US Mainstream Media silences dissent on Syria WMD claim

Just as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and Colin Power and the rest of the rogue's gallery of war criminals lied about Saddam Hussain's nonexistent "weapons of mass destruction," in order to bombard, invade and occupy Iraq in 2003, Obama and his surrogates cherry-picked the data and lied about the Syrian sarin gas attack in order to bombard Syria, just a decade later, in 2013.

 

Just as in 2003, the mainstream media in 2013 drank the poisonous Kool-Aid and diffused Obama's lie without ever bothering to question it for a second.

And, as he has done so many times in the past, investigative journalist and historian Seymour Hersh found out the truth and wanted to tell it, but the American mainstream media were too scared to publish it:  both the Washington Post and The New Yorker turned Hersh down, so the article, Whose Sarin?, was finally published by the London Review of Books in its issue of December 19, 2013.

Unlike the warmongers' networks, however, RT-America, never fell for the lie and consistently reported that there was no proof that the Assad regime was responsible, reporting–correctly–that a Syrian opposition group, Al-Nusra, was capable of producing and delivering the gas.

Of course, we can understand the Post's reluctance, since the Washington Post ran an unsigned editorial on page A36 entitled "Irrefutable" on February 6, 2003, the day after Colin Powell's Iraq presentation to the U. N. Security Council.

But don't bother to look for it on the archives of the Washington Post website: the cowardly hyprocrites deleted it!

Read the censored Washington Post editorial, "Irrefutable" here and keep it in mind the next time a president lies to the nation and to the world in order to launch another war.
