Assad Army Discovers Syrian Rebels' Chemical Weapons Cache
While it has become difficult to distinguish fact from fiction from mere propaganda when it comes to events in Syria, the general plot line is a simple one: "X/Y has chemical weapons so the ["free and democratic world"|Russia] has the moral authority to provide military assistance to Y/X."
Recently, it was the "free and democratic world" that decided that the general public has forgotten the epic Iraq WMD disinformation campaign, and ploughed into a decision to arm the Syrian rebels who are really nothing more than Qatar-funded mercenaries led by Al Qaeda, as it was finally ascertained (by someone, unclear who) that it was the Assad regime that had used chemical weapons.
Well, the "free and democratic world" may have some serious 'splaining to do if the latest news out of Syria is confirmed, namely that the the Syrian army has discovered rebels' storehouse in the Damascus area, where toxic chemical substances, including chlorine, have been produced and kept, State TV reported.
Oops.
Military sources reported that the militants "were preparing to fire mortars in the suburbs of the capital and were going to pack missiles with chemical warheads."
On July 7, the Syrian army confiscated “281 barrels filled with dangerous, hazardous chemical materials” that they found also found at a cache belonging to rebels in the city of Banias. The chemicals included monoethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol.
Syrian UN Ambassador Bashar Ja’afari said that the chemicals were “capable of destroying a whole city, if not the whole country."
On Monday chief UN chemical weapons investigator Ake Sellstrom and UN disarmament chief Angela Kane are expected in Damascus for talks following a Syrian government invitation.
Oh well, back to the propaganda drawing board. Only this time, now that the Zimmerman case is over, the public will quickly need some other major distraction to keep it occupied while the secondary propaganda track plays in the background.
More importantly, now that the Syrian rebels have "crossed the red line", we look forward to shipments of US weapons being UPS'ed (someone has to boost the imploding logistics company top line) to the rebels and the Assad regime at the same time. Hence: double the GDP boost.

Well that's just great, now Obama is going to have to arm Assad.

Well..., I guess if Assad's military's commanders said it, it must be so.
Wow, that is really not scary at all.
Chlorine might be used to purify water.
Ethylene glycol is anti-freeze.
Polyethylene glycol is used as a laxative.
Leave it to me to be everyone's friend....
The chlorine was for the rebels' nice, new swimming pool ...

Chlorine gas is an extremely cheap and very effective weapon of death.
Well..., I guess if Assad's military's commanders said it, it must be so.

On a productive note, a new Paul Craig Roberts interview is up today on KWN: http://www.kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2013/7/14_Dr._Paul_Craig_Roberts_files/Dr.%20Paul%20Craig%20Roberts%207%3A14%3A2013.mp3
WMDs. Wow! Is this Kosher?
Does this make them part of the Axis of Evil, or does this imply that nuke creation is ok as long as their intended target is anyone other than Israel? I'm being sarcastic of course, but it sure feels like that is the true definition of 'Axis of Evil'.
Israel also refuses to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treating, while at the same time, demanding that Iran not be permitted to develop nuclear power:
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/21/israel-refuses-join-nuclear-nonproliferation-treaty/
enough of Israeli hypocrisy.
uh, --- ethylene glycol is not a particularly hazordous or uncommon chemical.
It's used as base feed stock in everything from plastics to medicines.
Pretty sure that depends on the way you use it...
Now imagine they dump it into the water supply...
"Well that's just great, now Obama is going to have to arm Assad."
Comment of the week! :-))))))
Nothing like fighting a war against yourself. Fuck war.
wow, isn't that what the industrial warfare machine wants?? provide arms to both sides...this will last until there is only one person (literally) standing. great for business.
i predict a 2.0% GDP increase if this happens. yay Amerika!!
And the banks can finance both sides. Win-win.
It is like taking candy from a baby. They don't even have to change their modus operandi.

War is about oppressing competitors. The MIC sees just about everyone else as competitors now.
Wag the Dog Barry!
This is about tightening the noose around Iran, and keeping Russia out of the ME. Destroy the city and infrastructure oust the leader then loan the new puppet government money which they know they will have trouble repaying. The new regime will enrich itself and do whatever is neccessary to keep their position and wealth. Part of the conditions for loaning that money is that they award major contracts to multinationals to rebuild their country. The country will have a booming economy until the money can't be repaid, then comes loan restructuring with conditions that they privatize nationally owned companies and resources. Maybe even a U.S. military base will be included. Sound familiar. Iraq, Afganistan, Libya ect.. No wonder Iran wants a nuclear weapon. Same old game.
both parties use chemical weapons, assume the worst
get the fuck on with it
so-Rummy- you agree that Saddam had WMDs?
Rummy sold sucralose "Splenda" before returning to DC
>>both sides
Assad has no need of chemical weapons in this war. His troops are winning with conventional weapons. Chemical weapons have no use against infiltrator/mercenaries who infiltrate civilian areas, as opposed to massed troops. In short, WMD is a total red herring used by the war mongers to justify invasions. nothing more.
Oh no! Monoethylene glycol and chlorine! They might make polyester fabric and wash it! Or worse yet, they might make engine coolant! THE HORROR! It is the polyethylene glycol that REALLY scares me. That is often used in OVER THE COUNTER (read: SUPER DANGEROUS) laxatives. Imagine an entire city shitting uncontrollably. It's also used in toothpaste and skin cream. If those rebels starting looking too handsome, god only knows what could happen.
Twist a molecule here or there...voilà! A whole new can of worms. I'm just surprised we haven't seen an invoice for several hunderd tons of yellow cake. Who's this "Betty Crocker," anyway?
Yeah, what's up it Chlorine gas, right?...
rebel storehouses in Damascus?
i did not know the rebels had fought their way into Damascus.
Ha ha ha ha ha HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

Oops! Off script again!
There are too many "events" taking place across the world that doesn't play well for the banksters and gangsters, they can't hide them all. The true nature of things is bursting through the cracks, it really is only a matter of time before so called power elite or high level political assholes are being chased through the streets for their cruel and immoral treatment of their fellow man.
Shish-KaBanksters with a nice side order of Politician porridge. It's whats for Lunch!
@ Crash Override,
Spot on! The Global Criminal Oligarch Cabal Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicates Crimes Against Humanity aren't hidden in plain view anymore. They're all out in the open to see.
I mean come on, Criminal Trasonist Jphn McCain was photographed a few weeks ago with the AL-CIA-duh terrorists.
Anyone want to bet me that the UN inspectors reveal that the chemical weapons were made in and recently supplied by USA?
look for the union label when you are buying that gun,bomb, or jet.
Or look for bible verse scripture machined into the metal containers.
LOL
If I wanted to lose FRNs, I'd be buying stawks.

Extremely good piece, thanks for posting.
Our CIA is getting sloppy...
the practice of inbreeding is catching up to the "elites"
What they need is another Warren commission.

Ha-ha, you're thinking of "béarnaise" sauce. I often get that wrong, too.
"Bernays" invented the atomic wedgie, I think. Still worth remembering.

They are getting sloppier and sloppier. A sign of desperation.
Wti to 150!!!!
Truth from Assad, like truth from any .gov is suspect..Assad lies cia lies bush lies obuma him biggest lie of all. pick your truth there are plenty to choose from.
So basically go with the first comment being the Patient Zero of all the ensuing lies.
The biggest threat to Democracy is Washington D.C. and Wall St. Bankers. They have militarized the US police and in effect are responsible for State sponsored terrorism against the citizens of the United States of America. Among many other things.
Replace Federal Government functions with the United States of America Open Source Constitutional Software for democratic and free societies.
Replace Washington Now.
There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know.
But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.
and then there are know nothings. as in "i know nothing. i hear nothing. i see nothing." hmmm. "informational awareness." hmmm. sounds important.
Oh Gee,... what a surprise, and the "axis of evil" is where?
Spin the war wheel round and round it goes... I thought the plan was to leave a bunch of puppet dictators running the middle east for the Saudi/USA clan as they bust down the door to northern Africa chasing the "terrorists" all the way to the bottom of the resource rape of the continent. Is Halliburton still first in line or are they old news now?
Monoethylene used to make polyester and as a coolant....and poly is used to make medicines....Sounds dangerous....how do you weaponize it?
The next distraction will be Kate's baby,
And I for one can't wait to see that little ride aunty Pippa all over my tv gushing with pride,
Rihanna is still the real Queen though,
Seriously, thank god for real news sites like this.
The MSM will never publish what is really going on.
Isn't everything a chemical weapon?*
* according to the Periodic table
As a chemist, I'm with you and boondocker on this one. How many barrels of "hazardous" chemicals are there in nearly every manufacturer in America? Is this OSHA's definition of "hazardous"? I kid you not, we were required to have an MSDS on hand for baby wipes at a lab where I used to work.
I don't think either side has any really serious chemicals (that weren't supplied) and the whole issue is just to inflame both sides in order to foment WWIII.
and to think people thought the George Zimmerman trial was over....
Monoethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol are pretty darn good at neutralizing VX. If anything these chemicals would be chemical anti-weapons.
I can even get Dihydrogen Monoxide quite easily. Does that make me a threat?
Shame on you. Something is not safe unless the government says it is safe. Everything you own or use must have a government stamp of approval. The government stamp makes it safe. I suppose you think people should be able to choose all by themselves what baby wipes to use? People can't be trusted with that responsibity. They pay taxes to be told what is safe. For example, marijuana is not safe because the government does not approve. The government is looking out for your safety.
(MDB_ tribute post)
281 barrels????
Hmmmm,
All this story is missing is a few minions from Dispicable Me...
(Love those little guys so I do,
in a different way to Pippsy and Ri Ri, obviously)
"Syrian rebels who are really nothing more than Qatar-funded mercenaries led by Al Qaeda"
That's possibly the most succinct description I've seen. And we are still waiting for The O'Bwana to explain with clarity WHY he and the British Government are funding and supporting their No.1 enemy.
They have been funding them since the founding of Al Queda... had to have a force to harrass the Russians, if you remember.
Yeahbut ...at that time AQ was not defined as our enemy. AFAIK.
"...Not defined as our enemy."
No, That requires a name change.
They WERE the Mujahideen.
Now
They ARE Al Queda
Presto Chango
And, Bingo was his name-o...
Even as the Mujahideen they were not defined as "our enemy".
When they do our bidding -- more or less - they are "Freedom Fighters".
When they get wise and have enough of our BS and cease to do our bidding -- they don't even have to 'turn' on us, but just cease to cooperate -- they then become "Terrorists". Gotta love the branding/marketing skills of our 'Mad Men'.
This slaps one in the face with the hypocrisy of our government and still people don't get it. :(
The conspiracy of the all the old power broker families and political puppets funding both sides of war and conflict in the open again for the world to see with their own eyes.
If MSM wasn't run by a pathetic bunch of obsequious, spineless, gutless, mindless, moronic liars and slimeballs, they would be crawling all over this one. Instead of that, they spew footage of the downhill "Summer Egg & Spoon Race" in some local village to keep viewers amused and distracted.
Moms and dads: don't let your babies grow up to be soldiers.
great concept - I agree - BUT....where's da fuckin' JOBS for these kids? we so fucked......

patriotic fervor & delusions of grandeur notwithstanding, what % of enlisted wind up there more out of necessity than anything else? wrestling with one's "future", sitting on the fence: military vs other and have to man-up to an at least 51% advantage to learning how to kill or at least finding a "safer" MOS....
So, clorox bathroom cleaner and prestone anti-freeze are chem. weapons? No wonder big bro is so nervous these days
Mix some clorox with ammonia and breath deeply. Just make sure you have a Will.
Sitting on the Moon looki'n to Earth............
WHY
WTF? Antifreeze? Why would one need that in a desert?
Ethelyne glycol also raises the boiling point of water and prevents boilovers. A 50/50 mix is good for 260 F if I remember the numbers correctly.
I am not sure PEG is even hazardous...these are fairly benign and very common chemicals used in everything, how this constitutes a WMD find is beyond me, though I am no chemist.
Will poison animals, so don't leave bowls of it sitting around outside....
I seem to remember some lady killng a few husbands with it too.
Fuller account:
The diethanolamine and triethanolamine are schedule 3 substances under the chemical weapons convention: they can be used, with some work, as precursors to chemical weapons, but are widely used for legitimate and peaceful purposes (they're probably in your shampoo and shaving cream). PEG and monethylene glycol are, most likely, in your house somewhere, either in your cosmetics, in your medicines, or in your automobile.
Likewise, that they produced chlorine there isn't that big a deal. Chlorine has lots of uses. It's in your swimming pool.
The chemicals alone won't identify this as a chemical weapons plant unless someone comes up with some schedule 1 substances or something other than common precursors.
Ever been in a desert?
Sub zero nights occur frequently.
What? No garages in Syria? Heathens.
There's more than one use for it's thermal properties.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_glycol_poisoning
Hydraulic fluid is used in vast quantities everywhere.
Toothpaste too
The glycol, chlorine and other chemicals are not being used for anti freeze, when these chemicals are combined they are chemical weapons. Glycol in a pure state, is also very explosive when exposed to high temperatures.
China and Russia join in additional naval exercises.
Fuck You Bernanke.
"Made in USA"
John McCain must be constipated over all this...
Doesn't matter who is doing what to who. All he wants is ppl to die in "war". If women and children die all the better.
The sick fuk.
Must be BS. I don't see this on BBC News.
lol ... looks like the BBC reads zh .. heh
BBC, yeah thats a truthful media CONglomerate. Or were you being sarcastic?
sry...forgot the /sarc modifier ;)
Those chemicals they found are... anti-freeze and DNA substrate. The rebels are going to.... cool their vehicles and make their own medicine.
If you check out the MSDS for both these chemicals, you find the PEG is nearly non-hazardous while MEG is rather toxic, but not in comparison to "traditional" chemical warfare compounds. Why al CIAda would want a depot of them does require a bit more explanation, including what the other compounds were that were discovered in these depots.
Zimmerman innocent .... and Israel has a right to self defense, too .... and who says self defense can't be creative and opportunistic and brazen .... it depends on the threat .... doesn't it .... and the best defense is a good offense .... especially when your enemies take every opportunity to come at you .... go Team Israel !
Jeez, you are one creepy dude.
Chlorine gas... the first modren chemical weapon used on the battlefield... by the British of course.
True, but no matter; the wogs begin at Calais.
Easiest way for the rebels and Al-Quaida to get weapons and aid from the US no less, is for them to wipe out a town if civilians using these kinds of weapons - and blame it on their government.
This may be the case.
The only picture I have seen of the purported 'target' was on an RT page, an image of a, empty concrete building with the walls blown out, and the rebar exposed in the supports, which were still standing. So zero walls.
For certain if that building had contained 50 very large heavy-missiles, then that building would not be standing at all, and the evidence of the contents would be scattered everywhere.
But the building appeared to have been completely empty at the time of the explosion.
Plus there was no way to know if it was an old image, of some other event, so I'm a bit suspicious of it as well.
Evidently the Syrians and the Russians failed to detect the origins of the attacking missiles so they had no conclusive proof pointing to the Israelis – until this leak from US officials, which demonstrates the desperation of the Anglo-American oligarchy to ignite a full scale war between Israel and Syria as a last resort to save their crumbling destabilization plan in that country. It remains to be seen if Assad and Putin will risk falling in that trap or focus instead on defeating the remains of the FSA in Northern Syria, thereby gaining the upper hand in the civil war.
