Another chemical attack story is developing over Syria putting the war-torn country on the edge of a new regional conflict.
On April 5, Jaish al-Islam, the group which controls the last militant-held town in the Damascus suburb of Eastern Ghouta, broke the previously reached reconciliation deal with the Syrian-Iranian-Russian alliance and refused to withdraw its forces from Douma to the Turkish-occupied town of Jarabulus in northern Syria. The evacuation of civilians, sick and injured people from the region was also sabotaged.
In the period between April 5 and April 6, Jaish al-Islam leadership rejected all proposals to resume implementation of the agreement and refused to back to the negotiations table. According to the Russian military, the group has even killed three own commanders involved in the negotiations on the peaceful surrender.
These commanders were identified as “Abu Hamam” – the head of Jaysh al-Islam political office in Duma district, “Abu Ali” – the secretary of Jaysh al-Islam leader Essam al-Buwaydhani and “Abu Omar” – the financial administrative of the armed group.
In the evening of April 6, the Syrian Air Force started a bombing campaign targeting fortified positions, weapon depots and HQs of the militant group in the Douma area.
On April 7, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the Tiger Forces and their allies launched a ground assault on militant positions east, south and southeast of Douma and even entered the town.
A few hours after the start of the ground operation, the Jaysh al-Islam-linked news agency Kumait accused government forces of conducting a chemical attack. The pro-militant media outlet claimed that 15 civilians had been affected with some toxic gas in the area of Duma.
By April 8, the chemical attack story had reached major mainstream media outlets and with help of so-called “rescuers and medics” from Douma, mostly members of the notorious pro-militant propaganda organization White Helmets, the number of the alleged civilian casualties had grown to 50-70 killed and 500-700 or even 1000 injured.
The US State Department reacted to the story by saying that if reports are confirmed, the US demands an “immediate response by the international community” and claimed that Russia “ultimately bears responsibility for these brutal attacks.”
US President Donald Trump ignored the words “if confirmed” and blamed “President Putin, Russia and Iran” as well as “Animal Assad” for the alleged attack.
The Syrian government rejected all allegations of being responsible for the alleged incident. The Russian Defense Ministry also denied “these claims” and announced its readiness “to send Russian experts in radiation, chemical and biological defense to Douma after its liberation from terrorists.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry described the chemical attack reports as “hoaxes” and warned that any foreign military actions against Syria over “fabricated” reports of chemical attacks may lead to the “gravest consequences.”
Meanwhile, Jaish al-Islam failed to repel the SAA attack and was once again forced to accept a withdrawal deal, which will be reportedly implemented within 48 hours. Under the deal the militants will have to depart the town towards militant-held areas in northern Syria.
Despite this, the situation remains tense as recent events on the international arena have shown that the so-called West, first of all the US and the UK, need little evidence or facts to blame somebody for something and are ready to make aggressive actions justifying them by barely confirmed allegations.
Alexander Mercouris : Russia controls Douma, guarantees impartial investigation; that makes US attack MORE likely.

The OPCW has agreed to go to Douma and investigate following invitation from Syria and Sec Gen of the UN (finally!) requested an independent and impartial investigation:

Are the rest of the world finally waking up to the danger the USA/France/UK govts. have put the world in?
The Jaish al-Islam terrorists at first by rejecting the truce were useful instrument to gain time to play on the movie “Animal Assad Chemical Attack” and then after the hideous purpose was accomplished not only against Syria but all humankind, then the human rats asked piety and have been granted with saving their lives and be evacuated without any risk.
That is not fair!!
Call the White House tomorrow morning and tell the President this is not why we elected him:

Yes I agree but I live with my small family in a small sucker brain dead nation in the EU ! Nobody here is aware…. their stupid press says as much.
I believe these butchers squating in washington WILL launch a strike of much larger proportions than previous attacks…
The scum of suits in Washington have no RIGHT to threaten the world s citizen s with a war which could escalate into nuclear and the end of life for all….
No bloody right to act in this matter based on a bunch of media lies and spin ….
Russian Embassy to UK: London Destroying Evidence Related to ‘Skripal Case’
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201804101063384253-russia-uk-skripal-investigation-cia/
“The fake news about a chemical attack in the Syrian town of Douma aims to distract the world from the fabricated Skripal case and build an anti-Russia alliance, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said during an emergency Security Council meeting on Monday.
Meanwhile, the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) involvement in the Skripal poisoning case has become obvious after reports emerged that the US spy agency offered shelter to the two victims in the incident, meaning that Russian officials may never see them again, Russian envoy to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia said.
On Sunday, UK media reported that the United States could provide the Skripals with new identities in order to protect them from new potential attacks. According to media reports, apart from the United States the representatives of the two intelligence services have discussed Australia, Canada and New Zealand as potential destination for relocation of the Skripals under new names.
“According to reports from newspapers, we learned that the CIA proposed to shelter the Skripals in the US and to give them new names,” Nebenzia told the UN Security Council during an emergency meeting on Syria on Monday. “The participation of the CIA here in itself speaks volumes. However, this also means that we possibly perhaps will never see these people, [who are] key witnesses of what took place.”
The skripal and Douma false flags are interlocking parts of the same strategy.
they will also need plastic surgery to alter identity ….. or they may just disappear ….. ie thrown out of a helicopter…….
Usual CIA practice….
Syria was struck by Israeli aircraft but real target is Russia

It’s pretty obvious that we are so war hungry that we would like to fight anyone that comes to mind, war with Russia would be the worst thing the U.S. will experience, especially if Iran gets involved, which surely they might.
” The chemical attack in Syria will be met forcefully. Will make a decision tonight or shortly after. Have a lot of military options in Syria”

Micron is 100% kosher. Employed by the Zionazi grandees, the Rothschilds, and his political ‘movement’ created ex nihilo by a cabal led by six individuals, five of them Zionazi, including the loathsome war criminal, Bernard-Henry Levy. And he takes his orders from Tel Aviv via the CRIF, the French AIPAC. Israel demands that Syria be vivisected, and Micron knows HIS Master’s voice.

Syrian Girl reappears on YouTube when we need her most. For years, this young Syrian-Australian woman who resides in Australia but is in close contact/visits with her homeland reported regularly on the details of the proxy war ravaging her mother country.
When she started getting 100,000s views and threatened the mainstream narrative her YouTube channel and videos were deleted by the powers that control YouTube.
Good therefore for Russian Insight channel to host her. What she presents about the Douma false flag is shocking and needs sharing:

Each alleged chem attack in Syria is followed by screeming hyenias on most national news. Not this one, it made the news, but it was burried at the very end of the program…………..and the entire time the story ran……….the caption on the bottom of the screen read “Russian officals claim the chemical attack was a ‘staged hoax’.” That’s a dievient from the norm, maybe all hell is about to break loose……………..then again, maybe same old same old is getting really old.
I watched the latest false flag on TV. Another botched attempt. A group of kids were used, having water poured over their heads by people wearing no protective clothing. Not a single kid showed signs of injury, nor a sign of burning, which is associated with gas attacks. The “film directors” in this false flag were the infamous White Helmets, a Western created intelligence and disinformation outfit. Their film accomplishment was a sad comedy.
How to avoid war and nobody gets killed !
My humble suggestion as to what Russia/China could do to avoid war and come out stronger is this:
Last week China sent a delegation to Moscow to ensure that the west understands that in any conflict China will stand with Russia and “has it’s back”
At this most dangerous of moments drastic action is required.
I think China should immediately dump all trillion plus of it’s US treasuries. This would cause major upheavals in world trade but is surely preferable to global nuclear war. The second thing that Russia/China could do is destroy the west’s telecoms satellites without which their military empire of bases is pretty much useless.
At this point Russia and China could dictate the terms for world peace on their terms and nobody gets killed.
I read that China has been preparing missiles just for the purpose of taking out satellites.
They don’t have to let the US dictate the course of events but must act pre-emptively themselves in every possible way especially when the junta in Washington is completely beyond reasoning with.
I think the above suggestons offer a win win for the east, ie the west is crippled, nobody gets killed and the multipolar world emerges on top.
What choice is there?
