The new report, entitled "Possible Implications of Faulty U.S. Technical Intelligence," was published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Science, Technology, and Global Security Working Group. It was written by former United Nations weapons inspector Richard Lloyd and MIT Science, Technology, and National Security Policy Professor Theodore Postol. Among other major concerns, the two experts in the field found that despite official claims and "intelligence," the August 21 nerve-agent attack in East Ghouta "could not possibly" have come from the center or even the Eastern edge of regime-controlled territory."
That's a large problem for Bellingcat which will become evident in their work on Ukraine. Why couldn't they place the origin of the attack? Isn't that their claim to fame? Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh further destroyed the "underwear man" @bellingcat story which was corroborated by Turkish police.
MIT professor Theodore Postol then pulled the carpet out from under Elliot Higgins by explaining to him that Bellingcat's smoking gun evidence (hexamine) wasn't unique to chemical weapons. The composition is found on any battlefield because it is common in most explosives.
Elliot Higgins and Bellingcat information dominated the headlines even though he struck out on the facts.
On April 4th 2017, Bellingcat and the Atlantic Council once again scooped the world, delivered the headlines and the Intel the US government acted on. Assad had once again used chemical weapons on the Syrian people on April 4th 2017. And they even covered their tails in case they were wrong. Their expert report was based on assumptions they think are true. This happens when you need to grab a headline the same day from thousands of miles away based on relevance instead of substance.
From Bellingcat's report- "Another issue is that, if the Syrian regime actually did believe that the warehouse stored chemical warfare agents, then striking it deliberately was an act of chemical warfare by proxy."
According to the victims, Higgins shouldn't have given up his day job. Testimony from victims points to the Salafists, Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood insurgent coalition as the culprits. Leading member of the UN commission of inquiry Carla Del Ponte told Swiss TV that there were "strong, concrete suspicions but not yet incontrovertible proof" that ISIS did it..
"Patrick Lang -- a former DIA(Defense Intelligence Agency) Colonel -- does not mince words about the US attacks on Syria. Lang claims that Donald Trump's decision to launch cruise missile strikes on a Syrian Air Force Base was based on a lie." @INTEL_TODAY
According to the experts at Swedish Professors & Doctors For Human Rights (SWEDHR) the chemical attack in Syria was staged.
"Nothing about what was going on outside the room and other evidence that would have been important in order to evaluate the correspondence between the life-saving procedures and the agent that was producing those injuries... It is absolutely necessary for an expert to examine that evidence -- what is a fact, what is a fantasy, what is a fake and trying to deceive the public with the political purpose of establishing a no-fly zone in Syria which would have enormous consequences in geopolitical terms."
The images of the White Helmets in action show scenes that are beyond absurd for treating people that have Sarmin poisoning. Without gloves, respirators, and wearing sandals the White Helmet show must go on.
The problem with the story is that Syria's president Assad didn't have chemical weapons to use. He is trying to free his country from foreign Salafists, Al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood. He isn't fighting a rebel insurgent coalition. The link above interviewing former DIA Chief Mike Flynn makes that painfully clear.
Even publications that are against Assad don't understand the logic of a chemical attack by him. He is winning the war and defeating ISIS. It looks like they'll be on the propornot list soon. And it looks like the second strikeout for Bellingcat in Syria. Assad is trying to save his people, not kill them.
What is Weisburd and Watts reaction to this? Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Dennis Kucinich, and Ron Paul are all working for Vladimir Putin because of their principled stand on Syria.
Now if you've been paying attention, you are witnessing a buildup of facts. YOU are not on Vladimir Putin's payroll and neither are 65 million other Americans. American and other western news sites and journalists are not on Vladimir Putin's payroll. Assad did not attack his people with chemical weapons in 2013. All evidence is pointing to the fact he didn't attack his people with non-existent chemical weapons in 2017.
