Star investigative reporter Sy Hersh has exploded the lie that Syria used Sarin gas to attack Syrian civilians in April, an incident Trump used to justify bombing a Syrian airfield. Now a gullible media is helping Trump to gin up another fake sarin attack and a reason to again bomb Assad's forces, writes TCBH! journalist Dave Lindorff

I'm no opponent of gun ownership (got my first rifle at the age of 12 and am still a crack shot).

George W. Bush started the Iraq War, justifying it based upon a Big Lie and fabricated fake evidence of WMDs. Nancy Pelosi said "Impeachment is off the table." Trump diddles around bullying a small-time leader to help his 2p2p campaign and Pelosi says the fate of our republic is at stake if he's not impeached. What gives writes TCBH! journalist Dave LIndorff
