Footage of chemical attack in Syria is fraud
Russia Today ^ | September 06, 2013

Posted on 09/07/2013 1:10:40 PM PDT by NYer

There is proof the footage of the alleged chemical attack in Syria was fabricated, Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib, mother superior of St. James Monastery in Qara, Syria, told RT. She says she is about to submit her findings to the UN.

Mother Agnes, a catholic nun, who has been living in Syria for 20 years and has been reporting actively on what has been going on in the war-ravaged country, says she carefully studied the video featuring allegedly victims of the chemical weapons attack in the Syrian village of Guta in August and now questions its authenticity. 

In her interview with RT, Mother Agnes doubts so much footage could have been taken in so little time, and asks where parents of the supposedly dead children are. She promises to send her report to the UN. 

The nun is indignant with the world media for apparently turning a blind eye to the Latakia massacre by rebel extremists, which left 500 civilians including women and children dead.

Russia’s Foreign Ministry has called on the international community to pay attention to revelations made by Mother Agnes Mariam el-Salib. 

RT: The United States has used internet photos and video footage of the supposed chemical weapons attack in Eastern Guta to build a case against the Syrian government. Have you been able to look at these files? What do you have to say about them?

Mother Agnes:

I have carefully studied the footage, and I will present a written analysis on it a bit later. I maintain that the whole affair was a frame-up. It had been staged and prepared in advance with the goal of framing the Syrian government as the perpetrator. 

The key evidence is that Reuters made these files public at 6.05 in the morning. The chemical attack is said to have been launched between 3 and 5 o’clock in the morning in Guta. How is it even possible to collect a dozen different pieces of footage, get more than 200 kids and 300 young people together in one place, give them first aid and interview them on camera, and all that in less than three hours? Is that realistic at all? As someone who works in the news industry, you know how long all of it would take.

The bodies of children and teenagers we see in that footage – who were they? What happened to them? Were they killed for real? And how could that happen ahead of the gas attack? Or, if they were not killed, where did they come from? Where are their parents? How come we don’t see any female bodies among all those supposedly dead children? 

I am not saying that no chemical agent was used in the area – it certainly was. But I insist that the footage that is now being peddled as evidence had been fabricated in advance. I have studied it meticulously, and I will submit my report to the UN Human Rights Commission based in Geneva.

Russia’s Putin has such compelling evidence of fraud that Harry Reid refused to look at it. No joke.

So is the so called evidence intel agencies have provided.
They know so much about Assad, but know NOTHING about Benghazi.
I will take the word of this nun before I believe this administration.

I think it’s this:

She’s an Assad mouthpiece.

http://www.fanoos.com/society/mother_agnes_mariam_of_the_cross.html

In an interview in October 2011 with Thierry Meyssan, (a French intellectual, founder and chairman of Voltaire Network and the Axis for Peace Conference), Al Oum Agnes expressed her disappointment with the Catholic press which blindly follows what is dictated by the masters of the world and that just repeats like a parrot what the mainstream media spreads.

[Thierry Meyssan is author of books of the 9/11 “truther” meme, IOW, Ron Paul’s supporters like him]

Obama is the shill for the Muslim Brotherhood. That's all. Pray for the people of Syria!

I dont have to take anyones word.
Another post above stated she’s an Assad mouthpiece and gives
info. showing that.

I’m a devout Catholic with a close relative who is a Catholic nun(LCRW type though). I am against Obamas’ military intervention there. Its a very confusing , murky,grey issue but I come down on the side of Christianity which means I dont want intervention against Assad, at least not now.
