Syria had tons (yes, TONS) of powerful nerve agents including VX. It would not be difficult for their agents to smuggle the stuff out of the country and use it against targets including US and European civilian populations. You heard it here first.

DJ-Russia very clear on Syria https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/russia-suddenly-puts-troops-on-full-combat-alert/ all over Russia, Russia ready for war. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/update-iranians-killed-wounded-in-israeli-strike-on-syrias-t-4-base-say-russian-sources-details/ and https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/video-russian-military-police-enters-douma-to-investigate-alleged-chemical-attack/, https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-pictures-show-aftermath-of-israeli-missile-strike-on-syrian-airbase/ (Lebanese almasdarnews is usualy short read)
https://southfront.org/us-defense-secretary-does-not-rule-out-military-action-against-assad-government/, https://southfront.org/12-iranian-personnel-killed-in-israeli-airstrike-on-syrias-t4-airbase-reports/ https://www.defconwarningsystem.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=6 good updates (on bad news) https://www.debka.com/moscow-turns-against-israel-suspects-its-air-strike-in-syria-was-feeler-for-a-us-offensive/ and https://www.debka.com/mivzak/mattis-us-doesnt-rule-out-airstrikes-against-syria-over-alleged-toxic-atack/ First, there is a fair chance that Trump might decide to go for a symbolic attack. That would be anything under 100 cruise missiles fired at 1-4 targets (and their associated air defenses) and would probably not include government buildings in Damascus. Second, if there is a real, full-scale US attack on Syria, expect no less than several hundred cruise missiles fired in the first wave of attack, followed by a probably smaller, but possibly similar sized, second wave. Should that happen you will get first reports of not Syrian air defenses engaging the incoming missiles, but also Russians ones. There is a strong possibility that at this point Russian military personnel will be reported killed and that, in turn, will probably lead to Russian counter-strikes on US forces with everything that implies. By the way, there is no reason for the USN to risk their surface ships in such an attack. The US has converted several SSBNs (“boomers” with sea-launched ICBMs) into a SSGN (cruise missile carrier) each one of them capable of firing 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles. I don’t know where they currently are deployed, all I am saying that the US does have options, including launching a large amounts of cruise missiles from submarines which would be far less exposed to Russian retaliation, especially if the Navy provides the US SSGNs with aircover (which it definitely can). Bottom line: don’t mistake the Israeli (or French) clowns for the US armed forces. As for Syria, let’s see what happens today at the UNSC meeting called by Russia. The Saker |

DJ-Israel attacked Iran/Hezbollah at T4-Homs(Syria) air base.
https://southfront.org/russian-defense-ministry-israel-behind-last-night-strike-syrias-t4-airbase/ and https://southfront.org/syrian-air-defense-forces-repel-missile-attack-on-t4-airbase-casualties-reported-video/ (8 missiles launched above Lebanon, 5 shot down). https://www.debka.com/syria-claims-homs-air-base-hit-by-missile-pentagon-denies/ DJ-Israel wanted to stop weapons transfer from Iran to Hezbollah. T4-base also was target during february 10 Israeli air raid. Russia did give Israel several warnings they would not allow further Israeli air strikes. US most likely gave Israel permission to strike. https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804091063356221-things-to-know-syrian-airbase-attack/, https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804091063352452-israel-spy-jet-syria-missiles/, https://sputniknews.com/us/201804091063350511-trum-macron-agree-response-syria/ DJ-The UN Security council will meet today on the Syria situation. It looks like if there is any further military action from "the west" it will be after the UNSC-meeting. Russia will demand an OPCW-investigation on the claim Syria would have used chemical weapons in Douma (East Ghouta). China will support such a demand. (DJ-Syria did not have any reason to use chloride in the Douma-scenario. They were using tanks, airforce, artillery-with conventional weapons. The alquada linked "army-of-Islam" (funded by Saudi Arabia) did get very much media coverage-are journalists that stupid ? Does any terrorist group only have to send press-releases to the Main Stream Media to see it being brought as a fact ?) Russia will not tolerate any (major) western attack on Syria. China (and Iran, North Korea) supporting Russia in this view. Western military options are very limited. They could again attack a Syrian air base and than what ? Assad has already won the war. Any major-massive-attack will get a very strong Russian (etc.) reaction (in the Syria-region or elsewere, strait of Hermuz, Turkey shutting down Incirlik ? Ukraine). The political lies on "Assad using chemical weapons" most likely are not even supported by most western countries-let alone Muslim countries like Pakistan, Indonesia etc. They consider it as an attack on Islam. (VT claims Pentagon against military actions against Russia and Iran, CIA supporting it.) |

https://www.debka.com/syria-claims-homs-air-base-hit-by-missile-pentagon-denies/ and
DJ-Israel attacked Homs airbase, not far from Lebanese border-IS starts offensive-suggests coordination between IS and Israel. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/update-battalions-of-syrian-army-reinforcements-sent-to-south-damascus-as-anti-isis-operation-nears-details/ DJ-Syria may have plans to start an offensive against IS and "rebels" east of the Golan-heights. Israel want to show it will not accept that. Also by this action US knows how air defense works above Syria. Most likely US (and France, UK) preparing "actions". US has bases in Qatar with B1-B bombers, problem Qatar now works with Iran and Turkey wich also have military bases in Qatar. Also the Encirlik-base in Turkey may not be used for a major attack on Syria-Turkey will not allow that. US than has to operate from Jordan, Iraq, KSA. |

DJ; Should people be worried ? YES !!! Is it certain war will break out ? NO !!!
Both DefCon and Hal Turner coming with "Situation worse than Cuba-crisis: (1962) In my opinion a major risk is (a) conflict getting out of control. Saudi Arabia attacking Iran targets, Turkey shelling Syrian Army positions, Israel attacking Hezbollah. At this moment (2.09 AM in the morning in the Netherlands) most likely Russia, US, UK, etc may have had some sort of (maybe unfriendly) contact on their positions. But with so many players (and lunatics like Msb, Netanyahu, Boris & Bolton, Poroshenko, may) one wrong move could start "events". Still even if there is "limited action" this does not mean "global war" for certain-could stay limited....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV5H_C-idvg&t=1s Israeli News Live trying to stay updated. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6xqOXORZ3s "Texas News Studio" also live-text)
DJ-If NATO attacks Damascus and other Syrian targets (to kill Assad a.o.) I think it will be tonight, the coming 12 hours. This false flag event is planned months ago. To wait any longer would give Russia, Iran more time. I understand that the US military are against large scale attacks on Syria-they do not want war with Russia (for no good reasons). The western media is claiming "news"reported by alquada terrorists as proven facts. Shocking ! The (KSA funded) "army of Islam" was shelling Damascus-killing civilians. The present crisis could be used by others; -Israel may attack Iran (with Saudi (and US, UK ?) aid. -Turkey may invade (further parts of) Syria and Iraq -IS (rearmed by the US) may start offensives in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan (Not to mention India-Pakistan-China Kashmir-conflict, Russia moving into Ukraine when NATO attacks Syria) Most likely Putin will call Trump, maybe even Xi will call-and warn-Trump. Russia also will warn Saudi Arabia, Israel not "to start something stupid". The news I am getting from both DefCon and Hal Turner is NOT GOOD !!!! Both Russia, Syria,Iran and US,UK, (France, Israel) are preparing for war within hours. https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804081063345299-photos-iraq-syria-us-coalition-convoy/ I hope some sanity may win.... |

DJ-There are several reports from the "army-of-Islam" in Douma (East Ghouta) of being attacked by the Syrian army with chemical weapons. Those reports came after pro-Assad forces did push the "jihadi-rebels" back to the citylimits. https://southfront.org/jaish-al-islam-is-ready-to-back-to-negotiations-as-syrian-army-advances-in-douma-map-video/ and https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/video-jaysh-al-islam-begs-for-ceasefire-following-major-army-advance/ (DJ-the chemical attack-claim is part of the propaganda-war- the may have reached another ceasefire https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-army-rebels-declare-ceasefire-in-east-ghoua/)
Western reaction: https://southfront.org/trump-goes-nuclear-blames-putin-russia-and-iran-for-alleged-douma-chemical-attack/, https://southfront.org/old-new-story-msm-claims-70-people-killed-douma-chemical-attack-assad-regime/, https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/us-state-dept-blames-russia-for-attack-on-douma/ https://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2018/8-april-the-uk-foreign-office-has-called-for-an-urgent-investigation (DJ-The UK is happy that their Skripal story is not longer the main news; https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-07/skripal-gate-collapses-so-will-may-government DJ Starting Worl War 3 on a double case of food poisening would be pretty stupid !) Eastern reaction: https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804081063336939-moscow-intervention-syria-unacceptable/, https://sputniknews.com/military/201804081063336893-russian-air-defense-might/ Both http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/04/timelines-of-gas-attacks-in-syria-follow-a-similar-scheme.html and http://halturnerradioshow.com/ notice when Trump wants to pull back US forces from Syria there are claims of https://sputniknews.com/us/201804081063339665-us-syria-trump-attack-blames-putin-iran-chemical-attacks/ Most likely the outcome is another war-of-words, maybe even more sanctions against Iran (end of Iran-deal) and Russia. China is left out of sanctions although also China is part of "Eastern coalition". The more sanctions from the west the stronger the coalition of "the east". What "the west" keeps forgetting is that most countries slowly are moving away from "the west". The wars in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan in most countries are seen as western anti-Islam agression. (Wich Israel, India may welcome). Will Russia (Iran, China) tolerate any major western military action ? No-most likely they will give a very strong reaction. If the "west"does take action maybe via France or Israel-not the US or UK (maybe Danmark, Norway, Jordan, Netherlands may be used "to test the water"-will Russia shoot down a plane from such a country ? Will Russia attack the (Jordan) airbase ? The basic conflict is on the US uni-polar world versus the Russian/China multi-polar world, the US-petro$ or the China petro-Yuan ? The point is not the "Assad uses chemical weapons" nonsense the point is does the US want war with Russia (and Iran, China etc.) Such a war-in the worst scenario-will escalate very fast, will be very short, and will be the end of planet Earth. (It does not matter who was wrong or right when nobody is around any longer.) Turkey and https://iraq.liveuamap.com/en/2018/6-april-turkish-army-entered-19-kilometers-into-kurdistan DJ Turkey has its own agenda against the Kurds in Syria and Iraq-may confront any country that would support the Kurds. (US, France, Israel, UK) Iran wants Turkey to leave Afrin-NW Syria, both Iran and Russia not in a position to stop Turkey from their limited actions (by proxy). A confrontation between Turkey and an other NATO country in the region is quite likely-possibly stay limited. (DJ-I do not expect the US starting up from Incerlik-airbase to bomb Ankara.....or was that the claim Turkey made over the coup-attempt ?) |

I don't believe food poisoning either. There is no evidential correlation between the two. The relative's guesses sound fear motivated, not fact based.
She is in Russia. If Putin's tentacles can reach those in England, then Russia must be a riskier location This still does not mean he was the direct source. If a break away faction was behind the attack, then the iron fist of control has is even more greatly needed to prove his strength. |

Agreed on the: "Why still alive?" point - Russia is far more efficient, usually. More evidence it was a breakaway faction. Russian leaders can't admit to such things, as appearing strong is everything.
I am pretty sure it did come from Russia - all things considered. But, the international backlash may be exactly what the perpetrators wanted. Perhaps someone is after Putin's job. This would be a good first step. |

Techno,
I did put a quastion mark with my scarlet fever-and complications- theory. My trust in politicians is "very limited". http://theduran.com/skripal-case-misuse-intelligence/ and http://theduran.com/italian-leading-parties-condemn-expulsion-of-russian-diplomats-advocate-better-ties-with-russia/ Some points we may agree up on; -Putin may be willing to order to kill people (like May, Trump etc.) -there are nerve agents -there is also a lot of propaganda (from all sides) Still for me several questions; -why are the Skripal's still alive when the nerve agent is supposed to be that deadly ? -who wants the Skripal(s) killed ? The motives-could it be he was involved in illegal trading ? -could there be another cause of the Skripals health situation ? (Like-my suggestion-complications of scarlet fever-I do not know much of it-just asking) -Of course Russia would create a screen of fog when they were behind an attack on a former (double)agent-but would a car accident, robbery or something "more normal" not be an easier way to get "a message"over ? I am not convinced in the MH17 case Russia did it, also the Skripal story does not convince me. In my view Russia may be involved but other scenario's are also possible. On Syria, the story was that "moderate jihadi's" did get Libyan Sarin via Turkey/CIA-not that they made it themselves. In an earlier phase of the Syrian war I think Assad might have used chemical weapons. In the present phase of that war that kind of weapons would be counterproductive, work against him. https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/bone-of-contention-why-us-france-reportedly-dispatch-their-troops-to-manbij/ and https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/isis-could-be-readying-for-very-powerful-offensive-to-recapture-abu-kamal-in-southeast-syria-alarming-signs/ Assad is supported by Russia and Iran. Turkey is fighting against the Kurds (both in Syria and Iraq) and anyone supporting them (US, France, Israel). Russia, Iran and China want to "deal" with IS (etc) because they consider those groups as a major risk for their country. The US ( and NATO) claims to be fighting IS (etc) since 2001 in Afghanistan, 2003 in Iraq, 2011 (or so) in Syria-but the "western action" did make IS become a major problem. Israel once did prefer IS above Iran on its borders. Yet several intelligence groups have their doubts on it by now. |

Ps. Russians and Western Europeans are fairly closely related. Their history with scarlet fever is similar to ours. Native Americans and Australian Aborigines suffer the same symptoms as we do and they are from previously isolated communities, unlike Russians.
Oh, and annother thing, Russia has a history of murdering its double agents, Litvinenco's polonium and the poison pellet of ricin come immediately to mind. There is one point of obscurity. Russia's revenge attacks are usually fatal. Why not this time? |

Yes, of course, scarlet fever has no incubation period (the policeman) and leaves traces on furniture which then test positive for a nerve agent (table).
Seriously though, we do have scarlet fever, which is a regular occurence every year, but that makes it easy to spot. It is a bacterial disease and so is both culturable and visible with an optical microscope. I know we also have a Boris Jonston, but he is neither as stupid as he appears, nor tyical of British intellect. As to Blaming Russia, our Prime minister managed to convince a large swathe of leaders from other countries of Russia's involvemet. They can't all be nuts. Making novichoc agents is a complicated and technical thing. That reduces the chances of it being other than the product of a large country with (now or in the past) a history of WMD production. I suspect it was actually a break-away faction within Russia rather than Putin's instruction. But, the buck still stops with the boss even when his underlings missbehave. It was an unfortunate coincidence that Russia boasted of its murder of double agents at the same time. Finally, Russia is clearly behind the chemical weapons Assad's forces are using on his own people (Once again the effects of sarin and sabin differ from chlorine and the rebels do not have sufficient ability to make anything but the latter. They also have no reason to use them on their own people.) so Russia has a proven track record of chemical weapons use. Overall, I know we are fed a steady diet of propaganda, but I still remain convinced this came from Russia. The only bit I remain unsure of, is the precise source within Russia. Scarlet fever indeed! |

Skripal scarlet fever ? There is an outbreak of scarlet fever in the UK http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_desc&edis_id=EH-20180406-62504-GBR. Scarlet fever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_fever may have complications https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_fever#Complications like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_disease. Since the Skripals are Russian they may react different on both the scarlet fever infection, complications and treatment. It may be misinterpreted as a chemical attack ?

East-West relations
http://theduran.com/heres-why-the-us-failed-to-save-the-jihadis-in-east-ghouta/ DJ-The US did not intervene in Syria because Russia (DJ-and China, Iran-most likely others) would start a war if the US/NATO attacked pro-Assad forces in Syria. But that lesson means the US is no longer in control. http://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/world-news/2332-creepy-nuke-attack-video-from-russian-tv-orthodox-easter, http://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/world-news/2314-supersonic-b-1b-lancer-bombers-replace-b-52-s-in-qatar, https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/unconfirmed-new-pro-syrian-army-rebel-group-rises-to-fight-us-turkish-forces-in-syrias-north/, https://southfront.org/rumors-go-wild-as-local-partisans-wave-syrian-flag-in-us-occupied-city-of-raqqa-video/, https://southfront.org/videos-show-new-us-military-positions-near-syrias-manbij-is-this-trumps-withdrawal/, https://southfront.org/syrian-war-report-april-5-2018-russian-forces-shot-down-17-uavs-with-range-of-100km/ DJ-The picture I am getting is that Saudi Arabia is paying the US (or Trump ?) to keep forces in Syria. The official story is "to fight IS" only that is not what the US has been doing the last months ! UK-Russia https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-04/three-most-important-aspects-skripal-case-and-where-they-might-be-pointing Was Mr. Skripal himself in possession of novichek ? http://theduran.com/breaking-yulia-skripal-phone-call-leaked-everyones-health-is-fine-will-be-discharged-soon/ DJ-The 5-8 times more deadly than VX novichek was not deadly ?

Again East-West relations http://theduran.com/russian-envoy-to-nato-you-crossed-red-line-with-military-build-up/, http://theduran.com/china-retaliates-to-us-retaliation-to-china-retaliation-to-us-tariffs/, http://theduran.com/chinese-defense-minister-wants-to-show-america-how-close-china-and-russia-are-in-military-cooperation/.

The outcome is that even more money is spend on another insane armsrace, cold war. Instead of education, housing, healthcare, climate change "we" as citizens end up paying tax for destruction not solutions. http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/04/05/557502/Russia--Foreign-Ministry-US-military-activity-Korean-Peninsula-RIA Russia and China taking over North Korean stands ?

T-N-exit ? https://southfront.org/towards-nato-exit-shift-structure-military-coalitions-turkeys-alliance-russia-china-iran/ Turkey leaving NATO (with Russia/China protection) could be a next step. Gaza http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/49114.htm Shocking video's of Israeli snipers killing demonstrators in Gaza. https://southfront.org/erdogan-calls-netanyahu-terrorist-amid-mutliple-deaths-of-protestors-in-gaza/, https://southfront.org/uav-crash-in-lebanon-reveals-secret-israeli-weapon/ DJ-Hamas-in my opinion-is a terrorist organization. Some Gaza-Palestinians may have connections with Sinaï IS. Still as the video's show the use of deadly force against these demonstrators was disproportional. There is no need to kill demonstrators that are over 10 meters away from a border with gates, ditches etc. Even when those demonstrators would reach the borderline they would not be able to get across it. Teargas, rubber bullets, etc. would be enough for crowd control. The west not seriously protesting is another shame ! (DJ-The UK poisoningcase-in wich several countries took diplomatic steps-has made familymembers of the MH17 massmurder ask why those steps were not taken after the downing of the MH17 flight over East Ukraine. The west keeps claiming Russia did it-but no diplomat was send home while 298 innocent people were killed. In the UK case nobody got killed-it may even have been foodpoisoning-but the west overreacts.) https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201804021063128357-italian-journalist-fontana-skripal-opinion/ DJ-Lots of informed people must be getting sick from "western politicians". https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-01/interventionistas-outraged-over-trumps-syria-withdrawal-we-took-oil-weve-got-keep and http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/04/the-moa-week-in-review-and-open-thread-2018-14.html Syria https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-syrian-pro-govt-forces-claim-us-base-attacked-in-raqqa/ DJ-The Arab population now under Kurdish control-with US support-are getting tired of being occupied.

Bringing all of Arab East Syria under Kurdish control is asking for problems. https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201804021063130081-iraq-operation-syria-abadi/ (DJ-Such an Iraqi operation would be in East Syria were the US is protecting/renaming IS groups.)

Syria
DJ-There are some signs that Trump is serious in pulling out US troops from Syria. https://southfront.org/trump-freezes-founds-for-syria-signals-nearing-withdrawal/, https://southfront.org/citizens-raqqa-revolt-us-controlled-militants-russian-top-brass/. The US backed, Kurdish-led, "SDF" was controling also large area's with non-Kurdish inhabitants. (DJ-The Kurds only were a small minority in Syria. From the Kurdish perspective "Kurdistan" is for the Kurds. No borders defined-means some Arabs had to make way for Kurds. A lot of the Kurds in Syria may come from Turkey and Iraq.) The US: 1 Does not want more US forces getting killed in Syria, certainly not by another NATO-member; Turkey. When forced to make a choice the US has to drop the Kurds for Turkey/NATO. Turkey is essential for the US to keep a finger in the Middle East. (There have been reports of the US building a large base in Saudi Arabia (a.o. Debka reported it)-to replace US bases in Turkey and Qatar. In my opinion the US is likely to replace "strategic weapons"(a.o. nuclear) to that Saudi base-but the Qatar,Turkey bases will remain US bases). 2 https://southfront.org/turksih-media-says-french-troops-deployed-at-5-military-bases-in-northern-syria/ France, UK, Turkey want to take over control of East Syria oilfields. The US may have reached some kind of deal with Turkey as well. (There were some reporst of US forces moving out of East Syria-the US centcom claims that was "normal logistics") http://www.presstv.com/Detail/2018/03/31/557039/Russia-Syria-oil-arms-terrorists-Nusra-Daesh-Eastern-Ghouta Russia "rebels"still getting lots of weapons-rebel oiltrade as good as stopped. (DJ-There are some-very unlikely-reports of pro-Assad forces preparing action in East-Syria. Most likely Russia wants to find a diplomatic solution in talks with the Kurds. After Turkey took over Afrin the Kurds in East Syria-a minority in a large part of the area-not only face Turkey moving in from the north, uprisings of the Arab population is another risk, (pro)Iran forces moving in, logistics getting more difficult. The US seems te be rearming/renaming IS fighters. For the Kurds making a deal with Assad may be the best option when US support stops.) Iraq https://southfront.org/turkey-expands-its-ground-operations-against-pkk-in-northern-iraq-reports/ and https://iraq.liveuamap.com/en/2018/31-march-turkish-army-says-the-operation-to-clean-pkk-from DJ-Since the-almost civil-war against the Kurds inside Turkey is about getting control over flow of money (a.o. from the EU) and weapons/fighters Turkey want to take over control of borderarea's under Kurdish control both in Syria and Iraq. (DJ-Turkey and Iran may have an agreement on Kurdish seperatism-Iran also has a large Kurdish minority of up to 8 milion.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurds_in_Iran and https://kurds.liveuamap.com/ ). Petro-Yuan https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-31/china-plans-pay-oil-imports-yuan-instead-dollars DJ China has replaced the US as #1 buyer of oil in the global market. Although not directly visible in the Middle East wars China is the major player behind the scenes. (DJ-Due to Fracking the US has become the #1 oil producer with Saudi Arabia #2, Russia #3. Both Saudi Arabia and Russia are willing to make deals with China outside the US-petro-$, oil-for-goods often). DJ-China gave Venezuela "loans (in US$) for oil", Angola is accepting Yuan. Malaysia, Indonesia, several Arab/African countries are "happy to spread the risks" by doing some of the energy-deals outside the US$ system. How this will effect the US economy is mainly depending on how the US deals with this situation. (in the past countries that dumped the US$ for energytrade ware invaded. The US most likely will not start a war with China (and thereby all the China-partners, Russia, Iran etc.). I-DJ-understand the US need for better tradebalances. Trump his urge for reopening all kind of trade-deals is logical. Starting tradewars is stupid ! It would be in the best US interest to slow the Petro-yuan-but the US can not stop it. UK The "Russia tried to kill a former agent and his (visiting from Russia) daughter" story proberbly has to do with the UK-Brexit-problems and T.may's lack of support in even her own party. The UK cabinet most likely will switch to the "silence mode" "not to hinder further investigations", maybe even "privacy"as excuses. I-DJ-expect T.may not to be the UK PM by the end of the year. The US must be very unhappy with this story. http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/clinton-state-department-discouraged-novichok-discussion.html and https://sputniknews.com/analysis/201803311063106078-uk-skripal-cia-usa-poisoning/. DJ-The EU, NATO, etc did-for the public eye-give support to the UK. Most likely behind closed doors the picture may be "very different". A "hard"Brexit may be on its way. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/brexit-negotiations-tracker/

May is mad-and she is not the only one !
http://theduran.com/furious-china-ramps-support-russia-skripal/ DJ-The UK, NATO, EU and some other countries transferred a possible case of food-poisening into an international crisis. Of course this will have consequences ! https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-30/xi-jinping-and-kim-jong-un-make-korea-united-again DJ-Since most countries are "not western" the level of insanity produced by the west is making those other countries loking for a better alternative. Korean unification is coming insight-with North Korea willing to give up its nuclear weapons when the US is willing to leave South Korea-South Korea, PM Moon-can choose between a tradewar with the US and tradedeal with Russia and China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Group and https://www.quora.com/How-big-is-the-TATA-company India's Tata-group is not waiting for US tradewars. When the "west" has https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/03/31/dangerous-combination-bolton-and-boris.html to deal with foreign affairs-after the illegal wars against Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya can anyone seriously believe "the west" is "leading the globe in a good direction"? https://www.rt.com/business/422838-petro-yuan-dollar-gaddafi/ DJ-Gaddafi (the father) got murdered because he wanted to trade oil not for US$ (but an all African currency to fight poverty). (Gaddafi the son may become the next Libya president-no doubt backed by Russia, China etc.) DJ-China is tired of western insults and-already working with Russia, Iran, Pakistan. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-venezuela-china/china-rebuffs-u-s-criticism-of-relations-with-oil-rich-venezuela-idUSKBN1FP0ZF and http://www.africanews.com/2017/05/04/china-becomes-single-largest-contributor-of-africa-s-fdi-report/. The present level of western stupidity is pushing the rest of the globe away from the west. We deserve better leaders than this group of warmongers !

DJ-At the end of the Viet Nam war the US left South Viet Nam to do the fighting. De facto admitting the strategy did fail. In Syria-at several points in time-the US was ready-with (a.o.) Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel to intervene/invade. Most likely one of the reasons the US did not invade was fear for another Viet Nam, Iraq-scenario. DJ-I do not rule out the possibility of Russia, Iran, China demonstrating they could take over control of US weapons. They have been working hard on it-to take over drones etc. Also the story of a US Navy ship in the Black Sea were electricity was stopped-possibly by Russia may have soom truth. https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/03/27/russia-game-changing-weapons-that-were-not-mentioned-in-putin-speech.html https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-29/israeli-stealth-fighters-fly-over-iran-amid-speculation-imminent-war, https://www.debka.com/why-doesnt-the-idf-pre-empt-hamas-march-of-return/, https://iraq.liveuamap.com/en/2018/29-march-turkish-army-established-3-military-bases-in-northern DJ-Turkey, Hamas, other "parties" are not "in control" wich could give escalations. Israel testing F35's in Iran airspace gives a lot of info on Iran (Russia) airdefense. http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/elijah-magnier-how-syria-challenges-the-unipolar-order.html DJ-In my view "the west"simply had to accept the end of the unipolar-order. They do not like it, some countries may have to find a way to deal with it. Some "leaders" would like to go to war for it-the main reason we are NOT in world war 3 is that "the west" may loose this confrontation before it even realy started. (By cyber/electronic war, hyperweapons mach5+=6000km/4000m-per hour+) http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/she-is-risen-last-act-of-novichok-drama-revealed-the-skripals-resurrection.html DJ-The western "media/politicians" insanity is shocking. Since the short-term "war"strategy is not working-"the west"may go for demonizing Putin, China, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea etc. De facto "the east" will start spreading their influence from Northstream-2 (Russia-German pipeline) to "peacekeeping"in Afghanistan, Iraq. (Expect Trump to "reduce US forces" there as well. DJ-The only group that is winning by the US staying in the Middle East is oil/weapon-elite making money out of war.) https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2018/03/25/how-military-controls-america.html

Korea
Xi invited Kim-China continues cooperation with (North)Korea. Hints at Moon-Putin-Plan. Korea one state-two systems with China/Russia investments ? https://www.debka.com/israel-opts-out-of-us-eu-anti-russian-expulsions-its-intelligence-finds-novichik-stocks-in-20-countries/ DJ The Novichik-lies will backfire on T.may. Russian diplomats likely to be replaced/return. Russia will react-western countries can have the same amount of diplomats in Russia as Russia can have in the western country. Syria https://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2018/27-march-hezbollah-leader-claims-saudi-offered-to-cut-off Saudi Arabia willing to stop aid to "rebels"when Syria stops cooperation with Iran. (DJ-The "rebels"are as good as beaten. Assad depending on Russia/Iran-can and will not stop that support.) Iran http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/ap-sells-anti-iranian-lobbying-firm-as-independent-watchdog-group.html Basicly since some road-bombs in Yemen and Syria use Chinese wiring Iran has to be behind it. Just like to novichik-story complete insanity paid for by UK taxpayers. DJ-My impression is that the Russian message was very clear. An attack on Syria would be dealt with as if it was an attack on Russia. Most likely that goes for Iran as well. China will not accept (for now) any attack on North Korea. A new "balance of power" may be growing. This does not mean peace-still maybe limit the chance of a major conflict.

Yemen The United States appears to be preparing a very large strike upon Syria. U.S. Navy Guided Missile Cruisers and Destroyers have been formed into strike groups in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, in the Red Sea and in the Persian Gulf. Worse: Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reports US forces have trained terrorists in Syria’s southern de-escalation zone to use chemical weapons and are preparing a false flag attack, 20 tons of chlorine has been delivered to them. RUSSIAN FM SERGEY LAVROV: THE US, THE UK AND FRANCE ARE NOT FIGHTING SYRIA BY PROXY. US, BRITISH, AND FRENCH SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES ARE ON THE GROUND IN SYRIA DIRECTLY ENGAGING THE SYRIAN ARMY
Editor's Note: This has "DISASTER" written all over it. More details as they become available. Please check back. . .
UPDATE 12:04 PM EDT --France's foreign ministry tells reporters to stop all travel to Syria
DANGER: Russia has now said that unlike the last time, they will respond with military force and not only shoot down the missiles, but destroy whatever shot them. Satellite images show the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group in the Persian Gulf |

Turkey
https://turkey.liveuamap.com/en/2018/16-march-president-erdoan-holds-phone-conversations-with NATO chief and Poroshenko Ukraine. DJ-Turkey is a factor on its own in the Middle East/Asia/Europe/Africa. Erdogan seems to be looking for a neo-Ottoman empire. When Russia, Iran can help they are welcome, when IS can help https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/literally-hundreds-of-ex-isis-fighters-now-serve-with-turkey-led-forces-in-afrin-picture-evidence/ by renaming them-becoming part of "moderate rebels" like SDF-no problem. The US/NATO did everything they could to assist Turkey against the Kurds inside Turkey. In the past Turkey also worked with Israel, there is a Turkish minority in Ukraine/Crimea. DJ-Turkey still is in NATO, Erdogan still welcomes billions of EU€ to "take care of refugees". Is Erdogan part of a plan for attack on Syria (or with Ukraine/others even Russia) ? UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l9Gk38pvGc Israeli News Live-after the collapse of the Soviet Union the US did help Uzbekistan to deal with Soviet-chemical weapons. Western powers were in control of Novichok nerve gas since 1999. http://theduran.com/strange-case-russian-spy-poisoning/-why do so now ? (DJ-When asking questions becomes a crime democracy ends. The former spy was NOT murdered (yet), a "only Russia made" weapon was used against him just for the Russian elections. Why would Putin do so-and in this way ?Why exclude all other scenario's (just like MH-17 flight/mass murder-when there would be a claim the "Vagner Private Military Contractors did it-they have the knowledge. But that is not the western version) Results of US "invasion http://thesaker.is/what-results-when-u-s-invades-a-country/ The US/NATO destroyed Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan-was Syria next ?

"west"/NATO -Russia/China/Russian presidential elections mix with false claims DJ The goal is to influence Russian elections-could work for the opposite-give Putin more support. Claims on cyberattacks are always hard to proof. At the moment US/NATO is trying to tell the world they are the boss. Both Russia and China see that in an other way. https://www.rt.com/usa/421552-taiwan-travel-act-china/ US deepen ties with Taiwan https://www.rt.com/usa/421553-mattis-us-aid-saudi-yemen/ US support for Suadi Arabia reduces casualties http://theduran.com/anatomy-american-propaganda-takes-name/ US: Putin has to go There is not any proof of Russia being behind a chemical attack on a former spy https://www.debka.com/two-israeli-soldiers-killed-in-palestinian-car-ramming-attack/ Israel will react CuriousWatcher wrote: ↑well i can't say that for sure but i kinda doubt it. As far as i am informed, russia asked the UK for a sample of the used poison to analyze it but UK refused to give it. So this may be just a unproven claim that russia had actually to do with it. I guess we need to wait and see what the future brings. As i mentioned in my earlier posts, just keep an eye on this strange situation for now. Noone knows what russia may be up to. I will dig and wait for news on the current events and try to keep this topic up to date with news. Also, this is not for RU - UK relations but for RU - US ones. A litte though by me: Russia is said to want to kill an ex-agent whom Russia had imprisoned for years and who could have eliminated it much more inconspicuously. Russia uses a poison that is ONLY available in Russia and is excellently detectable, leaving a thick, fat neon-faded fingerprint as a "claimant" at the scene. Moreover, Russia is too stupid to kill the target and pulls in 20 more bystanders. But the most important point: Russia does not do that at some point, no! But quite by chance shortly before the presidential election and the FIFA World Cup in their own country to get the most attention possible. France Foreign Ministry tells reportes to stop all travel to Syria; head of French army, Francois Lecointre, says French army ready to act if needed - Reuters

Syria
DJ-It starts to look like preparations are being made for major NATO intervention in Syria (against Russia-risk of major escalation-"west" shooting missiles-Russia bringing missiles down--further escalation.)http://theduran.com/nato-uses-uk-poisoning-hoax-to-push-for-conflict-with-russia-video/ https://www.defconwarningsystem.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=11662&start=20http://www.newsli.ru/news/world/politika/28776: +++ Info still unconfirmed +++ RUSSIA SHIPS ROCKETS AND WARSHIPS TO SYRIA - AFTER THE USA PREPARES ATTACK ON SYRIA +++ The info is still unconfirmed and is not commented by the Russian army. Some Russian media report that Russia is increasing its Syria contingent after the US constricts its warships and submarines (with cruise missiles) in the Mediterranean, despite the Russian warning that the Russian army will respond to a US attack. Accordingly, the US and some "allies" are preparing a massive attack on Syria - from the Mediterranean, as well as from Cyprus, Iraq and Jordan. According to the US threat of attack, Russia increased its number of warships off the Syrian coast from 15 to 20. The two Russian frigates "Admiral Essen" and "Admiral Grigorovich" were armed with "caliber" cruise missiles. The two landing ships "Orsk" and "Minsk" were also laid, each carrying up to 400 Marine Special Forces soldiers (special forces) or 45 infantry combat vehicles. Turkish media claims there were up to 1,000 Russian marines on it when they passed the Bosphorus the day before yesterday. The Russian submarine hunter frigate "Pytlivyj" is off the coast of Syria today, along with several Russian submarines, the exact number of which is unknown. In addition, there is also the transfer of about 20-30 other Russian fighter jets Su-30CM and air superiority fighter Su-35, along with 2 to 3 of the latest (not yet in service) fighter jets Su-57 ("T-50"). Released in the last two days and other air defense complexes S-400, and coastal defense missiles K-300 "Bastion" (up to 600 km range), so the unconfirmed infos. http://www.newsli.ru/news/world/politika/28776 Addition: France ready to attack syria with the US Chief of the French General Staff, Francois Lecointre, has confirmed to the French radio station Europe-1 that France is ready to attack the sovereign Syria together with the USA and to destroy all bases with "chemical weapons" and "camps". France would take "the right" and intervene in Syria. |

Technophobe, there is disagreement on who is the agressor so also were appeasement is coming from.
The UK is in a Brexit-crisis. The European Medical Agency https://www.ft.com/content/4abde47b-1b6c-32e9-95cb-db363013b74e is moving from London to Amsterdam. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/mar/15/unilever-brexit-rotterdam-hq-london Unilever did have two HQ's (just like Shell) Londen and Rotterdam. (Shell has a HQ in The Hague https://www.shell.com/about-us/contact-us.html#iframe=L2Zvcm1zL2VuX2NvbnRhY3RfdXM=).Unilever closing its London HQ (and maybe Shell doing the same soon) must be a nightmare for Theresa May. In my opinion the present-cold war-crisis is between the "old" west (US, EU, Australia, Japan) and a "new"east (Russia-China-New Silk Road). The present crisis-just before sunday's Russia presidential election is organised (by the west) on-at best-weak claims of Russia making Trump win the US election, causing Brexit etc. Also the chemical weapons claims in Syria-now (a new case) in the UK are not very strong. (The used poison is not only available for Russia, Russia did not have a clear reason to kill this former double agent.) NATO did move east, NATO countries invaded Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan-were behind the Ukraine coup. Let me be clear though-IF Russia was murdering people somewere in Europe for its own reasons it is an act of agression. Just like the US picking up people from EU streets because they believe the person to be a terrorist (a person with the "wrong" name-his name was also on a wanted-list-ended up in Guantanomo. ) The US deploying its Delta force without permission in Italy (then this force around a hijacked airplane in Sicily was surrounded by Italian special forces) etc. Referring to history-https://www.amazon.com/I-Paid-Hitler-Fritz-Thyssen/dp/B0006APEIW Hitler worked for UK-French intelligence under German veterans after w.w.1. The nazi-party got financed by German and western "elite" (from Henry Ford, the Bush family, to several European royals-most with German family in leading positions in Germany even during the war). Let's hope we are saved from another major war. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-15/natos-stoltenberg-slams-reckless-russias-attack-dont-want-new-cold-war

There is no REASONABLE doubt that either Russia, or a breakaway faction within Russia organised the Skripal attack. Either way the buck sill stops with Putin. Everyone across the West knows this and Russia knows we all know.
Where diffrences arise is what to do next. Using a chemical weapon, outside wartime, that can only come from the chemical labs of an industrialised country, that is used against international treaties and provably so, is a fantastically bold move. To us, it looks as if Russia is treating us with absolute contempt. I would not know what the next move should be, but it must be brave and strong or Russia will just laugh louder. Chamberlain taught us where appeasement gets you. |

Problems; -China is the world main energy importer -Russia, Iran, Venezuela are not under "western control" and have a lot of oil. The level of insanity and madness the "west" goes to in getting control of energy is going out of control. Climate change is one good reason to get rid of fossil fuels, endless wars is another reason. Syria https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/03/14/trumps-jihadi-chemical-weapons-factory-captured-in-ghouta-in-living-color/ Syrian Arab News Agency showing a chemical weapons factory they claim was in jihadi-hands.

Is using a poison with Soviet fingerprints the most likely way-just before the Russian elections-for Putin to deal with a former GRU-agent released by Russia ? A robbery or accident would raise less questions. ) War Starting a war with Iran, (North)Korea (against the will of South Korea) or "(further) intervention" in Syria may be overstretching NATO. https://www.unian.info/politics/2389424-hungary-blocks-nato-ukraine-defense-commission.html The "west" is at war in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, several African (semi)states-supporting countries like Ukraine, Saudi Arabia in more-endless-wars. Of course selling weapons is a main source of income http://dimdex.com/ for the US, UK, France-so wars are always welcomed by their "politicians"-now Russia and China are taking that market as well. What is the use of war when you can not make a profit out of it ? The Russians and Chinese are a danger to "free enterprise". Not only do they trade energy without "western" control (a.o. US-petro-$) they even make their own weapons ! (With Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia buying them). Since the world is "owned" by a small rich elite only interested in getting more power another war is unavoidable.

https://www.debka.com/trump-shakeup-at-the-top-pompeo-us-secy-of-state-gina-haspel-cia-chief/ DJ-Netanyahu has good relations with Putin. Israel needs the US for war, Russia for peace.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/03/13/unconfirmed-russia-reinforcing-syria-for-trump-netanyuhu-onslaught/ DJ-Russia sending a very clear message to the US, UK, Israel: Stay out of Syria ! I list this as “unconfirmed” simply because this was leaked to us for publication with a purpose. What that purpose is and whether the information is true or not remains to be seen. However, this comes from sources “highest” and includes a message we believe is intended for US, Israeli and Saudi commanders planning to hit Syria over the misreported/fabricated gas attacks. Not to belabor the point but the idea that the Syrian Arab Army that is totally kicking the ass of the terrorists in East Ghouta is more than unlikely to resort to using chlorine gas. The idea is demented and the US government and mainstream media makes me sick. Ah, but I am getting off subject. Anyway, Damascus is under both Russian and Syrian air cover tonight, with sonic booms shaking windows. Dean thinks planes are aloft to keep them safe from Trump’s tired Tomahawk missiles. Whatever the reason, it is a show of force. More important, Russian sources say they have put the entirety of Israel and Lebanon under an air defense umbrella of newly deployed S400 batteries flown into Syria and quickly deployed over the last 24 hours. Additionally other systems, all under Russian command, stand ready to shoot down any American planes that attempt to carry out the attacks promised by Trump over the last 24 hours as expressed by America’s UN Ambassador Haley. Now we wait. Trump promised to attack Syria if they continue to fight against the US backed terrorists that have been attacking civilian areas of Damascus for over 5 years. Russia just told Trump to, as Kurt Vonnegut would have put it, “Take a flying f%& at a rolling donut, take a flying f#%% at the moon.” Trump might well chase that rolling donut, he has chased everything else. The gauntlet is down. What I don’t want to see is American pilots killed or paraded through the streets of Damascus. They are still our boys even though I sometimes wish they didn’t take orders from the “grocery clerks” at the Pentagon so freely. |

DJ-I take http://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/world-news/2203-the-back-story-what-brought-north-korea-to-the-bargaining-table very serious. The US may have been thinking of using 20 nuclear weapons to destroy NK facilities at 100/150 meter (300/450feet) depth in the ground within a few weeks. In my opinio it is a stupid plan: 1-those weapons will spread radioactivity by themselves and by destroying nuclear installations. 2-such an attack would start NK attacks on whatever is in reach (proberbly including Japan, Guam, sleeper-cells in the US/EU) 3-such an attack is unacceptable for both Russia and China. It is a "first-strike"form of battle-wich the US could also use against them. 4-all peacefull ways have to end-a real risk for the US-with NK realy pointing ICBM's and proof for usage should be there before you even consider such a nuclear attack. Killing millions of Koreans, possibly starting world war 3 is not something one can do.

Both US and UK know how to make the same "secret" poison from the seventies.) http://theduran.com/skripal-case-theresa-may-now-demands-russia-prove-itself-innocent/ DJ-The UK can not proof "putin did it" so now "Putin has to proof he did not try to kill someone who was playing a role in the Clinton claim of Russia trying to control the US elections".

Syria
Afrin-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvEvNOtIwp8 Israeli News Live is correct on the US/NATO/Gulf States support on the genocide in Afrin on the Kurds. The Turkey-Kurdish war is going on for decades in Turkey supported by NATO. The "Free Syrian Army" (alquada etc.) did sell Kurds on Gaziantep-Turkey slavemarket, did "take Kurdish young girls" as "bride". http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/syria-the-fall-of-two-cities.html DJ-It is no coincidence that while Turkey is taking over Afrin (and the Kurds for the 5th time refused to be part of Syria http://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2018/11-march-today-the-syrian-government-offered-the-kurdish-so they may end up under Turkish/FSA terror) pro-Assad forces are taking over East Ghouta https://southfront.org/map-update-military-situation-in-eastern-ghouta-following-liberation-of-madiera/#disqus_thread and http://syria.liveuamap.com/en/2018/11-march-eastern-damascus-assad-forces-also-made-some-progress and https://southfront.org/media-accuses-syrian-army-of-using-chemical-weapons-after-militants-defense-collapses-in-eastern-ghouta-map-video/ SW-Syria Korea The world was surprised by the announcement that North Korean Leader Kim Jung Un sought a meeting with US President Donald Trump, and that the President accepted. The mass-media was quick to presume the meeting was sought because sanctions against North Korea are beginning to hurt. That assessment is wrong. Those in the Intelligence Community were decidedly NOT surprised by the requested meeting; they knew what _really_ brought North Korea to its senses: The newly reinforced USS Wasp putting to sea last Monday with F-35B Stealth jets . . . and (at least) twenty, B-61-12 nuclear bombs. North Korea was literally one week away from being nuked . . . on March 16 beginning at 8:11 AM eastern US time. |
