OPCW Finds No Chemical Weapons at Syrian Facilities Bombed by US - Russian MoD
Sputnik News ^ | 04/25/2018 | Sputnik News

Posted on 04/25/2018 10:26:20 AM PDT by WisconsinRep

Last week, the fact-finding mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) visited a site in the Damascus suburb of Douma to collect samples in connection with the alleged April 7 chemical attack.

Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the Russian General Staff Col. Gen. Sergey Rudskoy has announced that the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) had confirmed that there were no chemical weapons found at the Barzeh research center in Damascus despite the US officials' claims.

The official further noted that thousands of people could have died if there was any chemical weapon on the sites that were attacked by the US-led coalition.

"Immediately after the attacks, many people who worked at these destroyed facilities and just bystanders without any protective equipment visited them. None of them got poisoned with toxic agents," Rudskoy said.

He said the logic of strikes on alleged facilities with toxic agents in Syria was unclear, because if toxic agents had theoretically been stored there, tens of thousands of people would have died after the cruise missile strikes.

I, for one, can’t wait to believe this fake news.

I actually believe this 100%. The recent chemical “attack” is so transparently fake that (of course) our response to it would be fake, too. Not saying Russians are our buddies (though they should be) but this whole series of events smells like theater, the goal of which is to keep the US entangled.

The Swamp set the president up with another of their typical False Flag events.

There you have it. We've successfully destroyed all of the chemical weapons.



Now, let me tell you a little bit about my wife... Morgan Fairchild.

Syria and Russia were warned as to the targets....and cleared the area of people.

The world has heard very, VERY little from Syria or Russia, Russia, Russia since WE took care of some long overdue business. Kinda makes you go, “Hmmm?”

This is the kind of information that anyone reporting it on the alternative media/YouTube would end up getting censured/kicked off YouTube. BETCHA

Many people conveniently-forget the name “Curveball,” let alone the earlier retaliation for the African embassy bombings (the supposed nerve gas factory, ala “aspirin factory”).

The Russians are right: Bombing a suspected chemical weapons plant in a populated area is equivalent to rationalizing fixing a natural gas leak in a major city by lighting a match.

At this point, the Russians have more credibility (to me).

Trump may have acted on the best info he was provided, but my gut tells me he’s got a plan (hopeful).

Whether or not chemical weapons were ever there, any inspection at this late date after the bombing and after any possible Russian and Assad clean up IS NOT GOING TO DEFINITIVELY REVEAL ANYTHING !!!!!!!!

Semantics dance. The various chemicals and empty transport devices were at those locations that had to be put together at the time AND PLACE of their impending use. There are never ready-to-use chemical weapons at the factories so of course the wording “no weapons found” is a true statement but with critical omissions.

I saw a video that they say was the canister used for the chem-weapons attack. Their ‘chatter’ was that it was dropped by a helicopter...onto a building. It’s a remarkable canister...just no damage at all, after landing inside of the building. I’m like you....I would regrard this as a fake episode. But I don’t think the Assad crew did it....nor do I think the Russians did it.

I watched a video of Pearson Sharp from OAN on the ground in Douma. He interviewed numerous people right down the block from the gas attack site. They all said the same thing. No gas attack. Some were laughing about it. They all said it was just the West playing games. No kidding.

“I saw a video that they say was the canister used for the chem-weapons attack. Their ‘chatter’ was that it was dropped by a helicopter...onto a building. “

At Ypres in Belgium in WWI, the Germans used 88 tons of chlorine and even more deadly phosgene gas. They released it from 3000 cylinders. Caused 69 dead and around 1100 other casualties.

But Syrians are well known for being far more efficient and better at science than Germans. They used 2 cylinders, and killed 70, and almost no wounded. Only a dumbass believes this white helmet propaganda. Hell, even Mattis himself said a lot of his “evidence” was from social media. I was floored at such ignorance. I also saw Will Smith and Randy Quaid flying F-18s against aliens in a movie. That wasn’t real either.

*********************
We keep hearing that the Syrians cleaned up the evidence before the inspectors got there. But is there any evidence of such a clean up, i.e., witnesses, clean-up chemicals, etc. And in this age of minute chemical detection ability, could such evidence be scrubbed so quickly?

The fact all the “white helmets” ran away from Douma alng with their Al Qaeda brethren should tell you all you need to know about this faked incident.
