die preventably each year linked to the fiscal perversion of committing circa $10 trillion to Apartheid Israel and killing Muslims abroad rather than keeping Americans alive at home (see Gideon Polya, “One million Americans die preventably annually in USA”, Countercurrents, 18 February 2012: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya180212.htm and Gideon Polya, “American Holocaust, millions of untimely American deaths and $40 trillion cost of Israel to Americans”, Countercurrents, 27 August 2013: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya270813.htm ).

A search of the endlessly lying and censoring BBC, its endlessly lying and censoring Australian equivalent the ABC (both “ABC News” and “the entire ABC site”), and the endlessly lying by commission and omission, ABC-spruiked, taxpayer-funded, Australian universities-backed website The Conversation revealed ZERO (0) reportage of this extremely important matter as established by searches of the BBC in the relevant period for the terms “Louise Boyle:”, “Mail On-0line” and “plan to launch chemical”. Similarly, searchers for “Louise Boyle” on American ABC, CBS, CNN and Fox News yield zero (0) results.

This latest example of Mainstream media, BBC, Daily Mail and ABC censorship is being reported widely (see Newsvine: http://gpolya.newsvine.com/_news/2013/08/29/20250282-us-planned-to-launch-chemical-weapon-attack-on-syria-and-blame-it-on-assad , “Boycott Murdoch media”: https://sites.google.com/site/boycottmurdochmedia/ ; “Censorship by the BBC”: https://sites.google.com/site/censorshipbythebbc/ ; “Censorship by The Conversation”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammediacensorship/censorship-by ; “Mainstream media censorship”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammediacensorship/home ; “Mainstream media lying”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammedialying/ ; “Censorship by The Age”: https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammediacensorship/censorship-by-the-age ; “Censorship by ABC Late Night Live”: https://sites.google.com/site/censorshipbyabclatenightlive/ , "Censorship by ABC Saturday Extra": https://sites.google.com/site/censorshipbyabclatenightlive/censorship-by-abc-sat and "ABC Fact-checking unit & incorrect reportage by the ABC (Australia’s BBC)": https://sites.google.com/site/mainstreammediacensorship/abc-fact-checking-unit ).

The bottom line is that those who attack and devastate other countries without the sanction of the United Nations are degenerate war criminals. As with Nazi war criminals, there should be no place for them to hide on Planet Earth. Apartheid Israel has attacked 12 other countries, continually threatens to devastate Iran, and was actively involved in the Indian Genocide in Guatemala and the Tamil Genocide in Sri Lanka. The US has invaded some 70 other countries its bloody post-1776 history (see Gideon Polya, “The US has invaded 70 nations since 1776 – make 4 July Independence From America Day”, Countercurrents, 5 July 3103: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya050713.htm ).

Apartheid Israel has already been active bombing its neighbour Syria. The Zionist-beholden US is about to do the same. All that decent, pro-peace people around the world can do is to (a) tell everyone they can and (b) urge and apply Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against serial war criminal rogue states such as Apartheid Israel and the Neocon American and Zionist Imperialist–run United States and all those complicit in Israeli state terrorism and US state terrorism.
