AusBC goes too far
 makes itself an accessory
  MYOB, frauds and tax-$ thieves!

.. when you have eliminated the impossible ...

  .. whatever remains, however improbable ...

    .. must be the truth (listening, AusBC?)

Thesis/Subtitle: IF the US had incontrovertible evidence

Concomitant: THEN the tomahawks would fly

Corollary: so they obviously do not

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's sarin gas claim implausible
Updated September 13, 2013 11:05:10
  «The verdict: There is significant evidence and intelligence linking the Assad regime to the attack. Intelligence agencies and NGOs have found no evidence that any group other than the Assad government possesses chemical weapons on a scale deployed on August 21 or the types of rockets involved.» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: In the 1st instance, this is *not* within the AusBC's competency - as a PFBC, their job is to report facts, not report opinions as fact, and 'investigating' an off-shore incident in an environment of restricted to no access is particularly fraught.

Comment 2: In the 2nd instance, it is *not* the AusBC's business to weigh in on a controversy in Aus, let alone one in some foreign land, and the fact that the tomahawks *did not fly* proves that the US itself has insufficient (= no, or no verifiable) evidence - and that should be the end of it, also given that the world has moved on, to a post 'Kerry-Lavrov' plan situation.

Comment 3: In the 3rd instance, AusBC's interference can only be to propagandise, since the facts do not support its purported conclusion, that a foreign head of state's assertion is 'implausible.'

Comment 4: Given the gravity of the situation, AusBC's interference makes them a participant at the apologist level (providing moral support to a terrorist organisation = US rogue regime), and IF the tomahawks eventually fly, THEN the level of participation escalates to accessory level (providing material support) – of a wicked criminal attack.

Comment 5: This behaviour by the AusBC, being *not* in the interest of truth + justice = peace, therefore *not* in the interests of the Aus electorate, makes them frauds and tax-$ thieves. Sack the bloody lot! Into gaol via the courts for all proven participants in this outrage!

-=*=-

Argument: As to supposed 'evidence' (*all* circumstantial, US admits *no* 'smoking gun'); quoting partisan sources is not merely pointless, it's outright wrong. We know that the US is fomenting (NED&ilk) and subverting (CIA&ilk) Syria, training aggressive invading forces and conduiting both arms and those forces = mercenaries, many of them Al-Qaeda, many from Libya, the site of the previous US-sponsored outrage = yet another supreme international crime. All of the sources cited by the AusBC are either direct US sources, or so-called NGOs or even UN agencies, all of which are (presumably) amenable to US influence = coercion, if not outright corrupt. This is what they mean when they deploy the expression 'the West,' it means the US(Z) rogue-regimes, plus the sycophant-cloud of coerced, coopted cowards plus sundry other (voluntary?) traitors. The AusBC makes itself a cloud-member; a risible, sycophantic 'player,' and as I said, assumes part guilt, by the accessory/apologist mechanism.

-=*=-

Fazit: I object to my tax-$ being so misspent. My personal proof of AusBC perfidy can be dated to the late 60s, when they obscured the 'true facts of the matter' by biased reporting of the then current Israeli outrage against the mostly A/M ME, namely the 1967 war of choice by Israel against its neighbours. Israel is an illegitimate entity and all those who support it make themselves guilty by the same accessory/apologist mechanism. Propagandising the electorate is already a crime against democracy, propagandising on behalf of a foreign power (US, Zs) and/or a filthy 5th column (Zs) makes the AusBC traitors, to boot.

1. [DW]: "Obama blocks help for Syrian rebels"
Date 19.02.2013
Author Ben Knight

«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.»

By Mandi Sami
Updated September 10, 2013 22:09:13

«Human Rights Watch reported on the incident which reportedly killed more than 1,400 people near Damascus in August as the US president Barack Obama was pushing for congressional approval for military strikes on Syria.»

3. [AusBC]: "Russia plan on Syrian chemical weapons was no accident, US official says"
Updated September 11, 2013 10:34:34

Video: North America correspondent Ben Knight reports on the Syria situation (ABC News)

...

«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?

Syria 'chemical weapons' crisis: LIVE UPDATES, September 9
  «22:19 GMT: President Obama said he is willing to “absolutely” put on pause the limited strike option on Syria if President Bashar Assad accepts Russia’s proposal to hand over control of the country’s chemical weapons to the international community.»
[RT/Syria 'ticker']

Comment 1: RT is a Russian PFBC and could be *the* definitive 'paper of record' for anything Russian-related. Interesting to contrast with AusBC; see comments 1 & 2 after article 2.

Comment 2; note: Obama's «“absolutely” put on pause» is strong/weak ("on pause" is now likely to be for ever); why?

Syria welcomes Russian proposal to surrender chemical weapons as Assad warns US over strikes
 Updated September 10, 2013 08:27:52
  «The Russians made the idea public after US secretary of state John Kerry made an off-the-cuff comment at a press conference, suggesting that Mr Assad could avoid a strike by giving up his chemical weapons in a week, something he believed would not and could not happen.»
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: The AusBC has a newish trick; 'summary points' without URLs.

Comment 2: Since we don't like assertions without substantiation, this amounts to 'dereliction of duty' for a PFBC = publicly-financed broadcaster (raison d'être = fairly and fully inform the electorate).

Comment 3; note: «off-the-cuff;» IMHO, no regime-flunky ever says anything that hasn't been triple-checked by 'the back-room boys.' Every syllable is rehearsed, memorised, checked again etc.. Especially Kerry; we see things like 'carefully chosen words,' and the seriousness here is astronomical. Sooo, why did a StateDept flunky immediately start to back-peddle, saying "rhetorical argument?" More to the point, what is the US-regime game-plan here? More below.

Trigger article 3:

Syria conflict: Barack Obama says Russia's proposal on chemical weapons is 'potentially positive', but he is sceptical
 Updated September 10, 2013 12:25:12
  «Mr Kerry was quick to explain that his comments were not meant as a proposal and that it would not delay the Obama administration's efforts to secure congressional authorisation to use force against Syria.
...
The president said a breakthrough on control of Syrian chemical weapons would not solve "the underlying terrible conflict inside of Syria".
"But if we can accomplish this limited goal without taking military action, that would be my preference," he said.
...
Two senior Republican senators, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, have said the possibility of Mr Assad giving up control of his chemical weapons should make members of Congress more willing to vote for the authorisation of force.»

[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: Kerry says «not meant as a proposal» (= back-pedalling) then (my 'quotes' = paraphrased); 'no delay to seeking approval for force' (contradicting Obama.)

Comment 2: Obama says getting rid of CWs will not solve the problem (der, stupidly obvious), and then 'accomplish this without bombing = his preference' (suspect an outright lie, since that's been the whole point of the 'false-flag' - up until Kerry's 'offer.')

Comment 3: Then McCain&Graham say 'OK; no CWs but that *increases* the pressure to bomb' = risibly self-contradictory.

Comment 4: Their comments are all over the shop - like out of control diarrhoea.

Comment 5: Other people reported to now be in favour of 'No CWs = no bombs' are Cameron, Fabius, Merkel and Ban Ki Moon. Cameron has been effectively castrated by the UK parliament, Fabius/Hollande are a) a real worry, and b) IMHO traitors both class and t+j=p = truth + justice = peace; Merkel is only partly and late 'on board,' due to a fig-leaf from the EU, and Ban Ki Moon is - IMHO - totally corrupt (as was Annan (= Iraq invasion illegal) before him).

-=*=-

Argument: The US rogue-regime game-plan = 'bomb Syria back to the Stone Age' appears in tatters. Either Kerry 'over-egged the pudding,' scarcely credible, or the whole ugly crew saw that Congressional approval would *not* be forthcoming (let alone UNSC), so they quickly cobbled together this 'plan B.' Due to their haste, they had too little time to 'coordinate the narrative,' so many were caught 'on the hop,' and since the 'No CWs = no bombs' actually seems eminently sensible, so the dominoes are falling individually.

The alternate thesis = that Kerry spoke with foot in mouth (still incredible but not impossible) AND that some Russian genius = Putin, (reputedly plays chess while Obama paddles his Empire-Ducks around in the bath-tub) - saw the immense possibilities, *could* account for the US verbal diarrhoea.

Then the criminal Zs, who thought they had the Golan Heights sooo-close to their greedy, murderous grasp... But another 'always, of course,' a real warning: Beware the aging hegemon.

Update, 15:51; PS Proof of AusBC perfidy, and HRW criminality:

Human Rights Watch concludes Syrian regime behind chemical attacks despite Assad denials
PM
By Mandi Sami
Updated September 10, 2013 22:09:13
  «"So the sophistication this attack and the fact that these are rockets that we know are in the possession of the Syrian government clearly indicates that the Syrian government most likely carried out this attack, despite the denials from Damascus."

The findings from the human rights body contradict fresh statements from Mr Assad in a US television interview denying involvement in the attacks, which he has blamed on rebels fighting to overthrow him.»

[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: In case neither AusBC nor HRW haven't noticed, the world changed latest when RT reported: «12:08 GMT "US Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the Syrian President “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community” to avoid a military strike on the country.»

Comment 2: On the (questionable) assumption that Kerry is *not* an idiot, and as the spokesperson for the Amerikan 4th Rei... err, US regime, what he said was serious; it means that the offer noCW=noSA (you give up your chemical weapons, and we won't bomb you back to the Stone Age) - is genuine.

Comment 3: IF the assumption in (2) is not correct (i.e. Kerry = stark raving mad = bonkers), then we live in La-La-Land, and might as well all go off to the beach for a beer and a barbie.

Comment 4: In clear text: IF the US won't bomb THEN the issue is moot; it is perfectly pointless to a) tell lies (HRW) and b) transmit (even amplify) such lies (AusBC); the world has now 'moved on' to a non-bombed Syria era - and bygones are now bygones. More clear text: As there is *no* credible evidence, *no* smoking gun, that would convict Assad in any fair court (= Darlinghurst, say), that's *exactly* why the US is dropping the bomb-threats [revised: ceasing to threaten "Bombs! Death! Destruction! Stone Age!" – How primitive the US Empire-ruling tyrants really are.] IF any doubt this, THEN they could try my "the face that launched 400 tomahawks ," and read the citations – IMHO very illuminating (= why I did it).

Comment 5: This effort by HRW - not it's bloody business (= without credible evidence; all they can stretch to is 'probable'), nor AusBC's bloody business to give such rubbish a platform - convict them both as criminal accessories. It's yet more ppp-dd'ing = pushed-propaganda paradigm dumbing-down; tumbrels!

[«back»]

^
Update, 17:59; PPS Can the US rogue-regime ever be trusted?

Of course, following 'beware the aging hegemon,' treachery cannot be ruled out; Syria fulfils its part of noCW=noSA, say - but the tomahawks fly anyway? There's a lot of blood that has already flowed under the US rogue-regime bridge, what's a bit more?

Seems that the pause is over, the war-drums are beating again:

RT:
14:25 GMT: US Secretary of State John Kerry is speaking before a House panel in an attempt to garner congressional approval for a strike against Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria. “Thirty-one countries support US holding Syria accountable,” Kerry told lawmakers. Should the US not launch a military strike, he cautioned, America’s “ambivalence” and “weakness” would not be projected onto its adversaries.
“The risk of not acting is much greater than the risk of acting,” Kerry said.

That's just the start. Where, exactly, is t+j=p = truth + justice = peace?

IMHO, Kerry is seriously deranged.

Musing: The slow-motion smashing of Syria drags on; we have an 'hiatus' while Obama waltzes with the US Congress, a dance of certain death. Even if the Congress, like the UK parliament, declines Obama's deadly embrace, and/or even if no 'coalition of the (cowardly/coerced) willing' can be formed, Obama's spokespersons have claimed that the US rogue-regime can (= will) 'go it alone.' Since the world seems to be fresh out of effective resistance to wickedness, the tomahawks seem certain to fly. There are more or less serious queries here; i.e. how many deaths will it take, to save Obama's face?

Thesis: That the alleged poison-gas attack was a false-flag event, by persons unknown, but likely to be US/Z 'secret services' themselves, or their proxies, outside-chance Saudi/Qatar ss/p-ditto.

An alternate thesis, pushed by the US/Z rogue regimes, that 'Assad did it' simply fails the giggle test – although of course, there's nothing at all funny about this latest exploit by the US/Z evil empire – so why the all the laughing by O-bomber?

And it's that same "common-sense" that says US should attack?

-=*=-

Ooops (intermezzo). The purpose of this blog-item was to explore the 'false flag' possibility, which IMHO is the highest probability scenario. But I've been overtaken a bit by events; here are some snips from:

Syria 'chemical weapons' crisis: LIVE UPDATES

12:08 GMT: US Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the Syrian President “could turn over every single bit of his chemical weapons to the international community” to avoid a military strike on the country.

14:16 GMT: Russia has urged Syria to put its chemical weapons under international control for subsequent destruction to avert a possible military strike.

15:43 GMT: Damascus welcomed Russia’s initiative, “based on the Syrian’s government care about the lives of our people and security of our country,” Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said.

17:54 GMT: State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the US has "serious and deep skepticism” about the statements from Russia and Syria.

17:59 GMT: Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken echoed Harf's statement indicating that the US will take a "hard look" at the Russian proposal.

Comment: Looks like a) Kerry may have spoken 'frivolously,' but b) the Russians have 'hopped,' and taken a strong initiative. The BBC item I cited above has some estimates on the difficulty of getting Obama's attack approved; could this be a clever way out for both sides? We'll have to wait and see.

End intermezzo.

-=*=-

Argument: The citations above take me hours to find, read, think about then assemble into some form of order. The profis have staffs and 'intel' depts - they would be expected to know everything, practically in 'real-time.' Specifically, any 'false-flag' must stand out - to the profis - like dog's balls. So why is it, that the US/Zs are still rampant, smashing country after country to steal resources, murdering for spoil, soil and/or oil - all *without* running into structured opposition? As I see it, there are two possibilities; a) any 'structured opposition' is intimidated into silence (hence my SQSHsO = snivelling quisling sycophantic hangers-on) or b) recall F+UK/NATO and Libya, actually themselves corrupt, and all in on 'the game.' Grrr! That they dare call murdering to steal 'a game!' Note that both (a) and (b) require psychopaths as perpetrators. And this is why we need the whistle-blower heroes.

-=*=-

Fazit: The US/Zs et al. *must* be stopped, else the result of tomahawks over Syria (then Iran, Russia, China) is expected to be similar to this:

2013-09-08

tinker, tailor, soldier, spy (apologies, JLeC)
 perpetrator, accessory, apologist, bystander
  all share guilt; only active resistance is acceptable

Foreword:

The world is in big trouble (see The 4x4 apocalypse-matrix as prototype, then lines 3-5 prioritised here); the troublemakers are getting worse = bolder and more active/destructive, and the troubles getting ever more desperate = dire. (Kerry, feel shame.)

I don't usually deploy the words 'enemy' or 'hate,' but this time no such restraint is possible.

End foreword.

The crime: Proposed attack on Syria = supreme international crime.

The perpetrators: Obama, Kerry & Hollande, rogue-regimes US/Zs & F.

The accessories: NATO/Rasmussen, EU/Ashton, UK, D et al..

The apologists: MSM + PFBCs policy/staff/non-anti-war contributors, (the organisations themselves are accessories), all pro-war 'activists' and advocates, etc..

When not mentioned above, other accessories are the controlling factions of the M/I/C/$4a†-plex plus the whole of the I/J/Z-plex.

*All* of the preceding are the 99%+ = we the people's mortal enemies.

The bystanders: All those looking or not, but who do nothing. Silence = acquiescence = part guilt, for not trying to stop crimes in progress.

The resistance: Those few who actively attempt to stop the lies, injuries = wounds/destruction/deaths and associated injustices. Newton's 1st law requires force for any change; pacifists+ must oppose idiot, physical force with the power of the intellect.

The keyboard is mightier than the sword; the psychopaths must be stopped.

European Union blames Syrian regime for chemical attack, urges 'strong response'
 Posted September 08, 2013 00:48:18
  «Germany meanwhile announced it has signed on to a global statement urging "a strong response" to the chemical weapons attack.
That made Germany the fifth EU member to back the statement issued at a G20 summit in Saint Petersburg on Friday and signed by 11 countries - including the US, Britain, France, Italy and Spain.
"After the Europeans found a common position here ... the chancellor and I decided that we can agree to the declaration which was made yesterday in Saint Petersburg," German foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said.
Mr Westerwelle has urged the UN to publish its chemical weapons report "as quickly as possible" to help Europe's divided leaders determine a joint response.»
 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: There is no 'evidence,' no 'smoking gun' - only an unsubstantiated allegation. As such, any 'belief' is baseless, and *no* attack is justified.

Comment 2: A "strong response" is code for an all-out attack (the Pentagon knows no mercy), hiding behind mealy-mouthed weasel-words. In itself an admission of ill-intent.

Comment 3: Some, like F, just can't wait to attack; most others will be strong-arm coerced to cooperate with the attackers, by at least not objecting then possibly applauding the so-called 'strong' ones. It's simply disgusting, that most of the 'West' regimes are such SQSHsO = snivelling quisling sycophantic hangers-on.

EU governments call for calm on military action in Syria
 Updated September 08, 2013 15:36:11
  «Many European governments have expressed reservations about using military force to punish Syria's president Bashar al-Assad over a chemical weapons attack near Damascus.
...
European Union foreign ministers meeting in Lithuania on Saturday blamed the chemical weapons attack that allegedly killed more than 1,400 people in August on Assad's government.
...
In a carefully worded message, the foreign ministers of 28 EU governments stopped short of endorsing possible military action ahead of the UN report which could be made public at the end of next week.
...
Pope Francis, who two days ago branded a military solution in Syria "a futile pursuit", led the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics in a global day of prayer and fasting for peace in Syria, the Middle East and the world.»
 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: This is part of the cynical "good cop, bad cop" routine, on the one hand indicating attack, on the other saying well, wait. But the anticipated result is still the same: A wickedly, criminally smashed Syria.

Comment 2: There is still no proof (me, looping), yet the MSM+PFBCs report "the big lie" of Assad's *alleged* guilt as proven. There really should be the strongest law against such criminal misreporting.

Comment 3: "Carefully worded" means deliberately ambiguous; one can draw whatever conclusion, bloody attack or prudent non-action, all meaning some form of lying.

Comment 4: The Pope is acting, but IMHO ineffectively; why no fire & brimstone, total condemnation of war, and excommunication for any war-perpetrators in his flock?

Kerry and French Foreign Minister Appeal Together for Strike Against Syria
By MICHAEL R. GORDON
  «PARIS — The two most vocal advocates of an international response to a chemical weapons attack in Syria teamed up on Saturday when Secretary of State John Kerry and his French counterpart made an unusual joint appeal for military action.
“France and the United States stand together,” said Laurent Fabius, the French foreign minister, who argued that a punishing military strike was needed to redraw the red line against the use of chemical weapons.»
 
[NYT/'news']

Comment; Q: What is it about these Foreign Ministers? Although Mme Merkel is trying to be quietly pro-war, Mme Westerwelle has been screeching hate-speech in Syria's direction from the time the 1st poison-gas reports hit the corrupt&venal MSM+PFBCs. Memo to Foreign Ministers everywhere: There is no proof, apart from an allegation of an intercept of a questionable-content phone call, reported *secretly* by some mossad-style unit, the entire I/J/Z-plex deservedly reputed to be the worst liars on the planet, and in all cases, secrecy is a mortal enemy of democracy.

-=*=-

Argument: Of course, most would decry any CW attack, including me. However, IMHO there was a false-flag operation, by criminals-unknown, and most (99.9%) likely, *not* Assad&Co. (Cui bon? - I mean really, Assad is demonstrably *not* suicidal?) Occam's Razor says 'keep it simple;' the most obvious motive is US+Z murder for spoil.

The very fact that *none* of the intending perpetrators or accessories directly addresses the 'proof-problem' = try to suppress it, is itself proof of their proposed perfidy.

-=*=-

Fazit: IF not stopped, THEN the US will push its violent, rip-off capitalism onto most of the world, to all our (non direct benefiting = we the 99%+) cost. After Syria will come Iran, then Russia and China - the US rogue-regime sees no effective opposition, and knows no restraint; it's only a matter of WHEN, not IF. When Iran, Russia or China are attacked, they will either meekly succumb, or fight - and IMHO, the chances of success against the attacks to come would be higher, the earlier the fight starts, and a combined opposition can be mounted - or they'll most likely be picked off, one after the other. I make no warnings except to say: Be careful.

Now is the time for all good wo/men, to come to the aid of truth + justice = peace.

just who,
 on this whole planet,
  will tell the US: bloody-well go home!

It's like they're children; they get some idea, actually two:

a) We [the US rogue-regime] are the greatest! [Me: Actually, not.]

b) And we [the US rogue-regime] will kill all resister/dissidents!

Time after time, from latest 6&9Aug'45, the US has attacked other countries; namely those, which do not bow down and submit.

N.Korea, Vietnam, ... we "pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean ..." - that they are psychopathic murderers for spoil.

It's actually embarrassing, for the rest of the (decent) world, that either the non-resisters = quisling regimes a) prostrate themselves = kiss the US-arse, or b) sit quietly in the corner, hoping not to be noticed.

Look, idiots; a) the US (and sycophants F+UK'D etc.) have *no* evidence (apart from some lies - sourced from IL = most probably the worst liars on the planet), and even if Assad did do it (99.9% *not*; cui bono? ); it's *not* the US' task to smash the entire country of Syria, as alleged 'punishment' for an unsubstantiated offence, recall 'innocent until proven guilty?' - So have a court-case; present the info to the UNSC - and to the world; no more secrets please, secrecy is a mortal enemy of democracy.

In other words, as Putin said (before he apparently piked (perhaps, but was seen to look like it; MSM slant/propaganda again?)):

"Obama(Kerry, et al.), put up or shut up!"

We simply can't have the US posing as vigilantes, murdering for spoil, smashing whoever gets up their nose, in their way or whatever.

In fact, it is not any Assad (much more likely false-flag) CW-attack which is driving the US, it is a) the Zionists (Zs = murderers for soil), b) US wishing for control of oil/gas/pipelines/routes (US = murderers for oil), all to extract the maximum economic rent, c) hegemony = oppress everywhere, here Syria (Damascus as road to Tehran = Iran), then eventually Russia and China. The US rogue-regime is composed of out of control megalomaniacs, and it is in every normal person's (= non-psychopath/thief) interest to resist/reject/stop the carnage, rapine, theft and general oppression.

What we need, is effective countervailing force (pen mightier than sword); what we get, is craven acquiescence, almost everywhere.

Fazit: Not at all nice; cowardly-custards.

PS You, I, every normal (= non-psychopath/thief) person on the planet has to buy oil, if we want it.

CIA Internal Histories

Document 1 (Cover Sheet, Summary, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix C, Appendix D, Appendix E): CIA, Clandestine Services History, Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran: November 1952 – August 1953, Dr. Donald N. Wilber, March 1954

Source: The New York Times

I downloaded the Cover Sheet, Summary and Appendix A.

From the Cover Sheet:
SECRET
HISTORIAN'S NOTE
This paper, entitled Overthrow of Premier Mossadeq of Iran, ...
Project TPAJAX ...
...
Editor's Note:
The C.I.A.'s history of the 1953 coup in Iran is made up of the following documents: a historian's note, a summary introduction, a lengthy narrative account written by Dr. Donald N. Wilber, and, as appendices, five planning documents he attached. On April 16, 2000, The New York Times on the Web published the introduction and several of the appendices.
...

From the summary:
SECRET
SUMMARY
By the end of 1952, it had become clear that the Mossadeq government in Iran was incapable of reaching an oil settlement with interested Western countries;
...
was motivated mainly by Mossadeq's desire for personal power;
...
and had cooperated closely with the Tudeh (Communist) Party of Iran
...
and if that happened it would mean a victory for the Soviets in the Cold War and a major setback for the West in the Middle East. No remedial action other than the covert action plan ...
...
It was the aim of the TPAJAX project to cause the fall of the Mossadeq government ... and replace [it with one] ... which would reach an equitable oil settlement, ...
...
In Iran, CIA and SIS propaganda assets were to conduct an increasingly intensified propaganda effort ...
...
In cooperation with the Department of State, CIA had several articles planted in major American newspapers and magazines which, when reproduced in Iran, had the desired psychological effect in Iran and contributed to the war of nerves against Mossadeq.
...

From Appendix A:
SECRET
SUMMARY
1. Preliminary action
 A. Interim Financing of Opposition
  1. CIA will supply $35,000 to Zahedi.
  2. SIS will supply $25,000 to Zahedi.
...

That was 1953; switching to 2013, and end preamble.

Trigger article 1:

Waging War in Syria ‘to Make a Point’?
 John Glaser, August 26, 2013
  «Aaron David Miller thinks the Obama administration will bomb Syria, aiming not to topple the Assad regime but to “make a point.”
...
“Obama has come around to the view that regime change is more fraught with dangers than letting Assad remain.”
...
The alternative is ugly. If the Obama administration tried to bomb the Assad regime out of existence, the U.S. would then have to militarily occupy Syria, ... That occupation would last for the foreseeable future, ...»
 
[antiwar/Glaser]

Comment: It's ridiculous to say that the US is not interested in deposing Assad - that was their loudly stated purpose; Mme Clinton; Assad "must go!" (About 236,000 results) Then the CIA helped arm the jihadis imported through TR and JOR, say. It's even more ridiculous to say that the US will attack Syria to slap Assad on the wrist?

Trigger article 2:

Bombing Syria ‘Just Enough Not to Get Mocked,’ Or, Where Does America Get Off?
 John Glaser, August 28, 2013
  «One U.S. official who has been briefed on the options on Syria said he believed the White House would seek a level of intensity “just muscular enough not to get mocked” but not so devastating that it would prompt a response from Syrian allies Iran and Russia.
“They are looking at what is just enough to mean something, just enough to be more than symbolic,” he said.
So not only are we bombing another country “to make a point,” but we’re doing it in a way that ensures we won’t “get mocked.”
...
Why should military action be necessitated by outrage over chemical attacks? Was there a red line on chemical weapons when the US used depleted-uranium ammunition in Fallujah, Iraq? Was there a red line when Israel deployed white phosphorous in Gaza in 2008? Or when Saddam Hussein, then a western ally, gassed the Iranians and then his own people during the 1980s? This arbitrary and self-serving declaration of what’s acceptable is precisely what makes the US so lacking in credibility when it comes to preaching codes of warfare to the Middle East.»
 
[antiwar/Glaser]

Comment: All this, and *zero* proof that any gas attack in Syria was by Assad's forces.

Trigger article 3:

Fort Hood shooter sentenced to death for 2009 killings
Posted August 29, 2013 05:57:57 | Updated August 29, 2013 13:15:35
  «A US military jury has sentenced former army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan to death by lethal injection for killing 13 people in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment: How does walking into some compound to kill innocents with hand-guns differ from US/Z-F+UK'D ships, planes and submarines firing bullets, bombs and rockets into a country to kill innocents remotely by robot? Especially given that there is *no* proof any gas attack in Syria was by Assad's forces, rather the 'alternative thesis,' that so-called 'rebels,' currently losing both battles and the whole fake civil war (which is actually more of an aggressive foreign invasion/fomented jihad), is much more likely?

-=*=-

Argument: First, it was Cheney/Rumsfeld: "Not oil!" Then the accessories, finally the apologists and mostly r-whinger-trolls: "Not oil!"

Me: Not credible. UK was interested in ME oil, latest when British warships started being changed from coal to oil, before WW1, see Churchill:

"During the war, he continued as First Lord of the Admiralty until the disastrous Gallipoli Campaign caused his departure from government."

Re Mesopotamia in 1920, Churchill:

"I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes."

According to wiki (which may be fiddled), the poms did not actually deploy poisoned gas in 1920, and/but there is no evidence to show that Assad's forces did in 2013 either.

That US and UK both want Iran's oil is proven by the preamble quotes. Note that while Syria is not a major oil-owner, it sits on a prime-pipeline route or two, namely an N/S one desired mainly by Qatar, and an E/W one already signed by Iran, Iraq and Syria. Hmmm.

F and D both abstained from the "Shock'n whore" of Iraq by B,B&H = US (the Z-wagged dog), UK (the poodle) + Aus (the dag), and afterwards (having missed out on spoil), F and D were sooo sorry, that Sarkozy practically jumped the gun getting into Libya, and Westerwelle (who sharply criticised Sarkozy in Mar'11) is now full-on screeching hate at Syria, D staying out of the 'firing line' only because it would probably cost the govt. any possible chance of re-election.

-=*=-

Fazit: We can assume that although the name of the game is no longer the same ('coup' morphed to 'Arab-spring,' say), the aim of the game remains exactly the same, namely US$s, hegemony and yes, still the bloody oil = murder for spoil, here oil, and land-theft, the latter by the Zs, from mainly Palestine and any other bits the Zs can improperly alienate by ever more genocidal ethnic cleansing, also murder for spoil, here soil. The Syrian bit that most interests the Zs here is the Z-occupied Golan Heights, both for land and water.

The big Q: How/why can these US/Z-F+UK'D rogue-regimes get away with Nuremberg-class = capital-crimes, the very same crimes for which others have been / will be executed?

And where, exactly, is truth + justice = peace?

Update, 19:51; PS The evening news shows both Obama and Cameron rowing backwards from an immediate intervention, and both UK-opposition and Merkel calling for 'wait and see' what the UN inspectors find - although it is *not* the inspectors' remit to investigate "Who?" So the final smashing of Syria seems postponed for now - but these psychopathic US/Z-F+UK'D criminals simply cannot keep their hands in their pockets for too long.

And don't forget the Pentagon's 'take-out' (=smash) wish-list of 7 countries in 5 years (leaked ~10 days after 9/11), and the (US/Z's) road to Tehran goes through Damascus.

Update, 30Aug; PPS Extraordinary ...

"something is happening here
 but you don't know what it is"


From my unfavourite PFBC:

1. British government says it has legal authority to attack Syria without UN ruling
2. British MPs vote against military intervention in Syria
3. Claims Australian troops cut off insurgent's hands('elite special forces')
4. CIA's budget worth $15 billion according to documents leaked by Edward Snowden

1. No; nobody can (with impunity) contravene 'the law,' here the UN Charter. The attempt is to 'write' new law, not by the accepted (democratic?) processes, but by force majeure based on 'supposed' R2P. IMHO not on, and recall that there is no evidence of 'who dunnit.'

2. This surprises me; why did some in Cameron's party rebel? The surprise is more general, now all 4 of US-F+UK'D are 'rowing back.' So Q: What went wrong? A: They're not saying = it's a 'secret?'

3. Proves the military has *some* psychopaths; I'd say *most* are - in order to kill people, perpetrators must be 'not normal' = sub-human.

4. CIA = $15bio + NSA = 10bio. All for 'covert ops' from spying (also on us, we the people) to murdering - mostly innocents (lethal drones, say) plus bribery, sabotage etc. - mostly illegal things, mostly attemptedly hidden by lies. Perpetrators have to lie, else they would self-convict.

Comment: "Secrecy is a mortal enemy of democracy!"

Further comment: The 'oil deal' Mossadeq was rejecting was probably similar to the one I found when researching this article, namely only 16% going to Iran. Amazingly similar to Aus 'losing' ~83% to FDI. Hmmm?

Just in (NYT): "Obama Set for Limited Strike on Syria as British Vote No"

Me: Vicious, criminal rogue-regime; let the tumbrels roll!

Update, 31Aug; PPPS A John Kerry 'Colin Powell' moment:

1. AusBC: "US says world cannot let Assad get away with chemical attack"

2. US govt.: "Assessment of the Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons"

3. Sample false-flag: "Obama administration complicit in war crime?"

Comment: IMHO, Kerry dissembled (the US has 'loose with the truth' form). IMHO, their 'evidence' is unconvincing (proof = UK parliament rejected it). IMHO, something like (3) is more than possible, it's most probable. The people may decide ("Polls show the American public is largely opposed"), but sadly (sham democracies) we, the people have *no* influence.
