PART I
For three years now, it’s been alleged and that Syrian government forces have systematically used helicopters to drop chlorine gas on civilians in rebel-held areas of the country. Amid repeated efforts to impose new sanctions on Syria over the widely accepted charges, another reminder was dropped on March 25: a direct chlorine attack on an underground hospital in Hama province was said to kill at least two, including a surgeon, Dr. Ali Darwish (photo below). [1]
But a critical analysis of the evidence contradicts these allegations in myriad ways. Ongoing open-source research by myself and the community at A Closer Look On Syria has followed from the start. I’ve re-packaged the growing body of findings repeatedly for the OPCW, select diplomats, and the public. [2] Here is another attempt to provide a long but readable overview of that, in two parts. Some general problems and observations wrapping around two cases examined in detail, each of which has a family of six dying, suffices to raise the main points.
Together, the findings illustrate that, despite all the declarations of certainty, the Syrian government is almost certainly not dropping chlorine on its people. Instead, as outlandish as it may sound, it’s quite likely that Islamist opposition forces in Syria are behind all of these events. Surprisingly specific and hard-to-deny visual clues suggest rebels are murdering the victims themselves using different methods, and lodging false claims as cover, and to shift the blame. The evidence behind that is not secret, and plain enough for anyone to see. But, so far, the people in charge just haven’t looked closely enough, and no one in the media has pushed the issue. And so the true chlorine story, at least as we see it, remains unspoken and invisible to the masses, so far.
Some General Problems
Chlorine gas can harm and even kill because it forms corrosive acids on contact with water, causing severe damaging the soft tissues like eyes and lungs. Yet it has many legitimate purposes, is easily synthesized, and remains quite common. It could easily be obtained by opposition forces. In fact, by credible reports, they’ve used it against government forces and civilians, in little-noted attacks from late 2012 onward. [3]

4chan’s best investigators very methodically laid out in photos how those White Helmet turds are simply ISIS or AQ guys, can’t remember which.
They got sloppy and lots of the same guys going around all PeacAndLove in those helmets also took a ton of photos cutting off heads, etc.
Do NOT trust the WH’s.
They are both the same, sometimes simultaneously.
John McCain’s homies.
Praise Jesus. The Truth is spoken!! This was never Syria. Remember how you were told “ SARIN”. Total lie. No evidence. Now its Chlorine. No proof. Why would the sovereign government of Syria gas its own people. Isis manufactured and deployed Chlorine gas HUNDREDS OF TIMES!!. They used Chlorine gas over 80 times in Mosul alone. Their gas factory was captured by the Syrian army and displayed for the world near Palmyra. This entire bull crap is pushed by a lie to overthrow a sovereign elected government that has done nothing to our country. It is pushed by John McCain and vested monied interest and it is not TRUE!
