Nothing is ever “either/or.” Of course war is a racket. Has Trump, with this action, initiated a war? Is it possible this action could lead to any other outcome? Is this a limited/appropriate action? A targeted strike on the means of dispensing further chemical attacks?

Am I a “war-monger” because I support Trump? Aren’t there any other possibilities in your universe?

Obama drew red lines and never enforced them. Would Smedly approve? I doubt it.

This ain’t no “normal” day…d’a boyz are letting the world know, they can do what they like, when they like and nothing else matters in the mkts.

Once upon a time they were subtle, now no way.

I also wonder now whether these “events” are being created to allow huge front run profits, which is all these lunatics worry about…..yes that may sound crazy, but the people behind all this are certainly utterly insane.

I just googled that “Ishmael” born 1720 BC died 1580 BC? 140 years old??? Info from that far back doesn’t sit right in my brain. My view???

After development of the internal combustion engine, and fractional reserve banking, increased credit limits, paper money after 1913, enabled the ability for idiots to promote, create and maintain profitable new ways to start and maintain huge global wars.

Simple 🙂

Maybe TPTB are not insane, and really don’t want different results?

you said, ” Nothing in the Middle east is ending. This crap has been going on since the six day war. Its simply the old normal, not the new normal.”

i agree, but there’s more.  if you look at it through the right lens, this crap has been going on since genesis.   pay particular attention to the story of ishmael.

the arabs consider themselves descendants of ishmael.

As I alluded to earlier; when it looks like the cretins are defeated in the battle, they have an arsenal of weapons to choose from ( VIX bashing, USD/JPY carry trade, Fed mouthpieces etc.). Today when they were losing the battle, they chose to release the spew from a Fed mouthpiece ( and ram the USD/JPY higher).

Ps guess my point about words are like in your case the roudy kid learned his lesson. You were big enough or moral enough at a young age to leave it at that. What if you wernt and say laught at the kid, not in fun, even if he deserved it and then went around telling everyone how you bested them? To them that could of been a trigger for them to continue where they left off. Bombing hospitals and families should have been a trigger on the other end and didn’t happen. What they consider a trigger on the other end is not clear. There can be no peace in that when dealing with bullies. There can be no peace in those who are dishonest for personal corp j gain either. So your right in the only thing that will stop them is equal or greater force. In their case the bullies will regroup and morph into something else unless there can be comon ground That won’t happen if theirs a dishonest shadow force who wand something they have. Micromanaging and talking over the citizens and groups of who will ” rule” them isn’t going to help. They probably know more than anyone else the outward corruption behind it.

Oh hell, why not.

First things first: Who used chemical weapons in Syria recently?

The US says it was Assad.

Does anyone remember that Assad allegedly gave up all his chemical weapons?  You forgot that story, right?  It was touted as one of Obama’s “wins”; in fact Susan Rice (yes, that Susan Rice who stands accused of “unmasking” Trump and his pals in “accidental” intelligence intercepts and spreading same all over the government to, some say, “encourage” leaks) said in January that the Obama Administration had secured the removal of all chemical weapons under Syrian government control.

Now maybe she was wrong and maybe she was lying.  But if she wasn’t wrong then obviously Assad didn’t use what he didn’t have.

And let me remind you that there were myriad news reports at the time (2014) that in fact those weapons were gone.

The salient question is this: Who actually used these weapons and where did they come from?

Let me remind you of a few other facts:

1. Assad is winning against the “rebels”; why would he use chemical weapons in a war he is winning when he knows that will bring immediate and serious problems for him?  Assad is a five-alarm bastard but he is not stupid.

2. The “rebels” contain a very large contingent of ISIS backed or affiliated terrorists.

3. The “rebels” would love to see the US come blast their opponent who is beating them in their civil war.  There’s nothing like getting someone else to come blow up the guys who are trying to kill you, especially when you’re losing!

4. The “rebels” don’t give a damn about international law either (terrorists, remember, generally could give a crap about what anyone else thinks.)

The manifest weight of the publicly-visible evidence is that the rebels had motive and perhaps opportunity.  Assad had no motive; he was winning and, according to Susan Rice as recently as January he had no opportunity either.

How do you use something you don’t have?

So on a first-blush look I got two negative factors on one side and one positive and one neutral on the other.  Without some pretty firm evidence I’d say the odds are far higher than the “rebels” used the chems than Assad did, but I don’t have access to classified intelligence.

There are other issues too.  I saw plenty of pictures of medic-type workers tending to people allegedly gassed but not wearing any sort of PPE.  Folks, Sarin, if that’s what was used (and it is what was claimed) is a long-persistence nerve agent.  While the residue might not kill a medic after the fact it sure isn’t anything good to be around or get on you and it does penetrate through unprotected skin.  Would you go tend to those injured in a gas attack using a long-persistence agent without wearing full PPE?

Just asking, you know.

Now maybe it wasn’t Sarin.  Maybe it was chlorine or some other quick-dispersing light-molecule agent that has little residual risk.  But we have been told it was Sarin, so who’s lying and what are they lying about because I’m quite certain that no medic in his or her right mind is going to tend to neurological agent victims without taking appropriate precautions against becoming a victim themselves.

Given that we fired 59 cruise missiles (at what — $2 million each?) resulting in a few blown up airplanes and concrete shelters, plus apparently a fuel depot on a Syrian airbase (but apparently not a destroyed runaway, I note) did we just witness a very expensive fireworks display “for show” or is there something to this?

And if the latter did we actually hit the guy who used chemical weapons or did we just provide military assistance to terrorists?

I’m not at all sure — and that’s not so good.

It’s especially not so good, if you think about it, if Assad did use the chems.  See, if he really did do it then he had them, which means Rice was either wrong or lied.  Before you dismiss this as “politics as usual” let me remind you that we were also repeatedly assured that Iran does not possess a nuclear weapon, and that Obama prevented that from occurring, just as he “disarmed” Assad’s chemical stockpile.

You might want to contemplate laying in backstock of SPF 50,000,000 Sunblock — just in case Rice and the Press lied twice.

I ask you:

if gold can’t hold a gain on such a weak jobs report day—plus the boost from the syria bizness, when will it ever? A jaw dropping $13 reversal in gold.

A trend in motion, stays in motion, until it actually ends. Nothing in the Middle east is ending. This crap has been going on since the six day war. Its simply the old normal, not the new normal.

1967, Six-Day War ends, Part:

The Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors ends with a United Nations-brokered cease-fire. The outnumbered Israel Defense Forces achieved a swift and decisive victory in the brief war, rolling over the Arab coalition that threatened the Jewish state and more than doubling the amount of territory under Israel’s control. The greatest fruit of victory lay in seizing the Old City of Jerusalem from Jordan; thousands of Jews wept while bent in prayer at the Second Temple’s Western Wall.

Increased tensions and skirmishes along Israel’s northern border with Syria were the immediate cause of the third Arab-Israeli war. In 1967, Syria intensified its bombardment of Israeli settlements across the border, and Israel struck back by shooting down six Syrian MiG fighters. After Syria alleged in May 1967 that Israel was massing troops along the border, Egypt mobilized its forces and demanded the withdrawal of the U.N. Emergency Force from the Israel-Egypt cease-fire lines of the 1956 conflict. The U.N. peacekeepers left on May 19, and three days later Egypt closed the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping. On May 30, Jordan signed a mutual-defense treaty with Egypt and Syria, and other Arab states, including Iraq, Kuwait, and Algeria, sent troop contingents to join the Arab coalition against Israel.

Although theirs other issues with bullies including something going on at home sometimes or school as you there is usually a self esteem issue going on with them. These kind of bullies take that as reapect they don’t deserve and don’t even see themselves as asses others see them af or trouble makers or don’t care what other see. They are also touchy as we need in individuals like ISIS and everything insults them so you better treat me special sort of thing Giving in to them won’t make things better or change anything. Some like your attackers have to learn the hard way. Others will plot revenge.

With that sometimes you can see trouble ahead when they go back and forth with words bragging or saying you better do this or that even a non bully would not like or accomodate. That and out right lies like if they really did something. Yeah we’re gonna do this or that or did. Things that can accelerate. Yes if other options failed and war is only option left for defence. Right now we’re hearing nothing but the rockets and if Assad or his regime ordered the Attack as the norm and reason. First did they though? It’s ironic to me some forms of killing are more acceptable than others when the result is the same. Rape and murder, putting people in cages drowning them, selling people including babies, burning them beheading them okay. Nothing done  for bombing hospitals or homes with civilians including children.  Now suddenly out of the blue a Chem Attack and people are conserned

Good call…PM shares already down on day….how long before Au follows.

I think we can now say that the scum are certifiably crazy…but they control the US and the West…a Black Day.

While McStain calls this a beginning he had better realise that Syria is much the same as Crimea/Ukraine…Russia will never let some Western stooge run it. They need Assad there, they will likely arm the place to the teeth and man those armaments…The huge question now is how long will the Russians patience hold. While Bath House was President they probably took the view he was a weak fool, being easily manipulated, but now they may decide outright confrontation is their only option, to this seemingly non stop aggression….. so yes it is just the beginning…of WW III.

If you read the Ron Paul article, you will see that he is merely speculating. He says, “It doesn’t make any sense for Assad under these conditions to all of a sudden use poison gases – I think there’s zero chance he would have done this deliberately.” Trump has acted on military intelligence, which traced the planes from take-off to delivery and back to the airbase. Also, Ron Paul rules out Assad because he gains no benefit, but he has not ruled out Iran. The Mullahs have everything to gain from the sarin atrocity, and we needed to call their bluff. As I said in an earlier post, Syrian aircraft have for some time been piloted by Iranian pilots.

As to the second article you linked, they claim that because “Images appear to show that Syrian White Helmet operatives were handling purported sarin victims with their bare hands, rather than with gloves, which is necessary to prevent the rescuer being injured by the chemical themselves. They also appear to be using simple dust masks, which are not suitable protection in the event of a sarin attack.”
Why do you think that first responders in such an emergency, not knowing the chemical agent used, not knowing it was sarin, would hesitate to help victims immediately? So you think they would stand around and wait for a Hazmat suit?

So, I am not convinced by these stories, and I SUPPORT TRUMP.

In the first grade , over the Christmas break , my parents transferred me to a school on the other side of town , because my father was building a home there which was not ready for occupancy , but would be within a month or two . For me , it entailed taking a city bus to the center of town , then transferring to a second bus which had a stop close to the school . I was a timid kid and the change of routine and loss of neighborhood friends and classmates did not help . Two boys in my new class ganged up to physically bully me during recess and at lunch time in another class room used by those who brought a lunch pail instead of returning home for lunch . After a couple of weeks of their physical abuse , I had just finished my lunch and was headed down a central hallway to the steps at right angles to the hallway , when I heard the pounding of footsteps running behind me . I instinctively ducked , just as one of the bullies (who had also brought a lunch that day) launched to grab me around the neck from behind . Timing and location were perfect . I ducked , he flew , and momentum took him right over me , turned upside down , and slammed his back hard against one of those old cast iron, wall mounted radiators which heated that part of the hallway and stairwell . He came up bawling and blaming me for ‘attacking’ him . Fortunately , the principal was in her office at the opposite end of the hall and witnessed the whole thing . She told him that he deserved what he had received , and left it at that .

When the other bully returned from lunch and his buddy was still nursing his pain , they decided further bullying was not a good idea .

Bullies are basically cowards . We have witnessed many in Washington D.C. who use bully tactics , on both sides of the aisle . We also see bullies heading up other nations around the world . Sometimes action makes bullies think twice , but it can also become a two way street, inviting further aggression  . In my case it did not – it ended the aggression .

Many former Donald Trump supporters have turned on the President after his decision to retaliate against the Assad regime for its chemical weapons attack.

Nigel Farage, Milo Yiannopoulos Katie Hopkins, right-wing vlogger Paul Joseph Watson, Ukip leader Paul Nuttall and Ukip donor Arron Banks are among the Trump supporters who have been disappointed by their hero.

Mr Farage said: “I am very surprised by this. I think a lot of Trump voters will be waking up this morning and scratching their heads and saying ‘where will it all end?’

Possibly more sad news regarding Bannon

Posted by Moggy @ 12:36 on April 7, 2017  

President Trump is considering ousting both White House chief of staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Steve Bannon, Axios reported on Friday.

Aides and advisers to the president told Axios that, while Trump is considering a major shakeup in the West Wing, it’s not clear when it would happen or if Trump will “pull that trigger.”

“Things are happening, but it’s very unclear the president’s willing to pull that trigger,” one top aide said.

Bannon emerged as one of Trump’s closest – and most controversial – aides before the president took office. In the early days of his presidency, Trump elevated Bannon onto the National Security Council’s principals committee, and the former Breitbart executive chairman was said to hold considerable influence with the president.

But Bannon was removed from the NSC earlier this week, seen by many White House staffers as a sign of the aide’s fall from grace inside the Trump administration. The reshuffling of the NSC came as Bannon, a self-described “economic nationalist,” finds himself locked in a battle with Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner over influence.

Bannon and Priebus represent divergent “wings” in the Trump administration, with the latter, a former Republican National Committee chairman, serving as the voice of the political establishment in a White House full of political neophytes.

Firing them both would be an enormous upheaval for the young presidency, which has yet to hit its 100-day mark.

Axios did not say who could replace Bannon as Trump’s chief strategist, but reported that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Trump economic adviser Gary Cohn were among those being considered to replace Priebus as chief of staff.
