Postol, formerly a scientific advisor at the Department of Defense (DoD), has previously outlined similar inconsistencies with US intelligence reports. Following the 2013 chemical weapons attack in eastern Ghouta, Postol again said the evidence did not suggest Assad was responsible – a finding that was later corroborated by the United Nations.

In his latest reports, Postol hit out at what he says is a "politicisation" of intelligence findings.

Postol said: "No competent analyst would miss the fact that the alleged sarin canister was forcefully crushed from above, rather than exploded by a munition within it.

More evidence that the Syrian rebels not Assad's government was responsible for the chemical attack.

The so called "intelligence" community and the media can not be trusted.

Doesn’t matter. It’s the message.

The massive and powerful US intelligence apparatus must, almost by definition, be highly politicized. Just look at Trump's first 90 days in office - and the intense display of political maneuvering taking place.

Combined with the national media and oligarchic social media, we can only assume that what the US public sees is pure propaganda.

We don't have “competent” Deep State analysts.

Welp, we know how DJT will react so if it was a successful false flag I feel certain we will see another thus kicking regime change into high gear.

US Intel most likely actually heard the orders being given and the discussions among the troops.

Never trust a professor's biased expertise about warfare.

Be careful, some other FReepers may come here to declare you to be a “Putinista” for posting something at odds with the Establisment’s story line. I know, I’ve been called a Putin lover several times.

Yes, but we know it is the seriousness of the charge that matters.

Postol’s criticism is well worth paying attention to. He’s been on target before.

A guy named Tareq Haddad reporting on Yahoo News about something a University professor said that The UN corroborated.

Yeah. I'm gonna believe that.

Maybe if Haddad had worked a Hollywood actor into the equation.

Yawn. You can always find a contrarian Chomskyite “expert” to attack the USG.

Your real problem is that Syria and Russia sure have been spinning out the usual agitprop, distractions and acting guilty.

Hey, Detective, why are you posting trash news from YAHOO, a NOTORIOUS anti-Trump “news” organ about a fruitcake leftwing lib Theodore Postol?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodore_Postol

This is more crap designed to undermine Trump and I am surprised to see it posted here as legitimate news. Postol is a guy with an agenda. And its not to benefit Trump OR America.

I think people make a good point that the videos show workers with bare skin exposed working on gas victims. Any veteran with NBC knows that just doesn’t look right.

Who cares if it was staged. It was an excellent opportunity for Trump to take over, and boy did he ever. The second he launched those missiles, “Russia Gate” died, and we had the first positive movement vs. North Korea since the Clinton-Albright treason in 1994 that led to their nukes.

So what Intelligence is the MIT professor looking at? And how and why does he have access to said reports and speaking to the media?

This ladies in gentlemen is what we call speculation. Which means absolute dick. An “expert” shouldn’t speculate and if they do, they state that their opinion is just speculation. If you speculate and try to pass this is anything other than speculation, you are not an expert.

It was a fake sarin gas attack, and Trump responded with a fake missile attack.

If you’re the best know thief in town, and something goes missing, it’s your own damn fault if you get blamed.
