SouthFront “F–k Trump”: Infowars’ Alex Jones Fiercely Reacts To Trump’s Strikes On Syria (Video)

InfoWars founder Alex Jones slams US President Donald Trump over his decision to authorize military airstrikes on Syria. InfoWars and Alex Jones personally were among the key supporters of Trump’s presidential campaign and have been among the key supporters of Trump since the start of his presidency. To paraphrase an old proverb, "Hell hath no fury like a supporter scorned."The tell will whether Alex Jones loses his audience (26 million a month, 82% in US).Incidentally, FaceBook has banned...

Pat Lang — Not a bad outcome, but … (editorial comment)

So far, so good, but there is a built in future menace in what is being said of this attack program. It is that an absence of future attacks is contingent on an absence of supposed future chemical attacks. Therefore it is easy to see that whenever the rebels/jihadis want the government attacked they can stage manage more chemical attacks. IMO if that occurs there would be an inevitable escalation of targeting until the core combat assets of the R+6 are the targets. Sic Semper Tyrannis...

Jon Schwartz — Donald Trump Ordered Syria Strike Based on a Secret Legal Justification Even Congress Can’t See

On Friday night, President Trump ordered the U.S. military to conduct a bombing attack against the government of Syria without congressional authorization.

The deeply bizarre and alarming answer is that Trump almost certainly does have some purported legal justification provided to him by the Justice Department’s Office of...

Craig Murray — Just Who’s Pulling the Strings?

It is also worth noting that the most ardent supporters of this military action, outside Saudi Arabia and Israel, are the Blairites in the UK and the Clinton Democrats in the USA. The self-described “centrists” are actually the unhinged extremists in today’s politics. This attack on Syria is, beyond doubt, a huge success for the machinations of Mohammed Bin Salman. Please do read my post of 8 March which sets out the background to his agenda, and I believe is essential to why we find our...

Claire Connelly — Long Wars

Canadian analyst, Stephen Gowan’s new book, ‘Washington’s Long War on Syria‘, reveals how the US colluded with The Muslim Brotherhood – the ideological precursor to Al Qaeda and ISIS – to destroy Ba’ath Arab Socialism in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Libya, and install permanent free-trade zones that serve US interests across The Middle East. From Syria, to Iraq, Iran to Libya, our understandings of the long-wars in the Middle-East as moral, humanitarian interventions designed to democratise and...

Christiane Hoffmann — Why Intervening in Syria Is the Wrong Move

It could be that this tweet will go down in history like the German Empire's declaration of war on Aug. 1, 1914, or like U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell's 2003 presentation at the United Nations ahead of the Iraq invasion. As a document that historians will analyze when retracing the road to ruin. But perhaps nothing will come of it. Perhaps Russian President Vladimir Putin will ignore the provocation. And that hope serves to illustrate the lunacy we are facing these days: The...
