Rand Paul: Syrian Chemical Attack A False Flag

Rand Paul: Syrian Chemical Attack A False Flag
Either that or Assad is ‘dumbest dictator on the planet,’ he says

The chemical attack allegedly perpetrated by the Syrian government is most likely a false flag, according to Senator Rand Paul (R-KY).

When asked by CNN’s Wolf Blitzer if stalling Russian sanctions was the right move for Trump, Paul directed the topic to whether or not the chemical attack in Syria was even genuine.

“I think before you talk about sanctions, we oughta talk about what evidence is there that Russia was complicit in this attack,” Paul said on Monday.

“In fact, for that matter, I still look at the attack and say Assad either must be the dumbest dictator on the planet or maybe he didn’t do it. I have yet to see evidence that he did do it. The intelligence agencies claim they have that evidence. But think about it: does it make any sense?”

“He’s been winning the war for the last couple of years,” he continued. “The only thing that would galvanize the world to attack Assad directly is a chemical attack. It killed relatively few people compared to what can be killed with traditional bombs, traditional machine guns, traditional tanks. And so you wonder, what logic would there be for Assad to be using chemical weapons?

“So before we get to the Russians, we have to first determine that Syria was implicated, and then we outta determine what the connection is between Russia and Syria on this attack.”

OAN has a reporter in Syria and the city it happened in. The city is normal. From what the people and doctors told him this looked like a set-up. Doctors said everything was normal then men bust in to room hollering a chemical attack and begin washing people eyes out with water all the while filming. Doctors did not know what was going on so they helped. After filming the people left. Doctors said they so no one that had any signs of a chemical attack. The eyes were normal which would not be the case if there was a chemical attack eyes don’t remain normal

Yes l believe Trump got played. Hopefully he will back off. Congress is not going to give him permission to go into Syria. I’m sure he knows that. He can use that to put the brakes on.

USA is being led by trillions of dollars of all powerful, dark state. Now the military-industrial complex is in full play; they with Gen. Eisenhower told us about.

See an interesting investigation at the hospital objective report

“Ever notice that people who hate liberty only debate by using profanity?”

You know, sometimes is makes good sense to call a spade a spade! Most of the time, when referring to politicians of all stripes, “colorful language” is the only tool that can be used to adequately describe the individual(s) under discussion. And yes, it does have everything to do with liberty.

Assad may not be a boy scout but the people that want to overthrow him are radical islamists. They lost their abiltity to set up shop in Egypt. Libya is a bloody mess with factions killing each other. Why is everyone so quick to believe that Assad is the most evil guy on the planet and the “freedom fighters” are, Eagle Scouts. If McCain is with them, then there’s something not right.

Tulsi Gabbard goes there, on her own, and gets a completely different story than the one we’re being fed and then she is cast out, in the same way that Paul is. Why can’t they be right?

More and more is coming out that the whole thing was staged and BS. Who is to be believed?

Obama got us in that mess, knowing that someone else would have to clean it up. They all thought it was going to be her. Now it’s President Trump. We don’t need to be wasting anything, Tomahawks or troops, on Assad’s revolution.

No one has proof of anything, except the word of the terrorists, I mean Freedom Fighters, saying it was a chemical attack. One that you wouldn’t be able to run thru.

They say he used Chlorine Gas, right? Do yourself a favor to test the theory that you’d be able to run after inhaling that. Find someone that has a pool and uses a chlorinator, with the big tablets. Open the chlorinator and the pale that holds the tablets and take a big huge whiff into your lungs. You’ll be on the ground choking as the chlorine starts getting into your lungs.

And, according to our very own Sec of Defense they still have no idea who did that.

This interview showed to me what I like Rand. Like a responsible legislator he wants to see the intelligence and make an informed decision.

Indeed if I had to name ONE senator that would NOT impeach Trump, his name is the only one.

What’s crazy? Feel free to explain.

Because if you think that what I said was crazy, in support of Rand Paul, then you without question believe the government and MSM, when they tell you that attack was carried out by Assad. Gen Mattis, himself, stated that they didn’t know who committed the attack, just days prior to the bombing. They still don’t know who carried out the previous “chemical attack”.

But you believe the same intel apparatus that spied on Candidate Trump, and associates, illegally. You believe the same intel apparatus that tried to and continues to get rid of the President. And you believe the MSM that for, what, 2 years now, has been trying to destroy the President and this country with fake news. And, you think we should be the worlds policeman and stand up for everyone, at the taxpayer’s expense, risk a great deal and gain nothing.

Yes.... there were recorded eye witnesses to the govt helicopters dropping the barrels (barrels!!) of chlorine gas— not sarin which would have “markers” but primitive chlorine gas (binary agent) which dates from WWI in technology.

This attack was on Alawites and.... Christians. Assad has enemies in his own religion group— the Alawites. And Alawite Christian allies against Assad. Entirely possible.

The russians making the most of the propaganda opportunity to support their client Assad.

One other potential— the “moderate” rebels (or some of them) turned to aid Assad... and work as doubles to keep the “action” going for US handlers to justify US continued presence and expense of the 105 cruise missiles (price tag, for replacing this stock?). And the added benefit of draining the landmark money just approved to re-build our Navy, submarines and F-35 and F-18 fleets and spare parts to keep them flying— that is... this hinders this effort, and thus empowers the “obamaumao” de-stabilizers and still pay Lockheed. One other line of thought.

Yeah— “journalists” including from the Guardian (the commies and Russian agitprop)— who are known experts in chemical weapon verifications.

Big gap in logic here (as well as including Boris Johnson with Nikki). Misplaced skepticism— be skeptical that there are not EXPERTS first.... and INVITED in by Assad. Which would be what a “winner” Assad would do. The opposite action points to russkie propaganda. Journalists, indeed.

BTW- am also a skeptic but one requiring a far higher standard of proof, and especially not like Scott what’s his name from the UN “inspectors” for WMD in Iraq. Just sayin’.

From the start the accusations against Assad made no sense, and the evidence was lacking. Either Trump got played or he lied - probably the former.

Well the folks I'm referring to were from OAN and the UK Independent and both conducted extensive man in the street interviews days ago, visiting the hospital, going to the neighborhood the alleged attack took place, visiting the Al Qaeda tunnels, talking to random people, etc. By their own account no police or military interfered or obstructed them either...they were free to look around.

This will prove invaluable when the "experts" you're referring to try to run their patented 'let me inform you what happened' propaganda game on the English speaking public.

Sorry deep state media, we've already seen and heard from independent journalists who have been there making inquiries, video-taping and reporting their unbiased impressions, so no BS from you...thanks anyway.

IOW the truth genie is already out of the bottle in Douma and no amount of Heather Nauart/Nikki Haley/Dana White blathering will put it back in.

> So maybe the rebels provided a good excuse for us to bomb them and save face in in the international community by “punishing that bad evil man Assad”????

That is my thinking...in a land where it is tough to tell good guy from bad guy. See the vid at the top of this post:

So Trump was duped by the Mccain Haley and elements of deep state intel perpetuating our “moderate” rebels aka al Nusra, alqaeda and the white hats (who are the same thing)? This was a huge waste of 105 missiles. Tucker Carlson interview with former UK ambassador to Syria— who says the sites we did bomb had already been inspected and cleared as NON- chemical weapons facilities. FWIW the Q crowd says “we were set up” and that might very well be the case. And, not too fine a point- the minute Bolton comes online. The doctors of the hospital who have been there when under the thumb of the ISIL and now are still there under Syrian Army (Assad’s people) are saying there was no gas attack but regular Syrian bombing which the “white helmets” (who are touted as the same as the mujahideen/al nusra/alqaeda) began shouting “gas” when there wasn’t any. This is some scam and mccain and hitlery are laughing then. And... the Bush people. And... obamaumao’s Iranian pals who have 20K Iranian militia on the ground in Syria. Sheesh.

It is a false flag.

The others were likely looking to plant evidence.

Rand would be a great, great president—but I doubt he could be elected.
