Originally posted by Discount Whore I'm not entirely convinced everybody claiming SAA isn't just a shill.
US foreign policy in relation to Syria has fallen apart. Their goal from the beginning was to depose Assad and put a US-friendly dictator in his place, largely to give some semblance of legitimacy to their plans of forcing their gas pipeline through the country. Breaking one of Iran's strongest allies in the region (one of the reasons for smashing Iraq too) was another reason.
The details of why they've failed so hard aren't really important here, but their current play (likely the last thing they can try short of all-out war) is to convince the Syrian Kurds in the north to secede from Syria, giving them a puppet state that will allow them to build their pipeline and have a military presence. This seems to me like wishful thinking, considering the Kurdish militias are working with the SAA and have handed over huge swathes of land they cleared of Jihadists. Declaring an independent state would also put them at the mercy of Erdogan and his Kurd murderboner without the protection of the SAA.
So now it's a race to Raqqa, the last real ISIS stronghold. The US means to take it before the SAA/Russia so that they can use their proxies (mostly Iraqi Kurds led by Barzai) to try to declare an independent state to the north. The corporate media is jumping at any chance to demonise Russia and the SAA, and in this case you only need to look at the rhetoric the neocons are spewing to see that they intend to use the 'chemical weapons bogeyman' to justify much larger military deployment to the US public.
PS. it's no coincidence that this has been pushed into the spotlight so soon after the US declared that they've officially abandoned their 'Assad must go' mantra. -

Originally posted by Totse 2001 Something like that. but what are they looking for.. money gone missing? It's fiat related anyways. audit the gold reserves or silver that "back it?" why didn't this occur under Obama or Bush? why now? see.. they're fucking with him.
it's more a matter of giving them some degree of oversight as opposed to free reign to create and destroy money at will (to the benefit of certain groups), which is how they operate now. The USD hasn't been backed by gold since Glass-Steagall I think - if anything it's backed by the energy (petrol and gas) economy now.
Bush and Obama were part of the 'political class' and had no intention of making meaningful change - any such bill would likely have been vetoed of it got far in their administrations. Even though Trump's fallen in line on a lot of issues like Israel and corporate bailouts, he's still 'radical' in some areas. -

Didn't the house just recently pass a bill mandating auditing the Federal Reserve? -
2017-04-05 at 6:13 AM UTC in Conflict ShitpileAssad has nothing to gain from using chemical weapons - it's never been proven that he has in the past; as a matter of fact the original sarin attack in Ghouta, which Obama used as a 'red line' to officially get involved in Syria, was definitely not launched by Assad/the SAA and quite likely engineered or at least enabled by the Turkish intelligence services. For more information you can check out the interviews with the head of the UN investigation team, Carla de Ponte, and the excellent article by Seymour Hersch "The Red Line and the Rat Line". Further, Eren Erdem is facing treason charges for giving RT details of instances where Turkish nationals were released without charge when caught smuggling nerve agents and precursors into Syria.
On top of that, after the Ghouta fiasco Assad turned over all of his chemical weapons stocks for destruction.
The SAA and Tigers have completely reversed all rebel gains over the last few months - they're in a position of strength, not desperation. Given that and the physical evidence, I believe the official SAAF version of events.
Like I said though, once I'm more familiar with the facts on the ground I'll post a proper thread on it -

I wish, but there are too many expensive hoops to jump through here and you'd go to jail if you ever actually did use it in self defence. I do have a friend that managed to get licensed and bought a five-seven, he's since moved to the US though. -

Originally posted by aldra SYRIA - Sarin gas attack reported the other day, of course Assad has been personally blamed by the popular media. I'm still researching but so far the story doesn't add up at all - nerve agents kill within minutes, victims apparently agonised for much longer. The bodies do not bear the standard indicators of death by nerve agent. The White Helmets have claimed the gas was delivered by an AtG missile, but the supposed crater is maybe 2ft or half a meter in diameter.
I'll post a thread when I've got more information.
The SAAF has reported that the toxic gases were likely chlorine or mustard gas - they had used an airstrike to destroy a rebel facility nearby which turned out to be a chemical-weapons storehouse, causing the release of some of the chemicals. -

Originally posted by Darth Beaver That's not what Bob Lazar told me over drinks.
Robert Scott "Bob" Lazar (/ləˈzɑːr/; born January 26, 1959) claims to have worked on reverse engineering extraterrestrial technology at a site called S4, in the Emigrant Valley and Old Kelley Mine area near the Area 51 test facility. Universities from which he claimed to hold degrees show no record of him.
though he does run United Nuclear which is.... something. I hadn't heard of them for years, their site still looks like it's from the early 2000s -
