That begs the question of who your employer is, and what agenda you are pursuing.

My current guesses are “a foreign power” and “one directly opposed to vital interests of the American people”, but you may certainly have the opportunity to change that opinion by supplying contraindicative, verifiable information.

Yeah I see now. I read one post that confused me. That’s why I said a big “if.”

Interesting how CNN has been “fake news” and Deep state unreliable and against Trump until they support your desired paradigm.


Here it is straight from the Trump White House:

If I didn’t think you were flat-out lying, you’d be in huge trouble if that were true. Turns out that you can’t just spill classified info to the public in order to feel good during an Internet argument - that happens to be a felony.

So... did you make it all up? Or are you breaching national security laws by making such claims?

Inquiring minds - potentially including actual investigators - want to know.

There is nothing classified that’s been posted. And there is nothing remotely rational about your defense of Assad. Your whole attack on me is just inane, too.

Everything you need to know is available in open sources. You just choose to believe Assad offer Trump.

Earlier...

> A lot of what I get you have no access to.

Now...

> There is nothing classified that’s been posted.

I believe we have established beyond any reasonable doubt that you are simply a bald-faced, flat-out liar.

Which once again raises the question: specifically, on whose behalf are you lying to us?

Assad is the enemy. Hizbullah is the enemy. ISIS is the enemy. Al Nusra is the enemy. The other rebels groups are our enemy. There are no real friends in the Middle East for the US, simply groups that are less horrible.

I’d say Israel is our friend, but stuff like the USS Liberty incident gives me pause. The Kurds are a better option than many groups, but I wonder how nice they’d be once they get what they want. The Saudis are mercenaries and have their Wahhabism brand of Islam.

We should stay the #*$& out of the Middle East, save our coin and blood, and let them kill each other.

Why bother debating with a chicken-hawk who thinks the US = UN = World Police? He’s worse than John McLame.

He probably owns stock in defense contractors and is salivating at the prospects of increased dividends.

A little birdie told me Assad woke up with a horse head dead camel with a USMC brand on its butt, in his bed.

Thanks for your common sense reply. Seems to be a real shortage of CS here lately. Here is your reply again:

Its not just FR - its everywhere online. Almost every single alt right radio/youtube commentator I’ve been following daily for the past couple years is running around like a chicken little blabbering about the coming WWIII - Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Mike Cernovich, everyone at infowars, Lionel Media, Paul Joseph Watson, Stefan Molyneux etc ect.

I have great respect for all these people but what they have been saying since this Syria strike is really making me question their understanding of geopolitics and how Trump operates.

Bill Mitchell and Scott Adams are the only two I’ve seen talk about this that aren’t freaking out with war fears.

Trump and Putin will play nice in a few weeks and team up to finish off ISIS in Syria so Trump can build his safe zones. Assad will be forced out and Putin will replace him with a puppet that isnt friendly to us but is manageable.

Meanwhile the more important issue: China will take care of N Korea for us as was requested by Trump. This was his plan all along and it appears to be 100% working.

We are not going to war with Russia. Not gonna happen.

First off — it’s very unfortunate that someone saw fit to leak how we gained intel on Syria. Loose lips sink ships. They might have assumed that we coordinated with Israel or even the Saudis.

Secondly ....

Unless there’s something in the report [I admit I didn’t read it] it’s very wrong to assume that we could have prevented this attack.

We have tons of raw data in electronic communications but NEVER enough analysts. So normally [unfortunately] we only know what key words to search only AFTER something terrible happens.

This can improve with better automation, and I bet it will a few years from now — something that ought to be suggested to the Pentagon BTW. Time for the military and intel community to get mentally flexible. Trump would be willing to cut a deal with Google [for example] to learn how to automate searches better.

This is a better article because it publishes a report. As this is not CNN, I assume document not tampered with though I am not familiar with this site.

Bad things happen when people cannot or will not question their government.

My point is source

IF this is true, the intel damage is done with this release.

They may as well release the tapes of the communication, and identify those in the conversation.

Otherwise we’ll just think they are LYING again.

There are no lies, and there is no way that I can convince you. You believe assad and putin. I can tell you without revealing any classified information that President Trump is telling the truth. If you say he’s lying, and that I’m lying, and that you believe assad and putin, that tells me whose behalf you’re working for.

It can be lethal:

"The lethal dose for a 70 kg (154 lb) human is estimated at 5–10 g.[23] Sodium fluoride is classed as toxic by both inhalation (of dusts or aerosols) and ingestion.[27] In high enough doses, it has been shown to affect the heart and circulatory system. For occupational exposures, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have established occupational exposure limits at 2.5 mg/m3 over an eight-hour time-weighted average."

CDC - Sodium Flouride

I think the humor of how these lying Elites from Kerry to McCain to Condi Rice escapes you from your post...

This was stockpiled somewhere in Syria. In the same way it is stockpiled by our own water companies here in the U.S. —

and then declared to be a terrorist chemical attack.

While I absolutely agree that there should be no fluoride put in our water here and it probably IS a terrorist act for American municipalities to put it in our water, this was a 2013 hoax. Meant to confused the masses.

We are dealing with occult Elites who are out to deceive and destroy and trick even President Trump in to doing their bidding. Lord have mercy.
