Syria chemical attack death toll rises to 75

  "BEIRUT — The death toll from a suspected chemical attack on a northern
   Syrian town rose to 75 on Wednesday as activists and rescue workers
   found more terrified survivors hiding in shelters near the site of the
   assault, one of the deadliest in Syria's civil war.
   
   A Syrian opposition group said renewed airstrikes hit the town of Khan
   Sheikhoun a day after the attack, which the Trump administration and
   others have blamed on the government of President Bashar Assad, as well
   as his main patrons, Russia and Iran.
   
   Damascus and Moscow have denied they were behind the attack. Russia's
   Defense Ministry said the toxic agents were released when a Syrian
   airstrike hit a rebel arsenal, an account Britain dismissed at an
   emergency U.N. session called in response to the attack.
   
   British Ambassador Matthew Rycroft said the U.K. had seen nothing that
   would suggest rebels "have the sort of chemical weapons that are
   consistent with the symptoms that we saw yesterday."
   
   Russia said it would submit information from its Defense Ministry to
   the Security Council debate.
   
   A resolution drafted by Britain, France, and the U.S. stresses the
   Syrian government's obligation to provide information about its air
   operations, including the names of those in command of any helicopter
   squadrons on the day of the attack.
   
   Diplomats were also meeting in Brussels for a major donors' conference
   on the future of Syria and the region. Representatives from 70
   countries were present.
   
   The attack on Khan Sheikhoun killed dozens of people on Tuesday,
   leaving residents gasping for breath and convulsing in the streets.
   Videos from the scene showed volunteer medics using fire hoses to wash
   the chemicals from victims' bodies.
   
   Haunting images of lifeless children piled in heaps reflected the
   magnitude of the attack, which was reminiscent of a 2013 chemical
   assault that left hundreds dead and was the worst in the country's
   six-year conflict.
   
   The Turkish Health Ministry said three victims of the attack died while
   being treated in Turkey, and that 29 people wounded in the attack were
   still being cared for in hospitals in the country. Syrian opposition
   groups had previously reported 72 dead.
   
   Turkey set up a decontamination center at a border crossing in the
   province of Hatay following the attack, where the victims are initially
   treated before being moved to hospitals.
   
   Syrian doctors said a combination of toxic gases is suspected to have
   been released during the airstrikes, causing the high death toll and
   severe symptoms.
   
   The World Health Organization and the international medical charity
   Doctors Without Borders said victims of the attack appear to show
   symptoms consistent with exposure to a nerve agent.
   
   In a statement, the agency said "the likelihood of exposure to a
   chemical attack is amplified by an apparent lack of external injuries
   reported in cases showing a rapid onset of similar symptoms, including
   acute respiratory distress as the main cause of death."
   
   Pope Francis said during his general audience that he was "watching
   with horror at the latest events in Syria," and that he "strongly
   deplored the unacceptable massacre."
   
   Earlier, President Donald Trump denounced the attack as a "heinous" act
   that "cannot be ignored by the civilized world." German Foreign
   Minister Sigmar Gabriel called on Russia to endorse a planned Security
   Council resolution condemning the attack.
   
   British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said "all the evidence" he had
   seen so far in the latest chemical weapons attack in Syria "suggests
   this was the Assad regime ... (that) did it in the full knowledge that
   they were using illegal weapons in a barbaric attack on their own
   people."
   
   yria's government denied it carried out any chemical attack. But early
   Wednesday, Russia, a major ally of the Syrian government, alleged a
   Syrian airstrike hit a rebel arsenal, releasing the toxic agents.
   
   The Russian Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov,
   said in a statement that Russian military assets registered the strike
   on a weapons depot and ammunition factory on the town's eastern
   outskirts. Konashenkov said the factory produced chemical weapons that
   were used in Iraq.
   
   Wednesday's renewed airstrikes hit near the location of the suspected
   chemical attack, said Ahmed al-Sheikho, of the Idlib Civil Defense
   team. He said the strikes did not cause any casualties because the area
   had been evacuated following Tuesday's attack.
   
   The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 20 children
   and 17 women were among those killed. Abu Hamdu, a senior member of the
   Syrian Civil Defense in Khan Sheikoun, said his group has recorded 70
   deaths.
   
   He said his team of rescuers was still finding survivors, including two
   women and a boy hiding in an underground shelter beneath their home.
   
   Israeli defense officials said Wednesday that military intelligence
   officers believed government forces were behind the attack.
   
   The officials said Israel believes Assad has tons of chemical weapons
   currently in his arsenal. They spoke to The Associated Press on
   condition of anonymity Wednesday as they are not allowed to brief
   media. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also blamed the Syrian
   government for the attack.
   
   A top Syrian rebel representative said he held U.N. mediator Staffan De
   Mistura "personally responsible" for the attack.
   
   Mohammad Alloush, the rebels' chief negotiator at U.N.-mediated talks
   with the Syrian government, said the envoy must begin labeling the
   Syrian government as responsible for killing civilians. He said the
   U.N.'s silence "legitimizes" the strategy.
   
   "The true solution for Syria is to put Bashar Assad, the chemical
   weapons user, in court, and not at the negotiations table," said
   Alloush, who is an official in the Islam Army rebel faction.
   
   Syria's rebels, and the Islam Army in particular, are also accused of
   killing civilians in Syria, but rights watchdogs attribute the
   overwhelming portion of civilian causalities over the course of the
   six-year-war to the actions of government forces and their allies. "

Final newspaper endorsement count: Clinton 57, Trump 2
BY REID WILSON - 11/06/16 07:09 PM EST

  "[ ... ]
   Among the top 100 largest newspapers in America, just two — the Las
   Vegas Review-Journal and the Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville —
   endorsed Trump. The Review-Journal is owned by Sheldon Adelson, the
   casino magnate who has spent millions trying to elect Trump.
   [ ... ]"



Thats a humbling amount and now that Bannon has been officially banned 
from the National Security Council, by The Donald himself, people who
voted for, support and have endorsed Trump should keep close tabs on
these publications and maybe even, after passing the `like' Trump litmus
test, take paid subscriptions etc.

Shit-for-brains shabbos goy Donnie-boy will do anything President/King Kushner tells him to do. 

President/King Kushner went to Iraq, where he met with Mossad, and arranged everything, then the "gassing event" happened, and Kushner tells shabbos goy Donnie-boy to get rid of the Bannon bozo, because they don't have to fool the alt-tards any more about being "anti-semitic." 

Make America Great Again.   :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Trump shouldn't fool himself. These Syria Chemical attacks are a boon
for the International human organ traffickers / traders, and of course
now with a lack of bloody wars, new fresh meat for the elitist
cannibals. The Turks have now become the all hands on. The Turk
officials and the Turk Erdogan health ministry do the rescue, they pick
up the dead babys, and also now do the authorised and authoritative
autopsy's of the fresh dead bodies :

Syria Deaths Linked to Chemical Agent Sarin

But at reddit and also George Webb on youtube, who did tons of research
on Syria in 2013,  they may have found something

I may have found something interesting about the origin of the Syria gas story (self.The_Donald)

   This attack was a false flag and they're using the old, tired out
   memes of the "moderate" rebels. I also have been compiling links
   and evidence. I will be running a story on this soon I think.
   Notice how in the photos showing the White Helmets on the scene,
   none of them are wearing any protective gear. They should all have
   suffered horrific injuries and even died from the exposure.
   John McCain was just in Syria a few weeks ago. What was he doing
   there? He was also in Syria weeks before another chemical attack in
   2013 if I remember correctly.
