MY CORNER by Boyd Cathey
SYRIA Part II: Tucker Carlson Unravels the “False Flag”; Pat Buchanan Adds
his Commentary, as the London Skripal Chemical Case Also Unravels
Friends,
One-hundred and seventy-five years ago, the
English prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli in his novel Coningsby, famously wrote: "So you
see…the world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by
those who are not behind the scenes." asingly, that appears vividly confirmed by events in the
Middle East and in England.
A
bit more on the perilous Syria question this morning, and a bit more about what
may be the latest, and perhaps most serious and dangerous “false flag” in a
recent history of “false flags” inflicted upon the American citizenry on behalf
of the New World Order.
Recall,
if you will, the MY CORNER of yesterday and the preliminary thoughts I offered
about the supposed Syrian gas attack. Last night Tucker Carlson on his
prime-time program at 8 p.m. echoed many of those very same questions and
doubts I expressed…but, of course, his audience is much, much larger, and his
informed comments represent a significant clarion call for the president to
reconsider the type of “advice” he is receiving from his zealous
Neoconservative globalist advisers who have never seen a war that they did not
want to involve us in…and to reject the hasty and ideological demands for
endless war for unobtainable peace in a land where war and death are everyday
occurrences.
I
have excerpted Carlson’s opening seven minute monologue on Syria from last
night’s program and included it as a You Tube offering. I strongly urge you to
watch and listen to it. Additionally, following Carlson’s opening—and a short
pause, he interviews Senator Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi), and what is eerily
and frighteningly apparent is just how uninformed (shall we use the word
“ignorant”?) most of our senior lawmakers in Washington are. Is it any wonder
that a small group of savvy unleashed foreign policy globalists can both
surround the president and at the same time control the thinking of our elected
representatives in Congress?
Please
take time to view this:
Lastly,
let me offer Pat Buchanan’s very apposite column on this same topic, but with
general reference to what I have signaled is the major weakness in the Trump
administration—the fact that the internationalist/interventionist “swamp”
globalists have managed to surround the president and bend his ear.
Such
advice that they give goes diametrically against his enunciated America First
agenda and against his instincts. We can only hope that his instincts will
triumph.
Has the War Party
Hooked Trump?
By Patrick J. Buchanan Tuesday - April 10, 2018
With his Sunday tweet that Bashar Assad, "Animal Assad," ordered a gas attack on Syrian civilians, and Vladimir Putin was morally complicit in the atrocity, President Donald Trump just painted himself and us into a corner. "Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria," tweeted Trump, "President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price... to pay."
"Big price... to pay," said the president.
Now, either Trump launches an attack that could drag us deeper into a seven-year civil war from which he promised to extricate us last week, or Trump is mocked as being a man of bluster and bluff.
For Trump Sunday accused Barack Obama of being a weakling for failing to strike Syria after an earlier chemical attack. "If President Obama had crossed his stated Red Line In The Sand," Trump tweeted, "the Syrian disaster would have ended long ago! Animal Assad would have been history!"
Trump's credibility is now on the line and he is being goaded by the war hawks to man up. Sunday, John McCain implied that Trump's comments about leaving Syria "very soon" actually "emboldened" Assad:
"President Trump last week signaled to the world that the United States would prematurely withdraw from Syria. Bashar Assad and his Russian and Iranian backers have heard him, and emboldened by American inaction, Assad has reportedly launched another chemical attack against innocent men, women and children, this time in Douma."
Pronouncing Assad a "war criminal," Lindsey Graham said Sunday the entire Syrian air force should be destroyed. So massive an attack would be an act of war against a nation that has not attacked us and does not threaten us. Hence, Congress, prior to such an attack, should pass a resolution authorizing a U.S. war on Syria. And, as Congress does, it can debate our objectives in this new war, and how many men, casualties and years will be required to defeat the coalition of Syria, Russia, Hezbollah, Iran, and the allied Shiite militias from the Near East.
On John Bolton's first day as national security adviser, Trump is being pushed to embrace a policy of Cold War confrontation with Russia and a U.S. war with Syria. Yet candidate Trump campaigned against both.
The War Party that was repudiated in 2016 appears to be back in the
saddle. But before he makes good on that threat of a "big price... to
pay," Trump should ask his advisers what comes after the attack on Syria.With his Sunday tweet that Bashar Assad, "Animal Assad," ordered a gas attack on Syrian civilians, and Vladimir Putin was morally complicit in the atrocity, President Donald Trump just painted himself and us into a corner. "Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria," tweeted Trump, "President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price... to pay."

Lest we forget, there was a reason Obama did not strike Syria for a previous gas attack. Americans rose up as one and said we do not want another Middle East war. When John Kerry went to Capitol Hill for authorization, Congress, sensing the national mood, declined to support any such attack.
Trump's strike, a year ago, with 59 cruise missiles, on the air base that allegedly launched a sarin gas attack, was supported only because Trump was new in office and the strike was not seen as the beginning of a longer and deeper involvement in a war Americans did not want to fight.
Does Trump believe that his political base is more up for a major U.S. war in Syria today than it was then? The folks who cheered Trump a week ago when he said we were getting out of Syria, will they cheer him if he announces that we are going deeper in?
Before any U.S. attack, Trump should make sure there is more hard evidence that Assad launched this poison gas attack than there is that Russia launched that poison gas attack in Salisbury, England. One month after that attack, which Prime Minister Theresa May ascribed to Russia and Foreign Minister Boris Johnson laid at the feet of Putin himself, questions have arisen:
If the nerve agent used, Novichok, was of a military variety so deadly it could kill any who came near, why is no one dead from it?
Both the target, Sergei Skripal, and his daughter Yulia are recovering. If the deadly poison was, as reported, put on the doorknob of Skripal's home, how did he and Yulia manage to go to a restaurant after being contaminated, with neither undergoing a seizure until later on a park bench?
If Russia did it, why are the British scientists at Porton Down now admitting that they have not yet determined the source of the poison?
Why would Putin, with the prestige of hosting the World Cup in June on the line, perpetrate an atrocity that might have killed hundreds and caused nations not only to pull out of the games, but to break diplomatic relations with Russia? [NOTE: for a detailed analysis please read former intelligence agent Philip Giraldi’s piece: “Liars Lying About Nearly Everything,” https://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/liars-lying-about-nearly-everything-2/ ]
U.S. foreign policy elites claim Putin wanted Trump to win the 2016 election. But if Putin indeed wanted to deal with Trump, why abort all such prospects with a poison gas murder of a has-been KGB agent in Britain, America's foremost ally?
The sole beneficiaries of the gas attacks in Salisbury and Syria appear to be the War Party.
