While horrible photos ( link 18+ ) of people allegedly killed in the April 7 Douma attack rapidly became widely known after they had been released by the White Helments, there was something ignored by the media. Besides the photos of the dead bodies, Douma “media activists” also released videos showing two compressed gas cylinders, which had allegedly been used by “the Assad regime” to conduct the chemical attack on Douma. These videos raise some questions. Lets look at the compressed gas cylinder #1 (revealed on April 8): This was the first video showing the alleged compressed gas cylinder used in the attack. It appeared on April 8, a day after the first reports about the attack (April 7).

The doomsday clock is ticking. The recent series of events,  which includes the so-called Skripal case and the alleged chemical attack in Syria , has put the world on the brink of a big aggressive war in the Middle East. Forces instigating this war pursue two main goals: To justify the growing military spending and to assure the economic domination of the so-called US-led bloc over the rest of the world. The military industrial complex and multinational corporations controlled by the Euro-Atlantic establishment will be the main beneficiary party of this new big war. To save the US-led unipolar world order and the so-called Western value system. This will allow the Euro-Atlantic elites to continue using the existing system to remain in power and to drain resources from national states. After US ambassador to UN Nikki Haley threatened that the US will strike Syrian forces if they continue combating militants in the Eastern Ghouta region near Damascus, SF wrote in its articl

Qasef-1 Qasef-1 suicide unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of the Houthis have struck an oil facility of the Aramco company as well as the Abha Airport in southern Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni al-Masirah TV said on April 11. The TV channel provided no details of the attacks. However, it’s known that the Qasef-1 is a local made copy of the Iranian the Ababil-1/the Ababil-2 UAV, which can be used as a loitering munition. The Qasef-1 has the length of 250 cm and the wingspan of 300 cm. Its alleged range is 150km and the weight of the warhead is 30 kg. Saudi Arabia hasn’t commented on the claims yet. On April 8, April 9 and April 10, the Houthis also conducted attacks on targets inside Saudi Arabia.  However, those times they used missiles.  The increase of the number of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia is another signal showing the developing escalation in the region.  If a big war in the Middle East starts , the Houthis will be on the side of Iran and its allies, while Saudi Arabia wi

Israeli media and officials are fueling the current escalation over Syria. “If the Iranians act against Israel from Syrian territory, it will be Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his government that will pay the price,”  senior Israeli defense officials were quoted by the country’s media on April 11 . “Assad’s regime and Assad himself will disappear from the map and the world if the Iranians do try to harm Israel or its interests from Syrian territory.” “Our recommendation to Iran is that it does not try to act, because Israel is determined to continue on this issue to the very end.” The comments came in response to  claims by Iranian officials to retaliate to the recent Israeli strike on the T4 airbase  in Syria where  some Iranian servicemembers were killed. On April 10 Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said that Israel will take all necessary steps to prevent Iran from establishing a permanent military base in Syria. “No matter what the price, we will not al
