Tom — I read your email response to my post with a sort of slack jawed disbelief. I’ll start with your post below:

Tom Secker responded to Tom — just came across your site due to someone linking to your Gladio article.:

Tom Secker

Thanks for your kind words.

I find that ironic coming from Caitlin Johnstone, who has consistently denied Assad’s war crimes and claims that any video of victims of Assad or the Russian Air Force are fake.

my response — — — — — First of all Caitlin Johnstone says nothing of the sort. She states that she requires what anyone with a shred of conscience and credibility does at this point, which is “evidence” rather than simply assertions by the very Western supported jihadist head-choppers we are using to try to overthrow Assad. How can you who have a working knowledge of Operation Gladio, and know that the “Kuwati incubator babies” story was pure war propaganda, the “weapons of mass destruction” story was pure war propaganda, and the “Gaddaif’s viagra fueled rape camps” story was pure war propaganda, simply take the latest Western war propaganda narratives at face value? I find that stunning.

We’re to believe that twice in two years, just as U.S. involvement is scheduled to wind down Assad decides against all reason and self-interest to kill some civilians with gas or chemicals just in time to save our jihadist’s from their loss of U.S. support. Sorry buddy, but if you can’t see through this nonsense, and if you think that Assad defending his nation with requested Russian support (legal by international law) constitutes a war crime, versus the West arming and supporting the jihadists attacking that nation (illegal by international law), than you fit into exactly the category that the Caitlin Johnstone quote aimed at. Perhaps explaining your prickly response.

Since I’ll assume you are a credible human being and not simply another shill for empire I’d encourage you to read a bit more broadly on Syria from those with no vested interest in destroying the nation. Perhaps the work of Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley would broaden your perspectives. Both have reported extensively from the ground risking their lives and incurring the wrath of MSM and Western elites for doing so. Better yet consider a trip to Syria itself. There’s nothing like traveling to a war zone and speaking to people ones self to cut through the haze. My own travels into war zones in Nicaragua, El Salvador and twice to Colombia were quite useful in this regard.

warm regards — Gary
