Mattis Admits There Was No Evidence Assad Used Poison Gas On His People Source

Something keeps ringing in my head. It goes like this: "He gassed his own people". Who did? Saddam Hussein of course.

How sad that the US is recycling the same old lies to justify "regime change".

Okay, the Mattis thing was back in February and only brought into question the past allegations against Assad, but one of the comments below the article is very worthy of note:

• tween decks: "...their lies go around the world before truth gets its boots on."

Too logical for the war machine's dire need of enemies in order to continue to prosper?  Despite what it does to the thought processes of America's own people as they struggle to retain pride in their country while at the same assimilating the gross reality of what their homeland routinely inflicts on nations who can't fight back and turn for help to boogeyman Russia - the country, which by the way, just in the last few years, has achieved higher oil production than the US - upsetting the crudely desired price dominance.

No wonder Russia can't do anything right lately.

No wonder they must be cast as wreaking, aiding and abetting evil.

​From Canadian Global Research re alleged chemical attack by Assad on his own people: 

• Within minutes, the New York Times and the Washington Post dashed out breathless articles placing the blame for the alleged attack at the feet of the Syrian and Russian governments.
• The Guardian declared in an editorial that “Syria’s renewed use of chemical weapons against its own people at the weekend is shameless and barbaric.”
• The current claims are no more credible than those that preceded it.

And with regard to the Canadian monkey-see, monkey-do expulsions of Russians, another quote well worthy of note:

Russian diplomat calls expulsions over remarks "un-Canadian"

• 'Trying to silence an official spokesman of the embassy doesn't mean you are right,' Kirill Kalinin said in an interview

Meanwhile, Yulia Skripal has been released from hospital fully "recovered" and, despite the headline screaming that she "speaks out", all she really has to say is "respect my privacy". And a family member who tried to get into Britain to visit her has been denied entry.

​A classic case of speak no evil, hear no evil? 

Meanwhile the UK is arranging to have both Skripals shipped to America - so, spit-spot, potential leaks about the truth of the situation will be managed. 

If you haven't already, and you want to see how classy -- and logical -- the Russian spokespeople are compared to the bombast of the rat's nest, I can't urge you strongly enough to watch this admittedly long, but fascinating video of hearings on the issue of "Novichok".

If you prefer farce, however, you can watch Facebook - haha "Farcebook" - mogul Mark Zukerberg feigning remorse and mended ways as inquisitors pretend to be sternly concerned about individual privacy, here, tomorrow April 11, starting at 10:00 am.

Meanwhile, Trump is about to be faced with serious issues at home if the theory of the mid-April cycle of home-grown mayhem has any validity. This year it could come earlier than expected because of the clash between April Fool's Day and Easter Sunday.

Not wanting to wish mayhem on anyone, I hope the trend disrupts itself.

Comic Relief Anyone?

2018 April Fool’s Day Cancelled

• The change has been ordered by The Pope, who has had the authority to change dates since his predecessor Pope Gregory XIII created the modern-day calendar in 1582.
• The little-used power hasn’t been enacted since July 15, 1782 when the then Pope cancelled the date of his brother’s birthday because of an argument.
