The Turkey/Syria border has been rocked with explosions killing innocent civilians, the work of terrorists. The idea that the Assad government would do these things is absurd to the nth degree. That regime is not comprised of angels. Quite the opposite. They are just not that stupid. Why, when already under covert attack, would Assad go to such great lengths to justify the attack? It’s almost as if he’s begging for a military invasion.
History is littered with false-flag attacks. Some time, when perusing American history, find out what a young congressman named Lincoln was trying to do in introducing the “Spot Resolutions.”
Graham Greene wrote the book “The Quiet American” about his Vietnam experience in the early 1950’s. On January 9, 1952 a bomb exploded in Saigon, killing ten people with dozens more injured. The terrorist act was immediately, and without evidence, blamed on two Chechen brothers the Viet Minh, later referred to for demonization purposes as the “Viet Cong,” or simply “Cong.” Vietnamese Catholics later uncovered the man suspected to be the real terrorist, an American military officer named Scott, who resided quietly in the background. His purpose was to exacerbate the already-inflamed tensions between Vietnamese Buddhists and Catholics.
The weapon used in the Saigon explosion was a plastic explosive known only to the CIA. A small amount, perhaps the size of a Tic Tac box, created the massacre.
Here’s a critical aspect that bears on the events of our current day: When the bomb went off, a Life Magazine photographer was perfectly positioned to capture the immediate aftermath. (I would guess, given Henry Luce’s participation in Operation Mockingbird*, that it was no coincidence.) One of his photos, a man with his legs blown off, was published in the magazine along with the conclusion that Viet Minh were responsible. That photo (beneath the fold) served to demonize the Viet Minh for the American public. Good and evil were reversed in the public mind.
Boston was nothing new, and what’s going on now in the coordinated attack on Syria is a formula that has been in use at least since 1952, probably as long ago as 1952 BCE.

*My apologies for Wiki link, notably unreliable when it comes to information regarding the National Security State. Since it names names and explicitly states the purpose of the domestic covert operation, even as it surely omits the really juicy stuff, it has in my view the credibility of a hostile witness.

Before the end of WWI. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/britain-and-france-conclude-sykes-picot-agreement Note Russia’s involvement. Ottoman Empire feared Russians so much it drove their alliance with Germany, a fateful decision which ended in ruin. Syria was invented.

You’re missing out on the good stuff today. Your favorite site RT.com was posting pictures of the captured “CIA agent” and now RT.com’s servers are down.

Servers are running fine. Why did you put “CIA Agent” in quotes? Do you put “terrorists” and “rebels” in quotes when you discuss American news reporting?
BTW, did you know that Bill Buckley was recruited by the CIA out of Yale? He owned up to it, talked some of his training. He was a good guy, in my view, open and honest.

It was down when I looked a while ago, I was imagining maybe there was some denial of service retaliation happening. I put “cia agent” in quotes partly because who knows if he is really a cia agent and partly to get a rise out of you. I thought it was funny that they revealed they caught this guy right when the ambassador was doing his twitter question and answer session and asked him about it. Timed for maximum embarrassment. Highly entertaining.
Did you mean Buckley admitted to working for the cia when he was being tortured or was it prior to that?

It goes down on occasion. And yes, often events are timed so as to cause embarrassment or to distract pull attention away other events, such as the bombing of the JFK Archives in Boston covered over by the fake marathon bombs.
I was a National Review subscriber for almost 20 years, only giving it up after Bush II and 9/11 when they started to sound like Limbaugh. I’ll always admire Buckley. The CIA is deeply involved in torture and assassination, terrorism and drug and weapon running, has been from the beginning. I put none of that in quotes. That not mean that every agent is part of that, as I know for a fact my cousin Billy was not, and doubt Buckley was.

The most glaring difference between Saigon in the 50’s and the 21st century is Photoshop.

Photoshop is a digital tool. Before that, people had to cut and paste, with absurdly obvious fakes like this one:
These, like the Boston Marathon hoax, are ridiculously easy to see if you are looking for them. If you are complicit in your desire to have the photos reinforce your preconceived prejudices, then you won’t see them.

These two men, for example, are easily seen to be the same man. But I’m willing to bet you can’t see it, Swede, as you you don’t really “see” anything. You simply define what you want to see.
