They Have No Proof: MIT Professor Explains Why the Assad Gas Attack Was a Sham<\/a><\/h3>\n

The mainstream narrative surrounding the sarin gas attack in Syria simply doesn\u2019t add up. Even if you assume that Assad is nothing but a vile monster who would have no problem with gassing his own people, the attack still doesn\u2019t make sense. That\u2019s because even monsters have a sense of self-preservation.<\/p>\n

Just days before the attack, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced a reversal of a longstanding policy in Washington. He said that the US was no longer absolutely determined to oust Assad. America\u2019s six year war against his regime was basically over. So why would Assad reignite a conflict with the world\u2019s preeminent superpower with a chemical weapons attack? A conflict that I might add, would greatly reduce the chances of him remaining in power?<\/p>\n

Assad is by no means a good guy. He\u2019s not even an okay guy. He is definitely a despot who relies on violence to suppress the population. But he\u2019s never shown any signs of being suicidal. Six years of fighting to maintain his rule proves that. What\u2019s much more likely is that Assad is being set up.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t believe our government\u2019s claims about satellite photography catching Assad\u2019s aircraft dropping the sarin. In fact, the little evidence that has been provided falls on its face once you take a closer look. That\u2019s the determination of Theodore Postol<\/a>, a physicist and professor at MIT, who reviewed documents released by the White House regarding the gas attack.<\/p>\n

Postol said: \u201cI have reviewed the [White House\u2019s] document carefully, and I believe it can be shown, without doubt, that the document does not provide any evidence whatsoever that the US government has concrete knowledge that the government of Syria was the source of the chemical attack in Khan Sheikhoun, Syria at roughly 6am to 7am on 4 April, 2017.<\/p>\n
