Army sending 101st Airborne Division to Africa in support of Ebola mission
By Douglas Ernst – The Washington Times – Tuesday, September 30, 2014
The U.S. Army is sending the 101st Airborne Division, along with combat engineers from other units, to Africa in support of the international community’s attempt to halt the spread of the Ebola virus.
Roughly 1,400 troops, half of whom will be from the famous Fort Campbell, Kentucky, division, will help build 17 100-bed hospital facilities and a health care facility for infected patients, Army Times reported Tuesday. The Pentagon expects the total number of troops sent to the region as part of Operation United Assistance to reach 3,000.
“The most important thing we can do right now is get cases in isolation so we can stem this outbreak,” Dr. Steve Monroe, deputy director of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Disease at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Tuesday, the paper reported.
SEE ALSO: Ebola patient moved about Dallas for four days before needing treatment
U.S. military personnel will have received immunizations for chickenpox, influenza, hepatitis, yellow fever and others prior to their October deployment, the paper reported. They will also be well versed in regionally specific training on Ebola prevention.
The World Health Organization believes that 2,900 people have been killed in West Africa as a result of the virus, and the Centers for Disease Control has said that 1.4 million people could be infected with the virus before the end of the year. Half of that population would be expected to die, The Associated Press reported Sunday.

This sounds much more convincing that Theresa’, Boris, and Gavin’ accusations against Vlad: https://www.sgtreport.com/2018/03/did-elite-pedophiles-fake-nerve-gas-attack-in-salisbury/
“It is thought Skripal has Spanish bank accounts and enumerates Russian oligarchs amongst his friends. Could it be he was killed to stop him exposing who in Parliament took the bribe to cover up the Russian money laundering scam? …
The Conservative Party has received something close to £850,000 in donations from the Russian oligarchs. Thus the FCA, with their secret fines and useless investigation, supervised by the Conservatives, helped the banks get away with money laundering, and in return the Conservatives were paid off. Just as the Russian bribery scandal is exposed, as if by magic, a Russian intelligence officer, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter are alleged to be poisoned by a mysterious substance in their home at Salisbury, England …
It seems Lord Chief Justice Baron Thomas was surrounded by men and women involved in paedophilia and things have got worse under Burnett, the pizza-lover.
Burnett also covered up Deutsche Bank’s money laundering for ISIS and the Russian Mafia, with the help of the Attorney General, Jeremy Wright MP. Deutsche Bank laundered $10 billion and the FCA (the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority) fined it in secret and failed to identify a single recipient of the money. This was part of a bank cartel laundering £65 billion from oligarchs illicitly transferring money from Russia into London. The cartel also included Barclays, RBS and HSBC. The laundering operation appears to have been kept secret with the help of Barclays’ Jes Staley – Epstein’s man. …
There is also the case of Jeffrey Epstein providing Lolita services to the British elite. Epstein is Jewish and the evidence tells us that Epstein’s Island was Mossad’s blackmail operation. There is the real possibility that Epstein’s network in London would have been routed from the West London Synagogue. The result of that network was the appointment of Jes Staley to the CEO of Barclays. The FOIA referred to in that link proves the UK Treasury Select Committee covered up Epstein’s lobbying by lying to the press about it. …
Insiders tell me May has destroyed dossiers on elite paedophiles, and this is entirely consistent with the article linked above. It is a fact that the MI-5 knew that MPs and prosecutors had lied to protect Smith and the MI-5 did nothing. The MI-5 ultimately answer to the Prime Minister. …
Gangsters generally have a high disposition for paedophilia – it goes hand-in-hand with sadism and psychopathy. One wonders if the Russian gangsters in and around the West London Synagogue, have been supplying children to child trafficking groups in that area. Perhaps Sir Ian Burnett knows the answers, and perhaps Skripal knew that Burnett had the answers and for that reason Skripal and his daughter were poisoned.”
— This is a lot of reliable and well-researched information

Wealthy Russians, even the ones who vote for Putin are all in London with their kids and money, or want to be. Skirpal was living the Russian dream. Putin is like De Gaulle dreading and knowing that once he is gone his beloved homeland will fall under the sway of a rival he loathes.

The key point is that Skripal was retired, and therefore not of much use.

Does anyone in London want some "Granny Popsicles" (to use Bill Jones' term) on their conscience? I doubt it, as even the worst neocon must be slightly human.

I forgot to mention…. A measure of the Brits’ embarrassment and humilation is that they tried to hide the fact that the natural gas was from Russia, by getting it from a third party (Royal Dutch Shell ship, off the coast of France). Presumably, an actual Russian tanker parked in a British port, there to save British lives, would have been too much to bear.

My idea is that it is possible, C14 is not a good example, cannot see it as radio active.

Consequently, Chinese companies have been hemorrhaging monies due to fukus organised FF and regime changes.

If conflict with China is inevitable, it makes sense to have U.S. bases in Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq and maybe Iran and Syria. If China is dependent on Middle East oil, it makes sense for the U.S. to be able to control how and where it flows from the Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf oil fields. It makes sense to cultivate an alliance with India, risking the accusation of nuclear hypocrisy in doing so. It makes sense to ratchet up tensions on the Korean Peninsula, by linking North Korea to Iran and Iraq, calling it “evil,” dismissing South Korea’s “sunshine diplomacy” efforts and encouraging Japan to take a hard line towards Pyongyang. It makes sense to get Tokyo to declare, for the first time, that the security of the Taiwan Straights is of common concern to it and Washington. It makes sense to regain a strategic toehold in the Philippines, in the name of the War on Terror, and to vilify the growing Filipino Maoist movement.
As you can see, the same old policies continues under Clinton, Bush., Obama, Trump….without missing a bit !

The causes and consequences of this war have been the object of a vast media disinformation campaign, which has sought to camouflage NATO and US war crimes.
… a large segment of the “Progressive Left” in Western Europe and North America were part of this disinformation campaign, presenting NATO military intervention as a necessary humanitarian operation geared towards protecting the rights of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
The intervention was in violation of international law. President Milosevic at the Rambouillet talks had refused the stationing of NATO troops inside Yugoslavia.
The Kosovo Liberation Army – whose leader Hachim Thaci is now president of Kosovo – was a paramilitary army supported by Western intelligence, financed and trained by the US and NATO. It had ties to organised crime. It also had links to Al Qaeda, which is supported by US [zionized] intelligence.

“Nowhere do I hear about the five Russian diplomats who died from dubious causes last year.
Nor is there any talk about the Russian ambassador Karlov assassinated late 2016 in Ankara, Turkey.
The assassination had been perpetrated by a pawn of the NATO-Gladio act that is the “Fetullah Sect” (this sect is also the culprit for the US sanctioned coup attempt in Turkey in 2016, and its leader still lives in Pennsylvania under CIA control).
Who ordered the assassination of ambassador Karlov?”
— Well, Sean, — who wants Russians out of Syria? Who has the unbounded tribal hatred towards Russians? Hey, Sean, show your “credibility.”
Is this you, Frederick Kagan, from the family business of the committed banderites? Nothing can be compared to Jewish hatred towards Russia (though Purim is another story of how the obnoxious “chosen” treat their hosts).
The most presstituting American (Ziocon) Enterprise Institute, stuffed with the progeny of Naftali Frankel (GULAG) and Lazar Kaganovitch (Holodomor), spreads the same ideas as you do.
Here is the former Soviet and currently very zioconish Leon Aron, a supposed “expert” in Russian affairs, who cannot rationalize the Russians’ choice of Putin. He even insinuates that there were no elections in Russia because his man in Moscow, a Fifth-columnist, told the senescent Leon Aron that Russian elections would not be “elections.” http://www.aei.org/publication/putins-ominous-re-election/
Aron quetches that the Fifth column in Russia is dwindling. He does not explain why. But the answer is obvious: The Fifth column needs financial support from the US; no money, no opposition.
Leon Aron believes, like other committed ziocons plus Mr. Rove, that facts have no considerable value. Hence his slander of Crimeans and his slander of the Russian Federation re Skripal affair. If there is money for Aron, then Aron delivers.
Mr. Leon Aron is an obedient and willing presstitute working hard to have his proverbial butter on the bread. No intellectual honesty is allowed for such endeavor. He is a willing tool.
The May show was enough for the EU yesterday to escalate the EU war against Russia.
Our Rutte, nicknamed Pinochio, stated on tv that ‘proof is not necessary, May says it is highly likely’.
Motive in questions like this is the essential point.
The only explanation I can think of is that Brussel said to May ‘show us that you’re on our side in our cold war with Russia, then we will give you temporary access to the EU market’.
At the end of the period GB again will be asked to show loyalty to Brussels, I expect.
Air does become radioactive; that's why Carbon-14 dating works, because we can measure the ratio of radioactive Carbon to normal Carbon. There are also several radioactive isotopes of Strontium and Cesium, which are still causing leukemia in children decades after all the atmospheric tests have ended.

That is a psycho-analysis (babble?) step too far. Maybe Putin just likes Russia as is. He has tried to accommodate the West and was very publicly turned down, so he simply makes the best out of it. (And if you don’t think West has not repeatedly stiffed Russia over the last 15-20 years, you might be living on another planet.) We have no idea what happened to Skripal, the official story, just an accusation, is not backed up by any evidence. For all we can guess, he was poisoned by his daughter, her boyfriend, or any number of other potential suspects. If UK has the evidence, let them produce it – that is rule number one in any investigation.
Russian economy is long-term competitive stagnant and comparable to Australia’s in size.
Russia has 1/4 of world’s resources: arable land, water, forests, energy, minerals, etc… Australia is a less than half Russia’s size and is 70-80% covered by unusable land (mostly deserts). It has also been slowly transforming demographically and given its exposed locations that will eventually overwhelm it. Australia has minimal tech competence, it relies on partners. Russia has technology and educated population: nukes, arms, planes, space vehicles,… Not something Australia could ever do.

It was your comment that prompted me to look into this author. Thank you. I share your concerns.

He may be partly unaware of his deepest motivation, but I think Putin is playing a long game of deliberately alienating the West from Russia to such an extent that even when he is gone Russia will have to continue to follow its own path.
That is a psycho-analysis (babble?) step too far. Maybe Putin just likes Russia as is. He has tried to accommodate the West and was very publicly turned down, so he simply makes the best out of it. (And if you don't think West has not repeatedly stiffed Russia over the last 15-20 years, you might be living on another planet.) We have no idea what happened to Skripal, the official story, just an accusation, is not backed up by any evidence. For all we can guess, he was poisoned by his daughter, her boyfriend, or any number of other potential suspects. If UK has the evidence, let them produce it - that is rule number one in any investigation.

Russia has 1/4 of world's resources: arable land, water, forests, energy, minerals, etc... Australia is a less than half Russia's size and is 70-80% covered by unusable land (mostly deserts). It has also been slowly transforming demographically and given its exposed locations that will eventually overwhelm it. Australia has minimal tech competence, it relies on partners. Russia has technology and educated population: nukes, arms, planes, space vehicles,... Not something Australia could ever do.I think you write what you would like to be the case, not what is reality.
Russian economy is long-term competitive stagnant and comparable to Australia’s in size.
Just as the Brits, the Israelis and the Americans OK stuff like Skripal. Well, maybe not quite like Skripal, which Putin almost certainly did not OK, but lots of extrajudicial killings, wedding parties wiped out, IRA suspects shot in the back, etc.
Putin must have at least OKed stuff like Skirpal

THE SKRIPAL AFFAIR, by Richard Sakwa: http://valdaiclub.com/a/highlights/the-skripal-affair/
Excellent, as always.
“Rather than just the two possibilities outlined by Theresa May, in fact there are at least six, possibly seven. …
There is no doubt that the Skripal poisoning is a major incident that will resonate through history… The only question is whether the confrontation will dissipate, as it did over Agadir in 1911, or whether this is the Sarajevo slow-burning crisis that could explode into flame at some later point.”
—Sakwa quotes Alexei Gromyko, the Director of the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of Europe: “Those who say that this crime is in the interests of the Russian state, in my opinion, make fools of themselves. I have been specialising in British politics for 30 years and on many points I was a sympathiser of the British party-political system not to mention the country per se. But I should confess that in the past decade British politics and British politicians have been turning into something and somebody, that are very difficult to be inspired with even as objects of academic studies. I hope very much that before long the UK will get politicians whom it deserves’. Well, perhaps not entirely the last word: possibly we have got the politicians we deserve? What a dreadful thought.”

“Over 40 tonnes of toxic agents have been found in the areas liberated from militants… Damascus has officially confirmed its readiness to assist in any investigation into a chemical attack in Syria. However, international organizations have refused to cooperate with the Syrian government, practically conniving with terrorist organizations in their illegal activity. The Syrian Foreign Ministry pointed out that more than 40 tonnes of chemical warfare agents have been discovered on the territories liberated from terrorists …the international community prefers turning a blind eye to the real facts in which chemical weapons are used in Syria against the government troops and civilians...”
A simple question: Where is Julia Skripal, a citizen of Russain Federation, who was taken by the UK secret services and whisked away to some undisclosed location? There have been no photographs of either her father (British citizen) and Julia since the odd incident in a city of Salisbury that is a few miles away from the UK’s main lab of chemical weaponry research.

Alas on this side of the Atlantic the same, yesterday the EU decided on more action against Russia.
For the first time, as far as I can remember, our prime minister Rutte was asked a critical question that was broadcast.
The question was ‘is there now more evidence against Russia ?’.
Rutte: not necessary, May says it is highly likely.
So, no proof, no motive, but hostile action is justified.
There are those here who wonder why, as was shown at the referendum about what I call our Patriot Act, half the voters voted against, 50% of the population voted, we no longer trust our politicians.

Air does become radioactive; that's why Carbon-14 dating works, because we can measure the ratio of radioactive Carbon to normal Carbon. There are also several radioactive isotopes of Strontium and Cesium, which are still causing leukemia in children decades after all the atmospheric tests have ended. A global nuclear war would dwarf all the tests combined, not only in megatonnage but also in the number of regions that would be irradiated.
Air itself does not become radio active, it is the radio active dust that is the problem.

For starter,
How many knows that Obama, the son of Africa, went to the WH with a regime change feather already in his cap, ?
Obama’s Kenya caper…..
During the parliamentary elections of December 2007, a survey funded by USAID announces the victory of Odinga. On election day, John McCain announced that President Kibaki rigged the election in favor of his party and that in fact the opposition led by Odinga had won.
The NSA, in conjunction with local phone operators, sent anonymous text messages to the population.
In areas populated by the Luo (Odinga’s ethnic group), they read “Dear Kenyans, the Kikuyu have stolen our children’s future… We must treat them in the only way that they understand… with violence.”
In areas populated by Kikuyu, they read: “The blood of any innocent Kikuyu will be paid. We will slaughter them right to the heart of the capital. For Justice, establish a list of Luos that you know. We will send you the phone numbers to call with such information.”
Within days, this peaceful country sank into sectarian violence. The riots caused over 1 000 deaths and 300 000 displaced. 500 000 jobs were lost.
Madeleine Albright came back. She offered to mediate between President Kibaki and the opposition trying to overthrow him. With finesse, she stepped aside and placed in the spotlight the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights. The board of this respected NGO was newly chaired by the former Prime Minister of Norway, Thorbjørn Jagland.
Breaking with the Center’s traditional impartiality, he sent two mediators on site, whose expenses were entirely footed by Madeleine Albright’s NDI (that is to say ultimately out of the U.S. Department of State’s budget): another former Norwegian Prime Minister, Kjell Magne Bondevik, and former UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan (the Ghanaian is very much on the scene in Scandinavian states since he married the niece of Raoul Wallenberg). Compelled to accept the compromises forced on him in order to restore civil peace, President Kibaki agreed to create a prime minister post and to entrust it to Raila Odinga, who immediately began reducing trade with China.

If the ‘naturalised’ come they won’t be treated as EU citizens. And the sh..t will hit the fan. The ‘hostility’ doesn’t prevent people from coming – there has been plenty of hostility in the West. And they often cherish the anti-whitey situations, even try to escalate them. It is not sustainable, Western Europe is heading towards 15-20% Third World soon. In the east it is still under 0.2%. Who thought this would be a good idea to let all those millions in?

And the Ukraine made a massive mistake. Their situation is completely different to Poland after USSR fell.
Very true. Poland was the first Eastern European country which adopted neoliberal model and thus served to a certain extent as “photo model” of neoliberalism for the rest of Eastern Europe and xUSSR space. So standard of living did not drop too low. The country was somewhat supported by EU and by the USA.
Ukraine was royally raped economically in 1991-2000. Probably as bad as Russia, may be even worse.
In 2014 Ukrainians were lured by unrealistic dream of getting Western European standard of living as a gift for breaking with Russia. As well as the resentment toward kleptocrat Yanukovich (which actually was pretty typical neoliberal politician; not much worse then Poroshenko )
Now they start to understand that the EU will devour the corpse to the bones and they are stuck at the Central African level poverty of $2 a day or so (on average), but this is too late.
A very typical story, a very typical outcome. Neoliberalism is a cancer. As Russian prime minister quipped about economic rape of Russia by local and Western neoliberals in 1991-2000: “We strived to get the best [economic] outcome, but it turned out like we got even worse then average. As always.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Chernomyrdin )
So in a way they stepped on the same rake twice: once in 1991 and the second time in 2014. That’s unforgivable.
Bonkers Bolton. Trump just removed all doubt about who he is and what he’s about. Let’s see the Trumpeteers defend this move.

“The scandal around mass data harvesting by Cambridge Analytica took a new twist on Monday.
A Channel 4 news undercover investigation revealed that the company’s Eton-educated CEO Alexander Nix offered to use dirty tricks – including the use of bribery and sex workers – to entrap politicians and subvert elections. …
However, Cambridge Analytica is a mere offshoot of Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL Group) – an organisation with its roots deeply embedded within the British political, military and royal establishment. “For all intents and purposes, SCL/Cambridge Analytica are one and the same.” …
The organisation boasts that it has conducted “behavioral change programs” in over 60 countries and its clients have included the British Ministry of Defence, the US State Department and NATO. …
In May 2015, SCL Defense, another subsidiary of the umbrella organisation, received $1 million (CAD) to support NATO operations in Eastern Europe targeting Russia. The company delivered a three-month course in Riga which taught “advanced counter-propaganda techniques designed to help member states assess and counter Russia’s propaganda in Eastern Europe”. The NATO website said the “revolutionary” training would “help Ukrainians better defend themselves against the Russian threat”…
What is clear is that all of SCL’s activities were inextricably linked to its Cambridge Analytica arm. Mark Turnbull heads up SCL Elections as well as Cambridge Analytica Political Global. Turnbull previously spent 18 years at Bell Pottinger, heading up the Pentagon-funded PR drive in occupied Iraq which included the production of fake al-Qaeda videos.”

“On March 14, The Sun reported that “nearly 40 people had experienced symptoms related to the Salisbury nerve agent poisoning.” <The doctor rushed to deny the claim, stressing in his open letter that there have been only three patients with significant poisoning, namely Sergei and Yulia Skripal and Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey.
"Several people have attended the emergency department concerned that they may have been exposed. None had symptoms of poisoning and none has needed treatment. Any blood tests performed have shown no abnormality. No member of the public has been contaminated by the agent involved,” Davies’ letter reads…
Hamish de Bretton-Gordon claimed [lied] in an interview to The Guardian that the Russian city of Shikhany “was the sole location for development and production” of the A-234 nerve agent. … a 1999 report by The New York Times revealed that the US took part in an effort t”o decontaminate the Chemical Research Institute in Nukus, Uzbekistan. “the Nukus plant was a major research and testing site for a new class of secret, highly lethal chemical weapons,” A-234.”

Samples:
1. Why have there been no updates on the condition of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in the public domain since the first week of the investigation? …
5. It has been said that the Skripals and Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey were poisoned by “a military grade nerve agent.” According to some claims, the type referred to could be anywhere between five and eight times more toxic than VX nerve agent. Given that just 10mg of VX is reckoned to be the median lethal dose, it seems likely that the particular type mentioned in the Skripal case should have killed them instantly. Is there an explanation as to how or why this did not happen? …
13. How is it possible for a state (or indeed any person or entity) that has been accused of something, to defend themselves against an accusation if they are refused access to evidence that apparently points to their guilt? …
19. On the Andrew Marr Show on 18th March, the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, stated the following: “And I might just say in response to Mr Chizhov’s point about Russian stockpiles of chemical weapons. We actually had evidence within the last ten years that Russia has not only been investigating the delivery of nerve agents for the purposes of assassination, but it has also been creating and stockpiling Novichok.”
Where has this intelligence come from and has it been properly verified?
20. If this intelligence was known before 27th September 2017 – the date that the OPCW issued a statement declaring the completion of the destruction of all 39,967 metric tons of chemical weapons possessed by the Russian Federation – why did Britain not inform the OPCW of its own intelligence which apparently contradicts this claim, which they would have had a legal obligation to do?… ”

Bad news: Trump just picked John Bolton to be the new National Security Advisor.
He’s gotten some of the very big questions right through the years: 9/11, the Syrian War, Russian intervention in Syria. Of course, like anybody else in the business, he’s occasionally made some predictions that have failed to materialize, and often advanced some contentions that are hard to prove one way or the other. But the important thing is that he’s an independent thinker who relies on his own reasoning, evidence and sources. He’s not just some hack sitting in a newsroom somewhere copying everybody else. He’s very pro-Syrian and pro-Iranian (I believe he’s Iranian by descent, if I’m not mistaken), but he’s very open about his bias, so you can judge for yourself. He runs the voltairenet.org website. Take a look …
I’m still catching up on this thread, so I don’t know if anyone else has brought up the following point. But just in case no one has yet, …
The Skripal poisoning is clearly a false flag, probably committed by the Brits themselves, as Russia obviously has nothing to gain by it. Maybe London’s being so loud about it because they are trying to drown out the fact that the UK is taking natural gas from Russia, after all the anti-Russian hatred pouring from Fleet Street. The embarrassment for the Brits — or at least some faction of the British — must be extremely acute.
Merkel is a puppet. She has history of socialism. And continues to ally with Socialists.
Merkels faction CDU is more liberal
than Seehofer who probably belongs to Bavarian group.
Merkels faction has always pressured Bavarian Christian. For decades.
Just read on F. Strauss and what happened.
Interesting detail about illegal British war propaganda in breach of ICCPR Article 20. Of particular note is the report of Pompeo’s role in the blame game for the failed provocation.
Ultimately, Britain is not a factor in foreign affairs. Having withdrawn from the EU, they’ve vanished up the USA’s asshole. The US controls their Fisher-Price nuclear deterrent and their increasingly atavistic veto.
The determining geopolitical factor is Russia’s missile announcement. It re-established MAD, but that’s not all. It also created a capability for proportional response to the entire range of US force that effectively counters all US use and threat of force. There’s no more game of chicken. Russia can discipline the US with localized humiliation and global rout without recourse to mutual destruction.
The Russian program of coercion to peace is already taking effect:
In these talks, Russia is in a position to impose not just nuclear disarmament but demilitarization. They’ve turned the clock back to the Eisenhower/Herter peace plan. That is a very good thing.

As always." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Chernomyrdin )So in a way they stepped on the same rake twice: once in 1991 and the second time in 2014. That's unforgivable.
And the Ukraine made a massive mistake. Their situation is completely different to Poland after USSR fell.
More like the author of this post has been through your sock drawer, found your hash stash, and smoked it all up. A BBC journalist went to the main Russian WW2 museum and to his astonishment he foundalong with a heroic picture montage, e the theme to 80’s US TV series Dallas was played! The Spetznaz badge is the Batman-logo! Russians have the most fantastical ideas a la Rodion Raskolnikov.
We do not know the result of this internal enquiry, but President Trump acquired the conviction that his Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, was implicated. The Secretary of State was immediately asked to interrupt his official journey in Africa and return to Washington.
The idea that Rex Tillerson decided to work with CIA handlers of head choppers against Pentagon to facilitate some false flag operation involving poison gas is somewhat questionable.
As disgusting neocon stooge as Tillerson was at his position, he is no Hillary Clinton.
Moreover, the alliance of Tillerson and Mattis in Trump WH is pretty well known. And they are also personal friends. So either Mattis was supportive ( or even a part of this false flag operation), or Thierry Meyssan is dead wrong.
Backstabbing Mattis would be rather strange behavior for Tillerson.
The other implied statement by Thierry Meyssan is that Pompeo was not informed about this operation and all those things were accomplished behind his back. Which is also not very probably, to say the least. I doubt that the State Department has its own special operation forces.
And if Pompeo was implicated, then how Trump can chose him as the successor of Tillerson.
Those considerations make the whole article rather questionable and highly speculative.
Yes, and I see that you’ve escaped the sock drawer once more.
Ancient Larouchie conspiracy theory about the Queen of England escapes from the laughing academy to haunt the net.
A comment from Randal on another thread that gets to the point:
The only suggestions that the Russians were responsible for the incident come from exactly the same kinds of people who told us about Iraq’s WMD and the supposed Libyan humanitarian emergency. And yes, about supposed suicidal Syrian government uses of chemical weapons that are conveniently just big enough to provide their enemies with yet another big stick to beat them with, but not enough to give them any material advantage.
And there’s the additional evidence that some kind of False Flag attempt fell apart at Eastern Ghouta + Trump’s discovery that the Deep State was planning to take him by surprise (the immediate dismissal of Tillerson).
Now go back and read the article and then re-assess what A436 said, Wally.
It doesn’t make him sound like a person who is well placed to make the claims to knowledge he has about what went on in England.
He’s talking about whether Thierry Meyssan would really have access to the people and information that could confirm this story of conspiracy and its uncovering.
The British government and certain of its allies, including US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, have attempted to launch a Cold War against Russia.
Their plan was to fabricate an attack against an ex-double agent in Salisbury and at the same time a chemical attack against the « moderate rebels » in the Ghouta. The conspirators’ intention was to profit from the efforts of Syria to liberate the suburbs of its capital city and the disorganisation of Russia on the occasion of its Presidential election. Had these manipulations worked, the United Kingdom would have pushed the USA to bomb Damascus, including the Presidential palace, and demand that the United Nations General Assembly exclude Russia from the Security Council.
However, the Syrian and Russian Intelligence Services got wind of what was being plotted. They realised that the US agents in the Ghouta who were preparing an attack against the Ghouta were not working for the Pentagon, but for another US agency.
In Damascus, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, Fayçal Miqdad, set up an emergency Press conference for 10 March, in order to alert his fellow citizens. From its own side, Moscow had first of all tried to contact Washington via the diplomatic channels. But aware that the US ambassador, Jon Huntsman Jr, is the director of Caterpillar, the company which had supplied tunneling materials to the jihadists so that they could build their fortifications, Moscow decided to bypass the usual diplomatic channels.
No, you don’t need to be IN England. But you do need to have at least a small record of qualifications and credibility to get readers to move past those first paragraphs which look like the script of a movie starring Jennifer Lawrence as an FSB triple-agent.
A very important piece of information that connects Skripal affair with the UK chemical warfare in Syria. http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/2018/03/open-thread-23-march-2018.html#comments
Comment section (22):
“…here is (at least) one connecting element between the “moderate Takfiris” in Syria and the Skripal incident…
Colonel (rtd) Hamish de Bretton-Gordon “is a former assistant director of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Land Forces with the Ministry of Defence. Before that de Bretton-Gordon was commanding officer of Britain’s Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Regiment and Nato’s Rapid Reaction CBRN Battalion.”
He is a Tory, anti-Russian and the British press quotes him every day. He is essentially building the story.
He was/is deeply involved in training the Takfiris in Syria in chemical warfare. Alleged evidence of Syrian chemical weapons was “smuggled out” with his help and he had it analyzed with the wished for result. He co-founded “Doctors Under Fire” which works along the White Helmets scam which was founded by another British military intelligence officer.
De Bretton-Gordon is also managing director CBRN of Avon Protection Systems, based in Melksham, Wiltshire and is making millions from selling CBRN equipment to the Pentagon and the British forces. (I bet that the gas masks the Takfiris have and the CBRN equipment the White Helmets show off come from this source.)
If there was coordination in staging a chemical attack in Salisbury (right next door to Porton Down to which de Bretton-Gordon surely still has the keys) and in Ghouta it will have been this man.”

Is that your best shot?
One doesn’t need to be IN England to make assessments of England’s actions.
He's talking about whether Thierry Meyssan would really have access to the people and information that could confirm this story of conspiracy and its uncovering.
It doesn’t make him sound like a person who is well placed to make the claims to knowledge he has about what went on in England.

Was it an impeachment, then ?
“Coup d’état (or Coup): the sudden, violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group.” Encyclopaedia Britannica
Does that all depend on the premise that the 9/11 attacks were not an Al Qaeda operation? Tes or No will do thank you.
” Looks like the west lost its mind. ”
Rothschild, Bilderberg, is not the west, nor is AIPAC and AEI.
However, former Shell CEO Van der Veer is chairman of a NATO strategic advisory committee.
Please, read the informed American analysts before taking a stance of the innocent lady that doth protest too much.
The main Brussels’ battle cry is ‘populism’.
In my opinion, populism is simply opposing political mainstream.
But this mainstream is disintegrating, Hollande abolished the French socialist party, Parti Socialiste.
In Germany Schulz, former EU top man, SPD member, the Socialist Party Germany, even had to step down as chairman in order to make SPD members agree with the SPD coalition with Merkel’s CDU.
Schulz obviously left his overpaid Brussels job in order to become chancellor.
But also Merkel policies are breaking down.
Her minister of the Interior, police, border control, immigration, naturalisation, granting asylum, Seehofer, states that he will reinstate border controls, as the EU does nothing.
Polls show that 76% of Germans agree with him.
What most Germans do not know is that oral instructions were given in Merkel’s former chancellor period to customs and border police, not to stop any immigrant at the borders.
Merkel and Seehofer now disagree on Islam, Merkel ‘the Islam belongs to Germany’, Seehofer ‘the Islam is in Germany’.
But in how far the German people and culture can be saved in the long run one wonders.
Demographic calsulations show that with present differences in birth rates in 30 to 40 years time 30 to 40% of the Germans will be Muslims.
As Merkel said ‘they’re here already’.
What Merkel’s objectives are or were, she if often compared to the sfinx.
In any case Mutti, mom, cannot last much longer.
E European countries reject Muslim immigrants.
However, after the Muslim immigrants have been naturalised, under present EU rules, they can settle anywhere in the EU, so the eastern countries cannot keep them away.
If they want to settle in hostile communities is the question.
That's the crux of the matter. It is coming, it is unsolvable and it will possibly break up EU. A few years back there wasn't today's level of polarisation. After 2015 Merkel march, the issue has become very visible. I don't see how the attitudes in the east could change. Any attempt to move Third Worlders there will trigger a political crisis.
under present EU rules, naturalised migrants can settle anywhere in the EU, so the eastern countries cannot keep them away. If they want to settle in hostile communities ...
Thank you for the information. It doesn’t make him sound like a person who is well placed to make the claims to knowledge he has about what went on in England.
Well I felt so unattracted by what I had read that I thought it would be helpful to see if any of the UR Commenters who can make sense would give an assessment.
Of course it was a coup, though not a South American style with colonels in charge. It was brought about in the first instance by American meddling, with the obligatory tidal wave of cash in the cover of so called Orange Revolutions and aided by the neo-Nazi faction among the Ukrainians. However fragile there was a constitutional order in the Ukraine, which held the Ukrainian and Russian speaking peoples of the Ukraine together. But the Westerners held the carrots of a Western lifestyle, which the Russians could not match. The bloodshed in that part of the world was instigated by the usual cabal of troublemakers. Putin was inclined to see the Ukrainians more as misguided Russians rather than anything else.
There is structural Globalist government and all participants as Theresa May are only puppets.
All western leaderships are only participants. So far only Trump is the one who is resisting.
The orders are coming from Rothschild. He ordered now that Russia must be destroyed or at least neutralized. I am convinced that Russia’s government is fully aware of what is going on.
Just a while ago Russia commissioned three nuclear armed submarines.
Not long time ago Putin ordered nuclear drill over all country.
I would guess that Russia already a while ago is on war preparation mode.
Looks like the west lost its mind.
Concerning economy Britain is in trouble. French were strongly opposing Britain to join EU.
That was because England is the main competitor for French food exports.
One thing from this will be good. Barb be qui season is coming and beef will be now cheep.
That article over at Edmonson’s place is a piece of junk. There was no “coup” in Ukraine. That was simply Putinist propaganda.
Having said that, I don’t know that is possible to determine what agent was used to poison the Skripals.
