A Little Up-Lifting ...

A Little Up-Lifting ...

So there I was peddling my ass through the French Quarter ... ohm, wait ... that doesn't sound right ... anyway, I'm on my bike going to get some ObamaScare fliers printed when I come across this beauty parked on Royal St..

The fliers are urging everyone not to comply. That they should tell whomever tries to sign them up that any penalty is better then complying with a bad law. Not to give your name, nothing. That it would be the purest form of civil disobedience.

When Your "Salesmanship" Sinks at the Dock...

From: http://www.infowars.com/obama-world-is-more-stable-than-it-was-five-years-ago/

"Speaking before the United Nations General Assembly, President Obama justified the NSA’s spying programs, arguing they have helped to stabilize the world in the five years since he took office.

“As a result of this work, and the cooperation of its allies and partners, the world is more stable than it was five years ago,” the president said on Tuesday morning". HaHaHa! Because You're the Peace President! HeeHeeHee. I wish he'd stop droning on. Rimshot!

Do we get a SuperSize Big Gulp & a Pink Slime "Ham" burger with this insight?

That was from -- http://www.infowars.com/obamacare-supporters-sign-petition-to-add-sterilants-to-water-supply-to-reduce-birthrates/

I swear, humanity cannot stand to hear & see the absolute nonsense WE have been witness to for the last TOO MANY years. Or, just last week. Forgive me, but I can't stop laughing when I contemplate the absolute ludicrousness of the following DoubleSpeak Swan Dive into an empty pool.

No Wait. His Lies get worse (if you can believe it). Even he doesn't believe what just came out of his mouth. "Its those stupid teleprompters, I tells ya! They'll make ya say 'anything'. Its like I'm a ventriloquist's dum, ah, duh, like a Puppet!". Yep.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtOhY2lbBHQ

LOL, LOL, LOL, ROTFLMAO! The really funny part is, now he has to "defend" what he said, and justify it. An impossible feat!

Remember this? How swiftly the rug is lifted, and the dirt swept under foot:

If you were to read InfoWars headlines, scan the threads "briefly" and read some of the comments -- on a regular basis -- your brain would turn into that Pink Slime "Ham" burger mentioned above. Like these people here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N7Imk5pA50

Nonsense & Utter Orwellian GoBabble Beer is what's on tap. Like this one: http://www.infowars.com/seventh-graders-suspended-for-nine-months-for-playing-with-toy-gun-at-home/. No Really! Read it and weep. And nobody unseats the judge, the police, the school TSA wannabe agents, or anything?! This has Got 2B Pre-meditated claptrap to anger the peasants. I did mention the TSA above, so think of your privates and how they're not so private anymore. IN FACT! Let's call them "something" else. Some kind of DoubleSpeak is in order here.

They're not your "Privates" anymore. They're... your "Publics"! And frankly, if the TSA can grope your Publics under the ruse of "security" (Doesn't that make your Publics "not secure"?), then why shouldn't the whole public lineup at the airport just Whip Out Their Publics All-at-Once so the Blue Gloves can see the public's not hiding anything. Or would they all get arrested for Public Nudity or some such B.S.? The Blue Gloves do the rude and lewd, and get away with it "publicly", when a priest would go to jail. And WHO made this policy? Yes, you do know.

So, American's got Publics Grabbers, and Gun Grabbers, and Money Grabbers, and just about any kind of Grabber you can describe! Consider the Gun Grabbers for just a quick moment. Check out this piece-of-the-day starring the Public's favorite Dohdeedohdoh "Bonesman", John "Pitchforked" Kerry. Wasn't it just last week that he almost suffocated on his own foot following putting in there himself on the Syria thingy ma jiggy? It could have been the week before. Well, any week that he gets out and about we can surmise. So what's this?

http://www.infowars.com/kerry-to-sign-un-arms-treaty-despite-senators-opposition/

It wasn't that long ago that Hillary, and Obama, then Biden, and now, TahDah! John Kerry is going to decide for ALL of America that the United Nations is going to "regulate" guns. The Reason is of course for "security" of US ALL. 'cause Mr. Scary and the other ilk tones "Know Better" what is good for US ALL. Thanks, but no thanks Bonesman. You can't just SELL OUT the Law-of-the-Land and ALL AMERICANS to some luciferian-led Blue Helmeted Band of mercenaries. They probably wear Blue Gloves, too! And WE KNOW WHAT YOU CREATURES DO WITH THOSE!

Kerry Interlude: Just ran across this "Keeper". You'll remember it well. Here's the background, "A Florida college student was tasered by police after asking John Kerry a series of questions about his failure to pursue voter fraud in the 2004 presidential elections. His closing question before being acosted by police was about Kerry & Bush's membership in the Skull & Bones Society at Yale".

Yes folks. Its the Famous "DON'T TAZE ME BRO!" happening. And YES -- John Kerry was RIGHT THERE. Tazed for talking in a public forum. Maybe he should have just revealed his Publics, and the place would have felt "more secure". By-the-way, "Thanks for standing up for the youngster, John".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJXzohdF-MA

Hey Man! They're "Peace Keepers", right? NO, Mr. Scary. WE NO LONGER BELIEVE EVERYTHING WE'RE TOLD. Why? It just "happened" along the way to fascism We suppose.

AMERICA (All of US) are going to have to think a little more on this subject of sacrificing any more "Freedoms" to the U.N., or to Anybody for that matter.

That's Right! Let's end this Puff Piece with some alternative fare. When you think of the lowest, the absolute lowest maggot on the planet, you might consider the despotic assholes that attack and kill musicians & art, and supplant it with nastiness.

UK Man Wins Court Battle With BBC Over WTC7 Coverup

Meet Tony Rooke, a man that knows that 9/11 was an inside job and refused to pay the BBC TV license fee and wound up in court over it.  Why did he take on this battle?  Because on the day of 9/11,  BBC reported that the  WTC 7 building fell 20 minutes before it actually happened.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltP2t9nq9fI

Due to this incriminating evidence, Mr Rooke said the BBC was complicit in the 9/11 attacks and on those grounds, refused to pay his license fee to the BBC "terrorists".  Rooke presented the BBC video in court along with other evidence.  The judge then ruled that he had reason to protest the fee.  He was found not guilty and not liable for the fine.    A small but far from insignificant victory for 9/11 truth.  Best line..."You can successfully contradict The BBC. You can't contradict Sir Isaac Newton."

May I add, Tony has exquisite taste in ties. ~jg

Kenyan Mall Shooting (Hoax?)

Max Malone is on the case again. He analyzes the pictures from the shooting and to my mind, it looks a helluva lot like the Boston Marathon Bombing staged event. I guess after complaints that there were so few pictures at Sandy Hook, they decided to go and stage events like Boston and Kenya with lots of fake blood, injuries and not so terrified looking bystanders. Max points out in this video how the cameraman is everywhere. Taking shots(photo) that surely would expose him to death by the shooter that shoots to kill.

These pix sure do look suspicious to me...right down to the smiling policeman wheeling a "terrified victim" through the street in a shopping cart. Why are so many people involved in these shootings so happy and smiling? I'm sure they will come up with a name for that particular disorder and a pill to go with it

This video originally had thousands of views before youtube took it down. It may suddenly disappear again.. So watch it asap ~jg

The New World Order – Doing God’s Work by Killing the Bad Seed

Introduction: I recall the author of this piece from the OEN daze. She is a fine writer, and is as passionate as any COTO folks for the Truth. Here, she delivers some of it for you all. This IS how it is, is it not? There is madness in the minds of many, and they are fulfilling their destiny in The Great Play by seeking to end the lives of others with their own brand of pious, malicious intent. They are the Deceived and the Damned, and They know it not.

They represent the Enemy of God & Man -- all the while thinking they serve the interests of both.

WOW! Sociopathic Psychopath Reptilians wearing human skin. Devoid of empathy.

This is what We've got -- Spiders & Snakes everywhere, doing their damnedest to "make the world a better place". This is what We're dealing with all around us. The insanity around you, the machinations of the elite, this insane "push" of the current regime to "help" the people of Syria.

(You might read "The Lords Of The Flies Take Over" http://www.rense.com/general96/flies.html, Jim Kirwan's post of today. Or read his other recent posts at http://www.kirwanesque.net/articles-listing/ because he's been watching and writing about this stuff for many years now).

But, don't get distracted. Read Ms. Barbara's piece below first.

Consider the FEMA camps, TSA, DHS, Rogue CIA & FBI, and other alphabet Agencies, the Police State mobilization & repeated drills, Endless Wars, GMO, chemtrails, Mass Surveillance, shitty fast food and shitty education options, and on and on...

It starts to come into focus when you read a piece like the one below. If you don't like what is 'prepared for you' you better start saying something and doing something! The spiders are weaving their webs 24/7. They're awake through the dark night, ever vigilant and nocturnally seeking more ways to "help" their kind and this world.

Can you Imagine what would happen if you were totally disarmed as a populace? This is how it has been in the past with the great Purges. Note the Mindset, COTO! You know what you need to do...

Have a nice Sunday!

See if you can spot the insanity?!

We are being deluged on all sides with poisons in the air, food, water, soil, and through big Pharma drugs and vaccines. We are told that all of these things are good for us while we can read the test results and independent studies saying they are not. In fact, these independent studies and test results clearly indicate that we are being poisoned and that the doses are increasing on a daily basis. Why is this happening? Could there really be a group of people who are intent on our destruction? Yes. And they believe that they are doing God’s work. In fact, they have set themselves up as judge, jury and executioner, and the only ones qualified to determine just who deserves to live and who deserves to die. These are the eugenicists. These are people who believe they are God’s elect, and feel that they are chosen for Godhood and have the responsibility to rule. And they have names.

This is a few miles north of the north jetty Port Aransas- It is a desolate island with nothing on the 26 mile long beach but sand and surf. The "Jetty Boat" will drop you off at 6:30 AM and the last boat home is at 6:00 PM,if you miss it you will sleep with the crabs.

US Army looking to contractors for African operations


[It also states the successful contractors will not be required to move military tanks, self-propelled armoured combat vehicles with weapons, aircraft and spacecraft including satellites, radar or radio devices for remote control of weapons and equipment.

These developments come when at least one American military watcher, Nick Turse of TomDispatch.com, maintains Africom is involved in the A to Z of Africa.

“They’re involved in Algeria and Angola, Benin and Botswana, Burkina Faso and Burundi, Cameroon and the Cape Verde Islands. And that’s just the ABCs of the situation. Skip to the end of the alphabet and the story remains the same: Senegal and the Seychelles, Togo and Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia. From north to south, east to west, the Horn of Africa to the Sahel, the heart of the continent to the islands off its coasts, the US military is at work. Base construction, security co-operation engagements, training exercises, advisory deployments, special operations missions and a growing logistics network, all undeniable evidence of expansion—except at US Africa Command,” he wrote.]

I have read so many of these dispatches, I can barely focus anymore. What 's left to the imagination of the largest active military conquest is really unimaginable. The largest drone fleet ever created,  a Benghazi on every corner like Walgreens,  a crusade of covert operations sweeping across Asia and Africa and a Dyncorp, Halliburton contract bonanza looking for Aaron Alexis' to fill positions in the search for blood and treasure.

[He quotes Colonel Tom Davis, Africom director of public affairs, as saying: “Other than our base at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, we do not have military bases in Africa, nor do we have plans to establish any”. Davis admitted the US has temporary facilities elsewhere. . supporting much smaller numbers of personnel “usually for a specific activity”.]

Oh you schmuck, are you just another liar or just so naive as not to know that the US does not ever build temporary bases. And if you only knew the "special activities" they have in mind, you'd grab your wife and children and run for your lives.

Terror has now come to every point on the globe. What happens over there on any GPS has a corresponding city here in the USA  Al-CIAda "Base" of operations. When the next chemical attack or Benghazi happens, some contractors or handlers will initiate the proper response.   The Saddest part is that it is all but becoming so passe and trite and the masses of broke and dumbed downed don't see the reality of a global economy that only survives in the Military Industrial Complex.

Homeland Security and Democracy building, what a beautiful world it will be and a glorious time to be free.

Kissinger pressed Nixon to overthrow the democratically elected Allende government because his "'model' effect can be insidious," documents show

On 40th anniversary of coup, Archive posts top ten documents on Kissinger's role in undermining democracy, supporting military dictatorship in Chile

Kissinger overruled aides on military regime's human rights atrocities; told Pinochet in 1976: "We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende."

Washington, D.C., September 11, 2013 -- Henry Kissinger urged President Richard Nixon to overthrow the democratically elected Allende government in Chile because his "'model' effect can be insidious," according to documents posted today by the National Security Archive. The coup against Allende occurred on this date 40 years ago. The posted records spotlight Kissinger's role as the principal policy architect of U.S. efforts to oust the Chilean leader, and assist in the consolidation of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile.

The documents, which include transcripts of Kissinger's "telcons" -- telephone conversations -- that were never shown to the special Senate Committee chaired by Senator Frank Church in the mid 1970s, provide key details about the arguments, decisions, and operations Kissinger made and supervised during his tenure as national security adviser and secretary of state.

"These documents provide the verdict of history on Kissinger's singular contribution to the denouement of democracy and rise of dictatorship in Chile," said Peter Kornbluh who directs the Chile Documentation Project at the National Security Archive. "They are the evidence of his accountability for the events of forty years ago."

Today's posting includes a Kissinger "telcon" with Nixon that records their first conversation after the coup. During the conversation Kissinger tells Nixon that the U.S. had "helped" the coup. "[Word omitted] created the conditions as best as possible." When Nixon complained about the "liberal crap" in the media about Allende's overthrow, Kissinger advised him: "In the Eisenhower period, we would be heroes."

Rabbit Trails, Wacky Attacks, and Logical Conclusions

I See You Eagle

Stratfor has been cited by media such as CNN, Bloomberg, the Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Times and the BBC as an authority on strategic and tactical intelligence issues.[3] Barron's once referred to it as "The Shadow CIA".[4]

Yeah, sure. And, Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize by an elite Club. For reasons.

Strategic Forecasting, Inc., more commonly known as Stratfor, is a global intelligence company founded in 1996 in Austin, Texas, by George Friedman {Zionist perhaps?} who is the chief intelligence officer, and CEO of the company. Fred Burton is Stratfor's Vice President of Intelligence.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratfor.com

What's Stratfor saying lately about important issues and events? Since they've been proclaimed by MSM spinsters as an "authority on strategic intelligence and tactical issues", WE wanna know?

Well, in this piece -- http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/analytic-guidance-syria-crisis?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=official&utm_campaign=link -- they utter this Obvious absurdity, "Obama is an outstanding politician and he knows he is in quicksand".

Obama, the teleprompter reading nincompoop is an outstanding politician? These "intelligence and tactical "authorities" sure know how to pick their timing don't they? The part about the quicksand is not so absurd.

This Stratfor piece was gleaned from Prison Planet at http://www.prisonplanet.com/stratfor-analysis-us-will-attack-syria-if-russian-plan-is-successful.html.

I smell an agenda at Stratfor, and perhaps at Prison Planet for hoisting this "authority" hokum.

We should counter the Stratfor mumblegum with at least somebody else's thoughts on the subject, who IS an authority on these matters, as an insider, as a thoughtful writer, and as a soul with a soul and a sense of smell to smell stink when its stinking up the place. Try him -- http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/09/12/putin-steps-into-world-leadership-role-paul-craig-roberts/.

Any number of writers have been commenting on these issues of our days/daze on the alt-net media platform. Recently, Mr. PCR began addressing the current pResident with a new nom de'guerre -- "Why is the obama Regime so desperate to commit a war crime despite the warnings delivered to the White House Fool two days ago by the most important countries in the world at the G20 Summit?" From his post -- http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2013/09/08/the-rule-of-zombies-why-are-obama-and-kerry-so-desperate-to-start-a-new-war-paul-craig-roberts/

Anyways, nobody's "All That", but some tell it "more like it IS" in comparison to the familiar group that continues to "tell us like it ISN'T", exactly opposite like it "IS". Yep. we've devolved to what the meaning of "is" is. That's where they want to take us all. The idiot room.

Perhaps you readers out there would like to offer up some of the weird and wacky stuff you come across? Maybe there's some country somebody wants to bomb because they've been using the wrong kind of perfume? Its our job to point this out. Satire sits on irony all day long. Let's ride it!

"Executive Branch leaders have killed, wounded and made homeless well over 20 million human beings in the last 50 years, mostly civilians". By Fred Branfman / http://www.alternet.org/authors/fred-branfman
June 26, 2013

Watch with Caution

WATCH WITH CAUTION

THE MASTER HYPNOTIST


Barack-Obama






AND THE MINIONS OF GENOCIDE


cropped-cotopakman.jpg








Obama plans six TV interviews to talk Syria - ENTERTAINMENT (that's all)


(SIX-VI-6 , 369 - Six talks on the sixth coup of Genesis 6) all that remains is the completion of Syria, Lebanon and Iran. Then the focus will be on globalizing Venezuela, Pakistan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Angola, Nigeria, Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo. 



The U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) was formed in 2008 for Barry (Anti Independent Africa) Soetoro with its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. The  U.S. NATO capos for the elites have military bases in the Horn of Africa nation of Djibouti among others in Africa which they stay in cover  (Gladio style) by running the warlord civil wars like the ones we have seen in Iraq and Libya. 







Syria is no different. Benghazi was different. Americans were sacrificed for Syria. Syrians will be sacrificed but Assad won't be one of them.


In Libya when Ghadafi said this wasn't supposed to happen, he meant it. He thought he was not supposed to be sacrificed but they Saddam'd him anyway. Too much history and a desire to unite the African Continent (OUA) from the African Union currently ruled by the globalists.



The People of Syria need to throw them all out as we need to do here. For Americans to think the Spring isn't upon us  they are due for an early fall.



In the final tally, the number will be 216 nations in the IMF - World Bank . So it is written, so it will be. We are at 196 and counting.....

COTO is a "Coalition" of the Obvious.

"Coalition" means WE work together to discover the common good & The Truth in a time of Deception and Lies.

With Minds aligned on the Purpose of Living and Being in this Maelstrom of malcontent -- WE should embody the noble traits of understanding our brothers and sisters. That takes work. That takes forgiveness. That takes telling it like "it is", yet understanding that each of us sees things from our own window frame of reference. If we are not individuals, then we are drones.

COTO -- Drones WE are NOT!

COTO has been, since its inception, a venue of "insight" and "personal growth" bar none. In this common goal we are united. I'm the first to admit "I'm not so smart". But COTO has made me smarter by the mental and emotional "exercise" required to keep apace of this complex and craven world we live in.

Yeah, this is a "Touch Stone" tossed into the Pool-of-the-Wishing-Well -- wishing for a re-uniting of the minds that make COTO what it has metamorphosed into over the years. Those Voices, Those Intellects, Those Beating Hearts that pump the life-giving blood into the Heart Searching for Truth that is COTO, should feel that they are missed, they are valued, and without Them We are Less than WE aspire to be.

I'll leave it at that.

WARNING! Nationwide MILGRAM Experiment Being Conducted on American Civilians and Military

SHOCKING AMERICANS -- WAKE UP! You are being tested in a Nation-Wide MILGRAM EXPERIMENT!

Find out what it was, and consider what's going on now:

Please Read -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment


"If at any time the subject indicated his desire to halt the experiment, he was given a succession of verbal prods by the experimenter, in this order:[1]

1 ) Please continue.
2) The experiment requires that you continue.
3) It is absolutely essential that you continue.
4) You have no other choice, you must go on.


[caption id="attachment_24013" align="aligncenter" width="200"]A Nation in Distress A Nation in Distress[/caption]

"Milgram summarized the experiment in his 1974 article, "The Perils of Obedience", writing:

The legal and philosophic aspects of obedience are of enormous importance, but they say very little about how most people behave in concrete situations. I set up a simple experiment at Yale University to test how much pain an ordinary citizen would inflict on another person simply because he was ordered to by an experimental scientist. Stark authority was pitted against the subjects' [participants'] strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects' [participants'] ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not. The extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.

Ordinary people, simply doing their jobs, and without any particular hostility on their part, can become agents in a terrible destructive process. Moreover, even when the destructive effects of their work become patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority".[7]

For Some "people" -- WAR is a Business Model that Makes Sense to Them...

Getting a PERSPECTIVE on the WAR-MAKING “Elites”…the reason(s) most of humanity doesn’t understand “Why?” they are continually the victims of fomented wars – is because their investment portfolios don’t have them invested in “War-Making” stocks.

Why would you “ROOT FOR WAR” when it won’t make you richer? The elites are Heavily invested in war-making companies, and they also benefit from the political and corporate “power” that comes from playing with other people’s lives.

Most humans see WAR as a sadistic, nonsensical waste of humanity and resources. Immoral to its core, and infinitely evil in its terror and murderous rampage. However, those who conduct wars, do so because war is the most profitable business in this war-ravaged world. Capeche?!

Zionist Jews Push America Into WW3 – Brother Nathaniel

“But regardless of the repercussions for American lives and interests, the Jewish Lobby that pulls the strings of its puppets on Capitol Hill will have its way: A US War on Syria leading to WW3 that’s “good for the Jews” but bad for everyone else looks like a done deal”.

The Genie Energy Company, whose principals include the Jews: Jacob Rothschild, Rupert Murdoch, Howard Jonas, Michael Steinhardt and Gentile zionist shill, Dick Cheney, was recently awarded via its Israeli subsidiary, Genie Israel Oil and Gas, exploration rights of the oil and gas reserves in the Golan Heights”.

Do ALL AMERICANS really have to "Go-to-War" because a small collection of OBVIOUS illegitimate War Profiteers says WE HAVE TO?

I don't believe WE have to denigrate ourselves, and give up our own individual personal power by "pleading" with deranged men like John McCain, John Kerry, Barack Obama, or any other of their ilk, suit, uniform, or title. Just say "NO!". And stand your ground.

The American People have a "Right" and the "FREEDOM" to individually decide they will not kill other people. For any reason.

"Caught – US Planned Syrian Catastrophe Since 2007" {mirrored from Zen Gardner}

[Tony nails it again with his impeccable, painstaking research to bring home and prove the premeditated perfidy and detailed imperialist designs of the bloodthirsty western powers. May the world get this information. - Zen]

Tony Cartalucci / ActivistPost

- NBC News’ report, “‘The great tragedy of this century’: More than 2 million refugees forced out of Syria,” stated:

More than 2 million Syrians have poured into neighboring countries as refugees, the United Nations revealed on Tuesday.

Around 5,000 people per day are fleeing the three-year conflict, which the U.N. says has already claimed over 100,000 lives.

“Syria has become the great tragedy of this century — a disgraceful humanitarian calamity with suffering and displacement unparalleled in recent history,” said António Guterres, the U.N.’s high commissioner responsible for refugees.

But, while the UN and nations across the West feign shock over the growing humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in and around Syria, the goal of a violent sectarian conflict and its predictable, catastrophic results along with calls to literally “bleed” Syria have been the underlying strategy of special interests in the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and their regional partners since at least 2007.

A Timeline: How the Syrian Conflict Really Unfolded

Western media networks have ensured that a singular narrative of “pro-democracy” uprisings turning violent in the face of brutal oppression by the Syrian government after the so-called “Arab Spring” is disseminated across the public. In reality, “pro-democracy” protesters served as a tenuous smokescreen behind which armed foreign-backed extremists took to the streets and countrysides of Syria to execute a sectarian bloodbath years in the making. Here is a timeline that illuminates the true cause of Syria’s current conflict and the foreign interests, not the Syrian government, responsible for the tens of thousands dead and millions displaced during the conflict.
1991: Paul Wolfowitz, then Undersecretary of Defense, tells US Army General Wesley Clark that the US has 5-10 years to “clean up those old Soviet client regimes, Syria, Iran, Iraq, before the next great superpower comes on to challenge us.” Fora.TV: Wesley Clark at the Commonwealth Club of California, October 3, 2007.

2001: A classified plot is revealed to US Army General Wesley Clark that the US plans to attack and destroy the governments of 7 nations: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Fora.TV: Wesley Clark at the Commonwealth Club of California, October 3, 2007.
2002: US Under Secretary of State John Bolton declares Syria a member of the “Axis of Evil” and warned that “the US would take action.” BBC: “US Expands ‘Axis of Evil’” May 6, 2002.

2005: US State Department’s National Endowment for Democracy organizes and implements the “Cedar Revolution” in Lebanon directly aimed at undermining Syrian-Iranian influence in Lebanon in favor of Western-backed proxies, most notably Saad Hariri’s political faction. Counterpunch: “Faking the Case Against Syria,” by Trish Schuh November 19-20, 2005.

….

2005: Ziad Abdel Nour, an associate of Bush Administration advisers, policy makers, and media including Neo-Conservatives Paula Dobriansky, James Woolsey, Frank Gaffney, Daniel Pipes, Joseph Farah (World Net Daily), Clifford May, and Daniel Nassif of US State Department-funded Al Hurra and Radio Sawa, admits: “Both the Syrian and Lebanese regimes will be changed- whether they like it or not- whether it’s going to be a military coup or something else… and we are working on it. We know already exactly who’s going to be the replacements. We’re working on it with the Bush administration.” Counterpunch: “Faking the Case Against Syria,” by Trish Schuh November 19-20, 2005.

2006: Israel attempts, and fails, to destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon after a prolonged aerial bombard that resulted in thousands of civilian deaths. CNN: “UN: Hezbollah and Israel agree on Monday cease-fire,” August 13, 2006.
2007: Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker reveals that US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Hariri in Lebanon as well as the Syrian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood were assembling, arming, training, and heavily funding a sectarian extremists front, many of whom had direct ties to Al Qaeda, to unleash in both Lebanon and Syria. The goal was to create and exploit a sectarian divide between Sunni and Shi’ia Muslims. Hersh interviewed intelligence officers who expressed concerns over the “cataclysmic conflict” that would result, and the need to protect ethnic minorities from sectarian atrocities. The report indicated that extremists would be logistically staged in northern Lebanon where they would be able to cross back and forth into Syria. New Yorker: “The Redirection,” by Seymour Hersh, March 5, 2007.

2008: The US State Department begins training, funding, networking, and equipping “activists” through its “Alliance for Youth Movements” where the future protest leaders of the “Arab Spring,” including Egypt’s “April 6 Movement” were brought to New York, London, and Mexico, before being trained by US-funded CANVAS in Serbia, and then returning home to begin preparations for 2011.

Which Path to Persia?

2009: The Brookings Institution published a report titled, “Which Path to Persia?” (.pdf), which admits that the Bush Administration “evicted” Syria from Lebanon without building up a strong Lebanese government to replace it (p. 34), that Israel struck a “nascent” Syrian nuclear program, and states the importance of neutralizing Syrian influence before any attack on Iran can be carried out (p. 109). The report then goes on to describe in detail the use of listed terrorist organizations against the government of Iran, in particular the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) (p. 126) and Baluch insurgents in Pakistan (p.132).

Clarification: Dale Gavlak assisted in the research and writing process of this article, but was not on the ground in Syria. Reporter Yahya Ababneh, with whom the report was written in collaboration, was the correspondent on the ground in Ghouta who spoke directly with the rebels, their family members, victims of the chemical weapons attacks and local residents. 

Gavlak is a MintPress News Middle East correspondent who has been freelancing for the AP as a Amman, Jordan correspondent for nearly a decade. This report is not an Associated Press article; rather it is exclusive to MintPress News. 

Ghouta, Syria — As the machinery for a U.S.-led military intervention in Syria gathers pace following last week’s chemical weapons attack, the U.S. and its allies may be targeting the wrong culprit.


Interviews with people in Damascus and Ghouta, a suburb of the Syrian capital, where the humanitarian agency Doctors Without Borders said at least 355 people had died last week from what it believed to be a neurotoxic agent, appear to indicate as much.


The U.S., Britain, and France as well as the Arab League have accused the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for carrying out the chemical weapons attack, which mainly targeted civilians. U.S. warships are stationed in the Mediterranean Sea to launch military strikes against Syria in punishment for carrying out a massive chemical weapons attack. The U.S. and others are not interested in examining any contrary evidence, with U.S Secretary of State John Kerry sayingMonday that Assad’s guilt was “a judgment … already clear to the world.”


However, from numerous interviews with doctors, Ghouta residents, rebel fighters and their families, a different picture emerges. Many believe that certain rebels received chemical weapons via the Saudi intelligence chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, and were responsible for carrying out the dealing gas attack.


“My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” said Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of a rebel fighting to unseat Assad, who lives in Ghouta.


Abdel-Moneim said his son and 12 other rebels were killed inside of a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.”


Ghouta townspeople said the rebels were using mosques and private houses to sleep while storing their weapons in tunnels.


Abdel-Moneim said his son and the others died during the chemical weapons attack. That same day, the militant group Jabhat al-Nusra, which is linked to al-Qaida, announced that it would similarly attack civilians in the Assad regime’s heartland of Latakia on Syria’s western coast, in purported retaliation.


“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”


“When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,” she warned. She, like other Syrians, do not want to use their full names for fear of retribution.


A well-known rebel leader in Ghouta named ‘J’ agreed. “Jabhat al-Nusra militants do not cooperate with other rebels, except with fighting on the ground. They do not share secret information. They merely used some ordinary rebels to carry and operate this material,” he said.


“We were very curious about these arms. And unfortunately, some of the fighters handled the weapons improperly and set off the explosions,” ‘J’ said.


Doctors who treated the chemical weapons attack victims cautioned interviewers to be careful about asking questions regarding who, exactly, was responsible for the deadly assault.


The humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders added that health workers aiding 3,600 patients also reported experiencing similar symptoms, including frothing at the mouth, respiratory distress, convulsions and blurry vision. The group has not been able to independently verify the information.


More than a dozen rebels interviewed reported that their salaries came from the Saudi government.


 

Saudi involvement


In a recent article for Business Insider, reporter Geoffrey Ingersoll highlighted Saudi Prince Bandar’s role in the two-and-a-half year Syrian civil war. Many observers believe Bandar, with his close ties to Washington, has been at the very heart of the push for war by the U.S. against Assad.


Ingersoll referred to an article in the U.K.’s Daily Telegraph about secret Russian-Saudi talksalleging that Bandar offered Russian President Vladimir Putin cheap oil in exchange for dumping Assad.


“Prince Bandar pledged to safeguard Russia’s naval base in Syria if the Assad regime is toppled, but he also hinted at Chechen terrorist attacks on Russia’s Winter Olympics in Sochi if there is no accord,” Ingersoll wrote.


“I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us,” Bandar allegedly told the Russians.


“Along with Saudi officials, the U.S. allegedly gave the Saudi intelligence chief the thumbs up to conduct these talks with Russia, which comes as no surprise,” Ingersoll wrote.


“Bandar is American-educated, both military and collegiate, served as a highly influential Saudi Ambassador to the U.S., and the CIA totally loves this guy,” he added.


According to U.K.’s Independent newspaper, it was Prince Bandar’s intelligence agency that first brought allegations of the use of sarin gas by the regime to the attention of Western allies in February.


The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the CIA realized Saudi Arabia was “serious” about toppling Assad when the Saudi king named Prince Bandar to lead the effort.


“They believed that Prince Bandar, a veteran of the diplomatic intrigues of Washington and the Arab world, could deliver what the CIA couldn’t: planeloads of money and arms, and, as one U.S. diplomat put it, wasta, Arabic for under-the-table clout,” it said.


Bandar has been advancing Saudi Arabia’s top foreign policy goal, WSJ reported, of defeating Assad and his Iranian and Hezbollah allies.


To that aim, Bandar worked Washington to back a program to arm and train rebels out of a planned military base in Jordan.


The newspaper reports that he met with the “uneasy Jordanians about such a base”:




His meetings in Amman with Jordan’s King Abdullah sometimes ran to eight hours in a single sitting. “The king would joke: ‘Oh, Bandar’s coming again? Let’s clear two days for the meeting,’ ” said a person familiar with the meetings.



Jordan’s financial dependence on Saudi Arabia may have given the Saudis strong leverage. An operations center in Jordan started going online in the summer of 2012, including an airstrip and warehouses for arms. Saudi-procured AK-47s and ammunition arrived, WSJ reported, citing Arab officials.


Although Saudi Arabia has officially maintained that it supported more moderate rebels, the newspaper reported that “funds and arms were being funneled to radicals on the side, simply to counter the influence of rival Islamists backed by Qatar.”


But rebels interviewed said Prince Bandar is referred to as “al-Habib” or ‘the lover’ by al-Qaida militants fighting in Syria.


Peter Oborne, writing in the Daily Telegraph on Thursday, has issued a word of caution about Washington’s rush to punish the Assad regime with so-called ‘limited’ strikes not meant to overthrow the Syrian leader but diminish his capacity to use chemical weapons:




Consider this: the only beneficiaries from the atrocity were the rebels, previously losing the war, who now have Britain and America ready to intervene on their side. While there seems to be little doubt that chemical weapons were used, there is doubt about who deployed them.


It is important to remember that Assad has been accused of using poison gas against civilians before. But on that occasion, Carla del Ponte, a U.N. commissioner on Syria, concluded that the rebels, not Assad, were probably responsible.
