Smoking Gun — Video Exposes Evidence Tampering At Syrian Chemical Attack Site

To uncover a deception, sometimes it’s necessary to search for subtle indicators which may reveal that something just isn’t right. Immediately after the Trump regime announced the Bashar Al Assad government had gassed its own people, the president authorized a barrage of cruise missiles be sent into Syria purportedly in an attempt to send the message the U.S. would not sit idly by while a rogue government attacks its own people. Trump’s supporters stood as a bulwark behind their president as he led the nation as aggressors to attack a sovereign country.

However, others, such as MIT professor Theodore A. Postol, wanted more. They wanted proof. The proof never came before the cruise missiles were launched and still has not been provided to the American people. The only thing the Trump regime has offered are words, which it apparently wants all Americans to trust. That being said, the American people are smarter than they were when their government told them there were “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq. All of which is no surprise to Postol, who is now calling the Trump regime to the carpet over its declaration a chemical attack took place in Syria, and over its motivations for doing so.

Postol isn’t your run-of-the-mill adjunct professor. He’s arguably the leading expert in the field of missile fired chemical weapons. Here’s his bio:

Theodore A. Postol, professor emeritus of science, technology, and national security policy at MIT. Postol’s main expertise is in ballistic missiles. He has a substantial background in air dispersal, including how toxic plumes move in the air. Postol has taught courses on weapons of mass destruction – including chemical and biological threats – at MIT. Before joining MIT, Postol worked as an analyst at the Office of Technology Assessment, as a science and policy adviser to the chief of naval operations, and as a researcher at Argonne National Laboratory. He also helped build a program at Stanford University to train mid-career scientists to study weapons technology in relation to defense and arms control policy. Postol is a highly-decorated scientist, receiving the Leo Szilard Prize from the American Physical Society, the Hilliard Roderick Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Richard L. Garwin Award from the Federation of American Scientists.

In his third report since the U.S. government declared a gas attack occurred in the Idlib Province in Syria, professor Postol said he has, “unambiguous evidence that the White House Intelligence Report (WHR) of April 11, 2017 contains false and misleading claims that could not possibly have been accepted in any professional review by impartial intelligence experts.”

Reportedly using the same commercially available video footage the White House said it used to conclude a gassing had taken place, Postol examined YouTube uploads of the site where the U.S. says the Sarin gas was released.

In the first of two videos examined, a man can be seen handling a dead caged bird (reportedly killed by Sarin residue) with one surgical glove on one hand and a bare hand on the other.

“The implication of these actions was that the birds had died after being placed in the alleged sarin crater. However, the video also shows the same workers inside and around the same crater with no protection of any kind against sarin poisoning,” wrote Postol.

The poison gas expert said the preventative measures taken by the Syrians would have killed them.

Postol explained further, “The honeycomb face masks would provide absolutely no protection against either sarin vapors or sarin aerosols. The masks are only designed to filter small particles from the air. If there were sarin vapor, it would be inhaled without attenuation by these individuals. If the sarin were in an aerosol form, the aerosol would have condensed into the pours in the masks, and would have evaporated into a highly lethal gas as the individuals inhaled through the mask. It is difficult to believe that such health workers, if they were health workers, would be so ignorant of these basic facts.”

The MIT professor openly doubted whether they had any training at all, even though in the second video they were dressed in attire labeled “Idlib Health Directive” written in English (for what purpose other than to mislead an English-reading video audience). Postol also noted that other bystanders were wearing no protection at all in an area where nearly six dozen Syrians were reportedly killed in a lethal sarin gas attack.

He concluded the WHR itself was not properly vetted before it was released to the public.

Postol wrote, “the WHR was not reviewed and released by any competent intelligence experts (such as himself) unless they were motivated by factors other than concerns about the accuracy of the report.”

Professor Postol openly wondered about the motivations for issuing such a flawed report, as if there existed other motivations for knowingly deceiving the American people.

The MIT munitions and chemical weapons expert selected several statements from the WHR which apparently disturbed him, and for which he later said needs to be thoroughly investigated. The following statements were made by the Trump regime in the WHR, statements Postol says are based on flawed video evidence.

The United States is confident that the Syrian regime conducted a chemical weapons attack, using the nerve agent sarin, against its own people in the town of Khan Shaykhun in southern Idlib Province on April 4, 2017.

We have confidence in our assessment because we have signals intelligence and geospatial intelligence, laboratory analysis of physiological samples collected from multiple victims, as well as a significant body of credible open source reporting

We cannot publicly release all available intelligence on this attack due to the need to protect sources and methods, but the following includes an unclassified summary of the U.S. Intelligence Community’s analysis of this attack.

By 12:15 PM [April4, 2017] local time, broadcasted local videos included images of dead children of varying ages.
… at 1:10 PM [April4, 2017] local … follow-on videos showing the bombing of a nearby hospital …

Commercial satellite imagery from April 6 showed impact craters around the hospital that are consistent with open source reports of a conventional attack on the hospital after the chemical attack.

Moscow has since claimed that the release of chemicals was caused by a regime airstrike on a terrorist ammunition depot in the eastern suburbs of Khan Shaykhun.

An open source video also shows where we believe the chemical munition landed [Emphasis Added]—not on a facility filled with weapons, but in the middle of a street in the northern section of Khan Shaykhun. Commercial satellite imagery of that site from April 6, [Emphasis Added] after the allegation, shows a crater in the road that corresponds to the open source video.

The professor went on to declare, based on the video evidence, that the White House Intelligence Report itself (WHR) was, “fabricated without input from the professional intelligence community,” an explosive claim to say the least which points the finger of blame directly at the Trump regime for lying to the American people without any concrete evidence.

The supposed gassing was reportedly carried out on the 4th of April, and by the 7th of April the president had already attacked Syria. The MIT expert accused the president of going it alone when he concluded, “It now appears that the president ordered this cruise missile attack without any valid intelligence to support it.” He then accused the Trump regime of covering up their own ineptitude. He wrote:

In order to cover up the lack of intelligence to supporting the president’s action, the National Security Council produced a fraudulent intelligence report on April 11 four days later. The individual responsible for this report was Lieutenant General H. R. McMaster, the National Security Advisor. The McMaster report is completely undermined by a significant body of video evidence taken after the alleged sarin attack and before the US cruise missile attack that unambiguously shows the claims in the WHR could not possibly be true. This cannot be explained as a simple error.

Equally disturbing to some is the fact the president’s actions brings the United States closer to an armed conflict with Russia, a country who’s also, ironically, determined to defeat ISIS in Syria.

Yet, as The Free Thought Project has reported, members of Congress have spoken out against the U.S. Government’s funding of terrorists, the same ones featured in the video’s which purported to show a Sarin gas attack occurring in Syria perpetrated by the Syrian government on its own people.

Postol called for an independent investigation into the claims and actions made and taken by the Trump regime. He concluded:

It is now obvious that this incident produced by the WHR, while just as serious in terms of the dangers it created for US security, was a clumsy and outright fabrication of a report that was certainly not supported by the intelligence community.

In this case, the president, supported by his staff, made a decision to launch 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian air base. This action was accompanied by serious risks of creating a confrontation with Russia, and also undermining cooperative efforts to win the war against the Islamic State.

I therefore conclude that there needs to be a comprehensive investigation of these events that have either misled people in the White House White House, or worse yet, been perpetrated by people to protect themselves from domestic political criticisms for uninformed and ill-considered actions.

It remains to be seen whether or not members of Congress will actually call for a committee to investigate the Trump regime’s actions taken in Syria, but already, many Americans are calling for a regime change of their own. The movement to impeach Trump may gain steam as more and more experts like Postol are speaking out against their president’s thoughtless and reckless actions.

As US Bombs Syria, Americans Forgot Govt Used Chemical Weapons to Kill Children in Texas

Americans are up in arms over the alleged gas attack in Syria. Although there was no investigation, and many high-profile individuals have called it a sham, the US has pinned the blame on Syrian president Bashar Al Assad. So, we thought it would be a good idea to remind our fellow Americans of an occasion where the federal government got away with gassing its own people, an action which, consequently, led to the deaths of 86 men, women, and children.

Our source material comes from the FBI’s own vault, which contains two files on the case against Vernon Howell, also known as David Koresh. Koresh was the leader of the “Branch Davidians Seventh Day Adventists.” According to the FBI case file, Koresh was believed to have been holding people against their will at his compound in Waco, Texas, potentially guilty of “involuntary servitude and slavery” charges.

In 1992, Child Protective Services (CPS) was called in to investigate the accusations. After a thorough investigation, CPS concluded no one was being held at the compound against their will, nor any child abuse, and the federal prosecutor, who reviewed the report, saw no reason to prosecute Koresh. On October 16th, 1992, the FBI closed the case against Koresh and the allegations he was abusing children and holding his followers against their will.

Still, however, the FBI proceeded with investigating other allegations the Branch Davidians had converted semi-automatic AR-15 (assault) rifles into fully automatic ones, a violation of federal law. Also alleged was that the group was planning a mass suicide. The FBI concluded, “no information has been developed to verify the accuracy of the allegations.” Still, the FBI put local law enforcement on notice.

Despite having no concrete evidence Koresh, who some have said was delusional, had violated anyone’s civil rights, or abused any children, the investigation into the weapons violations continued. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives pursued the allegations the group was stockpiling weapons and explosives. According to the ATF,  the bureau found:

136 FIREARMS, INCLUDING ASSAULT RIFLES AND HANDGUNS

700+ MAGAZINES FOR THOSE FIREARMS

200,000+ ROUNDS OF VARIOUS AMMUNITION

110 UPPER AND LOWER RECEIVERS FOR AR15/M16 RIFLES

GRENADE-LAUNCHER ATTACHMENTS FOR AR15/M16 RIFLES

400+ EMPTY M31 RIFLE GRENADES, ALONG WITH BLACK POWDER AND OTHER

EXPLOSIVE CHEMICALS

Wishing to further investigate the compound’s armory, the ATF secured a search warrant and attempted to raid the compound on February 28th, 1993. The Davidians, possibly feeling they must protect their home, property, and persons from the intruders, opened fire on the federal agents, an action which led to the deaths of several ATF agents and compound members.

FOUR ATF AGENTS (SA TODD MCKEEHAN, SA CONWAY LEBLEU, SA ROBERT WILLIAMS AND SA STEVEN WILLIS) WERE KILLED; 20 ATF AGENTS WOUNDED FROM GUNSHOTS OR SHRAPNEL AND 8 SUFFERED OTHER INJURIES. SIX DAVIDIANS WERE ALSO REPORTEDLY KILLED AND FOUR WOUNDED FROM GUNSHOTS, ALTHOUGH THIS COULD NOT BE FORENSICALLY PROVEN BECAUSE OF THE LATER DESTRUCTION (BY FIRE) OF THE COMPOUND.

The raid initiated a 51-day standoff with the ATF as well as the FBI. Koresh released 24 members from the compound, who were mostly children, and continued the stand-off with authorities which was broadcast daily across the country until day 51 arrived. On that day, the government brought in heavy equipment and penetrated the compound with a tank-like machine which pumped the compound full of CS Gas. What happened next, in the minds of many who saw it, can only be likened to a horror film.

The compound became ablaze with a roaring fire. The all-consuming inferno killed 76 people who were huddled inside. Later, it was determined many of those who’d perished were also shot by firearms. Researchers, who later investigated the incident, concluded federal agents were observed shooting from the compound’s grounds into the building already set ablaze by fire. While the official government narrative is those individuals committed suicide, the researchers were able to demonstrate they were likely killed by automatic weapons fired by federal agents, possibly killed as they were attempting to flee their burning compound.

To this day, the ATF maintains the fire was, “set by cult members, as law enforcement attempted to force them out by introducing tear gas into the building.” And for years, following the fiery destruction of the compound, the FBI maintained the same story line. That was until 1999, when then-Attorney General Janet Reno made the following admission, “I am very, very troubled by the information I received this week suggesting that pyrotechnic devices may have been used in the early morning hours on April the 19th, 1993, at Waco. At this time, all available indications are that the devices were not directed at the main wooden compound, were discharged several hours before the fire started, and were not the cause of the fire. Nonetheless, it is absolutely critical that we do everything humanly possible to learn all the facts as accurately as possible and make them available to the public and Congress.”

Those facts, according to some of the survivors of the fire, who were inside at the time the fire broke out, are undeniable. They are convinced the government used incendiary devices to set ablaze the tear gas which had been pumped into the building. And they’re not alone. According to CBS News, “Independent filmmaker Michael McNulty came upon some evidence that appeared damaging to the government. He found a shell casing from a certain type of tear gas round that could start a fire – a device the Justice Department had denied using for more than six years – publicly and to Congress.” That shell casing led to Reno’s acknowledgment, but the government still has not taken full responsibility, as Reno denied the devices were used to penetrate the building. Questions still remain as to why they would be used at all.

Even though it was later determined Koresh had, indeed, molested children, and was by all intents and purposes a pedophile of the worst kind, the fact remains. The government used gas on its own people which either directly or indirectly led to the deaths of 76 people. There was no international outcry. Foreign governments did not threaten to retaliate against the ATF and the FBI. Russia did not feel compelled to launch guided missiles into the Waco, TX airport. And neither should the United States.

The U.S. has no business in the affairs of Syrians. And just like in Waco, it may take years to know precisely who was responsible for gassing and killing 83 Syrians in the Idlib Province. But go ahead and believe the official government narrative if you’d like. Here at TFTP, we prefer to deal with the facts.

Watch: Police Clash With Anti-War Protesters, Viciously Assault Peaceful Vet

Free-thinking Americans all across the country have taken to the streets to protest yet another war the U.S. has started with a sovereign nation and the resultant police response is indicative of the truly dystopian nature of the American police state.

What The U.S. began when George W. Bush attacked Iraq, has continued (to include either regime change or upheaval) in Afghanistan, Libya, Qatar, Egypt (failed), Tunisia, Yemen, Somalia, and now, Syria.

Bush used the pretext of terrorism and the War on Terror to preemptively attack Iraq, whereas, Obama used the “Arab Spring” disguised as a grassroots protest movement which quickly morphed into an insurgent movement. Now, President Trump is using the gassing of children, along with ‘moderate rebels’, to effect regime change in Syria.

Yet, there’s something different in the American climate. Absent the outrage of a 9/11 style attack, Americans are starting to understand their country has now become the aggressor, starting wars at will, and leaving a battlefield of dead American soldiers in their wake.

In Jacksonville, Florida, an anti-war group is finding out the hard way that their rights to peacefully object to the war in Syria aren’t guaranteed.

During a “Hands Off Syria” protest, Mike Todd, a member of the group, Jacksonville Against The War On Syria (JAWS), captured video of JAWS’ protests on the streets in Jacksonville. The group was objecting to what appears to be the imminent American invasion of Syria, an action which will likely trigger World War III. The video shows Jacksonville police arresting several of the anti-war protesters, one of whom is Connell Bam Crooms, a person whom Todd says is a “peaceful” anti-war protester — who’s also a disabled veteran (deaf).

As evidenced by an RT video, Crooms was taken down forcefully by police and apparently knocked unconscious. A senior citizen attempted to pull off the officer who was beating Crooms, but the lawman turned an punched the elderly man six times in the face before choking him.

Following the arrests, in a related video, one man can be heard screaming, “he was alive when you put him in the car!” The camera angle purportedly shows Crooms being loaded into an ambulance following his arrest. Todd was apparently overcome with despair, loudly weeping at the sight of his friend and fellow protester being taken to the hospital.

The veteran lost his hearing aid in the melee. Fellow protesters recovered it at the scene.

The arrests occurred when police officers penetrated the protesters’ group and appear to have provoked a reaction by the ant-war gatherers. Police engaged in fighting with the groups’ members, which gave the officers all the probable cause they needed to make the arrests.

While the video doesn’t show the entire encounter, what can be observed is aggressive policing on the part of the officers of the peace. Later, the group held a post-rally meeting where they called on all charges to be dropped against the protesters. In all, six protesters were arrested at the Jacksonville JAWS anti-war protest.

Crooms’ arrest is probably one of many, as anti-war protests spontaneously popped up all throughout the country. New York, LA, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, DC, San Francisco, and Seattle were cities in which protests against the War on Syria were taking place.

All those free thinkers have to do is remember when the U.S. used the same argument being used today, that Saddam Hussein had gassed his own people, to get the full agreement of the American public to support the president’s decision to attack a sovereign country.
