Use of the term \u2018false flag\u2019 is often met with raised eyebrows and accusations of conspiracism. But false flags are a very real and very present feature of geopolitics \u2014 and denying that is simply denying reality.<\/p>\n

Last week, the United States, along with the United Kingdom and France, bombed Syrian government targets, ostensibly in retaliation for an alleged chemical attack which was carried out one week before in the city of Douma.<\/p>\n

The story we\u2019re told is simple: Syrian President Bashar Assad is an evil maniac who uses poison gas on his citizens for the sheer entertainment value. As neocon think tank the Atlantic Council\u00a0put it<\/a>\u00a0last week, when Assad gasses people, he is simply \u201cindulging an addiction<\/em>\u201d \u2014 an addiction which he seems to have only recently acquired, given the fact that before Syria\u2019s war began, American journalists were busy\u00a0praising<\/a>\u00a0the \u201ceducated<\/em>\u201d and \u201cinformed<\/em>\u201d Assad and marveling at the \u201cphenomenal<\/em>\u201d levels of peace and religious diversity within Syria.<\/p>\n

\n

In 2006 Diane Sawyer praised Assad during a trip to Syria for the \u201cphenomenal\u201d levels of religious tolerance and peace in Syria. Funny how he turned into a monster at the exact moment Washington decided it was time for regime change. https:\/\/t.co\/24qy6UtFez<\/a><\/p>\n

Anyway, so intense is Assad\u2019s newfound desire for watching Syrian babies foaming at the mouth, that he is willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by deciding to use these weapons despite knowing it would provoke worldwide outrage and potentially a major US military effort to oust him. So, that\u2019s the story. Assad is a monster and the world must unite to stop him.
