Busted: White House Syria Report Obviously False (updated/video)

[ Editor’s note:  I received a warning yesterday morning from a ranking member of the Trump team, a general. He told me; “VT is wrong, I know you mean well, we all respect you, but we have slamdunk intelligence that says Russia planned and executed the chemical attack in Idlib.” This is someone I know reasonably well and this talk was going to go downhill, and I might lose a friend.

He went on to explain how surveillance satellites had seen a weapon loaded by Russian technicians onto an SU23. He said the flight was tracked by satellite to Khan Sheikhoun and then back. He also said that surveillance showed that the ordnance was no longer on the plane when it landed, proof of a chemical weapons attack.

My end began like this:

• We have to look for motive, and que bono is always there, who gains by this. You have no motive, but instead you have motive on the other side to falsify intelligence, and you got this from the same people who found imaginary nukes in Iran, WMD’s in Iraq and who can’t find a dozen heroin processing plants in Afghanistan, slam dunk for the other side.
• To this we add the following; we know the players there, in particular, al Jazeera’s film teams which are entirely Qatari intelligence officers and Reuters, who are Arabs who worked for Israeli news bureaus, meaning they are “walk ins.” To this we add the following, Turkey claims Khan Sheikhoun is an FSA controlled city and they have a military presence there and have had since 2014. Yet they were nowhere to be seen when the attack happened. This is an important military outpost in Syria for Turkey, the most important and has been for years.
• We then look at the history, with over 600 reports of gas attacks, some in the exact same location as this one, and all those in Aleppo. An examination of the video shows similar staging and, since the fall of Aleppo, all attacks and massacres there reported by the Syrian Human Rights Observatory and the White Helmets have been debunked.
• Then we have this report: https://veteranstoday.com/2017/04/06/swedish-medical-associations-says-white-helmets-murdered-kids-for-fake-gas-attack-videos/ which destroys the entire “on the ground” narrative completely.
• To this we have to add more, that claims of evidence including “samples” have the following fatal flaw and are shamefully false: A. Samples were taken by al Qaeda and turned over to Turkey, no one would ever accept this as “chain of custody,” not a sane person at least and B. When Syria turned their WMD’s over to the US in 2013, rebel groups controlled and looted.
• From the USNI, (US Naval Institute) September 26, 2012: “Ideally, a mission to destroy Syrian WMDs would focus on these stockpiles before regime forces forward deploy them to artillery or missile units, or before said stockpiles fall to rebel forces, which may lack the training, equipment, or discipline to safeguard chemical weapons for teams to inspect and dispose of them. Syria has more than 3,400 artillery pieces, many of which can fire chemically armed shells or rockets. Chemically armed artillery rounds would also be easiest to smuggle out of Syria.”
• Within 3 months of this report, what the USNI warned of did happen and Syria turned over all supplies except those that were taken by rebel forces, which included sarin gas. Thus, any sample submitted is defacto proof of a rebel attack, not an attack by Damascus.

At the end of the discussion, things turned to guns, motorcycles and long dead friends. What would never happen, however, is for an American officer to inform the NSC that they are simply making things up.

Now someone a bit smarter than me has gotten their entire report and gutted it line by line. It wont’ make any difference, the MSM is bought and paid for and, as we all know now, has been run by those who run Trump for some time. For those who still care, the truth… Gordon Duff ]

[ Editor’s Note 2: Dr. Postol has as strong a resume in weapons technology that you can find, and maybe a reason why you don’t find someone like him on the NSC.

Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. He did his undergraduate work in physics and his graduate work in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Postol joined the staff of Argonne National Laboratory, where he studied the microscopic dynamics and structure of liquids and disordered solids using neutron, x-ray and light scattering, along with computer molecular dynamics techniques.

Subsequently he went to the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment to study methods of basing the MX Missile, and later worked as a scientific adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. After leaving the Pentagon, Dr. Postol helped to build a program at Stanford University to train mid-career scientists to study developments in weapons technology of relevance to defense and arms control policy.

In 1990 Dr. Postol was awarded the Leo Szilard Prize from the American Physical Society. In 1995 he received the Hilliard Roderick Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 2001 he received the Norbert Wiener Award from Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility for uncovering numerous and important false claims about missile defenses.
