9/11 - the gift that just keeps on giving

.. 'democratic' free speech ...

  .. one can say whatever one likes ...

    .. just as long as one is quite ineffective

Thesis/Subtitle: once again in Syria we see ...

Concomitant: a crime in progress ...

Corollary: well, cui bono?

Musing: I Heard it through the grapevine: There will be war, another one, illegal like the rest since end WW2, a war of aggression vs. the sovereign state of Syria. Big bloody deal - how many innocents did you already kill in your filthy wars, USA + accessories, and how many more, before you are finally brought to justice?

We know there will be a war; a) we now have the message from the aggressor-in-chief via the corrupt&venal MSM, echoed in the PFCBs, and b) it's just another iteration of one of the US rogue-regime's criminal modi operandi.

We know that we (the people, or we the anti-wars) cannot stop this war; since we've been here before (the disgusting "Shock'n whoring" of Iraq), and we couldn't stop that one, so this time there are fewer even trying.

We also know that those whose job it is (UN, human rights NGOs etc.) will not stop this war - in fact, many-such are helping the criminal aggressors. Off to gaol with the accessory-lot!

We also suspect that those who stand to lose, beyond us, we the people, countries like Russia or China, will not stop the US, F+UK/NATO, plus other SQSHsO-regimes from smashing Syria (most likely due to intimidation - by what threats, we wonder?) The attackers have neither (good) morals nor effective restraint.

Why and by whom are such travesties allowed?

Poor hapless, innocent Syrians, just like the Iraqis, all the way back to the Palestinians.

End musing.

Trigger article:

Kevin Rudd heads to Canberra for briefings on alleged Syrian chemical weapons attack
 By Rosanna Ryan and wires
 Updated August 24, 2013 14:25:16
  «Mr Rudd had been scheduled to return to Brisbane but changed his plans following conversations this morning with the US ambassador to Australia and the secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.
"As a result of those discussions ... later today I will go to Canberra and be briefed by our national security officials on unfolding developments and work with officials on any possible and appropriate Australian response, depending on the nature of the brief concerned," he said.
"We are still establishing the facts. We have, together with the US, grave concerns as to what has occurred here.
"But [we need to] establish all facts first in a calm and considered way respond as appropriate."
He says he has requested the Prime Minister's Department make equal national security official briefings available to Opposition Leader Tony Abbott.» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: Although some write "alleged" (headline), in snip "still establishing the facts," since this incident was first reported, the 'slant' has always been pointed at Assad and/or Syrian govt. troops.

Comment 2: Notice that Rudd is diverting for a 'face to face' briefing, and offers same to Abbott. It means that no matter what, both Lab and Lib are 'on the same page' = bipartisan = un- & anti-democratic (voters offered zero effective choice).

Comment 3: The unspoken narrative is a) Assad is guilty and b) US, F+UK/NATO, plus other SQSHsO-regimes are now committed to smashing Syria.

Comment 4: It's yet another blatant crime, and UN&Co are assisting.

-=*=-

Argument: We know - or should know, that we are being propagandised, and that it's standard practice. Occasionally, the propaganda contains something like "We need to smash such&such regime, to keep our cars in fuel." Of course that's rubbish - the oil producers must sell no matter what - but most people suck it up anyway: "The govt. says so; why should we worry?"

Although what we see is Rudd and Abbott, they are puppets: "following conversations this morning with the US ambassador to Australia ..."

Consider again Bernays: "Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."

Q: Where would one look, for such "an invisible government?"

A: The forces behind the recent smashing of the Guardian's hard drives, or confiscation of Miranda's thumb-drives would give us strong clues.

-=*=-

Fazit: Where the hell is any effective countervailing force?

Obama Aides See Kosovo as Precedent for Attacking Syria
Disastrous Kosovo Bombing Campaign Also Ignored UN Opposition
by Jason Ditz, August 23, 2013
  «Officials across NATO have been long trying to put together a war in Syria that would mirror the NATO attack on Libya, in which regime change was imposed after a loophole in a UN Security Council resolution was used as an excuse for total war.» 
[antiwar/Ditz]

Comment: As usual, one should read the lot.

Extending article 2:

Obama Maintains Pretense of Opposing Syria War as Military Readies Strikes
Hagel Confirms Obama Requested Options for Attack
by Jason Ditz, August 23, 2013
  «In an interview with CNN today, President Obama sought to stake out an opposition to war against Syria, even as he has privately ordered the military to draw up additional options for an attack that could be launched at a moment’s notice.» 
[antiwar/Ditz]

Comment: Looks like Obama wants to say that he was pushed into war. Who would believe that?

Extending article 3:

No Proof, But Western Officials Convinced of Syria ‘Chemical Attack’
Rebels Agree to Let Investigators Into Site
by Jason Ditz, August 23, 2013
  «There’s still no real proof and UN inspectors haven’t even gotten to the site, but Western officials say they have “little or no doubt” that Wednesday’s Ghouta incident was a chemical weapons attack.» 
[antiwar/Ditz]

Comment: Evidence? Who needs evidence, when 'the fix is in?'

Extending article 4:

Pentagon Preps Cruise Missiles to Attack Syria
Obama Insists 'No Rush' on Launching Attack
by Jason Ditz, August 23, 2013
  «Officials continue hyping Wednesday’s allegations of a chemical weapons strike, saying that they believe such an attack probably happened even though they don’t have any actual proof to back that up. Conveniently enough, the Pentagon has new plans for attacking Syria.» 
[antiwar/Ditz]

Comment 1: Nobody gives a rat's; it's all war, all the time.

Comment 2: In case the significance of "9/11" in my title is at all queried, the US used 9/11 to go totally berserk.

Comment 3: Any who do nothing to stop a crime make themselves party guilty too. You?

^ Update, 16:11; PPS

In case of any lingering doubt; an extract from a recent eml:

"Care to discuss any false-flag poison-gas massacres, 1300+ dead? US/Zs, F+UK/NATO about to obliterate yet another A/M failing-under-US/Z-pressure state, smashing their infrastructure & killing squillions of innocent collaterals, all grovellingly approved by the corrupt & venal Ban Ki-moon UN + so-called 'human-rights' NGOs&Co?"

Assad would have to be certifiably suicidal to deploy C-weapons.

Sheer idiocy, for the Syrian govt., to even think about it.

So a) why do the propagandists attempt it and b) (worse), why don't the people simply burst out laughing?

Q: Are sooo many totally ppp-dd'd?

A: Apparently so - sooo sad.
