Sarin gas is as volatile as Washington’s promises by Thierry Meyssan

16 June 2013 — Voltaire Network

Did Syria or did she not use sarin gas against its armed opposition? After haunting newspaper columns, the question found a positive answer in Paris, London and Washington. The red line has apparently been crossed. War may therefore be imminent. In reality, this media game comes too late. In terms of international law, Syria is not a signatory to the chemical weapons Convention and may use them freely.

Leave a comment

21 April, 2013 — RT

The whole world is now rehearsing the exotic names of the main suspects fingered as the ‘Boston bombers’: Tamerlan and Dzhokhar.  The two young men have been treated with ‘celebrity’ attention by the media as the public is struggling to define the motives and circumstances that led to their recent actions.

Marxist, Atheist, Jewish, Zionist and Prime Minister (wannabe)

Haaretz reported today that  “Britain‘s next Jewish prime minister says he is a Zionist” how surprising. His brother David, was listed by an Israeli official website  as an ‘Israeli propaganda (Hasbarah) Author’.  Reading Haaretz today confirms that ‘Red Ed‘ changed his mind, he is now  ‘Blue & White’. a genuine Zionist Jew. I guess that  the British Labour [Party] is,  once again, an Israeli occupied territory.
