The US government’s depravity in regards to its rhetoric and actions in Syria have reached Hitlerian levels.
Only a damn liar or a damn fool would think that the Syrian government is responsible for launching a chemical attack, which would pave the way for foreign intervention.
It shows how much contempt the US regime has for their own citizens and the entire world when it makes false and absurd accusations such as these.
No intelligent, fair-minded and conscientious person believes the false and dangerous accusations coming out of the US regime officials and their allies’ mouths about Syrian responsibility for a chemical attack that goes against Syria’s interests.
These chemical attacks were launched by the rebels, with US/western and possibly Zionist aid, and falsely blamed on the Syrian government-without proof, of course.
The incompetent western-sponsored militants have failed in their objectives and are suffering great losses at the hands of the Syrian military forces. Their backs are now against the wall and they smell defeat. All the weapons they have been given by the west and Arab sheikhdoms have achieved nothing. Therefore, they staged chemical attacks in collusion with the US, and other foreign governments, who want to overthrown the Syrian government.
Earlier today, US Secretary of State, John Kerry, called the Syrian government “depraved” and accused them of launching the chemical attack.
What is depraved is the US support for Al Qaeda-linked militants in Syria who bomb, murder, decapitate, eat organs of dead Syrian soldiers and destroy churches and mosques, while the US government issues “terror alerts” and claiming to fight Al Qaeda somewhere else.
What is depraved is the US and its allies launching this latest false-flag chemical attack and then falsely blaming it on the Syrian government which is fighting Al Qaeda-linked terror squads.
What is depraved is US/western support of terror against the Syrian population and claiming to be helping them.
What is depraved is the US allying itself with some of the most undemocratic, despotic and despicable regimes on earth, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain in order to bring “democracy and freedom” to Syria.
What is depraved is the US threatening to send missiles and bombs over Syria which will end up killing civilians and then saying that it is saving lives.
What is depraved is how the rest of the world just stands by and allows itself to be lied into another atrocity by the evil US Empire and does nothing, even after what was done to Iraq and Libya.
On the Iranian Press TV website, I found this interesting quote from a US regime official, Rep. Eliot Engel (NY), who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee:
“The world is a better place when the United States takes leadership; this is time for us to do this. I hope we’ll do it soon.”
What kind of a demented, deluded and sick creature do you have to be to say something like this? What kind of a La-La Land has this piece-of-shit congress-critter been living in for the past thirteen years?
The truth is that the world is a MUCH WORSE place because of US “leadership.” Look at Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. All these places today are hell-holes of violence and perpetual instability thanks to US involvement.
The US does not give a crap about the Libyan, Iraqi, and Syrian, Afghan or the Iranian people. It does not care about freedom or democracy or human rights.
The proof is on display every day in these countries mentioned above. These places have been shattered by the US and its buffoonish homicidal allies.
The US only cares about its own selfish economic and strategic interests and about keeping the despicable zionist mafia-state on top in the region.
This terrible US record of failures to bring any sense of stability to these countries through military interventions is not a mistake. These interventions are meant to break these countries down and keep them in a perpetual state of chaos and violence. This way the people living in these countries are forced to constantly worry about security and keeping themselves from getting killed every day and really nothing else.
By keeping these nations in a constant state of unrest, there is no time for their citizens and governments to normalize and progress forward and learn to be self-sufficient. It also keeps these countries dependent on US/western “protection” and “aid.”
This is what the US wants: to break the Arab countries by inciting sectarian violence and fake “uprisings” by its proxy forces so that these countries stay weak and divided and unable to pick themselves up, unite, and free themselves from foreign meddling, control and dependence.
The US will NOT bring Syria any freedom or democracy. It will bring them more of the same misery as it brought the Iraqis, Libyans and Afghans.
Bombing people to death in the name of human rights is the cruelest act of hypocrisy one can engage in. People who offer such rationalizations are depraved monsters, unworthy of any attention or respect or loyalty whatsoever. Mr. Kerry, Mr. Obama and their foreign poodles are just such monsters.
The war-criminal Obama and his handlers think that they are the masters of the world.
Only deranged psychopaths want to control the world and think that everyone must go along with them. In fact, obsession with control and obedience is a sign of psychopathy.
But Mr. Obummer and his handlers have serious psychological issues. They are a danger to the world, not Assad or any leader of Iran.
Obummer and his ilk should not control anyone or anything beyond the confines of their homes because clearly they damage whatever they touch, and seriously so.
The US government is the single biggest threat to world peace and stability. This is not mere opinion, as polls done throughout the world put the US and Israel in the top spots when it comes to who the biggest threat to peace is, while countries like Iran and North Korea are at the very bottom. Look it up.
But there is one observable fact that cannot be disputed: Every country the US tries to “help” ends up turning into shit.

Another Western War Crime
Recently, the western-sponsored militant terror squads launched a chemical attack upon a part of Damascus.
Right away, the US and western media and government propaganda assigned the blame on Syrian forces. There are calls from the UK FM and rabid war criminal William Hague as well as his French counterparts for immediate intervention.
Let’s remember that the rebels and their foreign benefactors have been whipping up fears of a Syrian government-ordered chemical attack for two years now. The militants also threatened to use chemical weapons in the field, before the first bombs ever went off.
Videos of rebels conducting experiments on animals with nerve gas have surfaced on the internet before the attacks started.
Also, in the spring of 2013, after the first cases of chemical attacks were reported, a UN investigation committee concluded that the gas was most likely launched by the militants fighting the government of Syria. Not surprisingly, the US, UK, France and their henchmen refused to acknowledge this fact and blamed the attacks on the Syrian government.
All the chemical attacks launched in Syria thus far, including the latest one, were committed by the militants, who immediately blamed the Syrian government of ordering the attack. Their aim, as with past chemical weapon attacks, is to cause international outrage which leads to foreign military intervention.
The Syrian government is clearly being setup, and these are the reasons why the Syrian government did not, and would not, use chemical weapons in the field.
1. By ordering the use of chemical weapons, the Syrian government would be shooting themselves in the foot. They know that using chemical weapons would serve as an excuse for armed intervention by the US and its accomplices, leading to regime change, exactly what the rebels and their western sponsors want.
2. The latest chemical attack comes right after UN investigators arrived in Syria, at the invitation of the Syrian government, to investigate the chemical attacks and who was behind them. If the Syrian government and military were to blame, they would certainly not invite anyone to investigate anything. The timing is very suspicious, and meant to embarrass and demonize the Syrian government.
3. The Syrian military has been making significant gains against the militants using conventional means, and using chemical weapons is unnecessary, strategically and technically.
4. Undoubtedly, the Syrians were put on-notice by Russia a while back about the use of chemical weapons and know that Russia will cut off all aid and support if Syria uses these weapons.
5. Iran, an ally of Syria, suffered under chemical attacks launched by Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war in the nineteen-eighties. Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons would be in very bad taste, and would most likely make the Iranians rethink any further support for Syria.
The western-sponsored terror squads in Syria have not been able to make a dent in their fight to remove Assad. They have been suffering setbacks and significant losses at the hands of the Syrian military.
In their desperation to stop further losses or a compete defeat, they decided to take the insane and criminal move to use chemical weapons on anyone, civilian or otherwise.
The latest chemical attack also came during heavy fighting between Syrian forces and the militants, who may have used the chaos to launch a chemical weapon since it would look like Syrian forces launched it.
Of course, the UN has called for investigations of the chemical attacks and access to all areas affected. Right on cue, the rebels refused to cooperate with the investigation while the Syrian government offered all assistance.
Now, from past and present evidence and actions, which side looks guiltier? Who stands to lose and who stands to win by launching chemical attacks? The Syrian government, who is defending the country and trying to preserve itself while making sure not to give any foreign thug an excuse for intervention, or the militants who want to see the current Syrian government overthrown with foreign help and are desperate enough to try any tactic to do so?
This chemical attack was either committed by the rebels who were trained by western personnel on how to handle chemical weapons, and indeed there has been such training according to news reports. Or this attack may have been staged by CIA/Mossad or some other western spook agency.
Hopefully the UN investigations will not degenerate into clandestine operations infested with CIA and western intelligence agents who will seek to use the inspections process for subterfuge and planting fake evidence, just like in Iraq.
If, and when, the UN starts asking for access to Syrian military bases and sensitive government buildings, we will know the name of the game.
Russia needs to keep an eye on all this and ensure that the UN inspectors do their job and not go on errands for US and western governments which end in another illegal war of aggression.
There is hope that after the Iraq and Libya debacles, this will not be allowed to happen.
See this.

Shooting the Messengers
It’s over. It’s done. That’s it. The party is over.
If anyone had any doubt whatsoever that the US regime and its paranoid and schizophrenic state security apparatus have lost their minds, this should no longer be a question after the utterly disgusting way in which they have dealt with Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden.
These two brave men blew the lid off the secret and vicious world of US government deceitfulness and criminality.
From exposing US military atrocities in Iraq, diplomatic backstabbing and secret but illegal eavesdropping by the NSA on millions of people inside and outside the US, these two individuals have exposed the the ugly reality of US behavior which was hidden underneath a carefully-crafted mask of benevolence.
What Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden gave us is the most rank hypocrisy and deceit ever exposed. From covered up war crimes committed by the US in Iraq, to embarrassing and mean-spirited and two-faced diplomatic intrigues to mass-surveillance of peoples’ digital lives. It also exposed a shameless and bat-shit crazy US government so devious and arrogant that they even spied on foreign heads of state during international conferences.
These three individuals have done more damage to US credibility than all the Al Qaedas and terrorists out there could never do. And the punch line is that they did nothing more than tell the truth.
That’s the bottom line about all these revelations: They are the plain albeit ugly truth about how comical and farcical the US regime and its policies have become.
While America’s vassal state governments in the EU have been whining about the fact that they have been spied on by the NSA, they brought all this upon themselves by getting too cozy with US intelligence and military apparatus over the decades. Any such cooperation should have been nixed after 1991 and Europe should have never looked back.
And these dumbasses are allowing the NSA to build huge monitoring centers right on European soil! Are these EU governments bi-polar or something? They are only inviting even more abuses.
Of course, the US government spin machine, together with the pathetic mass-media in this country, have gone into full-on and relentless damage control. They have tried to desperately justify these eavesdropping programs by insisting that they stopped some terrorist attacks (without providing evidence, of course, because its secret) and have also tried to deflect attention from the obvious US government wrong-doing by demonizing and slandering Edward Snowden and by calling him a traitor and a thief. They have also issued threats against any country which tries to give him refuge.
Now let’s reverse the situation.
If a Russian intelligence analyst fled to Canada seeking asylum, with laptops full of classified Russian intelligence, Canada would grant it to him immediately and the US, as well as all the US vassal states in the EU, would do so as well.
None of these countries would have any second thoughts or be worried about "ruining relations with Russia" by giving him asylum and protection regardless of what Russia says. Plus, the US would demonize Russia incessantly day and night for trying to demand the return of the leaker and for doing anything to block him from traveling. For doing so, Russia would be constantly slandered by the US government and the worthless US media as an undemocratic country which still behaves like a Stalinist dictatorship.
There would be no end to it. Pathetic cretins like Senator “Insane” McCain, LOUSY Graham as well as pro-US/Israel talking shitheads like Alan Dershowitz, Charles Krauthammer and other neo-con subhuman filth would go into spastic orgasms trying to vilify anything Russian.
If Russia dared to threaten any country with sanctions or violence for sheltering a Russian dissident, it would be pilloried and embarrassed at the UN and internationally isolated.
Such is the hypocrisy that rules the day in the good ole’ US of A.
Russia has recently granted Ed Snowden temporary 1-year asylum. This decision has got the US regime fuming. From the start they have embarrassed themselves and served as their own worst enemies by engaging in public temper-tantrums and foot-stomping whining worthy of a petulant and spoiled child who did not get that second scoop of ice cream at the state fair.
Ever since, US State Dept. and assorted congress clowns have been wagging their fingers at Russia and threatening it with “consequences” and some possible sanctions. They also attempted to have US Attorney General Eric Holder try to play the proverbial good cop by writing a letter to the Russian government promising not to torture Edward Snowden if Russia extradites him and that he will get a fair trial.
Yeah. They won’t torture him.
Just like they didn’t hold Bradley Manning in solitary confinement for two years under degrading conditions and try to force him to falsely implicate Julian Assange and make him into some sort of Al Qaeda’s PR guy (unlike those US government officials who as I write this propagandize and support Al Qaeda-linked rebels with money, training and weapons in Syria); and just like they did not keep Jose Padilla in solitary confinement and under psychological torment for years, and just like they did not set Assange up with false rape charges to force him out so he can be extradited, for committing no crime against the US!
I think that the main reason for the anti-Russian whining coming out of US government officials mouths is that it is bad PR for the US that Edward Snowden chose Russia as a refuge. Doing so makes Russia look good. It invalidates years of US propaganda that Russia is a country lacking democracy and human rights and ran by a dictatorial regime which does not care about international law.
But the US has unwittingly applied those anti-Russian stereotypes to itself by its abhorrent behavior towards Edward Snowden and other whistleblowers.
If there is only one lesson to be learned from all these intelligence leaks, it is that American promises are worth their weight in used toilet paper.
But at least Mr. US Attorney General admitted that the US tortures people, or else he would have not made this promise regarding Edward Snowden.
Russia did the right and honorable thing by sheltering Snowden and Russian officials from President Putin on down need to stop with ridiculous self-doubt and self-recrimination. It is a waste of time and only clouds good sense and judgment they have. It is the US that deserves to feel embarrassed.
And this brings us to the most important point of all.
The bad guy in this entire Edward Snowden affair is not Edward Snowden. The bad guy is the US government.
The US government illegally eavesdropped, and continues to eaves drop, on electronic and voice communications of millions of people worldwide, including the US.
Edward Snowden did not decide on his own volition to use his abilities to “hack” peoples’ computers and phones and then took that information. The US government ordered him, and many others like him, to do this.
Edward Snowden exposed government wrong-doing; he did not initiate it.
So therefore, it is the US government that is the guilty culprit, and it must be the target of people’ ire and condemnation, not the messenger who told the world the truth and exposed a horrible wrong.
Anyone who tries to defend this blatantly illegal US government eavesdropping, and criticizes the whistleblowers who bring this illegality into public light, is a fascist whore with less than zero percent credibility. They are nut cases who should be kept from any and all positions of authority anywhere.
People who punish and torment whistleblowers in the US, from Obama on down, are shaming themselves and every person who lives here. They are also shaming and contradicting the constitution they swore to uphold, but which they violate by engaging in this mass-surveillance.
The amount of vitriol, hatred and primeval thirst for revenge Obama and other officials of the current US regime have shown for whistleblowers and truth-tellers like Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden would make the most hardened Stalinist cringe.
It’s one thing to torment truth-tellers in your own land, but when a country becomes so arrogant and spiteful that it demands and threatens other nations for refusing to hand over someone in their custody, orders them to ground planes of foreign heads of state based on mere suspicion that the plane may be carrying a dissident, forcing people to be holed up in embassies indefinitely for fear of being arrested and tapping the phones and computers of millions of people, that is just a sign of unaddressed major psychological problems, deep insecurities and overwhelming but hidden guilt.
The US government has gotten so used to breaking the law during the last thirteen plus years that it now automatically expects other countries to disregard their laws to accommodate US demands, no matter how disgusting and illegal these demands are.
To the US, the only law that exists and matters is that others must do what the US wants. Those foreign governments who do not are breaking the law in the eyes of the imperial US government.
Whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, Bradley Manning and Julian Assange are heroes. They have sacrificed their freedoms so everyone knows the facts. For this they deserve the gratitude of every decent and civilized person on this earth. These three individuals are also political prisoners of the west.
But I have a feeling that more interesting things will come to light in the coming years about US criminal behavior as more whistleblowers will be inspired to come forward, as the US state collapses under the full weight of its hypocrisy and contradictions and economic, political, military and diplomatic failures.
This Snowden affair has left the US regime with a whole carton’s worth of eggs on their face.
The only weapons of diplomacy the US now has left in its arsenal are bribery, threats of violence and violence.
It is now going to be harder for the US to get anything from other nations because the credibility of the US, and the trust in it, has been shattered. This may force the US ruling establishment to back off, if just a bit.
Even the worst tyrant is not invincible.
