WAR ALERT: Russia Sends Warships Carrying Tanks To Syria And Threatens ‘Chaos’


Russia sent two warships carrying tanks and other military supplies to Syria in the wake of the United States-led attack on Damascus for an alleged chemical attack. It looks like the West’s attack accomplished one thing: a stronger Syria/Russia alliance.


The boats were spotted on The Bosphorus (the straight of Istanbul) on Sunday. This delivery of military supplies from Russia comes on the heels of an attack on Syria led by US president Donald Trump, the United Kingdom, and France.  Russian president Vladimir Putin has also since warned that the world would experience “chaos” if Syria was attacked again.


The West is alleging Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s leader used chemical weapons on civilians to justify military attacks on Damascus and Homs.  But interestingly enough, those strikes occurred the day before international investigators were scheduled to arrive to conduct a thorough inspection of the site.  –SHTFPlan


Russia continues to allege the chemical attack used as reasoning by the West to bomb Syria was fabricated.  Based on all the evidence currently gathered, it appears to be a false flag, making Russia correct, and the US guilty of producing massive amounts of pro-war propaganda. 


The news is rife with the Syrian airstrikes and the theatrical narrative: the united coalition of brave allies against the despotic Assad to secure the blessings of liberty, etc., etc. The reality: The U.S. threw more than 100 missiles against soft Syrian targets with Britain firing rockets from four aircraft as France flew planes around and cruised the waters with a few ships. The target (a suspected but not verified chemical weapons facility) was destroyed…before chemical weapons use, or manufacture could be verified. Once again, the Western Hegemony “showed” that bad ‘ol puddy-tat, that anti-Saudi Arabian, anti-Petrodollar Assad…showed him that his “Clorox Bleach” assault on mannequins as verified by white hat “Light-Brite” technicians would not be tolerated! “Mission accomplished!” in the words of US President Donald Trump. –SHTFPlan


 




Russia’s supplies are making their way to Syria while the US expects us to believe they bomb people out of the goodness of their hearts.


The Russian President has responded furiously to the strikes in Syria, which followed the deadly chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma that left dozens dead. According to a statement released by the Kremlin, Putin told his Iranian counterpart that the strikes had undermined chances of a political resolution to the conflict. “Vladimir Putin, in particular, stressed that if such actions committed in violation of the U.N. Charter continue, then it will inevitably lead to chaos in international relations,” the statement read.


So, as you may deduce, there is plenty to be seen behind the scenes while “Operation Clorox” was conducted in Syria. Examine the information before you take a drink of that Grape Kool-Aid and blindly fall for the rhetoric. The Deep State is fully in control and moving ahead with their own agenda. They just “wagged the dog” this past weekend, and not only did most Americans fall for it…all Americans paid for it as well. Eventually when the Globalists’ plans escalate further into war, payment will be rendered in lives.-SHTFPlan


As the US hints that there won’t be any more strikes on Syria, and with Russia sending even more reinforcements, Bashar al-Assad can all but claim victory over the US-backed terrorist “rebels.”

Pesticides Known to Kill Bees Found in U.S. Drinking Water

On April 5, a team of chemists and engineers at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Iowa reported that they had discovered neonicotinoids, a class of pesticides, in treated drinking water. This finding marks the first time anyone has identified the chemicals in tap water. [1]


Gregory LeFevre, a study author and University of Iowa environmental engineer, said:


“Having these types of compounds present in water does have the potential to be concerning, but we don’t really know, at this point, what these levels might be.” [1]





Researchers collected samples last year from taps in Iowa City, as well as on the university campus, and found neonicotinoid concentrations ranging from 0.24 to 57.3 nanograms per liter. That’s based on a scale of parts per trillion, so the concentrations were very small – roughly equal to a single drop of water placed into 20 Olympic-size swimming pools, according to LeFevre.


However, the EPA has not defined safe levels of neonicotinoids in drinking water, partly because the pesticide class is relatively new. Most neonicotinoids were released in the 1990s and were designed to be more environmentally friendly than the competing chemicals. But neonicotinoids kill bees, and the EPA finally admitted as much in January 2016.

Even pesticide manufacturers have admitted that neonicotinoids kill bees, although they claim this is only the case when the toxins are used improperly.


Neonicotinoids attack insects’ nervous systems. Once a bee or other insect is exposed, it enters into a brief spurt of hyperactivity, but eventually becomes paralyzed and dies. [2]


In humans, acute exposure to neonicotinoids resulted in “low rates of adverse health effects,” according to a 2015 report by environmental health scientists at George Washington University and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Chronic, low-level exposure had “suggestive but methodically weak findings.” One Japanese study linked the pesticides with memory loss.


In 2015, USGS scientists took samples from nine sites in Nebraska and Iowa and found varying levels of neonicotinoids in every single one, and some of the sites registered unhealthy levels of the chemicals.

In the latest study, published in Environmental Science and Technology Letters, neonicotinoids were found to be passing through water treatment plants and entering the water supply. Water treatment plants are not designed or intended to filter out pesticides, but that’s not to say that no pesticides are filtered out. [2]


Samples from the University of Iowa treatment plant barely removed any of the three main neonicotinoid chemicals: clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiamethoxam. However, water taken from the Iowa City treatment facility removed 100%, 94%, and 85% of those pesticides, respectively. [3]


If it turns out that the levels uncovered in the latest research are a problem (is there really any “safe” level of pesticides in our drinking water?), then either water treatment facilities will have to be modified to filter them out, or farmers will have to find a way to fight pests minus the pesticides.
