The reporter said he later spoke with another 30 to 40 residents of the town (of Douma). "I went up to random people. I know there's a lot of concern from people that the residents being interviewed are plants — they're Russian operatives or they're staged interviews or things like that. We just randomly went up to different people — nobody came up to us — and interviewed probably 30 to 40 people. Consistently, not one person in the town said they heard anything about an attack," Sharp said.

"When I asked them what they thought the chemical attack was, they told me — all of them — it was staged by the rebels who were occupying the town at that time. They said it was a fabrication or a hoax. When I asked why, they told me it was because the rebels were desperate and needed a ploy to help the get the Syrian Army off their back so they could escape," he continued. -- source

That's 35 maximum impacts out of a total of 103 (or 105, or 118 depending on your sources). So the question is; what happened to the rest of Trump's 'nice new and smart' missiles?

The Russians have an answer. According to their radar data on the event, 6 other airbases and airports were also targeted. Why didn't the Pentagon include those in its report on the strikes?

Duwali airbase - 4 missiles fired, 4 shot down
Dumayr airbase - 12 missiles fired, 12 shot down
Baley airbase - 18 missiles fired, 18 shot down
Shayrat airbase - 12 missiles fired, 12 shot down
Marj Ruhayyil airbase - 18 missiles fired, 18 shot down
Damascus international airport - 4 missiles fired, 4 shot down

Already in the April 14 attack, the explanation that 76 cruise missiles were directed against three buildings is ridiculous but is nevertheless sustained thanks to the lies of the mainstream media and the paucity of available information. -- source

As evidenced by the images shot by PressTV a few hours after the attack, the structure is destroyed but there are no chemical contaminations. To confirm this, the television operators were able to perform interviews and live footage a few meters from the site of the strike without experiencing any physical effects, which would have been impossible were the American version of events true, given that the release of chemical agents would have made the whole area inaccessible. -- source

Across Latin America, in large swaths of Asia, and in the whole of Africa America’s new brand of imperialism and debt weighs heavily on the people of the planet. Obfuscating the breadth and depth of the situation, lies the world media network now owned by key governments and billionaire investors, which are part of the US led hegemony. It is no secret that the elite bankers and technocrats control every aspect of western society. Supercapitalism, the US hegemony that was supposed to ensure the security of Americans forever, it is failing. And because it will fail very soon, there must be a devastating war to cover the tracks of both the imbeciles and the diabolical thieves at the head of all our institutions. The “game” is winding down, America must expand or die. At least, this is the only strategy the order understands. However, the bad news is that it may be too late for the world to reverse course. We may be too far gone. -- source

In a move which would have seemed impossible – or at least highly unlikely – just months ago, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have confirmed their goal of complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. -- source

Later, at a rally in Michigan, Mr. Trump told supporters that he deserved virtually all the credit for the success of the meeting between the North and the South (of Korea). -- source

In the first 1990 Gulf War, for example, the performance of US Patriot missiles in shooting down Iraqi Scud missiles fired at Israel, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait was lauded by Western powers and the media. A 95% success rate was claimed at the time, with then President George Bush claiming that the Patriot's record was "near perfect". Over the following year however, the US Army lowered this estimate to 79% over Saudi Arabian skies and 40% over Israel. A later report by the General Accounting Office concluded that Patriot missiles destroyed only 9% of the Scuds they attempted to engage. The Israeli Defense Force calculated the hit rate at just 2%. -- source

In the last two weeks, stunning developments, one right after another, have suggested the possibility that the Korean War armistice will be turned into a peace treaty, North Korea will surrender its most destructive weapons, and the two Koreas will merge into one state.

How did peace break out in perhaps the world’s most troubled region? You can thank, in large measure, President Donald Trump. -- source

Lieberman has said Israel would not accept limitations from Russia or any other country on its “actions” in Syria.

“We will maintain total freedom of action. We will not accept any limitation when it comes to the defense of our … interests,” Lieberman told the Hebrew-language Walla news website.

The Israeli military has launched attacks against various targets inside Syria from time to time, which Damascus believes are aimed at boosting terrorist groups in the face of major gains by the Syrian army.

In his remarks on Sunday, Lieberman also took aim at Iran, saying Israel has three problems: “Iran, Iran, Iran.” -- source

This leaves only one question: Who will be next on the list of US illegal invasions cloaked in bullshit justifications? Well, last week, Iran finally did it: It switched from the dollar to the euro. And sure enough, this week, the US military-industrial complex, the corporate media and Israel all got together to claim that Iran is lying about its nuclear weapons development. What are the odds that this news would break within days of Iran dropping the dollar? What. Are. The. Odds? -- source

The administration has labeled Iran the “number one terrorist state,” blaming it for supporting various Shia Muslim groups in the region, including the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Palestinian Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen. -- source
