US, France, and UK In Direct Talks Over Possible Syria Strikes
“That
has to be, in the history of propaganda in the 20th and 21st centuries,
one of the most outrageous claims that I can think of,” John Bolton
stated in response to Moscow's charge that anti-Assad
insurgents in Idlib are preparing a chemical false flag in order to
hasten a US attack on Damascus, according to a new Wall Street Journal report.
“Along with the United States and France, we have been clear that we will respond swiftly and appropriately if the Assad regime repeats its appalling use of chemical weapons,” he vowed, echoing statements the national security advisor began making weeks ago during a trip to Jerusalem.
The WSJ has revealed the White House is now in direct talks with the U.K. and France over plans for a possible third round of coordinated strikes on Syria should the Syrian Army use chemical weapons during its Idlib assault.
After a speech in Washington on Monday, Bolton told reporters, “We’ve been in consultation with the British and the French, who joined us in the second strike, and they also agree that another use of chemical weapons will result in a much stronger response.”
The news comes a day after Bolton indicated during a speech that the US and its allies Syria would respond with much "stronger" and harsher action against Damascus.
Also, early this week there were reports that Germany is mulling over whether to agree to a request by the United States that it join any potential strikes on Syria, though such a move is expected to be too politically divisive for Germany to agree.
Thus far a Russian air attack on Idlib is underway, with international reports saying about 70 strikes have occurred on Idlib in the past days. Syria pro-government forces have amassed around Idlib Province and are said to number as many as 100,000. If true this would be the largest mustering of Syrian forces for any single battle throughout the seven year long conflict.
Meanwhile the United Nations has warned of an impending humanitarian disaster, and a UN Security Council meeting chaired by the US is set to be held on Tuesday morning, according to the WSJ.
On Monday the WSJ reported that unnamed US officials now claim to be in possession of intelligence which they say shows Assad has already given the order to conduct a chlorine gas attack in an absolutely unprecedented level of "pre-crime" telegraphing of events on the battlefield.
The anonymous officials told the WSJ of "new U.S. intelligence" in what appears an eerily familiar repeat of precisely how the 2003 invasion of Iraq was sold to the American public (namely, "anonymous officials" and vague assurances of unseen intelligence) — albeit posturing over Idlib is now unfolding at an intensely more rapid pace:
However, this time the stakes are much higher as Russia has built up an unprecedented number of warships in the Mediterranean Sea along the Syrian coast in response to prior reports that the U.S., France, and Great Britain could be preparing an attack.

Meanwhile, does anyone remember this fake news from 15 years ago?...

Fears of a massacre have been fueled by new U.S. intelligence indicating Mr. Assad has cleared the way for the military to use chlorine gas in any offensive, U.S. officials said. It wasn’t clear from the latest intelligence if Mr. Assad also had given the military permission to use sarin gas, the deadly nerve agent used several times in previous regime attacks on rebel-held areas. It is banned under international law.It appears Washington is now saying an American attack on Syrian government forces and locations is all but inevitable.
However, this time the stakes are much higher as Russia has built up an unprecedented number of warships in the Mediterranean Sea along the Syrian coast in response to prior reports that the U.S., France, and Great Britain could be preparing an attack.

‘You condemn us because we are not a nation of migrants,’ Orban tells EU before sanctions vote
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban delivered a fiery speech
to European lawmakers in Strasbourg, before they began deliberations on
suspending the country’s key EU rights due to his government’s policies.
“Hungary will not accede to this blackmailing, Hungary will protect its borders, stop illegal migration and - if needed - we will stand up to you,” said Orban, who was re-elected with an overwhelming majority in April.
Calling the proceedings an “insult” to his nation, Orban called Hungary the “defender of Europe” and spoke of its “different view on Christianity in Europe, the role of nations and national culture.”
“These differences cannot be a reason to brand any country and be excluded from joint decisions. We would never go as far as to silence those that do not agree with us,” said the Hungarian prime minister, as the majority of the chamber sat in silence, while his mostly Euroskeptic supporters cheered.
Article 7 is applied if an EU member state presents a “systemic threat” to the bloc’s values, which Hungary was adjudged to have done in a report by Green MEP Judith Sargentini earlier this year, and could result in Budapest losing its voting representation in various European bodies, becoming a pariah state in the union.
It requires for two-thirds of MEPs to vote in favor of accepting the report on Wednesday, after European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker delivers his annual State of the Union speech.
This is considered likely, but all the other EU nations would then need to agree unanimously to punish Budapest. Such consensus has never been achieved, meaning that Article 7 has never been implemented, and is not likely this time either.
Hungary has vowed to veto the application of similar sanctions to Poland, under its own investigation, and at least Warsaw will likely return the favor.
One setback for Orban, however, was the decision by Austria’s governing center-right party People’s Party to back the report. Hungary’s northern neighbor appeared to be on the verge of joining the Visegrad Group of four anti-migrant European states (which also includes Poland, Czechia and Slovakia) when Sebastian Kurz won the election last year.
All the same, Orban retains the support of one notable Europarliament presence.
“Thank God there is at least one European leader prepared to stand up for his principles, his culture, his nation and his people in the face of such extreme bullying,” said former UK leader Nigel Farage, who called the proceedings against Budapest “a show trial.”

Filming of staged chemical attack in Syrian Idlib begins - Russian MoD
Filming of staged chemical attack in Syrian Idlib begins - Russian MoD
Footage, meant to serve as proof that the Syrian government has
conducted a chemical weapons attack in Idlib, Syria, is to be handed to
global news outlets by the end of Tuesday, the Russian military claims.
It also said that an Islamist group was provided with two canisters of a “chlorine-based chemical” for the purpose of the operation.
The Russian military said the footage would include scenes of White Helmets operatives treating supposed victims of an apparent barrel bomb chemical weapon attack by Damascus.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that a false flag chemical weapon attack was being prepared in Idlib, giving the US and its allies justification to attack Syrian government forces. Senior US officials have threatened Damascus with retaliation if it uses chemical weapons in Idlib and even preemptively assigned the blame for any such attack to the government.
Speaking at the UN security Council meeting on Tuesday, Russia’s Ambassador Vassily Nebenzya, stressed that Damascus did not possess any chemical weaponry to begin with. Any incident with such weaponry would only benefit the militants, fighting Syria’s government.
“The false-flag attack by the adversaries of Damascus, who count on foreign armed support, is very possible. We have irrefutable evidence of preparations [for it],” the official stated.

Trump Executive Action on Social Media Censorship Being Blocked by Insiders
Older heads within administration don’t realize huge threat posed by Big Tech purge
Potential executive action to
address the widespread Big Tech deplatforming and censorship of
prominent conservative voices is being stymied by administration
insiders who are oblivious to the threat and have convinced President
Trump to put the issue on the back burner.
Infowars has learned from a source
close to the administration that executive action on the matter was
planned as soon as this week, but that it has likely been delayed yet
again.
Several people within Trump’s inner
circle know the threat to the mid-terms and his re-election chances that
social media censorship poses, including Donald Trump Jr. and Brad
Parscale, his 2020 campaign manager.
However, older members of the
administration are completely unaware of the fact that banning prominent
online voices and manipulating algorithms can shift millions of votes
and are oblivious to the danger.
This ignorance has placed a temporary
block on Trump taking action, despite the president repeatedly referring
to Big Tech censorship in tweets and speeches over the last few weeks.
A petition
calling on the White House and Congress to take action to protect free
speech in the digital public square has also received almost 125,000
signatures.
If tech monopolies are not stopped in
their effort to purge conservatives from social media, the next step is
that the left will lobby to have their political adversaries blocked
from being able to engage in commerce and use payment processing
systems, which already happened in the case of Islam critic Robert
Spencer when Mastercard lobbied to have Spencer removed from Patreon and GoFundMe.
