consider "lies, damned lies, and statistics" vs. MSM+PFBCs

«The United Nations high commissioner for human rights Navi Pillay this month put the latest death toll for the two-year conflict at "approaching 70,000" - but the relentless reports of atrocities in Aleppo and the suburbs of Damascus have done nothing to move western governments to intervene in the conflict.»

2. [AusBC]: "Human Rights Watch concludes Syrian regime behind chemical attacks despite Assad denials"

«You were not there. How can you talk about what happened if you don't have evidence?»

The latter statement is from Bashar al-Assad.

Comments:

1. Note that Ben Knight appears to do work for both DW and AusBC (Q: So what? A: IMHO, Knight is a 'journeyman propagandist,' and one of the prime skills of a propagandist is attempting to pass off lies as truth - warning!)

2. Both UNHCHR and HRW appear to be working on supporting the proposed smashing of Syria by a) 'rebels' and b) US tomahawk assaults. Pillay played an important role in the smashing of Libya; she can hardly be taken seriously. Since despite tries by the US, F+UK,D (all probably based on the same set of Z-lies, but UK rejected their 'briefing'), even the US rogue regime admits that *no* smoking-gun has been found - proof = *no* tomahawk assault; HRW is highly unlikely to have any proper proof either, it looks like yet another propagandist trying to pass off lies as truth.

3. The DW item contradicts reports that the CIA has been 'assisting' arms and mercenary entry into Syria through Turkey and Jordan, so IF Obama is blocking help for Syrian rebels THEN he's not very effective? Now, the CIA is revving-up its arms-injections].

«If there was a rogue general that did it on his own accord ...»

Note that this *proves* the US&Co has *no idea* who ordered the attack.

4. Both AusBC items have the same URL; they revised the HRW item and changed the headline - why? Because the HRW story was 'too hot' = contentious = the lies too transparent? Who knows what propagandists get up to, but *no* worthwhile project ever needs a smoke-screen of lies.

5. What then, of this Kerry story; within minutes of his 'blunder,' both he and many US spokespersons tried to back-track, but as the idea was greeted by F+UK,D & UN et al., the direction of the US rogue regime lie-juggernaut was reversed again. Meanwhile, most of F+UK,D & UN et al., after a) initial agreement to the 'Kerry-Lavrov' plan then b) followed the US back-tracking, only to be c) confronted by the 2nd US reversal. Haw!

Oh what a stupidly tangled web they weave, when first they practise to deceive! – us, we the people.

IMHO, a very good reporting resource can be found here].

Fazit: So far, the tomahawks have been reined in - possibly permanently, but I expect there'll be another attempt. Another false-flag, perhaps, rebels dressed as Assad's men attacking Israel might do it?
