Chemical Weapons are Not the Reason for War in Syria
Chemical weapons is the simple line of BS that they are feeding the public as a reason for US troop presence in Syria.
Technically, tear gas is a chemical weapon, it's even banned for use in warfare according to the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.
Yet the U.S. will use it on crowds of protesters no problem. As far as I am concerned this conflict isn't at all about tear gas (or chlorine gas for that matter). It's about the construction of a pipeline, and who will control the flow of oil, and ensuring that it is exchanged for Federal Reserve notes.
Our monetary system retains it's value as long as people trade oil for it, because oil is always in demand, and it is valuable. Our dollar is not valuable on it's own, so if people stop trading their oil for dollars, then the dollars rapidly lose their value and our currency collapses.
It is why they call the U.S. dollar the petrodollar, because that is what's propping it up (oil). I have a couple of videos that you might be interested in. The first one is very entertaining, and if that one whets your appetite enough, and you want to dig deeper, the second one is very interesting.

The U.S. dollar is one of the largest Ponzi schemes in the history of the world. The controlling interests of the board of the Federal Reserve, they want to insure that that remains the case at all costs.
So when wars are sold to the public, they have to strive to manufacture some kind of righteous reason for U.S. to go to war. This is because armies are made of men, and grown men don't want to fight and put their lives on the line for stupid reasons, or fraudulent monetary systems.
So they use the fourth branch of government (the media), to sell us on other reasons to go to war with the target country. Fact of the matter is this war was already planned, and in the works.
It is one of the seven countries that Gen. Wesley Clark had informed everyone was on America's hit list since just after the 9/11 attacks, another bogus pretext, designed to get the ball rolling, and take out nation states in the non-integrating gap.
Chemical weapons were used against children in the US 25 years ago.

Yup it's an easy excuse for monsters to do monsterous things I agree. My 2 cents is that a black hat could give an unstable person the push they need to do something horrendous and then blame anyone they want. It's too hard to identify each chemical after the fact and syptoms can be faked with all sorts of nasty potions.......
Pretty much hits the nail right on the head
Thanks, it reminds me of,
you must hve remembered!
Totally agree - it's so blatantly obvious that the real reason for war is to maintain the status quo that benefits the few powerful individuals at the top.
And we dance and we dance to the tunes they play. Flag waving puppets, fighting for Freedom and to "protect our way of life". And what is this way of life we are protecting? War, corporate profits, the lifestyles of the Elite. Thanks for the post. Blessings.
Well said Sir.
Blessings,
to you too!
Also chlorine technically is not banned under CPCW despite naming it along side sarin as a illegal CW.
Yep, I was speaking of lachrymator, which is a riot control
agent, and prohibited by the CPCW as a method of warfare.
I'm rather doubtful about the pipeline hypothesis. I've followed the policy and seen the maps; but America hasn't been good about following through with or executing successful strategic infrastructure development since the Marshal Plan and I don't see any sign this has changed.
Duly noted, what hypothesis do you subscribe to?
Why do you think the United States is so interested
in the ouster of Assad, or the occupation of Syria?
Dualing pipeline proposals: Qatar–Turkey pipeline, Iran–Iraq–Syria pipeline
Leviathan oil basin in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is likely the primary reason for turning Syria into slag. Jews already shelled Beirut to oblivion, Egypt is under a Western puppet regime, ISIS is still a relevant force in the region to disrupt flow of oil. With Israel the only politically and economically stable nation-state in the atea to develop Leviathan oil basin, the Western petrodollar hegemony has an insurance policy against the Sino-Russian resource axis. In a sense, this proxy war is about the very survival of the modern West.
I'm not certain about it, but I think the opposition between Iran and Saudi Arabia is the root of it, and Israel and Turkey have involved themselves mainly out of choice. Meanwhile, at the geopolitical level Russia, China and NATO are interested in how the conflict unfolds, because the future of the global order is being defined there, the UK is tied at the hip to Saudi Arabia and the US to Israel, Russia is seeking to secure its near abroad, and China doesn't want the conflict to flare up sending the wider region and eastern Europe into war and damaging its economic vision.
Interesting, what is it about there do you suppose defines the future of the global order?
You're trying to get at the strategic value of the Middle East?
That aside for a moment, I think it is geopolitical accident that chooses a certain focal at one time or another for the contestation of the global order.
Now as for geopolitical strategy, the multipolar global order that the US/NATO resists is an order even more globalized where the connexion between the East, Africa and Europe, the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean, will be essential, as will be the Arctic, Americas and Pacific.
The US/NATO seeks to control how the new global turns out and in the geopolitics that plays out, the Middle East is now the focal point particularly because the regional competion going on is so hot and the geopolitics drawn in for one reason or another, that the importance is magnified.
In the nuclear age, a regional war can thus easily turn into a limited world war then from a world war into a nuclear war. The last world wars weren't so different in this regard.
The pipelines, highways, railroads, water basins, etc. - I don't believe - are not the prime motivation of the US/NATO. These have much regional significance. But in the post imperial era less significance for the great power rivalry.

I agree with everything you said with only one exception. The fourth branch of the U.S government is our Grand Jury's and Petite Jury's who decide the fact of the case and the law.
The Grand Jury Belongs to The People-Antonin Scalia (1992)
As proof: Supreme Court
United States, Petitioner v. John H. Williams, Jr.

No doubt, it may be a polyseme.
New word for me Polyseme. Cool thanks.
