Let me rewrite this.... Trump stood up to an evil man who used chemical weapons on his own people. He may have won me over today.
The Syrians are wining. Assad is winning. ISIS are on the cusp of defeat. Why would Assad & Syrians use chemical weapons when they are in such a strong position?
The devil is the Prince of this world. He was a liar and a murderer from the beginning. Those who have power in this world are at his service; if they weren't they would not be where the are. I have been thinking a lot recently about George Orwell's book, '1984', which was highly prophetic. One of the things he said was that the worlds powers would eventually coalesce into major blocks which would compete against each other. The fact that we happen to be members of one of these blocks does not make us either the, 'Good guys' or the, 'Bad guys'. We just happen to be members of a particular football team. My spiritual director told me one time if I wanted to know what is going down in the world to stay away from the media for a few months and simply pray about it all. So I did. It has left my utterly cynical about the lies we are constantly fed, from all quarters.
I too am utterly cynical about what we are being told. I wish I could remember who said this but he was talking about people who go to Washington with ideals but before long they are compromised—through blackmail or bribes or promises of power. Then he said about 98%of US congress and senate are like this. SAD. No wonder nothing ever gets done. They are puppets with strings. That leads back to the deep state! Is it any wonder that Pres Trump is so savagely attacked and threatened?their comfy sinecures are threatened. I give him credit for trying to clean up this mess. I pray he succeeds.
Yes, there was nothing to win for Assad with such an action. Interesting how they interrupted the interview...Use of poison one day after Trump talks about pulling back. They probably needed something to change his mind. Theodore Postol of MIT says there is no concrete evidence linking Assad to the attack: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/mit-expert-claims-latest-chemical-weapons-attack-syria-was-staged-1617267 Good that the military attack of the Western alliance was a limited blow so far. Nobody can seriously believe that this happens to protect women and children. If so, one would also have to fight for peace in Yemen. The UN has spoken several times about the biggest humanitarian disaster there. But with Saudi-Arabia there is a "partner" at work who is continued to be supplied with weapons. In Syria, a regime change is wanted to implement one's own claims. The use of Gift in 2013 and 2017 by assad is unconfirmed: "...Mattis offered no temporal qualifications, which means that both the 2017 event in Khan Sheikhoun and the 2013 tragedy in Ghouta are unsolved cases in the eyes of the Defense Department and Defense Intelligence Agency..." http://www.newsweek.com/now-mattis-admits-there-was-no-evidence-assad-using-poison-gas-his-people-801542 The first Iraqi war was based on the incubator lie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony The second one also was reasoned by lies: Colin Powell: "We All Believed Weapons Of Mass Destruction Were There! But They Weren't": and Lie After Lie After Lie: What Colin Powell Knew Ten Years Ago Today and What He Said History is full of examples all over the world. Who is interested could read about confirmed actions of Nato´s secret armies even in own countries. It is a dissertation published in 2005. Such actions took place in many Western countries. https://libcom.org/files/NATOs_secret_armies.pdf The connection between prophecy and current events could be that Russia eventually sees itself forced to strike a pre-emptive strike. Not unlikely for me, but not now.
Not to mention that the strikes began on April 13, 2018. 101 years to the day when Our Holy Mother came down to Fatima in what might have been the most powerful manifestation from heaven since the times of Our Lord. And in Akita she wept 101 times. Coincidences? Time will tell.
I'd love to see who confirmed t his list. I call bull shit. Turns out, sources reporting on chemical attack in Douma are sponsored by West
This is agonizing. I hate to sound like Pilate but what is truth? Mattis says there is unequivocal proof that Assad did this. He is an honorable man respected for his integrity. On the other hand we know the deep state is capable of trying to provoke war to attain their ends. And where is Israel in all this? My head spins. “Only in God will my soul be at rest...” and good advice from scripture “place not your trust in princes..”
At least one of the three targets was a research and development center for chemical weapons and I believe the others may have been at the level of the components which still have to be assembled. But such strikes would interrupt this chain of production of future weapons and delay at least their use. Seems like Assad has a certain dependency on these weapons since his own supplies of other weaponry isn't that strong. And I doubt if Russia wishes to get that involved in such major support which would ask for a lot of monetary investment of which they're lacking....why Putin permits Assad to still make use of such horrendous choices and Assad is his current ticket to his foothold in the ME. And Assad doesn't want to give Putin the idea that he's giving more power to him in that region so he uses what he still has regardless of Putin's thinking.
For one thing, Assad, worse than his father, is a thug and bully. The place he bombed, once again with his choice of chemical weapons with which he has a history of using, btw, was rebel held and a suburb of Damascus. So he went where he could regardless of collateral damage. It appears that afterwards those rebels gave up so Assad got his satisfaction. Why anyone thinks there are still any angels remaining in that entire region, now entered into and abetted by a world super power, Russia, is beyond me. And Russia is there to stay, via Assad at the moment, assisting Iran in its nuke goals, enhancing terrorist support against Israel, etc. And it's all spilled out of Syria as certain prophecies have predicted....and thanks to the evil Obama.
